Helm's Hold

Confront treachery in Neva's Helm's Hold: capture Desther, make a critical choice with Chaohinon of the Void, and earn unique rewards.

XP Tip!

Enter via the main entrance. By the gate to get into the hold, you can find a corpse. The corpse has a gem which you can put into the altar inside the Hold. Placing this gem will provide you the help of the 4 constructs floating in the room. You will also get some XP for this.

Quest: Sins of a Traitor

Who/Where: Dumal, Helm's Hold.

XP: 0

Gold: 0

Other: None

What: Upon speaking with Dumal in the prison section of Helm's Hold, you will learn that the Hold has been infiltrated by spies. Your mission is to make your way through the main temple. After ascending a couple flights of steps, you will encounter Desther and several 'rotting friends'. Desther will surrender relatively early in the confrontation. Engage him in dialogue to take him back to Neverwinter, which concludes this quest and transitions you into Chapter 2. This quest is a direct continuation of the events from the Ritual Chamber, revealing the treachery that has unfolded.

Quest: A Devil's Deal

Who/Where: Chaohinon of the Void, Helm's Hold.

XP: 750

Gold: 0

Other: (Paladin and Monk) Amulet of Wisdom +1

What: Chaohinon of the Void will present you with a proposition: complete the Helmites' ritual to set him free. To proceed, you must first locate the Black Grimoire. Once found, you can activate the altar and decide whether to complete the ritual, thereby releasing the demon, or to banish him. If you choose to banish the demon, you will immediately receive 375 XP. Later, you can find a Book of Helm. Take this book to the altar to reinstate the Guardian of Helm. Upon doing so, you can ask for insight into future events (allowing you to ask questions about the future), receive an Elven Court Bow, a Ring of Elemental Resistance (15/- to all resists), or be temporarily enchanted with incredible (and very temporary) stat boosters. Regardless of your choice, you will earn an additional 375 XP. Paladins and Monks receive an extra reward: an Amulet of Wisdom +1. This quest offers significant choices with varying rewards and implications for the future of Helm's Hold.
