Damn, I have the same question.
For some reason, when examining the "Mysterious Artifact", the Narrator's text appears and there are no options to jump to Orpheus and the Emperor

I would also very much like an answer to this please. I'm trying to wrap up these quests before confronting the Absolute.

The game says to 'wait for an opportunity' but I've collected all three stones and it still hasn't shown itself.

I've figured it out, you just have to finally go to confront the elder brain and it happens

Is this true I don't want to end my game just yet

Yes it's true. Going to confront the elder brain is how the opportunity to enter the prism reveals itself.

Also, it is a point of no return; meaning that once you go to confront the brain, you will have no more chances to take a long rest, nor can you swap out your party members. So if you have any unfinished business you would like to tackle first, do take care of that.

And make sure you bring your A-List party members, because I chose to leave Shadowheart back in camp, and had to deal with the final stretch of the game without the use of a dedicated healer.

using a dedicated healer in this game is a surefire way to make the game harder. healing is far worse than ccing or straight up killing the enemy. you should have a massive stock of hp potions if you bought them from merchants. if not then you bad at game

ah yes if you play differently than me you must be bad.... why the hell would you waste your money hoovering up hp pots? they are objectivly worse than just taking one spot in you spell list for healing word for when someone goes down, even with the penalties in this game, And Shadowheart may be a subpar cleric but still a cleric, objectivly one of the strongest classes, doubly so in the 7-12 levelrange which most of this game takes up. play how you like but I for one would rather not use my bonus action for healing pots when I could use it to do damage, reposition or do a host of other useful things with them.

While it's true that Clerics are indeed one of the strongest classes, the Trickery domain is quite possibly the worst one in BG3. Even more so now that Larian has nerfed the stealth build option.

If anybody plans on having a Cleric, I recommend either rolling one yourself, using a hireling, or respec Shadowheart into a different Domain.

I personally recommend Light Domain, as you get access to Radiance of the Dawn at level 2, and later get access to FIREBALL once you unlock 3rd level spells.

What do you mean 2nd playthrough? Astarion was my first play through.

Regardless, the question was already answered, and I managed to beat the game.
