[[File:Helmasaur-1.png|left]]Helmasaurs are first encountered within the [[Dark Palace]], the first dungeon in the [[Dark World]]. These creatures wear an armored green mask on their head, making them invulnerable to sword slashes. The rest of their body is a soft brown color and is susceptible to most weapons. Their only form of attack involves charging directly into [[Link]], which does a full heart of damage.

Link is able to defeat a Helmasaur with a single slash from his [[Master Sword]]. However, the attack must hit the enemy from the back or the side, as its armored mask prevents damage from the front. If Link has full power, he can shoot his [[Beam Blade]] attack right at the Helmasaur and can defeat him with two strikes, regardless of where he hits them from.

There are several alternative ways to defeat this creature. Link can sprinkle some [[Magic Powder]] on the Helmasaur, causing it to turn into [[Slime]], making it easy to defeat. After Link acquires the [[Magic Hammer]] from the Dark Palace, this can be used to defeat the enemy in one hit.

The boss of the [[Dark Palace]] is the [[Helmasaur King]], an oversize version of a Helmasaur. A more difficult variation of this boss is encountered within the [[Palace of the Four Sword]].
