The Head of Helios was an item that Kratos used to light his path, or dazed his enemies. It was acquired by taking, and therefore actually was, the head of Helios.
God of War III
The Head of Helios was the fourth item obtained in God of War III. It was acquired by Kratos mercilessly decapitating the Sun God, after he damaged Helios' Chariot (which left him severely wounded) and killed all of the Olympus Guardians that showed up to protect him. The Head emitted a beam that illuminated dark areas and functioned as a lantern of sorts. The beam also revealed hidden objects, such as doors or chests. Such secrets were often given away by the presence of golden particles that floated around them.
When the Head of Helios shined on enemies, it temporarily blinded them and did slight damage. Kratos could also charge the Head in order to release a powerful burst of light that stunned and damaged all enemies in the vicinity. That blast also illuminated the enemies themselves, which eliminated the need to use the Head itself until all affected foes were defeated. It was also used to remove the invisibility of Siren Seductress and was integral to Kratos' defeat of Cronos. As with the rest of Kratos' Equipment, the Head of Helios was discarded after Zeus' Astral Form attacked Kratos in the ruins of Mount Olympus.
The Head of Helios could be leveled up once for an increase in damage and a decrease in charge time.
