Stained glass puzzle help!

[Full_Regalia]

This is the puzzle in the Rosymorn Monastery for the blood of Lathander.
It requires you to place ceremonial weapons atop altar.
Unfortunately for me I have sold the ceremonial battlaxe a few full rests ago it seems it’s lost forever.
Any other way to resolve the quest?
I can see the door but the DC is 30 for lock picking and I can only get max +9 bonus which means i’ll never hit 30 even if I roll 20.
Any ideas?

1. Buy it back
2. Wait for crit success / respec some char to get more in lockpick.

rolling a 20 is a critical success and always succeeds no matter the difficulty.

Ive heard blabber that the rusty versions of the weapons found in rosymorn may work too.

Even if it had DC 300 you would always open it with 20 since it's critical success(similarly if you throw 1 you will always fail no matter bonuses you got). Unless you're running mods I don't think shops would ever remove ceremonial weapons either. Also you can complete the blood of lathander even without doing that puzzle.

I have never tested this, but I have heard that *any* battleaxe, *any* mace, etc. will work.

Also, if you roll a 20 it's an automatic success. Just saying. But easier to try a replacement battleaxe.

ok I solved by rolling a natural 20, thanks for the advice.
