Spiked Helm

The spiked helm is special compared to other helmets. Normally, a helm is only for protection. However, this special model has a huge spike on the top (thus the name), which allows the warrior to attack the foes with it as well (an albeit complicated attack), allowing for extra damage.

These helmets first appeared in Ultima V. In Ultima VI they were common, and Gherick at Serpent's Hold sold the for the price of 25 gold coins. In the following period of peace, the spiked helm vanished from the inventory of the armouries.

Trivia

 * In Ultima V, the spiked helm has an attack value of 4 and a defensive value of 3.
