The Dank Crypt Puzzle in BG3

To first talk about how to solve the puzzle, let’s talk about what the exact trap is first. As mentioned, there are many ways to head inside the Dank Crypt. The easiest way to find the Puzzle inside is to go through the Ancient Door.

There are other ways, like fighting through bandits and entering the Crypt from inside the Chapel or just jumping through the collapsed hole (the hardest option). If you do opt for either of these options, you enter the large door to the right to enter a room with a Sarcophagus in the middle. This is where the Puzzle starts.

Dank Crypt Is Full Of Surprises

The room with the Sarcophagus is filled with traps of Grease and Fire Shooting Dragon Heads on either side of the left and right wall. A lot of perception checks are required to detect all of these traps. There is also a trap on the Sarcophagus itself that triggers all the aforementioned traps.

Traps on the ground will trigger Grease and slow your movement, while the Dragon Heads will burn you to death. Let’s talk about how you solve this trap and puzzle.

Solution to Dank Crypt Puzzle

There are many ways to solve this trap, some are straightforward, and others require you to do some trickery.

The easiest way to solve the trap is to disarm the trap on the Sarcophagus. You will require a decent check on a Trap Disarm Kit with Sleight of Hand. Once you disarm that, all you have to do is walk out safely, and that’s that.

Other ways to solve the traps can involve putting vases on the Grease traps to stop them from triggering and immediately pressing the button in case you fail the disarm the Sarcophagus. Turn-Based Mode makes this process easier in case of Failure. If you can stop the Grease traps from triggering, you can just walk out before the room kills you.

Opening the Sarcophagus nets you an Engraved Key (that you can use to open the other Heavy Door) and the neat, Uncommon Spear.

So that is how you solve the Dank Crypt Puzzle and stay tuned for more info on BG3.
