Pumpkin Helm | Elden Ring Wiki

I'm cosplaying as the pumkinhead ingame under the name "Fell Pumpkinhead". I use the prophet start since the pants go really well with the helm (I just wear the pants and the helm). If I get summoned for something and succeed with a person I've met three times in a row, I give them a pumpkinhead helm as a token of friendship.

Submit

I miss the bell helm from DS2 and the ring you’d get

Submit

Why do people say this is rare? I got like 3 of these in 5 minutes of casual farming when trying out a few new skills

Submit

anybody have some nice fashion to go with this? I can't quite find armor with the right golden color.

Submit

1. Stack with crucible knot.
2. Spam Stamp (Sweep) or Stamp (Uppercut) with preferred weapon.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Submit

It's so weird to me that this helmet is a guaranteed drop if you beat the mad pumpkin head that's in the ruins with Sella. This is on patch 1.0.0 btw.

Submit

If im wearing this and were to use a war cry ash of war, would it Sound muffled? If so, i might Farm for this.

Submit

Will it reduce damage from the holy laser beams coming from above when you fight the Elden Beast?

Submit

Is the droprate "hardcoded"? Because I got I very early at the bridge from West to East Limgrave. Some of you are farming like hell and don't get it.

To the helm: I used it some time -> Helps against death bird, hawk and giant crow picking attacks. Also against flying Misbegotten. Maybe also against this small "astel-things" which shoot gravity stones at you?
Unsure if this helps for jumping+stomping attacks like from the watchdogs with the colossal sword.
Maybe it is more useful to use this talisman with the same skill, because the weight of this helmet is extreme.

Submit

Pumpkin dance pumpkin dance, whatever does it mean?

It means you've got low item discovery : 3

Submit

Pumpkin helm will be a purple drop. I have picture proof but I don't know how to show it.

Submit

254 Discovery, took 10 runs (and actually that final run disc was 204 as the silver feet wore off just prior to the kill)
10 Sanctuary Stones
3 Smithing Stone (1)
1 Pumpkin Helm
A few mushrooms too, great for my pot loving Mimic...lol

Submit

took 23 kills at base wretch arcane and silver scarab, just rid over to it at saintsbridge, bonked it with godslayer greatsword and memory of grace'd back, then repeat.

Submit

Quickest farming method I made was using Bolt of Gransax at Saintsbridge. Equip the appropriate talismans and you can one shot him from the edge from the bridge. Look for a purple/white drop. If it's just a white drop it's not the helm. Then either tele if huff it back to the grave. Happy hunting.

Submit

Farmed from the bridge, 87 tries with 184 discovery. Ignore the white flame drops unless you need sanctuary stones, helps save time and maximize tries per silver pickled fowl foot. The flame will be blue when the Helm drops.

Submit

I swear this has to he the rarest item in the game

Submit

>Reduces damage from headshots and impacts.

By how much? And does it help against overhand attacks?

Submit

Rise up, ye tarnished, equip this mighty helmet, and become the Elden Gourd.

Submit

I appreciate From's continued commitment to letting players wear funny hats, which is, as we all know, the real point of playing these games

Submit

think this should have a bit more increased stats. not often you get headshot unless youre actively trying to use it, even then 12.3 weight for this feels like a bit too much.

Submit

Finding this on my pure strength build was good and bad, on one hand I found the funny pumpkin helmet early (castle morne), on the other hand, I can only wear it and my greatsword because my equip load is too low

Submit

I farmed for the fowl feet for like 20 min, went to the bridge and got it 1st try... Happy about my luck but the time spent farming feet was wasted!

Submit

I was thinking of some unique ability of putting No Skill AoW on your weapon and instead makes this thing do a headslam on the ground. Would be cool if From would do that, it would make No Skill AoW fun in some case.

Submit

60+ kills on the one at Saintsbridge at 195 discovery...

Submit

This is the perfect counter to thrusting weapon builds. any ash of war that makes you crouch down (I'm specifically using lifesteal fist) will force them to hit your head GREATLY reducing how much poise damage you take.

Submit

I finished at 112 sanctuary stones and finally got it, then the next kill I got another one so about 120ish kills and I got 2 back to back at 157 discovery

Submit

Should have more poise :(

Submit

142 kills 200 discovery, dreadful!

Submit

The deathbird close range peck attack pretty much glances off. Which makes sense

Submit

My first ever playthrough, I got it first time I killed a pumpkin head.

Submit

Got in nine kills. Saintsbridge. 107 discovery

Submit

I hate that i play these games like a lunatic and try to collect every armor and weapon. I did it for Bloodborne and now i feel weird if i dont. But one more sanctuary stone and im going to piss myself.

Submit

10 Base Arcane, Albinauric Mask and Silver Pickled-foul in the Saints Bridge, got it within 10 minutes, not sure how many kills.

Submit

one time i gave somebody one of these now every time i see it i like to think it’s him

Submit

433 sancturary stones... Encounting.

Submit

Pretty sure mine dropped from the one on the south eastern rampart of Redmane Castle

Submit

Sorry babe, the pumpkin helm stays ON during sex

Submit

120 tries with foot so far nothing. god damn elden ring just give me the helm!!

