Banished Knight Helm is a Helm in Elden Ring. Banished Knight Helm is part of the Banished Knight Set, and is a heavyweight helmet that strikes a good balance between physical and magical defense.
Thick, full set of armor covering the entire body.
This helm was worn by knights who, whether by misfortune or misdeed, were forced to abandon their homes.
Perhaps the deep-red scarf was used to block the winds, for on the outskirts, the winds bite with a stinging fierceness.
Where to find Banished Knight Helm in Elden Ring
- Dropped by the wandering Banished Knight at Cathedral of Dragon Communion (Altered, Red hood), and the one standing by the cliff, to the west.

This is the centerpiece of my current fashion: This, Radahn soldier surcoat, Ronins gauntlets, Radahn soldier greaves.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a nice “alternative Redmane” look.

There is another banished Knight with this helmet in Stormveil Castle that you could get it from

Goes well with the Guardian Garb. I know it's green and this is red, but Trust Me and just try it out if you've got both.
To fill out the rest of the set, I go with Leyndell Knight legs and Guardian Bracers

Drop rate on the helm sucks. 7 armors, 6 gauntlets, 4 grieves, 4 swords and 4 shields before the helm dropped

This helm is the peak of DRIP. I love it. perfectly fit for a non chest piece set. Just to say,the scarf cover the helm and part of your shoulder,falling on the back and in front of the chest,leaving a great part of your muscles (chest,abdominal and arms)uncovered. Just mix it up with zamor bracelets and whatever leg armor you want. Sure,you will take a little bit more damage without chest piece,BUT EHY, you have created an anime style tarnished!

I am just now realizing I have never seen this variant only altered.

Of course the game gives me 50 million Greatswords and Shields, but not a single one of the helmets I'm actually looking for.

Scarf around this is literally heavier than a metal dragon ornament.

I would use this but the helmet clips through the hood whenever you move.

If only the full scarf showed up on more than like 4 chest pieces this would complete about half of my fashion fits

I like it but the hood physics at the front are wack. Moving forward causes the front of the hood to push inward and it looks goofy.

There’s a ledge you can stand on at the Cathedral of Dragon communion in Caelid by climbing up the dragon (ledge is right next to it’s head). You can shoot at the knight there and he won’t be able to reach you. Got it from him after a few tries and a few runs to get arrows, even at a lower level

I paired this with the Depraved Perfumer garb, and it looks pretty damn nice!

this helm wouldve worked great with the Ronin armor but the scarf gets tucked in for no reason

For the life of me this is the least consistent headpiece, with it's shoulder scarf visual gimmick, chest pieces like malenia's with OBVIOUS room for the scarf, won't trigger it. and on a muct more dissapointing exception, the zamor chest armor has a single pauldron and a free shoulder which would fit perfectly with this, but these MoFOS made the scarf cover the FAKIN PAULDRON instead of the FREE SHOULDER. SIGH!
Anyways I wear it with scaled chest, vagabond or bloody wolf gauntlets and blaidd's greaves. looks dope! (Bloody wolf chest also looks quite good with it, though I'd prefer diallos mask with that armor)

Can anyone confirm if the Hair piece on the back is Not on this?

This, Blaidd's armor with the cloak taken off, the fire prelate gauntlets, and Blaidd's leggings are peak elden bling and give you >51 poise. The whole scarf goes over the armor and matches the tunic under the armor.

also drops from the knights wearing it in farum azula, so i would asume it can drop from any knight wearing it

Probably one of the most fashionable head pieces in the game.

This set along with the grave scythe and a highly mobile ash of war (and possibly some death sorceries) would make for a nice Spectre Knight cosplay.
100+ kills on the Caelid bastard, got 5 full sets now (+5 swords and 7 shields), except the Helm...

People complaining you can see your eyes through the helmet, meanwhile I wish we could have just the hood without the helm so I can see my characters face, I know there's Crimson Hood but I'd prefer the darker color of this one
- Anonymous
I get some people don't like the eyes being visible but I love the look of this helmet with either the Frenzied Flame Eye or Dragon Communion effect

For those of you annoyed at being able to see your tarnished eyes through the helm, choose eyepatch number 4 under cosmetics in the mirror in Fias room. Make it the darkest shade of black. Now your eyes are hidden.

Goes surprisingly well with the Cleanrot armor even with a different color of metal, and the cape will drape over the shoulder altered or unaltered
There aren't a lot of chestpieces that let you drape the scarf over your shoulder while also still looking nice, the Mausoleum Soldier Surcoat probably looks the best in that regard. Of course, you could pair it with the Exile chestpiece so the red blends in anyway.

This can be dropped from the banished knight in front of the godskin duo boss fight arena. There is half a dozen of them there if you want to farm this.

i wish the hood on this and the cape on the unaltered chestpiece were the same colour

wore this with altered blaidd's set it just fit perfectly with the red cloth sticking out of the armor, one complain is gap on the helmet is too wide i can see my creepy tarnished eyes from certain angle

This can be also found from the ones at Stormveil if they’re wearing a hood. A really easy one is the one from the jumping puzzle next to Godrick’s boss room.

