How to Get Imperial Plumed Helmet and Jeweled Plumed Battle Crown?

Even though these are two different items we’re talking about here, we decided to put them in one guide as the conditions for getting them are quite similar. You can get the Jeweled Plumed Battle Crown and Imperial Plumed Helmet in one of the following ways:

• Tournaments (late game)
• Workshops (late game)
• Shops (late game)
• From your children
• Mods.
• Cheats.

Getting these items will only be possible in the late game (at least 4 or 5 years in). They can drop from tournaments, can be found in Workshops, or be bought in simple shops of large cities with high prosperity. All these options are rather rare, and you’ll have to keep your eyes open at all times to avoid missing them.

Your best chance to get Jeweled Plumed Battle Crown is to marry a highly-placed noble and wait for your children to come of age. As soon as you get your child spawns as a companion, they will have this helmet equipped, and you can just grab it from them.

If you don’t wish to wait, you can simply activate a mod called Royal Armoury that adds Royal Armories to each town. These armories will have endgame equipment for you to purchase from day one.

Alternatively, if you don’t wish to even pay for these beautiful helmets, you can turn on cheats and spawn these items for yourself.

How to Turn On Cheats in Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord?

To turn on cheats in Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord, all you have to do is type either Alt + ^ or Alt + ~ keys. It will bring up the developer console in which you need to enter ‘config.cheat_mode 1‘ to enable cheats.

Once you have enabled cheats, all you need to do is go back to the world map and open your inventory. On the left side, which is usually empty and serves as a discard window, you will now see plenty of equipment (I think it’s all items in the game, but I’m not sure). Scroll, and you will find both the Imperial Plumed Helmet and Jeweled Plumed Battle Crown.
