The release of Baldur’s Gate 3 was very well received by the entire community. Countless players have put hundreds of hours into the game and have quoted it as the next Game of the Year. The game is an action-adventure RPG in which players can choose their races and explore the expansive world at their fingertips. This guide will focus on how to solve the stained-glass window puzzle.
Stained Glass Window Puzzle
Location
The stained glass window puzzle can be found as part of the Githyanki Creche quest in the game. The map below shows an image and layout of the room in which you can find the puzzle.
Upon entering this room, you should notice the Stained-glass window on the floor surrounded by three stone pedestals. To solve this puzzle, we need three weapons to throw onto the pedestals to activate them.
First Weapon
To get the first weapon, exit the stained glass room and take a right. Your path will be blocked by a tree’s roots. Hence, use the Jump skill you should have to avoid this obstacle. After jumping, you should see an Enchanted Door in front of you. Open this door by lockpicking it, which will require a Dexterity Check.
Once you open the door, there should be a broken bed that is blocking you. If you pan your camera to look inside the room, you should be able to see a Level 7 Guardian of Faith. We do not recommend fighting this mini-boss inside the room. Rather use your ranged skills to defeat the guardian from outside the room.
Once the guardian is defeated, use the Jump ability and enter the room. There should be a Ceremonial Battleaxe on the floor near where the guardian was defeated. Pick it up, and you are done with one-third of the quest.
Second Weapon
After you get the Ceremonial Battleaxe, simply jump back outside the room where you fought the Guardian of Faith and look towards the right. You should see Knotted Roots, which can be climbed to reach the next level of the building.
Once you reach the next level, a small cutscene should play as the Giant Eagle should get aggressive toward your party. Defeat this Giant Eagle, and inside its nest, you should be able to pick up the Ceremonial Warhammer.
After picking up the Warhammer, it is time to get the final weapon, and for this, head back to the Stained glass puzzle room.
Third Weapon
Once inside the room, the first thing to do is to place the weapon that you already have on the appropriate stone pedestals. On the pedestal that is towards the right, simply open up your inventory and throw the Ceremonial Warhammer on it. This should light up the pedestal, indicating that it is the correct weapon.
Next, head to the pedestal directly opposite the previous one and throw the Ceremonial Battleaxe onto it. This should light up the pedestal exactly as it lit up the previous one. Now there should only be one pedestal that is left unlit. Climb on top of this pedestal and go through the broken window.
Once you go through the window, you should be able to see a giant hole in the floor that leads to the floor below. Jump through this hole to the floor below you. Using the Jump ability will cause you to take damage, so make sure you do not do this with a character that has low health.
Once your character recovers from being knocked down, open the Oak Door in front of you and head inside the room. Once you enter the room and go to the far side, you should see a Skeleton on the ground. Next to the Skeleton, there should be a Rusty Mace. Pick up this mace, and this will be the final weapon to put on the southern pedestal.
Once all the weapons are placed on the pedestal, the puzzle will be solved, and all the characters will receive the condition named Morninglord’s Radiance. This means that the puzzle has been successfully completed. Pick up the pouch on the other side of the room, which contains the Dawnmaster’s Crest and a letter that will help you progress further in the quest.
