Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Get Helldusk Boots

Baldur’s Gate 3 has all kinds of tools for you to play your way. If you’re looking for a good heavy armor set, you can’t do much better than the Helldusk Armor set. This rare heavy armor is one of the best in the game and can only be found in Act 3. This set is even better than the Flawed Helldusk Armor you can ask Dammon to forge in Act 2.

The Helldusk Boots are one of the most useful pieces of this armor set, as they grant the wearer the Steadfast and Hellcrawler abilities. Steadfast makes the character immune to being moved by enemy spells or actions along with ignoring the effects of Difficult Terrain. The Hellcrawler abilty allows the wearer to teleport during battle and cause an explosion where they land. The Helldusk Boots can only be found in one area, and you may have to fight for them.

Return to Wyrm’s Rock Fortress

Wyrm’s Rock Fortress is where you cross from Rivington into the city of Baldur’s Gate. The entrance to the upper fortress is the Audience Hall on the eastern side, where you first see Gortash coronated.

The first floor will be filled with angry guards and Steel Watchers. Destroying the Steel Watcher foundry beforehand will wipe out the hulking automaton guards. There are also mounted turrets on the walls that shoot fire if you get too close, along with grenade launchers. Swiftly pick up these grenades if they land nearby and throw them back at enemies. When you’ve defeated every one on this floor, you must use the passageway in the northwest corner. There will be a blacked out square on the map indicating its location.

Defeat Gortash

Walk around the roof carefully avoiding the many traps to enter Gortash’s quarters at the top of the fortress. Bring Karlach along to finish off her questline. This fight can be easy if you quickly beat Gortash before he transforms with the aid of Bane. His second form is more powerful with crushing attacks and more enemies spawning.

Helldusk Boots Location

Speak with Karlach after he is dead. You can then loot his body for his Tyrant clothing, a unique crossbow, and a key.

Use this key on the Gilded Chest in the corner of the room at coordinates (X:-32, Y:219.) The Helldusk Boots and a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen can be found in this chest.
