To do this, the party can acquire three weapons: a mace, a warhammer, and a battleaxe. The party can find ceremonial versions of all three items, but also simply use generic versions of the weapons (i.e. a [[Battleaxe]]) can be used. The type of weapon is the only thing that matters for them to be accepted for the puzzle. Alternatively, passing a passive {{Ability check|Perception|10}} reveals the hidden chamber containing the crest, and a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|30}} can unlock it, bypassing the puzzle entirely. | ||

The [[Ceremonial Warhammer]] is on the topmost floor of the Monastery, in the centre of a Giant Eagle's nest.

Once the party arrives on the roof, an eagle warns them off, requiring either a {{Ability check|Animal Handling|18}} or a [[Persuasion]] check (with [[Speak with Animals]] active). If the party succeeds, the [[Ancient Giant Eagle]] and [[Giant Eagle]] remain neutral, although they attack if the party moves too close to the nest. With the help of [[Fog Cloud]] or [[Darkness]] and [[Invisibility]], the party can sneak and grab the warhammer while the eagles are unaware.

The party has only four turns to either escape the Monastery or destroy the four Lathander Solar Machines that activate the trap. Whichever party member grabbed the mace is trapped behind a forcefield and cannot act until they've escaped ([[Misty Step]] or [[Dimension Door]] work here). Alternatively, the party can destroy the energy source {{coords|1063|-788}} below the platform that is powering the forcefield. If the Solar Machines are destroyed the creche will still be intact, otherwise the creche will destroyed by the blast. Some companions who get stuck in the blast have unique dialogue afterwards. | ||
