Sirin's helm. *Spoilers*

[BSM]

So I just beat the game a few hours ago and it just hit me, "Whoa, I totally just killed one of the only people/entities that knows how to remove Sirin's helm and basically declared war on the other." Anyway, was there a way to remove it? Maybe if I followed the Scarlet Chorus campaign? I did the Rebellion.

nope, her helmet stays on in the chorus campaign

That's a bummer. Given how powerful she could be, I was hoping on having her another ace in the deck. That's really weird. It "feels" like that would be an option somewhere.

Same for that dude's armor, i thought in the end you can remove it, but you cant

[BSM]

Yeah, Barik? I was hoping there would be a quest for that too. He really got screwed over in my playthrough.

how so lol?

If you play on the anarchy path and don't recruit Barik, you'll find him in Tunon's Court, petitioning the Archon to have one of the Forge Bound remove the armor. If you take up his case, Tunon denies the request saying that removing his armor is not vital to the war effort. Oddly enough, if you recruit the Forge Bound on the rebel path he never asks for you to have them remove his armor.

He was recruited by me, got swept up into a rebellion that he wasn't interested in, killed many of his Disfavored comrades (who disgraced him moments before dying), was evicted from the Disfavored by Graven Ashe who basically called him a disgrace to the order, and then helped kill Graven Ashe. The sad bit is, he essentially becomes "broken" after that. After killing Ashe, he says one line after killing Tunon, but that's it. You and Verse can try and cheer him up a bit, but he never speaks again. It even goes into the post-game descriptions. He apparently just up and leaves, without a word, finds a crossroads somewhere, and essentially becomes a rusted statue because he refused to leave.

I hadn't even thought about that. It seems kind of weird that it is something that clearly bothers Barik, but, when you recruit the Forge-Bound, he doesn't offer so much as a peep about it, haha.

About Sirin's helmet I haven't had the chance to remove it but I certainly was able to remove Barik's armor by following the Disfavored path, after that when I was with the Earthshakers I took the anarchist path and killed them thus having to kill Graven Ashe freeing Barik from the protection of the armor then got him out of it and made him bath helped by Sirins power
