Solution Location

Solution Explanation

Reward

Quinn (locked house in the same block, but north of, the Helm and Cloak)

Return something of Nester's to Quinn

Nester has been eaten by an ankheg that lives north of the water witch's house in sector 35 (bridge to Baldur's Gate)

As soon as you go north of the water witch's house, the ankheg will attack your party. Kill it and grab Nester's dagger from the corpse of the body

950 xp, plus one reputation point and a shandon gem

Pheirkas (house just west of Entar Silvershield's estate)

Steal a cloak off of Algernon

Algernon is staying at the Feldepost Inn in Beregost

Algernon's on the upper floor of the Inn. A thief with a high pickpocket skill is a must for this quest, so take potions of perception or master thieving to improve your skills for the task if necessary

300 xp and 200 gold

Degrodel (large house in western portion of this sector)

Retrieve the Helm of Balduran

The Helm and Cloak tavern (upstairs through the back staircase)

Degrodel will give you this quest after you defeat his dangerous guardians. Take his stone to flesh scrolls and go to the middle sector of Baldur's Gate, and enter the mansion to the west of the market. Thaw out the middle statue, who will give you a scroll, cryptically informing you that the helm is at the Helm and Cloak (you can skip the statue step and go straight to the Helm and Cloak). The helm is up the set of stairs past the bar, in a secret compartment in the north wall, guarded by a fireball trap

Returning the helm will earn you 5,000 gold, but you'll have to fight a few more guardians of Degrodel. The helm is worth keeping instead

Louise and Laerla (twin girls in the building in the middle of this sector)

Stop the bogeyman

Same building

After you talk to the twins, you'll be able to talk to both Gervisse and Voltine, who will each blame the other for stalking the twins. Casting detect evil, you'll realize that Gervisse is evil, and attacking and killing him will make the twins happy

1,000 xp and a protection from evil scroll from Laerla, and a wand of polymorphing from Voltine

Next: North, Middle Sector of Baldur's GateNEXT
