Baldur Gate 3 – Defiled Temple Puzzle Explained

AshBy AshAugust 14, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

In the following piece, we will lead players through the process of solving the Defiled Temple Puzzle in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How To Solve Defiled Temple Puzzle In Baldur’s Gate 3:

In Baldur’s Gate 3, one of the challenging puzzles you’ll encounter is the spinning disk Moon Puzzle in the Defiled Temple. This guide will provide a step-by-step solution to help you solve the puzzle as intended. The puzzle involves four spinning stone disks with dots representing full moons and darkness, and your goal is to align the dots to unlock the path to the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark.

  • Prepare Your Party:

Before attempting the puzzle, it’s recommended to split your puzzle solver from the rest of the party. This can be done by dragging their portrait on the left side of the screen. This prevents your party members from inadvertently interfering with your puzzle-solving process.

  • Acquire the Selunite Journal:

After your interaction with Priestess Gut takes a sour turn, loot her body to obtain the Priestess’ Key. Use this key to unlock the door located in the northwest corner of Priestess Gut’s chambers. Once inside, defeat Polma, her bodyguard, and then search the bedroom. In the cabinet to the right of the bed, you’ll find the Selunite Journal. Reading the journal provides valuable clues for solving the puzzle.

  •  Understand the Clues:

The Selunite Journal contains the following clue:
“Thus the interlocking circles will bring the full moons to match the stars while casting darkness where it belongs at the bottom. That chasm to the Underdark will stay sealed”

This clue suggests that you need to align the full moons with the stars and position darkness at the bottom of the puzzle to unlock the path to the Underdark.

Solving The Moon Puzzle:

Now that you’re equipped with the necessary information, it’s time to solve the Moon Puzzle. Follow these steps in the specified order:

1. Spin the southernmost disk three times.
2. Spin the western disk once.
3. Spin the southernmost disk once.
4. Spin the northern disk once.
5. Spin the western disk three times.
6. Spin the eastern disk twice.

  • Verify the Solution:

After correctly executing the sequence of spins, you’ll notice that all the dots representing full moons are aligned with the stars, and the dots representing darkness are positioned at the bottom of the puzzle. This aligns with the clue from the Selunite Journal.

  •  Access the Underdark:

Upon successfully solving the puzzle, the door leading to the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark will open. Proceed through the door to continue your journey and complete your quests for Shadowheart.

By following this comprehensive guide, you should now have a clear understanding of how to solve the Defiled Temple Moon Puzzle in Baldur’s Gate 3. Remember to split your puzzle solver from the party, acquire the Selunite Journal for clues, and then follow the specific sequence of spins to align the dots and open the path to the Underdark. Good luck on your adventure through Faerun!
