Baldur’s Gate 3 Guide: How to Get the Blood of Lathander in BG3

Baldur’s Gate 3 is definitely a fan favorite right now. Thanks to the number of quests in the game, players are spending hundreds of hours in the game already. If you’re interested in ways to slay goblins more efficiently, then chances are you’ll want The Blood of Lathander. So how can players acquire this powerful mace?

A series of puzzles sit between players and The Blood of Lathander, and players may have a hard time getting through. But luckily we’ve got some tips to share that can help ease your journey.

Figure out the ceremonial weapon puzzle

Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t have any shortage when it comes to quests. There are tons of side-quests that will lead players on for hours before revealing the ultimate prize. Some quests require protecting the downtrodden, while others involve finding treasures like magic weapons..

Players first start to believe that something may be found at Rosymorn Monastery, which sits atop of Githyanki creche. Standing at the courtyard, Lathander’s statue can’t be missed . Also, you will also find yourself in a puzzle room that has four pedestals in it.

To solve the puzzle, you’ll need to look around the Monastery to find ceremonial weapons. Each of the weapons have a specific pedestal to be placed upon, which you have to figure out from the stained glass window at the center of the room. However, in case you don’t have the patience to be vested in the puzzle for too long, we got you covered.

• The northwest pedestal will need a ceremonial warhammer. Search for it on the roof of Rosymorn Monastery inside the nest of the giant eagle. Climb the knotted roots outside of the room with the Guardian of the Faith to reach the nest. You might need to fall the eagles because they’re kind of hard to convince.
• The southeast pedestal can have any weapon on it.
• The pedestal on the southwest of the room needs a battle-axe, which you can find in another room with a Guardian of the Faith inside it. Exact location X-105, Y-45. S keep your guards up, as the Guardian of the Faith will fight you as soon as you get your hands on the battle axe. But the action will be short-lived.
• The northwest pedestal should have a longsword placed on it already.

Collect the Dawnmaster’s crest once you place each weapon on its designated pedestal.

Once you’ve dealt with Ch’r’ai W’wargaz in the dilapidated room, head over the gap on the easter wall. There, if you have enough strength, you can interact with and win against the two statues. The DC is pretty high so you may have to try more than once to get that done.

Take the path to the left of the trap to find the next obstacle.

In this next chamber, disarm the Dawnbreaker trap, and no this is not where you use the Dawmaster’s Crest. The proceed to climb down the northern ledge and destroy the energy source crystals.
