Helm of Balduran

The Helm of Balduran is one of the most sought after pieces of Headger in the game.

It can be found in the Helm and Cloank Inn in North West Baldurs Gate.

This extract is from Dan Simpson's brilliant guide;


 * In Degrodel's House in the southern part of this area you will have to fight a lot of really tough monsters. Battle Horrors, Invisible Stalkers, and Doom Guards.  Once past those, talk to Degrodel and he'll offer you a job, take the job and he'll explain that 6 people were turned to stone by Ragefast, and then sold to an art dealer.  One of those people had the Helm of Balduran on him, and Degrodel wants you to retrieve it.  To accomplish this he gives you 6 scrolls of Stone to Flesh.  Go to the Central Section, and into the house of Felonius Gist. You'll see the statues in the north end of the room.  Free the statue in the corner and demand the Helm of Balduran from him.  He'll say that he doesn't have it, press further and he will give you a Scroll with a clue on it.  In case you haven't guessed it we're going to the Helm and Cloak Inn in the NW Section. Go inside, and then go up the stairs in the back of the inn.  Find the painting in this room and search it to find the Helm.  Careful 'tis trapped!  If you give it to Degrodel he'll give you 5000 gp, but then have 3 monsters attack you and leave with the Helm.  It's much more worth it to keep the Helm.  What I did was I gave him the Helm, then killed him and took the Helm back.
