How to Begin the Find the True Blood of Lathander Quest
This quest can be started by looting the Strange Chunk of Amber from the Display Case in the Inquisitor’s Chambers at the Rosymorn Monastery.
One of my party members detected that the artefact was fake, prompting us to search for the real one. You can pass the item around to different party members to see if they will pass the check.
The other way to get this quest is by finding all of the Ceremonial Weapons and placing them on their pedestals (which you’ll need to do anyway). Once you’ve done this, read the Note to the Next Dawnmaster in the pouch you’ll be rewarded.
Find the True Blood of Lathander Walkthrough
To start, you’ll need to find 3 ceremonial weapons scattered around the monastery and place them on their pedestals in the room with a giant stained-glass image on the floor in the northern part of the monastery.
Find the Ceremonial Battle Axe
The battle axe can be found in a barricaded room with a Guardian of Faith on the east side of the building. You can jump over the things blocking the door or destroy them to gain entry.
Doing so will invoke the guardian’s wrath. Defeat it, and you’ll be able to grab the axe. It will either be on the floor or looted from the guardian.
I defeated the guardian before the quest, and it disappeared. When I went back, his corpse was there, and the axe was on the ground. I had reloaded the game for this to happen.
Find the Ceremonial Mace
The mace can be looted from a Kobold (you’ll have to fight a group of them) in the wine cellar of the monetary on the west side of the building.
To reach it, head to the room where all of the Gremishka were, and then make your way to the northwestern part of the room. You can then jump down to the level below to reach the cellar. This is a bit of a jump and will result in you taking some damage. You can mitigate that by casting Feather Fall.
Find the Ceremonial Warhammer
The Warhammer is located on the building’s roof in an eagle’s nest. To reach it, head to the room where the pack of Gremishka made their nest and look for some boards blocking a doorway.
Break them and head through, bringing you to an area with a small pool. You can climb up some vines to reach the roof there. If you try to grab the weapon, the birds will turn hostile, and you’ll have to fight them. This includes putting down for or trying to pick it up while invisible.
Place the Ceremonial Weapons
The order from left to right when entering the room is Battle Axe, Longsword, Warhammer, and Mace.
After doing this, the wall will open up between the Longsword and Warhammer allowing you to grab the Dawnmaster’s Crest from a pouch.
With the Dawnmaster’s Crest, head to the room where you fought the Inquisitor (or will fight), and then go to the western part of the room to find two statues.
Facing the western wall, the one on the right needs to be turned to face east. The one on the left needs to be turned to face west. To turn the statue to the left, you’ll need to pass an Acrobatics check first, which rolls when interacting with the statue. You can use Lae’zel’s Anstral Knowledge and select Dexterity to make this easier.
Once the statues are in the correct position, the western wall will lower, revealing a hidden path. Follow the path down the steps and head through the giant doors with the sun on them at the end to reach the Secret Chamber.
A barrier will block the way forward in the chamber. Destroy the energy source to the left of the door to drop it, then head inside. This will trigger turn-based mode as a trap is set off.
Head over to the Dawnbreaker in the middle of the room and disarm it by passing a skill check. You’ll then need to cross a gap to the other side to disable two energy sources and another Dawnbreak. We did this by having Gale cast fly on another party member, then flew over to the other side.
Once you get the barrier down, continue heading west to reach a platform with the Blood of Lathander on it. Place the crest on the pedestal under it to release the weapon and claim it for yourself when you complete the quest.
