Daedric Helmet Location
Chests and other random loot hold copies from level 48, and enchanted copies appear from level 49. The Atronach Forge at the College of Winterhold can also make it from an Ebony Helmet, a Daedra Heart, a Centurion Dynamo Core and a Black Soul Gem. That recipe needs a Sigil Stone placed in the forge instead of the perk.
Gameplay Tips
- Temper it at a workbench with one Ebony Ingot. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge it with the Daedric Smithing perk from 3 Ebony Ingots, 1 Daedra Heart and 2 Leather Strips.
- Its 23 armor beats the 22 of the Dragonplate Helmet, but it weighs nearly twice as much.
- Four Daedric pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades
A Daedric Helmet is improved at a workbench with one Ebony Ingot per improvement. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
