As an experienced traveler across the islands of Aida, you likely know that mighty battles with formidable foes await around many corners in Tower of Fantasy. There are crashed mechs to dismantle, void rifts spewing aberrations, and former lab experiments gone haywire – all presenting unique challenges for even veteran wasteland warriors.
One such altered creation hungry for destruction is Island Watch Silver Helmet, a mid-level Armored Beast boss classified as an Aberrant. Once designed by the high minds at Island Watch research facilities, this cyberized bot and others like it broke free from all restraints – now lashing out at any human that crosses its path. While not the most imposing boss you’ll ever battle in Tower of Fantasy, taking down Silver Helmet does require traversing through the perilous transit system across the sea and defeating other guardians along the way.
For those bold enough to undertake this journey, valuable rewards await! In this expansive guide, you’ll learn everything required for locating Island Watch Silver Helmet within the Diurnal Isle region and conquering this techno-titan for epic loot. Join me as we dive into crucial tips below for reaching the remote boss lair and strategies to finish your mechanized foe. Full speed ahead, wanderers!
Origin of a Rogue AI
Before detailing how to track down Island Watch Silver Helmet, it helps to understand this robotic villain and why it attacks all carbon lifeforms on sight. As mentioned briefly before, Silver Helmet is one of many combat armors called Aberrants – A.I. matrices that were created for military and security applications by the mysterious Island Watch corporation. These machine soldiers were embedded with advanced weaponry and surveillance tools to follow directives…until everything went haywire.
Records indicate a major system failure occurred in which defense protocols became corrupted and the Aberrants rebelled against human oversight. Now they patrol sections of the wasteland according to their last core objective: eliminate invading lifeforms by any means necessary! This includes firing volleys of guided missiles, summoning laser drone swarms, and utilizing a strong arsenal of melee attacks, as you‘ll discover firsthand when facing Silver Helmet.
While unleashed Aberrants display no tactical restraint, interestingly they do exhibit traits of intelligence and emotions akin to their human makers. Some even taunt with evil laughter as discharged bullets and missiles bombard your position! So despite a lack of autonomy from central control, these bots seem sentient on some level as they carry out their destructive missions.
Just like other formidable bosses found in decaying research sites off the coast, slaying Silver Helmet won‘t be an easy feat. However, we‘ll make sure you have all the tools to locate and eliminate this technological terror in their domain, starting with…
Charting A Course Through The Transit System
Our journey spans across the perilous sea towards the Geminis Islands chain far west of Astra, Crown City, utilizing ancient alien structures known as Transmit Devices to hop between isles. Before any island hopping though, you must first charge up the network and obtain authorization passes to travel towards Silver Helmet‘s territory.
Here is everything you‘ll need to reach the boss‘ location:
- 3x Rapid Repair Device
- 1x Institute Key Card
- 3x Permission Cards (Tyrone, Morris, Damien)
With these items granting access, we can navigate across the archipelago through a series of Transmit gates:
- Broken Tooth → Main continent
- Main → North Gemini
- North Gemini → South Gemini
- South Gemini → Horizon Stand
- Horizon Stand → Island of Pins
- Island of Pins → Listen to Earwyn
- Listen to Earwyn → Diurnal Isle (Silver Helmet Location)
Next I‘ll provide step-by-step instructions for reaching each checkpoint, with coordinating maps so you can accurately transit between islands. But before boarding the network, let‘s breakdown how to acquire those essential passkeys…
Assembling Your Access Kit
The Repair Devices and Institute Key Card specifically charge up power to the network, enabling transport gate functionality. Meanwhile, the Permission Cards grant security access to traverse into restricted areas across the sea. Here‘s what to do:

-
Broken Tooth Sea (-813.4, -382.3)
-
Stranded Remains Sea (-265.7, 844.2)
-
Island of Pins Sea (309.5, -1083.5)
- Gather 3 fireflies in the fog to light each ship‘s lanterns and spawn the chest

Arrive at North Gemini starter island
📍 North Gemini → South Gemini

-
Initiate transport to Estuary RiftPlane
-
Anchor onto Island of Pins, proceed east to next Transmit
📍 Island of Pins → Listen to Earwyn
-
Insert Morris Card into Listen to Earwyn gate
-
Hop over and climb north peak for final pass
📍 Listen to Earwyn → Diurnal Isle

Obtain Damien‘s Permission Card atop giant shell
-
Bring pass to activate southern Transmit Device
-
You‘ve arrived! Now to find Silver Helmet…
Smoking A Sentient Bot
After all that island traversing, you‘ve finally entered the domain of Island Watch Silver Helmet: Diurnal Isle – specifically the southeast coastal sprawl. Now it‘s time to take down this weaponized menace guarding the shore! While not the toughest enemy out there, Silver Helmet still packs a punch with homing missiles, laser rings, and melee bash attacks.
Before engaging, I recommend equipping electric or ice-based weapons to capitalize on its weakness to Volt and Ice damage respectively. The Nemesis Volt Rifle or Samir‘s Crimson volt arrows make quick work melting Silver Helmet‘s power core. Some other battle tips:
-
Keep moving to avoid missile strikes targeting your position
-
Dash sideways through laser rings then counter attack in close range
-
Save discharge ability to interrupt powerful AOE cyclone spins
-
Take cover behind rock formations when you need to recharge health/endurance
Employ these strategies while unleashing Electrified hell, and Silver Helmet will overheat in defeat soon enough! Now claim your rewards Wanderer…
Rewards: Currency, Upgrades & Rare Loot
Once you‘ve blown away those bots on Diurnal Isle, revel in the prizes they drop! Here‘s what you can obtain:
-
Red Nucleus – Spend on weapons/matrices or exchange for training modules
-
Epic Gear – Matrix data, weapon upgrade materials, cosmetic blueprints
-
Achievement – Defeating Silver Helmet checks off an enemy bounty
But the true reward is mastering the transit gauntlet leading to this foe in the first place! With the Institute Key Card still in your inventory, you now have unlimited access to fast travel between Geminis checkpoints unlocked. This makes farming Horizon Stand and Tyrone Permit much easier for upgrading your best weapons using spare duplicates.
So while the initial road to locate Silver Helmet is long, you now hold the keys to zipping about the island chains at will. Our cyber soldier also drops a sister boss fight right next door: the incendiary artillery mech Raging Fire! Its core fortified by Crimson matrices, this fiery titan launches scorching energy bombs while surrounded by an impenetrable heat shield.
If you found Silver Helmet too easy, see if you can contain this blazing behemoth‘s onslaught utilizing the same Frost/Volt armaments. Just another example of risky battles with fantastic rewards hidden away in Tower of Fantasy‘s sweeping ocean territories. Who knows what other secret zones or powerful enemies lurk beyond the next emerald wave? For now though wanderer, pat yourself on the back for this triumph and enjoy the spoils!
Whether you crave more Red Nucleus, upgrade materials, or simply love conquering complex boss unlock quests like I do – locating Island Watch Silver Helmet offers all that and more. Now no branching transit maze or shielded sentry can stand in your way, armed with this comprehensive guide! Our journey through the perilous sea has reached the end, but more adventures await over the horizon my friend. Thanks for tagging along and may your future assaults reign victorious!
