If you want to play Elden Ring while seeing your character’s face, the only way is to remove the helm. There is a clear difference between hiding the helm and removing it. Hiding only removes it in the menu section, but if you want to remove it from the game, you must unequip it.
Doing this will let you see your character but at the cost of lowering the defense, as helmets and other headgear protect against enemy attacks. However, if you still want to remove it, this guide discusses a few methods to help you reveal your character’s face by hiding the helm in the Elden Ring.
1. Use the Status Menu
Open your game menu and go to the Status tab. Once the screen opens, Press Y to open the swap screen menu. Here, you need to press the following buttons to hide the helm:
- X on Xbox
- Square on PlayStation
- Right-click + Select the Hide option on the PC
However, this method only removes your character’s helmet on the status menu instead of fully removing it during the gameplay.
2. Unequip the helmet
To unequip the helmer, open the Elden Ring menu and head to the Equipment tab. Once the menu opens, choose your helmet and remove it from there. But note that this is not recommended it makes your character defenseless and vulnerable against high-level boss attacks.
3. Use the Hidden Helmet mod in Elden Ring
Another method is the Hidden Helmets mod. This mod allows players to hide their helmets while maintaining all their stats.
Note that this is a third-party mod, meaning that FromSoftware does not verify it. Using this mod carries a risk of having your account banned. However, thousands of players have been using it for over the past year without issues.