The Banished Knights who wear this get both hood and mane, but we only get the hood.
0/10, plz buff From

Farmed the guy on Dragon Communion Cathedral for this. 245 total Discovery. Around 75 kills.
6 Swords
6 Shields
4 Chests
9 Gauntlets
7 Greaves
1 Helmet
Yeah... These drop rates are really something...
- Anonymous
Update for the Wiki, This also drops from the Banished knight in Farum Azula near the Dragon Temple site of grace.
Love that vagabond knight look. Just regal enough to not look like you fished it out of a dumpster and just rugged enough to not look like it's never seen a sword in its life. Like the Fallen Knight helmet from Dark Souls 3 but less edgy.

they NEED to fix this: the forehead hood clips into your helmet whenever you move— embarrassing

Using capeless armors makes the scarf spread out more along your shoulders. Altering caped armors like the standard gelmir, redmane or godrick knight chestplates to remove the cape allows the effect as well.

Has anyone else had a problem with this helmet ,where the hood clips into the face whenever you move? It totally ruins the helmet for me. I play on ps4, and have not heard anyone else complain about this. Any input would be appreciated.
- Anonymous
It took me about 25 minutes of farming the two knights at Dragon Cathedral in Caelid to get this at 240 item discovery. You can kill about 6-8 Banished Knights per silver-pickled fowl foot (1-shot them with a spell, or backstab, or riposte).
Helmet looks great. This helmet is PEAK Dark Souls Hobo Knight fashion, I'm tellin you.
Despite the Banished Knights wearing the helmet still having that ugly white plume in the back, when YOU wear this helmet, it does not have that ugly hair plume thing.

Been trying to get the Red (Original) Helm for days. Hours of defeating the knights both in the Castle and Communion. Nothing. No luck. Like a slap in the face lol. I've gotten everything else Banished Knight wise... multiple times. Altered Helmet? Got like 10 of those. But for whatever reason, I have 0 luck for the one I want. Talk about annoying.

So apparently Boc CAN'T alter this helm? I completed his quest (Good ending) and he still won't change it

Altered version of the helm doesn't have correct stats, they're: 7.1 wght, 6.7 phs, 5.2 str, 6.8 slsh, 5.1 prc, 4.7 mgc, 4.7 fire, 4.6 lightn, 4.6 holy, 21imm, 30 rob, 13 foc, vit 14, poise 8. (Patch 1.03)

I really love this helmet, both as actual armor and for fashion. Works with a nice chunk of chestpieces like Exile or Cleanrot.

I can confirm that the red hooded knight by the secluded cell in stormveil castle drops the hooded helmet.
- Anonymous
I'm like 99% sure they buffed the red hooded unaltered variant post release. I originally got mine from Dragon Communion because I thought it looked better but was disappointed when the Damage Negations were lower and the Resistances were higher. Now it seems it's overall just better in trade off for .4 weight. I got a second drop from Crumbling Azula but it has identical stats to the first one so it has nothing to do with the so called 3rd variation, however that could be why people are mentioning such a thing.

The wording here seems to be off, it says there are two “other” variants, but I believe it should say two variants total, so unless someone has three different versions, I think the wiki is wrong
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong tho
- Anonymous
Got the red hooded variant and it beats out any other helmet I've found so far in every single stat (except weight). Might have to eventually farm the entire set because it seems really good.
Plus, if you wear it with a long bear, the hood makes you look like a baby Gael
Are there 3 variants to this helmet, or only 2? I only am sure about the Altered helmet version dropping from the stormveil castle ones, and the red hood variant dropping from the dragon cathedral one.
- Anonymous
This helm with the bloodhound set is a really good fallen knight set cosplay.
This says there are 3 versions: "there are 2 other variants".
I am only finding 2 of the 3 though: the red cowl and the silver metal one. Where do we get the 3rd version with the 6.3 phys def?
- Anonymous
Where can I get a default helm?I have got the altered one and the one with red scarf which also called BANISHED KNIGHT HELM.
I do not have the helm with 6.3 phy dmg negation.

Why does my game crash when I equip it??? Not the red version the one from the castle knights. Also for some reason it only drops while summoned as a cooperator.

Underwhelming IMHO, you can still see the eyes of your character when wearing it, it does not have the same mystique as prior DS knight helmets.

The unaltered helm with the red scarf drops from the knight outside the Cathedral of Dragon Communion
Took about 30 minutes of farming to get it; don't know if that's lucky.

Does anybody know if you can alter the helmet to get rid of the hair? Love the helmet hate the hair on it. Any information would help.

Does anyone know if the variant with the red scarf can drop?
The hooded version can be obtained from the knight(s?) wearing it.
My favorite combo with this is the banished knight armor, veterans legs and veteran hands to go with it, the red wrapping on the veteran legs match the helmet and make it seem like youre a banished general I love it
