| |
| The '''Ascetic harness''' is an [[Sangheili harness|armor set]] used by the [[Sangheili]] [[Ascetics]]. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | The '''Ascetic Harness''' is a type of [[Elite]] body Harness. It is for decorative purposes. |
| ===Design details===
| |
| 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 [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]]'s blades. The helmet also comes with a white, flexible neck piece. 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. | | ==Introduction== |
| | The '''Ascetic Harness''' is one of many [[Armor Permutations]] employed by [[Sangheili]] warriors in battle. Like all Sangheili Combat Harnesses, it is similar in form and function to the [[UNSC]] [[MJOLNIR]] Armor, and features a dynamic recharging [[Energy Shield]]. |
|
| |
|
| ===Usage=== | | ==Development and History== |
| The Ascetic harness is utilized exclusively by the Sangheili [[Ascetics]].{{Ref/Game|Id=h3description|H3|In-game description}} By [[2558]], at least one of [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s personal guard in the [[Battle of Ealen IV]] employed the Ascetic harness.{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=1}} A (presumably-scavenged or stolen) Ascetic chest and shoulder rig was later worn by [[Zef 'Trahl]].{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=5}}
| | In-game descriptions indicate that Ascetic armor is often worn by troops during internal crises as its intimidating design assists in keeping order. In ''[[Halo 3]]'' players using the Elite model can wear this [[Armor Permutation]] in [[Multiplayer]]. [[Bungie]] has confirmed that all Armor Permutations have absolutely '''no''' effect on gameplay. |

|
| == In-game information == | | ==Characteristics== |
| ===''Halo 3''=== | | ===Helmet Characteristics=== |
| The Ascetic harness is unlockable as an [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] for Elite characters in ''[[Halo 3]]''. 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. | | The helmet appears completely sealed. Two yellowish-orange bulbs mark the location of the wearer's eyes; it is unknown if these are truly transparent to the wearer or if vision is achieved through some other apparatus (such as a neural feed). 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 stealth [[Brute]] headpieces.These tusks also look strikingly similar to a [[Brute Spiker]]'s blades. It appears to be the Covenant's equivalent to the MJOLNIR [[Rogue]] armor permutation. Judging by the description offered in-game, the helmet-mounted blades are likely meant to further augment the wearer's already frightening appearance. This is the single rarest Elite helmet as the [[Steppin' Razor]] achievement is quite difficult to get. It is also one of the rarest helmets on either side in the game. |

| ===''Killer Instinct''=== | | ===Thoracic Cage Characteristics=== |
| {{Expand-section}}
| | 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. |
| The Ascetic harness is one of several alternate appearances available for the [[Arbiter (Killer Instinct)|Arbiter]] character in [[Wikipedia:Killer Instinct (2013 video game)|''Killer Instinct'']]. The Ascetic armor comes in several colours.
| | |
| | ==Unlock== |
| | *'''Head''': Unlock the [[Steppin' Razor]] achievement. |
| | |
| | *'''Shoulders''': Unlock the [[Overkill]] achievement. |
| | |
| | *'''Body''': Unlock the [[Up Close and Personal]] achievement. |
| | |
| | ==Trivia== |
| | * The fins are somewhat akin those on the helmet of Star War's General Grievous. |
| | * The body is the easiest part of the harness to unlock as many players use melee attacks during games getting the [[Up Close and Personal]] achievement. |
| | * Despite the helmet having a larger surface area than other [[Elite]] head pieces, it still has the same hitbox. However, it is easier to spot because the spikes at the bottom will reflect light, making the user's position obvious to the wary player. |
