The helm of speed is a type of magical helm that appears in EvilHack. Its default material is metal, and it provides very fast speed when worn. It has a randomized appearance, and the default one associated with it is a winged helmet.[1]

Generation

The Sokoban prize armor has an equal chance to be gauntlets of protection or a helm of speed.

Player monster centaurs and giants generated at level 20 will have a helm of speed, and two different kits for other level 20 player monsters include a helm of speed.[2][3][4][5]

Strategy

The helm provides a source of speed for player centaurs and tortles, who cannot wear boots of any kind; players of other species can use this to free up their boots slot, e.g. for water walking boots.
