Rosimorn's Retreat in Baldur's Gate 3: how to find and get inside

27 aug 2023 at 10:42

Rosimorn's Retreat is a large and rich location where you can find useful loot and intriguing puzzles. Some paths to the location are blocked, so we will explain in detail how to reach Rosimorn's Retreat.

How to Find and Reach Rosimorn's Retreat

By the end of the second act, there are several ways to reach the retreat: through the Mountain Pass or the Underdark. If you choose to go through the Mountain Pass, be prepared to encounter Lae'zel's kin. If you fail one of the challenges, you'll have to engage in combat. An alternative to avoid a fight is to have Lae'zel herself in your party.

After the pass, you will see the old monastery building. You can't just walk in; the door is cursed. Sneak inside through a window or the roof. The second way is to get in by climbing thick roots along the wall.

Inside the building, you'll face a group of kobolds that have taken up residence in the cellar. The best fighter for this scenario is Astarion. Proceed through the halls and exit to the room with stained glass windows. Here, take the ceremonial sword and key.

The path through the window is similar, but you'll have to contend with different mobs called goblins.

How to Solve the Stained Glass Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, you need to place the correct ceremonial weapons on each of the 4 pedestals. Here's where to find each one.

Ceremonial Warhammer

Return to the staircase you passed earlier and head to the coordinates (X: 91, Y: 41). Climb to the upper floor using the hanging vine. On the roof, you'll find an eagle's nest with the hammer hidden inside. You won't be able to negotiate with the birds. Defeat them and take the hammer from the nest.

Ceremonial Mace

Return to Rosimorn's Retreat waypoint and immediately turn right. Climb through a broken window and face the kobolds again. After defeating them, you'll find the mace.

An alternative is the Rusty Mace. It's just lying on the floor at coordinates (X: 88, Y: 34). Choosing between the maces won't affect the final reward.

Ceremonial Battleaxe

From where you defeated the eagles, proceed deeper into the building. Find the dried vine again and descend it. Here, you'll find a locked room that can only be opened by rolling dice. The battleaxe will be guarded by the Guardian of Faith. You can attack immediately or take the axe – the mob will turn hostile when you do. Up until that point, it will be neutral. After winning the battle, take the axe.

Correct Order of Weapons

Arrange the found ceremonial weapons in the following order:

  • Sword - left of the wall;
  • Warhammer - right of the wall;
  • Battleaxe - next to the sword;
  • Mace - next to the warhammer.

For solving the puzzle, you will receive a reward and gain access to a new quest chain.
