This article will guide you on how to solve the Shar Statue Plaques Puzzle to enter the Sharran Sanctuary in the Reithwin Town ( Shadow-Cursed Lands) in Baldur’s Gate 3.


Sharran Sanctuary is located north of Moonrise Towers in the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Below is the exact location on the above map. The Sharran Sanctuary is hidden under the corrupted statue, and you must solve a puzzle to get there.

How To Solve The Statue Puzzle

When you reach the corrupted statue, you’ll see three plaques attached to it. Each plaque has a distinct jumble of letters, and it’s your job to touch the plaques in the correct sequence to expose the Sanctuary’s door. You must also pass the Intuition Skill Check at each plaque. 

Examine each plaque on the statue and interact with them in the following order.

  • North Plaque – OUR – LMISTRWHEN – NITHORM
  • West Plaque – ADY – OESS – OFGHT – FSHAL
  • East Plaque – F – LOSS – PAINALLSL – RISE

This should unlock the statue and grant you access to the Sanctuary.

Blood Sacrifice
