Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints
How can I get past the door?
1 of 7: You need to find the 3 pieces of the symbol of Amaunator.
2 of 7: One can be found by answering the riddles of the head in the early section of the temple.
3 of 7: The actual answers to the head's questions are found around the temple -- one in a pillar in the room to the north of the first sunstone, one in a room to the north of a lava pit, and one in a statue to the north of the letter puzzle.
4 of 7: A second piece of the symbol can be obtained by helping the spectres.
5 of 7: The third one can be found in a small niche in a room to the right of the statue with a small bowl. The room has a shadow in it that tries to trick you. Kill it.
6 of 7: Once you have all 3 pieces, bring it back to the statue with the bowl, and put all 3 pieces in.
7 of 7: You will get the symbol of Amaunator, and you can now pass through the final door.
