The '''[[Hades' helm]]''' is a recurring helmet in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a purple helmet with yellow horn-like protrusions and a fur collar and is a cursed piece of equipment in half of its appearances, though as of the eleventh game it has begun to protect its wearer against being cursed instead.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The Hades' helm has a defence bonus of +30, and one is found in a chest in the [[Estuary Sanctuary]]. It can only be worn by certain monster companions, but not its namesake monster despite the beast dropping this item upon being defeated.
