The Marked Beast Helmet is the last of 4 unique helmets found on the named Marked Men throughout the Lonesome Road DLC. It can be found on Blade, whom you’ll encounter in the second to last area of the DLC while making your way to Ulysses’ Temple.

• Lonesome Road DLC required. To get this helmet, you’ll need to have the Lonesome Road DLC installed.
• Part of a perk challenge. Killing 3 of the 4 unique Marked Men will lead to you getting the Marked perk, which will increase your damage against Marked Men by 10%.
  • The perk doesn’t function due to two separate coding errors, meaning that, unless you download a mod on the PC version of the game, this perk is completely useless.

Acquisition

During one of the final quests of the game, The Courier, you’ll encounter a collapsed apartment complex.

Once you find the building, you’ll see a nuke buried in a pile of rubble on the ground. Use your Laser Detonator on the nuke to blow up the rubble.

Once you do that Blade will spawn on the roof of the building. 

He’ll attempt to chase you down right away, so finding him won’t be an issue, but be warned – he has a very powerful sword (the Blade of the West) and uses Stealth Boys, making him very difficult to spot.

Once you kill him, you can take the mask from his corpse.

Differences Between This and the Other Marked Beast Helmets

Most Marked Beast helmets are similar in stats. All but one of them have a DT of 3 and can be hit 50 times before breaking – this one included.

On the other hand, all of the helmets provide different stat boosts. This helmet in particular provides a +3 bonus to your Melee Weapons skill, in addition to +10 to your Maximum HP.

Gameplay Tips

• The max HP bonus can be very helpful for all characters but is most noticeable on low-Endurance builds.
• The HP bonus is equivalent to ⅓ of the Life Giver perk bonus.
