BG3 Hide Helmets: A Comprehensive Guide by Matt Vatankhah

There is nothing more disheartening than spending hours meticulously designing a stunning protagonist in a character creator, only to have their gorgeous locks concealed by an unsightly leather cap. It is utterly unacceptable. In fact, it feels like an act of betrayal. Thankfully, Baldur’s Gate 3 boasts an unparalleled character-creation system, and the thought of a helmet obscuring my half-orc’s magnificent visage is simply unthinkable. Here’s how you can effortlessly conceal your helm or headwear in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Within the character inventory screen, you can easily hide your helmet by simply hovering over it and clicking the discreet eye icon or by pressing the Y / Triangle button on your controller. This grants you the freedom to choose whether you want your helmet to be visible, hidden during cutscenes, or concealed at all times.

In the immersive world of Baldur’s Gate 3, managing your party’s equipment is crucial. To access the equipment menu, simply press the Tab key. Alternatively, press the I key to view the inventory of a selected character. Within these menus, you’ll notice an eyeball icon which allows you to toggle the visibility options for your helmet. There are three choices available:

• Show Helmet – This option displays your helmet consistently, even during cutscenes.
• Hide during dialogues – With this option, your helmet is visible only outside of cutscenes.
• Hide Helmet – Choose this option to keep your helmet hidden at all times.

It’s important to note that these visibility settings apply to all party members, not just the main protagonist. You have the freedom to customize which members wear their helmets and which do not. Even if a character’s helmet is hidden, they will still benefit from the protective properties and attribute bonuses provided by the equipped gear.

By following these steps, you can easily hide your helmet in Baldur’s Gate 3. This game is filled with challenging decisions, such as the choice of saving Arabella or not. For more helpful guides on Baldur’s Gate 3, be sure to explore the content here at Prima Games.
