Old Bell Helm

In-Game Description

Helm forged from an ancient bell.

Appears to be a mere curiosity,
but is in fact quite practical.
The top of the helm provides
significant defense.

Availability

Treasure in Frozen Eleum Loyce. From the point where you can go left to drop down to the Abandoned Dwelling bonfire, instead go right. The Helm is on a corpse and the very end of the path.

General Information
