Falmer Helmet Glitch Research Thread

[Al_Alchemist]

I recently found out about this glitch while playing on the PS3 (and looked online), but I haven't found a thread on it here yet. If you don't know what this glitch is, it allows you to wear a Falmer Helmet with any Dragon Priest's mask, Masque of Clavicus Vile, or at least a few other helmet types. The benefits to doing this are two extra enchantment slots on your helmet and extra armor rating, at the cost of only being able to wear specific helmets with it (and possibly lose some armor related perks?). Specifically, you can utilize the extra fortify Alchemy enchantment to add to the feedback enchanting loop, and create even stronger enchantments/smithing equipment.

I have only tested this glitch myself with Morokei, Ebony Helmet, Elven Helmet, Glass Helmet, Iron Helmet, Steel Helmet, and the Steel Horned Helmet so far.

Of that list so far, I have confirmed that Morokei and Ebony Helmet are both equip-able with the Falmer Helmet. Although, the Ebony Helmet requires you to first equip the Falmer Helmet + Morokei (in either order), then equip the Ebony Helmet. The above rest do not work with the Falmer Helmet from any method I've tried so far, so I doubt they do.

If anyone else is interested into looking into this glitch, here's what I'm mainly trying to figure out:

• Which helmets/headgear work with this glitch (Falmer Helmet + ?)
• What perks are effected by this glitch? Do you still get the 25% bonus from wearing 4 Light Armor Pieces while wearing the (Heavy Armor) Falmer Helmet, or the matching set perk with full Ebony Armor + Falmer Helmet?

--

Confirmed myself (for at least PS3 version):

• Falmer Helmet works with: Morokei, Ebony Helmet (equip Falmer + DP Mask first, then Ebony Helmet)

• Falmer Helmet cannot be seen while wearing Morokei or Ebony Helmet

• Can be enchanted

• Adds to overall Armor Rating

Also, Falmer Helmet is listed as Light Armor on site, but it's actually Heavy Armor.

This is also true for the Krosis / Ancient Shrouded Cowl - gives 55 % bow dmg instead of enchanted headgear with only 40%.

You can wear the Ancient Shrouded Cowl with pretty much anything as far as I've tested it. The order you put them on does matter though.

Circlets also work with the Falmer Helmet without equipping anything between them.

A couple other things:

-Execution hoods work (with the mask in between)

- If you are wearing a two helmet combo, DO NOT take them off individually. This will break them and they will not go on together again. Instead, put on another helmet or hat that does not work with the Falmer helmet. That will remove both at the same time and they will continue pairing

Krosis and vokun work with the falmer helm, but morokei and the falmer helm causes a invisible head with a floating falmer helm.

None of the above glitches work for me. I am not able to double up any headwear regardless of the order I put it on. I have tried with falmer helmet, shrouded cowl, ancient shrouded cowl, and several dragon priest masks.

My character is a redguard; not sure if this is relevant, as I have heard it seems to only work with bosmer, argonian, and khajit?

I'm Altmer and it works for me. Do you have the 1.2 patch? That may get rid of this glitch.

Jagged crown also allows u to wear multiple head gear.
