Totenreich Viking Helmets Guide, All 4 Unlocks

Four helmets. Only Kneehigh needs part of the main quest first.

Golden Tide Helmet (Blue)

• Does: adds power-ups to fishing loot.

1. Get a fishing pole. Pole and fishing spot locations (11 spots).
2. Fish at the rod holders. Once per holder per round.
3. Keep fishing, round after round. It takes a lot of attempts.
4. Olaf, Cranker of Cod, gets pulled out. A reeled-in boot can turn into him.
5. Kill him. Pick up the helmet.

Cointoss Helmet (Gold)

• Does: drastically more power-up drops.

1. Go into Tyr's Head. Check the computer in the center (three Nixie tubes).
2. Letter and number: a map coordinate. Find it on your Tac Map. On Cursed there is no Tac Map, but a map inside the head helps a bit.
3. Single number: minimum kills needed inside that square.
4. Get that many kills in the square.
5. Robot head glows green: done.
6. Go back inside Tyr's Head for a free power-up.
7. Repeat. Each completion gives a power-up until the reward becomes the helmet. Pick it up.

Icebane Helmet (White)

• Does: full freeze immunity. Sliding into zombies sometimes freezes them.

Do both, any order:

1. Get 250 flamethrower kills.
2. Get 50 frost zombie kills with a bullet weapon, standing in the heat area.

• Explosives and ammo mods reportedly do not count for frost kills.
• Frost kills on Max Ammo rounds. Flamethrower kills on regular rounds.

The helmet drops when both are done.

Kneehigh Helmet

• Does: turns you into an overpowered gnome that shoots zombies and explodes a little on every jump.
• Time: 30 seconds total. Crouch and uncrouch to switch it off.

Needs the Wunderbarrage from the main quest, which opens the Machine Workshop. Then under 2 minutes.

1. Equip the Shadow Rift ammo mod on a bullet weapon. 2. Shoot four gnomes, any order. Each teleports away in a purple glow. Some need a few hits. - Machine Workshop: upstairs, behind the railing above a large crate. - Tyr's Foot: outside the playable area, in the distance, just under the security spotlights. - Eidskallen Stave Church: on the altar in the barrier below the large painting. - Lighthouse: very top, back side, left-hand side. 3. Go to Loven's Antiquities in Eidskallen Square. Interact with the Viking helmet.

• Buy it again at Blodheim Hall. Stays available all game.

Swapping Helmets

• Place down and swap all four at Blodheim Hall any time.
• Swapping is quick.
