Baldur’s Gate 3: Solve Silent Library & Beat Balthazar | Gauntlet of Shar [3/3]
We’ve made it to the final stage of the Gauntlet of Shar in Baldur’s Gate 3. We’ve completed the three trials and collected all four Umbral Gems — technically, that’s everything required to complete the dungeon. But, if you want to complete Shadowheart‘s Companion Quest, we’ll also need to collect the Spear of Night. Getting this item is a challenge in of itself, with a tricky puzzle and another Umbral Tremor encounter.
After collecting the Spear of Night, you’ll be able to use the Umbral Gems to access the Shadowfell and delve into the heart of the temple where the Nightsong is waiting. This also leads to a very difficult boss fight that’s been buffed since the initial release. We’ll provide some tricks — and some incredibly useful spells — that can counter the mad Necromancer and his army of the undead.
