Behind the scenes
The Korinthian Helmet, a helmet in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, has three different variants in the game. The first, plainest variant, is the same as a variant of the Spartan Soldier's Helmet, except its crest. The model is further shared by the Fortified Helm of the Fierce, a helmet in the DLC Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage. In the main game, multiple variants of this helmet are present, and others are based on its design, including the commonly found Mercenary Helmet, Hoplite Helmet and Spartan Polemarch Helmet. Its design is also shared with the Isu Myrmidon Helmet, but with Isu characteristics.
