Finish the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman is a quest intended for Evil-aligned versions of Gorion's Ward in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and its corresponding segment in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
Acquisition[]
This quest is acquired by completing the unmarked quest Find Rejiek's ally, which is hinted at in the Tanner's Letter. To complete this unmarked quest, go to Imnesvale in the Umar Hills and speak to Fael outside of the Imnesvale Inn. Purchase a copy of History of the Zhentarim from him and tell him that his true name is Darcin Cole. He informs you that he can complete the Human Flesh armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman, but he needs the Blood of a Silver Dragon to do his work.
Resolution[]
During Chapter 5, you will need to kill Adalon to acquire the blood, as she is the only Silver Dragon to appear in the entirety of the Baldur's Gate series. Killing her is extremely difficult, but grants 54,000 EXP, 3,000 Gold Pieces, Adalon's Note and Blood of a Silver Dragon.
Once you leave the Underdark by beginning Chapter 6, speak to Fael and give him the blood.
Fael will inform you that it will take four days for him to finish his work. However, when you come to collect the armor, after handing it over, Fael will reveal that he has discovered that you are not his contact; he will summon three powerful mages and then flee, leaving you to fight his allies. One of the mages is worth 6,000 EXP, one is worth 7,000 EXP, and the last is worth 7,200 EXP. They drop random treasure when dispatched.
Notes[]
- This quest can be begun as early as chapter 2 but cannot be completed until chapter 6.
- Despite the Human Flesh Armor only being usable by evil aligned characters, this quest can be begun by Gorion's Wards of any alignment.
- This questline is one of several referring to the cut content relating to the Twisted Rune, a cabal of powerful, evil mages and magical monsters who can be battled in Athkatla; originally, they were intended to have their own overarching storyline, but it was cut before the game was fully developed, leaving trace hints and a single seemingly random boss battle.

Adalon's Blood mod is available to bargain with the Silver Dragon to get some of her blood. This blood can be used to resolve the Finish the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman quest. Instead of trying to slay her for the blood, you can convince her to give you some of her own Silver Dragon's Blood voluntarily - if you do a task for her. Perhaps you are leaning toward the good side - her Blood may be used to purify and undo the evil taint on the Human Flesh Armor. This Mod gives you options to resolve the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman in a different way, and a path that is not evil in nature. It also provides more experience points than doing it the 'evil way'. There is also another option added to allow a party to hand over the human flesh armor to a temple, to purge its evil taint from the land - with a suitable reward.
