Two matching evolution branches

Starting form	Result	Level	Materials	Additional requirements
Basic Helmut	Basic Pawney	45	3 Night Stones	Pull the Sword of Bravery in the Russet Highlands Warrior story.
Basic Helmut	Basic Rookey	45	3 Night Stones	Finish an opponent with that Helmut's defensive counter and learn Unwavering Rampart.

The Sword of Bravery belongs to the Russet Highlands Warrior story, which continues through The Legends of Helmuts and Helgons. Follow the quest to the eastern arena and remove the sword from its stone. The Beast Fang Ridge Warrior story is a separate quest.

For the Rookey branch, lower an aggressive wild opponent's HP with another party member if needed, then let the matching Helmut's Defense Mode retaliatory shockwave deliver the final hit. Learn Unwavering Rampart at Trailblazer I, reached through the level-55 promotion. The evolving Helmut itself needs level 45; this does not impose a solo-party requirement.
