The Veil of Steel is a unique Spired Helm in Diablo II. Veil of Steel gives a great boost to all resistances (the best out of all helms aside from Kira's Guardian) along with its high Defense. Similarly to its Diablo I incarnation, the Veil of Steel comes with the unusual disadvantage of reduced Light Radius. However, given the primarily well-lit areas of Diablo II, this is not much of a detriment, outside of the darkest dungeons.
