Helm Helpline needed!

dracostrike

Ok, I've just beat the game for the first time and I need some help trying to find some Helmets for my next run

The first Helm is the Helm of Glory and the second is the Helm of Opposite Alignment.

Any Help?

dracostrike

Btw I run BG1 with Tosc ^^

Other good helmets:
The Helm of Balduran is in a trapped painting upstairs at the Helm and Cloak inn
Helmet of Defense is on an Ogre Mage called Droth who appears after you speak to Shoal the Nereid on the coastal map just south of Candlekeep (IIRC).

Charm Immunity helms are nice. They are in Firewine, needs Blackguard poison weapon to kill the Ghost Knights, four helms and some other good loot.

@Shandyr Haha, indeed. I usually let my party thief do the honours as they're least necessary for the ensuing combat.

Hence the Imoen alternative lifestyle mod, this must have been a common choice.

For Helm!

I thought Helm Helpline was a Helm Temple call center.

Hello Helm Helpline how can I help you today?

It's Commander Brage.

Hello Commander Brage what's the weather like where you are?

I killed my whole family.

Oh, that's a shame. Sounds like someone's having a bad day.

I killed my whole family. I can't live with the guilt.

Then may I suggest making a donation at the Temple of Helm.

You don't understand. They are all dead. And I can't stop myself. I'm going to kill again.

Well in that case may I suggest you set up a standing order so you can make regular monthly payments without any hassle. That way you can kill as many people as you want with no loss of reputation ...

Rrrrraaaaarrrgh!!!!

Caller: Hello, is this the Helm helpline?

Ajantis Ilvastarr: Helm Yeah!

Caller: *click*

Ok, I like the sound of the Charm Helms But I can't get Blackguard Posion

Is there another way to acquire the Helms from them?

Ascerion

Lol, I'm not the only person that read the thread title like that I see. 1-800-FOR-HELM*?

*Ascerion assumes no responsibility if number is actually a phone sex line.

Take Dorn along. It takes a bit, but he can kill the ghosts alone. If you don't need all 4 helms, it's obviously faster, I'd just look up which ghost has which gear, so you get the stuff you want. If you have a archer heavy party, the second Dead Shot might help; and another ghost has Plate of Darkness. If it's just the helm you want, any ghost will do.

dracostrike

I can't pick Dorn because I only have ToSC, not EE.

KidCarnival

Well, then you're out of luck. But there are other nice helms, it's not such a loss.

Can't I use the dagger of vemon and cast Greater Malison?

You can get them in-game so that might work

dracostrike

I will get here then with the results then ^^

KidCarnival

If you are insanely patient, yeah. The thing is, the ghosts ONLY take damage from poison, not the regular attack. With a dagger, and dagger-using classes, you barely ever hit them. I tried assassin with poison weapon, Shar-Teel dualed with Dagger of Venom and Dorn/blackguard PC. Blackguard is the only one to reliably hit.

You can't lower the saving throws because the ghosts never turn hostile. (They also won't fight back.) They'll just stand there and let you kill them. Spells won't do a thing. All you can do is improve yourself/NPCs. I recommend Haste, Luck, Chant, Bless... basically, everything you can because as long as you try to kill the ghosts, all other members of your party will stand around and be useless, so can as well cast around. You'll have to rest as soon as the poison is over (if blackguard or assassin). With Dagger of Venom, you don't have to, but you might fall asleep from boredom.

dracostrike

If I get the Helms, Dead Bow and Plate of Dead through it, then it will be worth it

And doesn't Greater Malison affect everything within the area?

blackchimes

So what exactly do they drop? I've never heard of killing them before.

Was hoping this thread was going to be about a premium rate hotline set up by the Vigilant One himself.

dracostrike

"The Voice from the Heavens"-All are welcome to peace and healing....*sees Ajantis*...this is a pre-recorded message, for questions and queries please submit them to the Nine Hells. Beep.

I've heard they can be killed only through poison, hence will be trying to find posions which have no saves, since their death save is 1 (Hence Greater Malison too)

Also they drop a Dead Bow, The Full Plate Mail +1 and Those Charm Helms.

dracostrike

And I have read somewhere about pickpocketing the Bow, will test.
