Baldur’s Gate 3is an immensely massive game, with endless possibilities on what you can do. Right from the start you have a bunch of different options for even character creation, and as you progress through the game, the amount of differences between playthroughs can be staggering. Once you reach Act Two, this only keeps increasing too, with missable things that you can find along the way. One of these is the Silent Library, which is a place you can find in the Gauntlet of Shar. When you enter this room, you’ll be greeted to a pretty difficult fight, but after completing that, there’s only the puzzle left to do. So here’s our guide on the Silent Library puzzle solution inBaldur’s Gate 3.

How to solve the Silent Library puzzle inBaldur’s Gate 3

When you get to the end of the Silent Library inBaldur’s Gate 3, the only thing you’ll find is an empty pedestal and a riddle.
