Hallowed Headgear
Armor · ArmorHead0★[Tides of Terraria] A helmet worked from Hallowed Bar. The divine power running through it raises the damage Nightglow deals.
Hallowed Headgear is 42nd of 202 head pieces by defense, at 140 against the 650 of Ancient Helm.
Wearing it also carries the effect Hallowed Power: Magic, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 13 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby.

Where to Find Hallowed Headgear
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure chests in the Yakushima at 7.1% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Hallowed Headgear
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 140 to 182, a 1.3x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Hallowed Headgear grants Hallowed Power: Magic: Damage Up If Equipped Yakushima Magic Weapon +20.
Schematics That Unlock Hallowed Headgear
Hallowed Headgear is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The top-tier Hallowed Headgear schematic is worth hunting directly — treasure chests in the Yakushima is its best source, at roughly 14 containers a copy. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.

Alternatives and Upgrades
Refined Metal Helm matches it exactly at 140 defense — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw defense, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Pal Metal Helm at 150; below it is Hallowed Helmet at 140.
