The Hades' helm is a recurring helmet in the Dragon Quest series. It is a purple helmet with yellow horn-like protrusions and a fur collar and is typically a cursed piece of equipment, though as of the eleventh game it has begun to protect its wearer against being cursed instead.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
