The Steelwatcher Helmet
In Baldur’s Gate 3, The Steelwatcher Helmet enhances your ability to see in the dark up to 12 m. It also grains your character, a resistance to becoming blinded. The blinded is a status effect that prevents anyone standing inside of the affected area from casting spells or using ranged weapons.
The Steelwatcher Helmet is a rare-quality item with decent defensive and utility capabilities, but so late in the game, there are much better gear choices such as Helm of Balduran or Sarevok’s Horned Helmet. However, its unique design makes it a unique choice suitable for any class, companion, and character with medium armour proficiency. You can equip Steelwatcher Helmet to the headgear slot of your characters.
