Can't find Helm

[76561198183875966]

In my party I have my player, Lae'zel & US (mind flayer) who say we need to find the Helm. But we can't find the helm. I have gone through the tunnel to the first circle area & enter the second circle area. Can NOT find the helm or any living enemies to fight. What am I doing wrong? Please Help me!

I suggest looking up a youtube tutorial for the mindflayer ship section since it's hard to tell exactly where you are or what you've missed, but it's a mostly linear path with only one dead end. It sounds like you have just finished killing the imps after fighting Lae'Zel, which means you need to go past where the imps were and climb up and go into the next tunnel which leads to the room with Shadowheart and the people on operating tables. If you've been there and are done with that part, there are two rooms connected to that room and one of those is the path forward (to the helm).

If you have Lae'zel and just fought the Imps, go to the other side from where your character entered and climb up the gooey stuff. (It doesn't do a good job of pointing out that's climbable. The tutorial messages are easily missed, especially since they can appear during combat and disappear before even noticing them.)

Will have to search him in his domain, probably. I can’t see Helm as a passenger of the illithid ship at all.

ok, this is the helm, or the controls, of the ship. It is not a helmet nor the deity in these worlds named Helm.
its is on the other side of the big fight and looks like a bunch of snakes nailed to a wall.

the big fight will require climbing up the wall after the imps, that can be hard to see the first time.

pro tips: change shadowheart's spells to include 'command' and use the 'rest' (heal and reset spells) terminal before you go in. Try to get the demon to drop his sword, you can loot it. Also, if you kill one of the two (probably, the mind flayer) which can be done using the explosive purple barrels all over the ship, you will land at level 2 and have and advantage in the fights over landing at level 1 (from not killing one of them). Also, and this is important: to get the most out of the cutscene, make shadowheart naked and have her touch the helm.
