Where is the Blood of Lathander Located in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Once you have gotten to your destination by either traveling to the gorgeous city of Underdark or, going on a nature walk through the mountain pass you’ll be able to take the quest known as The Blood of Lathander. Head for the Rosymorn Monastery and interact with a plaque that’s below a statue of Lathander. If you can’t find it, just go to the entrance of Githyanki Creche to see it.

The Blood of Lathander is not exactly a vial of blood if you were thinking that, or a quest involving murder. This quest will grant you access to a mace with the title Blood of Lathander. In order to find the weapon you need to go upstairs from where you started the quest. Keep climbing until you’ve reached the floor with a stained glass window in the middle of the floor. You’ll notice there are gems and a sword, for the love of everything holy, do not pick up this sword. Go through the quest and follow all necessary instructions until you’ve reached a secret room with The Blood of Lathander on a pedestal.

How to Complete the Puzzle in Blood of Lathander Quest

During the quest, you will come across a room that is actually a giant puzzle. You’ll need to complete it in order to reach the room with The Blood of Lathander inside. Make your way down into the western closet of the room with the Commander. You’ll need to loot the display case for a Strange Chunk of Amber and use a character that has high strength to move the statues. Make sure the left statue is facing west. The right statue needs to face the entrance. Go through the door for the next portion of the quest.

Once you’ve made it inside the room you should see a yellow barrier. You’re going to want to shoot the blue crystals located on the left. After you have broken them you’ll need to go to another barrier inside the room. There will be traps inside that you need to destroy. Once the traps are disarmed go around the rocks to the left to get past this barrier. Jump until you’ve reached the final room, head down the rocks, and destroy the crystals. This is important, once you’ve found the mace, make sure you insert the crest before you take the mace. War in Githyanki will not happen if you insert the crest you got from the beginning of the quest.
