Though there aren’t a lot of puzzles in Baldur’s Gate 3, a lot of them seem to be hidden around the Rosymorn Monastery and Creche Y’llek. Due to the fact that this place hides the powerful Blood of Lathander, you will have to beat a couple of puzzles to reach your final destination and take the prize without any problems. Well, after you deal with the Githyanki and the Dream Visitor, you will find in the Inquisitor’s Chamber two statues that you can turn around. One of them will be stuck if you fail a DC 25 Athletics check. Here is how to solve the statue puzzle that leads to the Blood of Lathander in Baldur’s Gate 3 and how to get through if the statue is stuck or broken.

How to Rotate Jammed Stuck Statue in BG3
The first part of the Blood of Lathander statue puzzle in BG3 that you will need to figure out is how to rotate the jammed stuck statue on the southern side of the room. If you interact with it, you will first face a DC 25 Athletics check.
You can try the check with all the characters in your party. If you fail it with all of them, you have two choices:
- Hit the statue
- Use Grease on the statue
If you just hit the statue it will start moving. However, there is a risk that you will break it if you do this. Use a low damage attack, maybe the Fire Bolt cantrip for Astarion or Shadowheart, and the statue will start moving.
The easiest way to make the jammed stuck statue rotate in BG3 is to throw a bottle of Grease at it or use a Scroll of Grease on the statue. Interact with it afterward and it will rotate without any problems.
What to Do If You Broke the Stuck Statue
There is also a way to get past the puzzle without actually interacting with the statues. This is probably amazing news for the players that destroyed the statues and can’t interact with the remains anymore.
To get past the Blood of Lathander statue puzzle, just approach the wall to the west and use an AOE attack or spell on it. Using Burning Hands on the wall should instantly destroy it, allowing you to get past it without any special puzzle-solving skills.
