The helm is found in [[Canalot]], in its king's possession. He holds a competition stipulating that anyone who can make him laugh will win the Helm. The party travels to [[Laissez Fayre]] to recruit comedian [[Tom Foolery]] to the cause, expecting him to unleash one of his funniest jokes on the king; instead, he delivers an impassioned speech about evil on the rise and then necessity of the Chosen to defeat it. The king is convinced and gives up the Helm. It increases the Hero's defence by 30 in all versions, and cuts the accuracy of [[fuddle]], [[snooze]], and [[paralysis]] to {{fraction|1|3}} in the remakes. In the original, it grants no such protection.
