Gauntlet of Shar Bug [Spoilers Act 2]
Hey everyone,

I saw some youtube videos with the same problem I guess but their solution isn't working so I thought I ask the collective knowledge of you people. I completed all challenges and have all the 4 gems I need. I didn't had a problem with the elevator, that worked fine. I put the gem in it and could use it to go down.

But here's my problem:

I have to put the other three gems into the second pedestal. I click on it and the menu opens, I select them in the inventory and it says that it worked with sound and everything. After that there is only one gem in the visible pedestral, the other ones are gone. They are also not in my inventory anymore and the door won't open. If I click on it again Shadowheart says something like "MMMH we have to put something in there" - yes darling, I know, we just did it and it didn't worked.

I saw on youtube that some people "fixed" this bug by using misty step and click into the black on the otherside of the door and could teleport that way to the other side, opend the door and everything was fine. But maybe it's not working anymore or I am too stupid to find the right spot but I couldn't do it that way.

Do you have any ideas? It seems this quest is essential so I'm a bit stressed out by this. I don't have other problems in the game, everything else works fine and it's as fast as always.

(English also isn't my first language, so I am very sorry if I have some typos or grammer mistakes)

Here are some screenshots:

Hardly. From what I see is that there is no such bug

No issue: Gauntlet of Shar - Umbral Gems - Knock Workaround too good

I have the same problem. I think they changed how you insert the gems(before you could insert eachone individual but now you insert all at the same time), and they messed something up.

So I just used the spell "Knock" to open the door and continue playing doesnt seem like the cleanes way to do it but better then just looking at a door not knowing why it is not opening.
Hopefully it will also work for you.

Same here. After inserting 3 gems, only one shows up in the final altar. It seems they changed the *input window* to accept three gems but forgot to make the *insert button* insert all three, and kept it inserting only one gem. Soft locked.

update: I had this same Gauntlet of Shar final door Orb Altar issue. I solved it by uninstalling **all** my mods and reloading a slightly earlier save. My theory is that this bug is triggered by the "Mod Fixer" mod, whose code is actually included inside many other mods, so you can't be sure a cosmetic or UI mod doesn't contain the bad code.

But I don't have a save without mods

I give up


Even after doing everything it still shows an issue

I did a mistake installing those mods

I need to reload to a 5hrs back save and redo everything for sake 💀🫡

A had a same problem, but I found a way around it. After I placed all 3 gems into the table, I used Knock spell to unlock the stone door. Hope it helps :D

That's the point here

Knock spell has been patched out and while using it on the door it's shows as invalid target
