Wielded by Balduran, the founder of Baldur’s Gate and friend to his guardian dragon, a great glittering wyrm called Ansur. Fellowship can be undone, though, as easily as you or I might unlace the strings of our shoes, and it was in a time of skullduggery and hardship that Balduran killed Ansur, carrying out the deed with this sword.

Balduran’s Giantslayer is looted from the corpse of Ansur in the The Dragon’s Sanctum (X: 633 Y: -989) during Act 3. To reach The Dragon’s Sanctum you will need to go into the Wrym’s Rock Prison and deal Lightning damage to the two dragon-looking scones. This opens an secret entrance to the Wyrmway Trials. Completing the four Wyrmway Trials will open the way to The Dragon’s Sanctum where you will need to fight and defeat Ansur.
