Stonegaze Bastion is a Nightmare Unique helm with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Nightmare, most often from N6 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 100, and there 0.3% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Stonegaze Helm — step 6 of the Stonegaze Helm line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +72 Armor, +327 Maximum Health, +99 Armor, +187 Armor, +418 Maximum Health and +55% Guard Power.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries Stonegaze Bastion — +50% Armor; +16% Maximum Health.
