This article will guide you on how to solve the Silent Library puzzle in Baldur’s Gate 3. Silent Library contains a weapon that Shadowheart needs to complete her destiny as a Lady Shar follower and future Dark Justiciar.
You can find the Silent Library on the lowest floor of the Gauntlet of Shar in the same corridors where the Faith-Leap trial room is located. As you enter the library defeat all enemies, including the purple portal in the middle of the room.

After defeating the enemies, head west in the library and unlock a giant gate that guards a smaller chamber.
This little chamber features a huge image of Lady Shar on the rear wall as well as a pedestal in the center. Interact with the pedestal to hear the riddle, “What can silence a Nightsong?” and enter an item to answer that question.

The book you’re searching for is “Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger.” As seen in the screenshot below, this book is situated on the north wall of the library. After disarming the traps on the bookshelf, take the book back to the pedestal and place it in the box that appears on your screen.

By doing so, the portrait of Lady Shar will transform into a hidden passage. Here, you’ll be able to acquire the Spear of Night, along with a Dark Justiciar helmet.
