Moon Door Puzzle Solution (Stone Discs)
Solve the Moon Puzzle via Stone Discs
The Moon Puzzle is solved by rotating the stone discs in a way in which all white orbs are positioned away from the illuminated stone disc at the bottom. Follow the steps below to solve the puzzle that unlocks the door that leads to the Underdark:
- Rotate the top stone disc once.
- Next, rotate the left stone disc once.
- Rotate the right stone disc twice.
- Rotate the bottom stone disc three times.
- Finally, rotate the left stone disc twice to solve the puzzle
Use Lockpick on the Lever (Alternative)
Alternatively, you can skip the Moon Puzzle entirely by using the Lockpick option on a Lever near the locked door. You'll first have to roll a successful Perception check in order to gain access to the lever.
If your party members failed the check, you can reload a previous save and try again.
