Baldur's Gate 3 provides a vast RPG experience with a plethora of items waiting to be unearthed. Crafting in the game has its limitations, but certain materials like Enriched Infernal Iron can be crafted into armor and potions. As your party of parasite-infested adventurers reaches the grand city of Baldur's Gate in Act 3, the sprawling urban landscape presents ample opportunities for exploration. Delve into the alleys and streets meticulously to ensure you don't overlook anything, including the elusive Enriched Infernal Iron.

Unraveling Infernal Iron & Infernal Alloy

Infernal Iron and Infernal Alloy stand as the initial infernal materials you'll encounter. Obtaining Infernal Alloy involves interacting with Stonemaster Kith in Grymforge during Act 1. You can negotiate through three speech checks, make a purchase, or opt for a more drastic approach by eliminating him to claim the materials. Infernal Iron, the fundamental form of this material, can be found as early as Act 1 in various locations, emphasizing its importance.

Progressing to Act 2, you'll encounter the blacksmith Dammon at the Last Light Inn. With Karlach by your side, Dammon offers to repair her Infernal Engine, necessitating two pieces of Infernal Iron. In case you possess surplus iron or lack Karlach's presence, you can exchange the material for armor. Each segment of Infernal Iron contributes to crafting a part of the Flawed Helldusk Armor set, renowned for its potency early in Act 2. Subsequently, its value diminishes as you acquire the authentic Helldusk set. If you possess Infernal Alloy, Dammon can simultaneously fashion the Gloves, Helmet, and Chest piece.

Mastery of Enriched Infernal Iron

Enriched Infernal Iron, a specialized variant of this material, exclusively surfaces in Act 3. This valuable resource can be salvaged from destroyed Steel Watchers, colossal automatons stationed by Lord Gortash to maintain his oppressive regime.

Engaging Steel Watchers in the Lower City streets poses significant risks. It's advisable to resolve the quest targeting the Steel Watcher foundry, resulting in the deactivation of all watchers, rendering them vulnerable for looting Enriched and standard Infernal Iron.

Regrettably, no current utility exists for Enriched Infernal Iron in enhancing armor or aiding Karlach. However, you can lucratively trade it at Baldur's Gate shops, especially leveraging high Persuasion characters for better deals. Consider selling all surplus infernal materials, including Enriched Iron, to Dammon in Act 3 to accumulate funds for his premium armor offerings.
