Anachronox Hints
Where can I get a size 5 helmet?
1 of 7: That's a pretty specific request he made.
2 of 7: Specific enough that other Nox Guards might be able to tell you where you could find one.
3 of 7: Ask most any Nox Guard that you see, and they should point you in the right direction.
4 of 7: The guard in the Platform Area apparently was issued a size 5 helmet.
5 of 7: Head to the platforms themselves and take the elevator all the way down to level 1. You'll find the Nox Guard there.
6 of 7: As long as you're fairly persistent and not too impolite, the guard will probably give you his helmet if you keep talking. Just about every dialogue path seems to work with enough talking.
7 of 7: If you say the wrong thing, or if you talk to him after he gave you his helmet, he'll fight you, and you'll have to get the helmet off his body. Fortunately, if it comes to that, the fight is just between you and this one guard -- you don't have to worry about other guards noticing you and fighting you too, or anything like that.
