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[edit | edit source]

The Defiled Temple is an old Selûne Selûnite temple that has long been abandoned. It 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[edit | edit source]

Gut's room is guarded by Polma Polma (and Gut Gut if she knocked out the party). The gilded chest near the bed contains an Amulet of Misty Step at X: 386 Y: 8. The Selûnite Journal is nearby, which provides information on the moon tile puzzle farther in the temple.

Moon tile puzzle[edit | edit source]

In the north-eastern section of the 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. Upon completion, a door opens to reveal a long descent into the Underdark.

  • The puzzle can be solved by interacting with the tiles in the following sequence: (note that this is only one of many possible solutions)
  1. North
  2. North
  3. East
  4. West
  5. South
  6. South
  7. East
  • Alternatively, there is a hidden lever in the north part of this room, near a set of stairs, that can be revealed with a Perception check at X: 442 Y: 64. This lever can be lockpicked to bypass the puzzle and open the way.

Points of interest[edit | edit source]

  • Four Stone Discs X: 436 Y: 55
