Quick Links
Baldur’s Gate 3is filled with quests. Big, important ones that have you saving the weak, and smaller ones that have you following clues to some promised treasure. These usually take the form of equippable magic items, such as weapons or rings.
The Blood of Lathanderis one such treasure, and you can learn of its existence at Rosymorn Monastery, which sits above what is now a Githyanki Creche. You’re in for quite an extended series of puzzles, though, but the reward at the end is quite worth it - especially if you like maces!
Updated June 14, 2025, by Sean Murray:Looking for how to disarm the Dawnbreaker traps in BG3? This guide will get you from Rosymorn Monastery’s entrance to the depths of the Githyanki Creche where you’ll stumble across this powerful forgotten relic. We’ve updated this guide to include our latest formatting and more links to other helpful Baldur’s Gate 3 topics.
Solving The Ceremonial Weapon Puzzle
While your first hint that there’s something to be found atRosymorn Monasterymay be obtained byexamining the plaque underneath the statue of Lathander in the central courtyard, you’ll also be tipped off by theobvious puzzle room with four pedestalsin it, one of them glowing with light.
The puzzle here involvesscouring the Monastery for Ceremonial weapons, each of which has a specific pedestal that you must place them on. These weapons correspond with the stained-glass window in the center of the room.
With all the weapons collected,place them on their respective pedestals. This will reveal a pouch - inside,pick up the Dawnmaster’s Crest. This is crucial for simplifying a later puzzle.
Opening The Secret Passage
The next step in this quest comes a bit later in the sequence of events at the Monastery. No matter how you deal with the Githyanki and their creche below, you’ll need to make your way to the dilapidatedroom to the north of the Captain’s Quarters.
After dealing with Ch’r’ai W’wargaz and the events here, you’ll need tohead to the eastern alcove (X:1333, Y:-660). There aretwo statueshere that you can interact with - doing so requires ahigh Strength check, so it’s a very good idea tosave your game here and reload if all of your characters failat them - a character who fails will not be able to try again, and the DC is quite high at 25.
TheStrange Chunk of Amberthat you may find here is actually a decoy! You can ignore this - or better yet, loot and sell it.
Turn the northern statue until it faces back the way you came, and thesouthern statue until it faces the wall to the west. This will open up a new passage leading to this quest’s next stage.
The Daybreak Chamber
The Daybreak Chamber is a new area that hasa series of obstaclesfor you to overcome.
After bypassing these obstacles, you’ll be in the final room, which holds theBlood of Lathanderitself! It’s a mace hovering above a pedestal surrounded by light.
If you try to take the mace at this point, you’ll be warned multiple times by the game thatit’s a bad idea.
Instead, you’ll need to disable the protective traps.Interact with the Control Panel just underneath the levitating mace, and you’ll be prompted toinsert an item into the slot. This is where you’lluse theDawnmaster’s Crestyou picked up in the first half of this quest.
Your Reward: The Blood Of Lathander
The Blood of Lathander is a suitably magical weapon - aLegendary-tier +3 mace. Apart from the usual stats a mace has (dealing 1d6 + your Strength modifier damage and allowing you to use the Concussive Smash ability if you have proficiency with maces), it has somepowerful magical effects:
This weapon is fantastic for many types of characters. Clerics will enjoy the additional firepower against the undead (of which you’ll be up against many in the coming hours) and anyone can benefit from Lathander’s Blessing - especially squishier characters.
