The Thieves' Hood is a unique piece of headgear that can only be equipped by thieves of all class combinations and kits. At first, it does not provide many useful effects to the wearer – except for protecting against critical hits in the original Baldur's Gate II only –, but if Cespenar improves this item with some components, it will become more useful.

Although this hood does not confer any noticeable advantages on its wearer, it does have an aura of latent magic.

— Originally

It can be obtained as reward of the quest The Blood War on the third level of Watcher's Keep. There you have to obtain the quest from the demon Tahazzar or the devil Ka'rashur and kill the other one, returning with his heart. There are several class and alignment limitations in having the option to gain that quest.

Cespenar[]

I... hey, what is this? A hood? You off to visits grandmother or what?[1]

Cespenar can improve the Thieves' Hood by combining it with the Sandthief's Ring. He will also need an antidote and 10,000gp to do this.

    In the original Baldur's Gate II, the Thieves' Hood protects against critical hits. This is disabled in the Enhanced Edition.
There is no honor among thieves. Perhaps that is why the Thieves' Hood has been imbued with magical properties to protect the wearer from their own ilk.

— Improved

  • The improved hood offers immunity to backstab and poison and can be used three times per rest to cast True Sight, of which the wearer then benefits for 1 turn.
