Find the Blood of Lathander

[jimd2320]

OK team...what am I missing?
I interacted with the statue plaque, placed the 4 weapons, picked up the Dawnmaster's Crest, spun the statues, opened the secret door leading to the secret stairway, but can't get through the shiny door in the secret chamber. The only thing I can interact with is the plaque that tells tresspassers to turn back.

There are crystals in the area that power the shiny doors. Destroy the crystals to pass.

[General Malaise]

There's a way to bypass one door to deactivate, and there's another lot of crystals over the edge of the rocks.

[Kafik]

There's one that is kind on the side of the chasm and hard to see.

Look around for destructibles.

Thanks all! Feel pretty stupid now...haven't played a game like this since Bards Tale III on the C64!
I'm sure there will be more calls for help later :)

How do you know all this lol? I managed to figure out the Dawnmasters Crest bit and got that but I have no idea where these spinnable statues are I didnt see anything else that told me what to do? It says the plaque shows you the way but it didnt show me anything. I accidentally found the crystal with a few drops of blood in it in the Creche but that wasnt it. And I wouldnt have found that if I hadnt decide to try stealing some things. So no idea what I am doing in this game half the time and main questlines should not be hidden in areas that are marked red as theft. If you are playing a good person you would never find these.

Some of the quests in this game are far too vague. Half of them I wouldnt have a clue what to do if I hadnt read the journal or watched the map for new markers, because I dont know half of what I am doing in this game and it doesnt explain things well enough at all in the dialogues or books.

Weird game.

It's not supposed to be an obvious thing for all to obtain. It is a reward for taking the time to read the clues you find throughout the location as a whole.

You got weirdly a lot of things wrong. Starting with the fact that the red area marker on the minimap shows a danger zone, not theft.

The hints for the artifact are plenty and unmissable.

The clues to the puzzle are all there, but they are not "unmissable". If you play a lot of these types of games, you know the genre. You can usually tell right away what is a puzzle clue and what is not, because you have seen many, many other similar puzzles.

But if you are new to this type of game, it is harder.

Also, even if you solve the puzzle to get the seal, you then have to do the whole cheche thing before you can find the passage to get the actual Blood. It's not actually unmissable.

Or you could just steal the thing and deal with the "Lazer" you get a nice achievement from that 😁

I stole it plenty of times. I missed the door to the upper temple and had no idea I was ignoring that zone. I love that there are multiple ways to do everything in this game. Progress is generally defined, but there are a lot of alternate paths to get there.
