Just follow the roadway and cross the river to reach Reithwin Town, then head north from there. When you tag a waypoint past the graveyard, you’ll consult with the devil Raphael, who has a proposal for Astarion. You require to beat one of his rivals hiding in the dungeon.

When you reach the topmost chamber, you’ll see a coffin and three murals.

You then require to engage with the murals in the following order:

Resolving the puzzle opens the doorway. This lets you ride the elevator to the Gauntlet of Shar appropriate.

How to Solve the Statue Puzzle

In the initial chamber, you’ll notice a statue holding an orb. You’ll get pushed back if you attempt to approach it. Here’s what you require to do:

Examine the side spaces and pull the levers to lower all the lanterns.
Be careful of activating traps, as these cause clouds of darkness to appear. Characters will take damage when standing in these clouds as rats, which they can’t target, will attack them.

The chamber to the left is Balthazar’s lair. He desires your aid, and he even provides you a product to summon a Flesh Golem.
To the south, you’ll see a statue of Shar that your characters can hope to. There’s a Religion check that you must pass, and doing so grants an enthusiast to necrotic damage resistance. On the other hand, stopping working the check confers a charge. We likewise encourage you not to try this with Shadowheart, as it states that the action will trigger her to provide her heart and soul to Shar with no reservations. While we can’t verify it yet, this may affect the Shadowheart love.
Where to Find the Orthon

To finish this part of Astarion’s Pale Elf mission, you’ll want to head to the right (from the waypoint). At the staircase, you’ll identify a Displacer Beast. (We understand that felines are awesome, but this one may be harmful.).

Anyhow, follow it to the antechamber that’s filled with bones. This specific area of the dungeon, along with the trial spaces, occur to have Umbral Gems. These are mission products that you need to power up the main device.

It’s been caught in the dungeon for centuries and it desires to get out. If you fail to convince it, this will lead to a hard fight, since the hostile mobs are on a ledge above you.

State that you can attempt to assist it, then ask about its contract with Raphael. You need to pass a surprise Arcana check to find that the agreement was made to trick him.
This will trigger another Persuasion response to appear. You need to state that his fans are still there, and they require to die. He’ll immediately eliminate his lowly minions.
If you prosper with the next reply, he’ll be forced to eliminate his Displacer Beast family pet. (Oh, no! The cat!).
And, finally, you can state that he’s still in the area, so he probably needs to die, too.

If you can persuade the Orthon to take itself out, or if you manage to beat it in battle, you can loot its ashes for an Infernal Iron and the Hellfire Hand Crossbow. The ranged weapon has the following features:.

+2 magic.

Soft-Step Trial.
