The Defiled Temple (also known as the Temple of Selûne) is a Location within the Shattered Sanctum in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It serves as one of the entrances to the Underdark.

Overview

An old temple dedicated to Selûne Selûne, which has since been abandoned, the Defiled Temple can be accessed through its main door in Priestess Gut's quarters in the Shattered Sanctum X: 253 Y: -7, through a cave mouth in the spider pen, or through a small hole in the Zhentarim's stock room.

Gut's room

Inside a small bedroom is Polma Polma (and Gut Gut if the player character was knocked out by her). In a gilded chest near the bed is an Amulet of Misty Step X: 386 Y: 8. As well, a Selûnite Journal is found nearby, which gives information on the moon tile puzzle further in the temple.

Moon tile puzzle

A long descent down into the Underdark can be revealed by solving a puzzle in this room. In the north-eastern section of the Defiled Temple is a room with four tiles in the centre. The puzzle is solved by rotating the tiles such that the new moon icons (black circles) are all on the southern-most ring.
