The skull helm has a defence bonus of +49, but it is [[cursed]] and reduces the wearer's attack to 0. It can only be worn by [[Yangus]], as well as [[Morrie]] in the 3DS version. There are only two in the entire game: one in a treasure chest on [[Isolated Plateau]] which is accessible with the [[Godbird's soulstone]] and one in the [[Heavenly Dais]]. Although it can be sold for 4,500 gold, it is not recommended due to its scarcity and the fact that it can be purified into a [[Sun crown]] using [[alchemy]].

Although it is not ideal to equip the Skull helm doing normal gameplay, it can be useful for farming; if Yangus has the skill Steal Sickle (or Stainless Steal Sickle) and equips the Skull helm, the player can use the skill on a desired enemy repeatedly until they obtain they item they want without the risk of killing them.
