How to Get Flawed Helldusk Gloves in BG3? Explained
To acquire the Flawed Helldusk Gloves, you must visit Dammon at the Last Light Inn during Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3 and you must have a piece of Infernal Iron to give him for crafting. Dammon was one of the many Tieflings seeking refuge in the Druid Grove, and he will only be available in Act 2 if you defeated the goblins and goblin leaders in Act 1. If you let the goblin leaders live, or if for any reason you provoked a fight with the Druids in the Grove then the Tieflings will die and Dammon with them.
If Dammon is alive you will find him at the Last Light Inn, which is located in the northern portion of the Shadow Cursed Lands. He’ll have set up a forge in the stables and you can speak and trade with him there. You’ll be able to take Karlach’s companion quest a step further here. Additionally, if you have extra pieces of Infernal Iron or Alloy then you will see dialogue options where you can offer them to Dammon.
Finding Infernal Iron
To have Dammon craft the Flawed Helldusk Gloves you must have collected at least two pieces of Infernal Iron. When you offer him the first piece he will craft the Flawed Helldusk Helmet. Also keep in mind that if you are looking to complete Karlach’s companion quest The Hellion’s Heart, then you will need to reserve two pieces of Infernal Iron in order to upgrade her heart. If you want to do that in addition to crafting the Helmet and Gloves you’ll need four total pieces of Infernal Iron.
Here is a list of all the locations you can find pieces of Infernal Iron in the first two Acts of Baldur’s Gate 3:
- Act 1 – Inside a chest in the basement of a house in Blighted Village
- Act 1 – Inside Dror Ragzlin’s Treasure Crates in the Shattered Sanctum
- Act 1 – Inside a trapped chest, in a locked room in the Zhentarim Basement
- Act 2 – In the Reithwin Mason’s Guild
- Act 2 – Inside an Opulent Chest in the vault room near Balthazar, Gauntlet of Shar
When you’re ready, offer your piece of Infernal Iron to Dammon and he will craft the Flawed Helldusk Gloves for you!