Submit

Prepare to own a lot of sanctuary stones

Submit

Got it first try by accident

Submit

Got it first kill last month, thought it was a guarantee drop until right now lmao

Submit

Got it 2nd try at Saintsbrigde, up your luck up boys

Submit

rarest item in the game lol

Submit

1 kill at fort Haight

Submit

>30 kills in Sainsbridge, 268 discovery: Silver Tear Mask + Silver Scarab + Godrick's Rune + Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot

Submit

onions hav layers donke

Submit

100 kills with 250 item discovery and still nothing

Submit

Shouldn't this block the madness from that tower in the lakes region?

Submit

57 kills at Saintsbridge, 240 discovery

Submit

1 kill 10 arcane at SaintsBridge.. Gg

Submit

65 kills with 80 Arcane

Submit

Pumpkins rise up

Submit

Onion lives on forever

Submit

I reset him 16 times then my dad wanted to try, he got it in one try. XD. So overall 17 tries to get the helm for me without buffs.

Submit

ive went to ng+3, beat the game on a strength character, killed idk how many pumpkin heads. I make a new character for dex, it drops right away from the one in fort haight lmao

Submit

I must say that "Saintsbridge" in Limgrave is the best place to farm the item, as it is a low level area and you have a respawn point right next to the pumpkin head

Submit

Is this a pvp helm or it does work in pve ? i'm not sure if mobs or boss does headshot

Submit

How well does the reduction work? Anywhere near as powerful as the Pumpkin Head enemies themself?

Submit

With godrick's great rune, marika's scarseal, a handful of silver-pickled fowl feet I received 108 sanctuary stones... and 1 pumpkin helm.

Submit

Submit

I must have just had really bad RNG with this drop. I farmed the one in Lyndell for the flail close to 30 kills before I got the flail (no helm) and just farmed the Saint's Bridge another 16 kills before I finally got mine. Sitting at 218 discovery (bc I couldn't be bothered to respec pure discovery for farming drops. 218 has served me well enough, this helm just RNG f**k'd me.)

Submit

Very rare drop can confirm

Submit

Took me 3 tries with 250 discovery. Probably lucky but judging by people's response here, it isn't that bad of a drop.

Submit

Use godricks great rune, Silver Pickled fowl foot any arcane gear that you have like silver tear mask ect... and you should get it after a few kills just rest at the site on the bridge dont fast travel

Submit

How do you eat with that thing on?

Submit

at 246 itemfind it took me like 20 kills to get it. Even though it is very heavy, stats it provides are somewhat mediocre other then insane ammount of focus, compared to other heavy helms.

Submit

Just how rare is this thing?

Submit

is this a berserk reference?

Submit

It's a rare drop so don't bother picking it up, if the color ain't blue

Submit

Got it by killing the Pumpkin Head at Saintsbridge <30 times, using silver-pickled fowl feet.

Submit

Siegward helm......

Submit

i think using a strike type weapon could make it drop faster because i killed him 80 times with uchi with no drop, then I switched to morningstar and he dropped it first kill

Submit

Confirmed drop at Saintsbridge, got it on my 4th reset.

Submit

Do the effects stack with crucible knot talisman?

Submit

Dropped from the first pumpkin head I killed, on the Saintsbridge. Didn't even know it was a rare drop till I saw the comments below. Praise the Elden Ring, I guess!

Submit

Wiki says "Pumpkin Helm Reduces damage from headshots and impacts"
Does it work in PvP or when mobs hit you?

Submit

I got it first try lmao

Submit

Got at saintsbridge after about an hour (I was oneshotting him so it was probably like 100 attempts)

Submit

I got it at Saintsbridge after probably 5-10 attempts.

Submit

I got it while farming the Flail at Fort Haight, the run to the Pumpkin Head there is very short so it's probably the best farming spot, just be sure to farm it before clearing the area as doing so will forbid enemies from respawning

Submit

Got it at Saint Bridge after 114 attempts.

Submit

It took 52 minutes and 82 attempts at Saintsbridge, but I can finally say that the pumpkin helm is in fact real.

Submit

got it on my first kill on the pumpkin guarding the stairs at fort haight, lol.

Submit

this is just a worse prisoners mask

Submit

Confirmed drop on Saints ridge. 30-45 minutes of farming.

Submit

Got it after about 35 resets at Castle Morne.

Taking the Castle Morne lift, sneaking through the middle of the court yard just behind the left most Misbegotten before fighting the Pumpkin Head.

Submit

That's ****ing Mayor McCheese

Submit

Really getting channeler trident flashbacks trying to get this thing to drop

Submit

It's such a shame they didn't give this a full set

Submit

Best farming location for this helmet?

Submit

I got this after about 40 attempts at Castle Morne, Travel to Castle Morne Lift, sneak past baddies, attack pumpkin, repeat! Pro-tip: send lift back down before entering castle it saves tons of time.

Submit

I got it after about 40 tries in Castle Morne, go to lift sneak past enemy's and attack. pumpkin gang unite!

Submit

I CAN CONFIRM: at the Saintsbridge there is a pumpkin head enemy that is right next to a grace site and after farming for about 45 mins to an hour I did get the Helm from him. It takes a long time but keep farming!

Submit

Just killed the pumpkin at waypoint ruins and didn’t get the helm

Submit

the drop rate is ridiculous. this should be classified as a rare drop

Submit

Does anyone know where it is yet?

Submit

Does the pumpkin head at saints bridge drop the helm?

Submit

Yeah ive been farming pumpkin heads and still nothing

Submit

killed 3 different pumpkinheads, no helmet

Submit
