There are few legends in theElden Ringcommunity as glorified and revered as Let Me Solo Her, the legendary Tarnished who was able to defeat Malenia,one of the game’s toughest bosses, hundreds if not thousands of times while wearing nothing but a Jar helmet. InShadow of the Erdtree, a new Jar helmet is available for Tarnished who want to pay homage to the …adorable…Living Jars, and this legendary player: the Greatjar helmet.
TheElden RingDLC Greatjar helmet can be found relativelyearly in the Realm of Shadow, and though its defenses are not that great for how much it weighs, it’s worth picking up for the sheer Elden Bling of the piece. But to get it, you’ll have to make your way through a new dungeon, through a maze, and make it across a short platforming section hidden just out of sight.
A greatjar which fits comfortable over the head when upturned.
Attire of the shamans who perform their worship at gaols.
They offer their prayers to the innards of the greatjars, such that they might be reborn one day into sainthood.
This is the cycle of death and rebirth, taken into the hands of mortal men.
The Greatjar is a unique head armor piece inShadow of the Erdtreethat serves as anupgraded – and significantly, even comically larger – version of the infamous Jar head armor piece. The Greatjar is an enormous helmet, and will look just as bizarrely enormous on a characterwearing the full Lionel setas one wearing nothing at all, like the helmet’s most famous wearer, Let Me Solo Her.

The helmetoffers pretty meager defenses relative to its incredibly high 12.3 Weight. Despite being sorted high in the inventory, right next to the regular Jar head armor among other light head armors, the Greatjar is anything but light. It weighs almost twice as much as other pieces of head armor with similar stats,but lets not kid ourselves here – if you are equipping the Greatjar helmet, you’re not equipping it for its defenses.
It is worth noting that theShadow of the ErdtreeGreatjar helmet does offer a unique buff when worn. Like the smaller Jar,the Greatjar will empower all of your Pot-based items. In addition toregular thrown Jars and Potsfrom the base game, this affects the new Hefty Pot craftable items in theElden RingDLC,which can be especially useful when taking on Furnace Golems.
Where To Find Great Jar Helmet Location
To get the Great Jar Helmet inShadow of the Erdtree, youmust find the Belurat Gaol, a side dungeon found in northwest Gravesite Plain.
Headnorth from the Three-Path Crosssite of grace until you reach the lakebed where the Ghostflame Dragon is resting.Turn and head west to find a runoff where the river leads into a cave. This is the entrance to the Belurat Gaol. Head inside and light the grace, then continue forward.
You will reach an enormous open room –turn left and follow the path linearly until you fall down, as the path will break beneath you.
Continue on this path forward (without entering side rooms) and across a thin stone bridge. Continue through the cave entrance, defeat the jar innard monstrosities that ambush you, try not to think about the disturbing fact thatthese fleshy tortured horrorsare what’s stuffed inside the lovable Jar people, then turn left to find another cave entrance.
Walk past the spirit here (but talk to it if you want to learn something about the creation of Living Jars), thenjump down the hanging pots in the room beyondto find a lower level with a few Jar Warriors and smaller Jar lads.
Head west to reach another open cave areawith a large bridge that leads to what looks like an altar to a gigantic Pot.Cross the bridge to, once again, find the ground break beneath you, dropping theTarnished into a labyrinthian Jar maze. Make your way to thesoutheast of this mazetofind a path that leads down, then continue past the Jar Warriors and innard enemies to find another semi-open area.Jump over the gapbetween the two walkable areas, andlook for a hanging pot over the side of a cliff’s edge. Thepot that is parallel with the cliffwill take you deeper into the Gaol, while thepot that is lowerthan you will take youtoward the Greatjar helmet.Jump onto the lower pot to activate it and lift you to a level above.
After the Pot lifts to its max height, jump off onto the edge to a pillar to the west, then make your way across more hanging pots to reach the Jar Altar itself. The Greatjar head armor pieceShadow of the Erdtreeplayers can get is found at the base of this Jar Altar. Pick it up, then turn around, head east, then turn south to find another Jar hanging off the side of this altar area. Take this jar down to continue with the rest of the Belurat Gaol.
