While frowned upon by the guards of the establishment, The Counting House has no shortage of places to break into. However, there are nine vaults that contain particularly valuable goods with keys scattered across the city of Baldur's Gate–namely, the pockets of some particularly important characters.

The High Security Vaults are the vaults in the deepest part of the counting house, where you'll find Rakath Glitterbeard. Even getting to the Counting House's most secure vaults is a struggle. You'll need to procure yourself a bank pass, enter a secret code, and last but not least, kill some of Bhaal's cultists.

While even getting this far has enough obstacles of its own, you've still got a lot of work to do before you can open the High Security Vaults. Unless you can pass each vault's lock picking DC of 30, you'll need the keys to reap their rewards.

If you're looking for a hint on where to begin looking for these keys, you can find each vault's owner in the book Counting House Family Vault List inside the Counting House. This book is on the first level of the counting house in plain view, on a table before the staircase to the right. It informs you that the key will be with the head of each particular household:

High Security Vault Key 1

While this key is said to belong to the Lorroakan household, you can find this key onCaptain Grisly at the Blushing Mermaid. She'll be upstairs in the room to the right of the stairs, at about X: -116, Y: 88. You can simply pickpocket this key off of Captain Grisly.

High Security Vault Key 2

This key can be found on Lady Jannath at Lady Jannath's Estate. She's already connected to the Save the Artist quest, but you don't have to finish it to obtain the key, although you may want to prepare for a bit of a fight to get to her. You can find her in her bedroom on the third floor of her home, about X: 251, Y: -45.

High Security Vault Key 3

While getting to Cazador's Dungeon is no easy feat, you'll have to make your way there (not to mention that you'll also have to defeat Cazador himself) if you want his vault key. The key will be inside his sarcophagus, at roughly X: -1926, Y: 946.

High Security Vault Key 4

To find this vault key, you need to make your way to the Water Queen's House. A guard will try to keep you out, but you'll need to get into the room upstairs.

It will require a very sneaky character orinvisibility, either through a potion or spell, but you need to make your way into the private quarters and loot the Opulent Chest inside. The door to this room is at X: -220, Y: -251.

High Security Vault Key 5

Despite being listed as the Ravengard family's key, vault key five is instead, predictably, with Lord Enver Gortash. After defeating Gortash, you can explore the uppermost level of Wyrm's Rock Fortress with ease. As you do, you'll discover a safe hidden behind a painting at about X: -34, Y: 202.

You can open the safe withGortash's Key, looted from his body. Inside the safe, you'll find vault key five.

High Security Vault Key 6

The key actually associated with Gortash's family name is in a bit more daunting location—the Iron Throne.

You'll be in quite the rush with limited turns, so a Potion of Speed, a Haste spell, or any other way to boost movement speed and grant yourself additional actions will come in handy. It will be in an Opulent Chest at about X: -50, Y: 98.

High Security Vault Key 7

You'll have to pickpocket this key off a master criminal herself, or kill her, depending on which route you decide. Either way, you can find this key (and a lot of knives) on Nine-Fingers Keene in the Guildhall under the city. She'll be at her desk in her office at about X: -37, Y: 775.

High Security Vault Key 8

This vault key is likely one of the most challenging to acquire, as it means you'll have to undergo a tough boss fight to get to it. You need to find your way to the House of Grief, where Shadowheart's companion quest leads you. Eventually, you'll need to either betray Shadowheart or defeat Viconia DeVir, the Mother Superior.

Once you defeat her, which is no small task, you can loot Viconia's Personal Chest Key from her corpse.

Just off of the main chamber where the fight ensued in Shar's cloister is the Dormitory. At the back of this room you'll find a jewelry box, which Viconia's key will open. You can find the jewelry box at X: -399, Y: -1591.

High Security Vault Key 9

To get your hands on the final key, you'll need to complete the quest Return Rakath's Gold—or, you can just pickpocket him for the key. Either way, you'll obtain vault key nine and gain access to one of the best rewards these vaults have to offer.

High Security Vault Rewards

Nearly all of these vaults include gold or some treasure to sell, but their most valuable loot is the enchanted weapons and armor they contain. Additionally, with characters such as Duke Ravengard, you can find personal effects that will tell you more about the characters connected to these vaults.

Each vault has the following enchanted loot:
