Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems BUG : Moon puzzzle in defiled temple broken

It looks like I'm stuck in the game. The moon puzzle has parts missing. In the screenshot below, you see there's a full moon missing at the top left.
But as I turn the wheels, other moons go missing and reappear, but I never have a full set.
Sometimes it looks like there are two moons on top of eachother, as its image flickers between black and white.
What now. Game over ?

The visual effect happens to me too, but the puzzle can be solved anyway. Supposedly, you can also pick the lock to open the way, but I don't know where it is. Ultimate backup: you pass near the tunnel on the way into that room. You should be able to jump there with Feather Fall.

I think a reload from an older game may fix the flickering textures? I had this issue too on one playthrough - I can't remeber if I was able to fix it. On my first playthrough , I picked the lock anyway - just walk carefully around the map triggering perception checks and you should find it. I sometimes can't be bothered with puzzles, so I am glad they provided that as an alternative.

Thanks for the info. I found the locked lever, but to my great astonishment, all my thieves tools have gone, so there's no one who can pick this lock.
Not long ago, I had at least 2 lockpicking tools set per person, and I cannot remember having missed 8 lockpicks. Another great mistery.

I went back to an old save and will try if I can do the puzzle again. This old save also has no lockpicking tools anymore, so hope it works.

There are also (at least) three other entry points to the Underdark.

Where's the third? I know about...

1. 2. 3. 4.

The Zhent one is the one the fewest people have found. It's pretty tough to find as there are no obvious indicators, unless you count a wolf guarding a wall.
