How to Solve the Defiled Temple Moon Puzzle in BG3
To solve the puzzle, you must rotate the Moon plates on the floor. This requires that you turn the Moon dials in accordance with the lunar phases in a specific pattern. Check out the Dwarf’s Poem that offers a clue to unlock the door.
Rotate the discs in the following order to solve the puzzle.
- South Disc x3
- West Disc 1x
- South Disc 1x
- North Disc 1x
- West Disc 3x
- East Disc 2x
You must rotate the dials to have the full moon symbols on the top, and half moon symbols on the sides while no moons on the bottom at all.
As you face towards the statue standing to the center of the Defiled Temple, spin the stone discs accordingly. No matter the order and times of spinning the Moon discs, we suggest placing the moons according to the lunar phases stated above.
Alternatively, you can lockpick the nearby lever assuming you pass the necessary perception checks. As you do, it unlocks the door.
