Dawnmaster Puzzle (Rosymorn Monastery)

Find the Rosymorn Monastery Ceremonial Weapons

① Reach the Rosymorn Monastery

②Ⓐ Acquire the Ceremonial Mace

②Ⓑ Acquire the Rusted Mace (Alternative)

③ Acquire the Ceremonial Warhammer

④ Acquire the Ceremonial Battleaxe

⑤ Place the Weapons on their Designated Altars

Reach the Rosymorn Monastery

Outer Entrance
Rosymorn MonasteryX: 30, Y: 23

You can get to the Rosymorn Monastery after gaining access to the Mountain Pass.

Under the monastery is the Creche Y'llek, which is part of progressing Lae'zel's quest, and which you need to also access to as part of finishing the Dawnmaster Puzzle and getting the Blood of Lathander.

Acquire the Ceremonial Mace

Head to the Mountain Pass, and proceed straight towards the Rosymorn Monastery. From there, you will need to search for a room occupied by Kobolds.

If you are at the entrance to the monastery where the cutscene between the Githyanki and the Halflings occured, look to the left side and check for broken windows. Jump into a window and you should encounter a drunk Kobold that is about to sleep.

Defeat the Kobolds in the room, and inspect their corpses until you find one holding the Ceremonial Mace.

Acquire the Rusted Mace (Alternative)

Alternatively, you can also dig up Dawnmaster Stockhold's grave and from there, you'll find a Rusted Mace with the note saying Dawnmaster Stockhold was buried together with a Ceremonial Mace.

You can place this on the Altar instead of the standard Ceremonial Mace that's in the possesion of the Kobold instead.

Acquire the Ceremonial Warhammer

Next, you will need to head up towards the roof just above from where you've slain the room full of kobolds. Go back out of the room and climb the Knotted Roots to get to the roof.

You can head north until you find more Knotted Roots behind an archway, or you can look for the knotted roots near the Guardian of Faith room which will take your directly to the front of the eagle.

Climb up and when you reach the roof, you will find the Ceremonial Warhammer located in the nest of an Ancient Eagle. You could try a stealth approach by smuggling the warhammer without antagonizing the Ancient Eagle, or the more direct approach where you outright kill the avian creature.

Acquire the Ceremonial Battleaxe

After acquiring the Ceremonial Warhammer, you will need to head towards the East Wing of the Rosymorn Monastery. You will find the Ceremonial Battleaxe in the area behind an Enchanted Door.

Even if you can unlock the door, you will have to find another way since it is barricaded by beds. Head to the Dawnmaster Room nearby with the circular stained glass. Look to your right and you will find a broken window you can jump into.

From the broken window, navigate the broken path to jump into another broken window into the Guardian of Faith's room. Use ranged attacks to defeat the Guardian of Faith and pick up the Ceremonial Battleaxe near it.

How to Access Guardian of Faith Room

Place the Weapons On Their Designated Altars

Once you have acquired all three ceremonial weapons, backtrack to the hallway and proceed to the puzzle room with the Dawnmaster Room

From there, place the ceremonial weapons on their designated altars to open a small chamber that holds a pouch containing the Dawnmaster's Crest inside it.

Search for the Blood of Lathander in the Secret Chamber

① Reach Creche Y'llek Below the Monastery

② Head to the Captain's Quarters

③ Reach the Inquisitor's Chambers

④ Use the Dawnmaster's Crest to Open the Gate

Reach Creche Y'llek Below the Monastery

From the room where the Ceremonial Battleaxe could be looted, take the door that leads to a broken down staircase.

Jump down and make your way to the door to the Monastery Basem*nt which leads to Creche Y'llek.

Where to Find the Githyanki Creche

Head to the Captain's Quarters

The dialogue options above may differ per character.

When entering the creche for the first time, you can ge through with dialogue checks or by defeating the guards. Being a Githyanki or having Lae'zel in your party will give you easier dialogue choices.

Once you are past the guards in Creche Y'llek, you will have to go through the Captain's Quarters. At the quarters, you can kill or pickpocket the Kith'rak Therezzyn to get the Gith Stone.

Insert the stone into the Githyanki Barrier Disruptor beside the yellow barrier to open it. Head inside and continue on by crossing the bridge and entering the next area, the Inquisitor's Chamber to find the next puzzle.

Reach the Inquisitor's Chambers

Once inside the Inquisitor's Chambers, you can go directly to the two statues to the west of the area. You do not have to interact with the Inquisitor when doing this.

Assuming that you are facing west here is the order in which you will turn them, from top to bottom.

1. Right Statue - Turn Once (1 time)
2. Left Statue - Turn Thrice (3 times)
3. Right Statue - Turn Twice (2 times)

You will need to physically attack the statue on the left before you could move it. After moving the statues in their designated positions, a path behind the Decorated Barrels will open up that leads to the Daybreak Gate.

Move the barrels to the side and then continue on to the newly revealed path.

### Use the Dawnmaster's Crest to Open the Gate

Proceed towards the Daybreak Gate revealed from positioning the two statues in their designated directions.

Simply enter the Daybreak Gate, and the area will take you to the Secret Chamber which houses the Blood of Lathander.

## Get Past Secret Chamber's Traps

① Remove the Yellow Barriers

② Disarm the Dawnbreaker Trap

③ Disarm the Second Dawnbreaker and Barrier

Remove the Yellow Barriers

After going inside the Daybreak Gate, proceed onwards and use ranged attacks to destroy the Energy Sources that are powering up the yellow barriers hindering your progress.

Disarm the Dawnbreaker Trap

It is good to have Astarion or a Rogue in this area, as their proficiency bonuses will make disarming traps easier.

Position a member to the side of the Dawnbreaker so as not to be detected nor hit by its blastwave. Use a Sleight of Hand Check to safely disarm the trap before your party ventures.

Climb the left side of the Dawnbreaker and then traverse the backside until you find the energy source for the next gate.

Disarm the Second Dawnbreaker and Barrier

Drop down to the side of the second Dawnbreaker and roll another Sleight of Hand Check to disarm it. Then safely go to the ledge to destroy another Energy Source down below, and then proceed to the last room.

You will see that the Blood of Lathander is at the end of the platform, levitating. Use the Dawnmaster's Crest to free and obtain the weapon.
