The Sorcerous Vault in Baldur’s Gate 3 is where the wizard Lorroakan stores his most prized magical items. Located in the Lower City and accessible in Act 3, this treasure trove of artifacts is a must-visit for any adventurer. This guide will explain how to enter the Sorcerous Vault and solve the door puzzle within.
Entering the Sorcerous Vault
The easiest way to access the Sorcerous Vault is through Sorcerous Sundries in the center of the Lower City. There are two main routes you can take:
Through Ramazith’s Tower
You can enter the vault through Ramazith’s Tower as part of the Nightsong quest by telling Lorroakan’s projection at the main counter that you have information. Once inside, jump down the floating furniture to the lower level, look for the Weave button on the outer rim of the room labeled ‘vault,’ and press it to be teleported directly into the Sorcerous Vault.
Through Sorcerous Sundries
Alternatively, you can access the vault via the store itself. On the upper level, unlock the door to your left near the portals leading to Ramazith’s Tower. Inside, activate the clasped book on the bookshelf to your right to create a portal that takes you straight into the vault. Although this route might take longer, you will land close to the display case containing the vault’s first legendary book: the Red Knight’s Final Stratagem.
Solve the Door Puzzle
After looting the vault, you’ll encounter a room with a portal and a door labeled ‘Ramazith,’ leading to the main vaults. Inside, there are three doors: Elminster, Karsus, and Silverhand. To unlock these doors, you must solve the door puzzle while being cautious of traps:
Unlock the Elminster Vault:
- Go through the Silverhand door.
- Enter the Evocation door.
- Find the Wish door behind you and pull the lever.
- Return to the original room through any door.
The Elminster door will now be open, allowing you to collect treasures like the Tharciate Codex. To open the Karsus door, follow the same steps.
Conclusion
With these instructions, you should be able to navigate through the Sorcerous Vault with ease, gathering valuable items and completing side quests in Baldur’s Gate 3. Good luck and happy adventuring!
