The Ascetic helmet appears completely sealed. Two yellowish-orange bulbs mark the location of the wearer's eyes. If you look closely enough you can see slight bulges where the jaws are. Along the jaw-line and for about fifteen centimeters (six inches) beyond, extend two silvery tusk-like protrusions similar in design to those found on [[Jiralhanae Stalker]] headpieces. These tusks also look strikingly similar to a [[ | The Ascetic helmet appears completely sealed. Two yellowish-orange bulbs mark the location of the wearer's eyes.

The shoulder pauldron is made up of a quarter-circle shape with two blue lights in them and a number of indentations. | ||
The Ascetic harness' thoracic cage is similar to the standard [[combat harness]]. The only noticeable difference is a protrusion, shaped like the English letter "I", filling what would otherwise be a gap between the right and left breastplate. This chest plate is connected to the waist armor of the Elite. The combat advantages of this is unknown, but as an ergonomic feature it would seem to be designed to better the posture of the Elite, making them stand straighter and taller than other Elite counterparts. | The Ascetic harness' thoracic cage is similar to the standard [[Sangheili combat harness|combat harness]].

*Even though the Ascetic Helmet comes out farther than any other Elite helmet, it still has the same hitbox as any other Elite helmet in ''Halo 3'', meaning the tusks have no effect relating to gunfire. However, they stand the risk of giving your position away to keen-eyed enemy snipers if they accidentally protrude from behind a corner. | |||
