Unfortunately it is.
Helheim for most players is old news anyway.
Beowolfs equipment is useful if it is found early enough,otherwise it may not be of much help.
I have no idea what bonuses the headband has, but do know the boots proved useful mostly until a higher level could be forged.
You may have already passed the usefulnesss of his headband, which as has been stated elsewhere, in this thread I think, is not necessary to finish the last node on the last floor.
Luck on what is found in the rooms seems to be important, but I suspect there may be some other reasons.
Most swear by 'if you dodge, and so don't get hit, you have a better chance, and seem to have switched to the female champion, as she has less life, but is this really necessary?
Nothing else doing, so decided to go to Helheim.
Floor 10, node 4 ,still only 2 stars, ran into a chest second room.5 boxes, last one Beowulf's Headband, ( on checking, doesn't seem there's much improvement on Ghostly Veil) so will see if it helps any now.
Weirdly, cleared 20 rooms finishing with 1 health after several rounds against a very strong opponent at this mark.
Wearable at champion 35,so finding earlier should be more beneficial.
Edit
Just did only 19 rooms wearing the headband.
Not surprising in some respects, but It occurred to me recently that no one complained about how many runs it took to get the last node on the later floors, and so wondered how comparable they might be.
Since my previous post, when I was stuck on node 4, I progressed fairly quickly through nodes 4, 5 and 6.Just a few runs.
Though I had already got the one star from only a few visits to node 7, I then hit champion 47, and started the campaign for the last hurdle,the second star also dropped quickly and so was optimistic, especially when the gloom were not so highly ranked, but then some runs gave lots of blue,.
My current last run was number15,and after a poor start of 3 blue gloom,it then looked very promising with 2 empty rooms behind me, a green gloom and then another 4 empty rooms in succession, followed by 1 gloom, a chest then another empty room,unfortunately downhill after that. Mama had to be in the last unentered room.
Based on observation I have several theories.
The unofficial helpline has a comment about contacting the postee for the definitive way to get the last node done.
The trouble is this site is full of suggestions that many blindly follow as gospel,and come unstuck.
Similarly here too ,and in this dilemma ,with the need to get Beowulf gear,and specific reference to a particular set,which may not necessarily be the best.
For a number of reasons, I haven't even switched to the female champion, as is recommended.
I haven't given up, it is still eaarly days for me, and though they may be useful to most,not finding the bonus boosts is not so important for me.
What's your opinion on Soulbane,right hand weapon for Champion level 48.

"What's your opinion on Soulbane,right hand weapon for Champion level 48"
For me i found it was worth it,however this wont apply to everyone as 5m runic coins are likely to be better spent elsewhere for other players depending on what you do in the game.
I had been stuck on the last 2 nodes of floor 10 for a long long time never getting any better than finishing node 6 or 7 with 25% health left no matter what combinations of settings i used,as soon as i brought soulbane i completed both nodes with 3 stars on my first try
Sorry - I have been busy with cvc. I do not know anything about the Soul bane sorry (I have never had 5ml runic coins to spend - looks like it was worth it tho ). I went with the recommended Spellbound Flail which seems to have worked for many other people. I and my alt both have 2 stars node 7 and my alt has only just reached lv 49.
What I write here is often for general rather than specific consumption.
No need to apologise, I wasn't biting my nails waiting for an answer.
I know myself how dealing with the forum, or other players is distracting, and takes time way from the game which could be critical.
Obviously some one thought 'The season store offer' for Soulbane was worth it.
I had compared its merits with the flail and pondered, for a one purpose use item, with no stated guarantees of outcome,it seemed quite extravagant, but maybe not if you have an abundance of coin.
I would think most of those who might afford it, no longer need it as they have long finished floor 10 node 7.
I think I have some appreciation of the frustration now.
Mixed feelings here.I am not going to benefit much myself, but completing it gets it out the way, but then what else do I do once the goal is no longer there?
Just completed floor 10 node 7, a bit of an anticlimax really as there is no fanfare, no specialty pop up , only the basic you have finished the floor with three stars etc.
It was my 67th run, without the usually suggested set up,only ever using Unnar, so to me at least, it shows it is possible, I hadn't even used all my skill points.
Hi Arnie
Thanks for the info, but is there any chance you could name the equipment for those of us still working our way up? Thanks.
Ps Judging by the fact it's glowing is that Beowulf's headband? If so how do you get any of the Beowulf gear? I have 3 accounts on floor 10 none of which have received any of the Beowulf gear.
The plot thickens - I reset the alt as suggested and with one go left, ie 10th before being locked out, completed the floor ie 2 stars ... so progress.
My main however, although it has been lv 50 for longer, has 85 less points to spend, ie can't reach 3,000 on Intuition. Even wierder, although it has 26 on Vitality as suggested, the vitality is 57,360 and not 58,459. ????
My alt on its run met 7 oponents and the Boss. My main on each attempt ran into more than 10 oponents and never completed a floor.
Arnie's post was an additional prompt.
I believe it's not important, ,so don't worry about not being able to repeat 2 stars,
Though on several occasions it looked like I was going to succeed and get 3 stars, there were times I also failed miserably at repeating 2.
After Arnie's addition, I went back to check and read through the whole thread, doing so might prove beneficial to others.
Most , but not all, are recommending Viva, and apart from not adding anything to Health except through armoury. nothing else is consistant, suggesting there is no ideal set up.Unless there really is, and it's a secret !
I kept note of all runs and gloom type, and from run 34, how much health was lost in each room.
Though I started with a different set up, and changed it for some of the attempts, I dropped the use of several items of Beowulf gear, but never got round to returning to Ghostly Veil.
Here's what my champion finished with.
Not got round to repeats or trying Viva.
Beowulf Gear.
I could be wrong,may have since updated,but I believe at one time it was with the rewards for 1 star.
I got the headband in a room chest, but unless you drop lucky (I did the boots) chances are you already have something at least as good, if not better.
Quoting myself.
Floor 10, node 4 ,still only 2 stars, ran into a chest second room.5 boxes, last one Beowulf's Headband, ( on checking, doesn't seem there's much improvement on Ghostly Veil) so will see if it helps any now.
Weirdly, cleared 20 rooms finishing with 1 health after several rounds against a very strong opponent at this mark.
Just did only 19 rooms wearing the headband.
