Head North and you will find a statue with an Umbral Gem. Approaching the statue will repel you. In order to be able to solve this puzzle you need to pull levers in nearby side rooms to lower the lanterns. Beware of lots of traps. You then interact with the lanterns to extinguish their light. Once the room is completely dark you'll see a pattern on the floor which is a maze to the statue. This will allow you to interact with the gem and advance in the dungeon. Alternatively, one may bypass the puzzle by teleporting to the gem via [[Misty Step]], [[Dimension Door]], or other means.
Just inside the entrance is a statue with an Umbral Gem. Shar speaks to you through the statue, inviting you to take on her trials and prove yourselves worthy. Approaching the statue will repel you. In order to continue, you party must extinguish eight Mystic Thuribles around the room. There are two side hallways to the east and west of the room, and levers located in alcoves to the north and south of each hallway. each side of the room. The alcoves are protected by pressure plates, which can be disarmed ({{SkillCheck|Sleight of Hand|10}}) as well as vents that are activated by the pressure plates and produce a cloud similar to [[Darkness]]{{verify}}. Activate the levers to lower the Thuribles, then interact with them to snuff out their lights. Any [[Moonlantern]]s or other sources of light must also be unequipped. Once the room is shrouded in darkness, purple glyphs are revealed around the statue. Follow the gaps in the glyphs to touch the Umbral Gem. This opens the way north.
 
Alternatively, you can also bypass the puzzle entirely by teleporting to the gem via [[Misty Step]], [[Dimension Door]], or other means.
