About this armor
Raises maximum HP by 2%, maximum stamina by 5% and maximum equip load by 4.5%. These are percentage increases, not direct Vigor or Endurance points.
The equip-load bonus raises how much you can carry before crossing a roll threshold. The helm itself weighs 4, so include that weight when deciding whether it actually improves your load category.
The stamina increase enlarges the bar; it does not by itself increase stamina recovery speed. Removing the helm removes all three maximum-stat bonuses.

In-game description
Pointed helm of the Fire Knights under Messmer the Impaler's personal command.
Slightly increases maximum HP, stamina, and maximum equip load.
Each and every knight hailed from a renowned family of the Erdtree's upper echelons, but were shunned and chased from their homes after pledging allegiance to Messmer as their master.
Where to find
Specimen Storehouse walkways
Shadow Keep
Starting Site of Grace: Storehouse, Seventh Floor
- Enter the Realm of Shadow after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, by touching the withered arm in Mohg's arena.
- From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the main road north to Shadow Keep's southern gate. Ride the entrance lift and activate Shadow Keep Main Gate grace.
- Defeat Golden Hippopotamus in the plaza. This is the front-door route; the flooded Church District provides a different way into the keep.
- From Main Gate Plaza, leave through the west-northwest doorway, pass through the armory and climb the stairs. Continue up the wooden steps to the dining hall, where two Black Knights guard the route.
- Leave the dining hall through its southeastern exit to the upper rampart. Follow the rampart past the burning boats and watch for the small Shadow Militiamen hiding beside them.
- Take the stairs leading north-northeast toward the large lift, passing the Fire Knight in front of it. Ride up and activate Storehouse, First Floor grace.
- From Storehouse, First Floor, ride the entrance lift back down. The tall Fire Knight carrying the long greatsword near the bottom is a repeatable armor-farming target.
- Defeat it, collect any dropped loot, ride back up and rest at the grace. Repeat for the piece you need. Each armor piece has its own drop roll, so one kill can leave you without the desired item.
- Ordinary soldiers and Shadow Militiamen do not drop the Fire Knight outfit. You do not need to defeat Messmer or reach the seventh floor for this selected farm.
Notes
- Raises maximum HP by 2%, maximum stamina by 5% and maximum equip load by 4.5%. These are percentage increases, not direct Vigor or Endurance points.
- The equip-load bonus raises how much you can carry before crossing a roll threshold. The helm itself weighs 4, so include that weight when deciding whether it actually improves your load category.
- The stamina increase enlarges the bar; it does not by itself increase stamina recovery speed. Removing the helm removes all three maximum-stat bonuses.
- It has 6 poise and no direct bonus to Fire damage, Messmer's Flame spells or Fire Knight skills. The regular chest and the alternative special helms have different effects.
- Regular Fire Knights can drop it at a base rate of 3% with 100 Item Discovery. The pieces are separate rolls rather than a guaranteed full outfit.
- Has no altered version. Kood's Winged Serpent Helm and the Death Mask Helm are separate fixed headpieces, rather than alterations of this one.
