Aniimo lets us catch a wide variety of regional forms during expeditions, with the Mountain Woods Helmut being a fan favorite thanks to its golden armor.
But unlike most variations, it cannot be found in the wild until you complete a certain quest. To help you unlock it and get your Golden Pawney or Rookey pair as soon as possible, here’s how to complete the Secret of the Golden Helmet quest in Aniimo.

Aniimo Secret of the Golden Helmet quest walkthrough
Available pretty much from the get-go, albeit in a high-level area, you can complete the Secret of the Golden Helmet quest in Aniimo by heading to the spot highlighted below, east of the Rainbow Woods Bloom and west of the heart of the Russet Highlands region.
You will find a gathering of Helmuts there, seemingly praying to an altar featuring three abandoned helmets. Now comes the tricky part, as you need to twine with an Aniimo capable of using the Cloak ability to get closer to it unnoticed. The easier-to-acquire pick? Any of the Wisptis found at Berylline Vale during nighttime. Upon getting access to the ability, do the following to complete the quest:
- Use Cloak.
- Interact with the golden helmet to force a Mountain Woods Form Helmut to spawn. You must do so while the ability is in effect.
- Battle and capture the Aniimo to complete the quest.
With the battle done, the golden variations of both Helmut and Rookey will become possible spawns across the area, so keep your eyes peeled.
