Sarin's skeleton Act 3. The coffin with the remains is guarded by the magician Aelis, who is going to conduct the burial ceremony - it was he who killed the girl along with Bedeki: previously, all three of them were the best thieves of Baldur's Gate. The puzzle is not obvious, since it is quite difficult to find the missing skull in the skeleton, and when you try to return it to its place, Aelis will start a battle.
In this guide, we will explain what needs to be inserted into Saryn's skeleton in BG3, where to find the skull and how to safely pick it up, as well as what rewards are due for the hidden quest and whether it is necessary to kill Aelis Sirius.
Where to find Saryn's skeleton in Baldur's Gate 3
Skeleton Sarin (X: -125; Y: 830) is located in the northern part of the Lower City sewers - in front of the coffin with him you will see Aelis Siriyasius along with a crowd of creatures made of fat. If you interact with the skeleton, you will realize that you can insert an object into it.
At the first meeting with Aelis, a dialogue will take place, during which you can convince the man not to start a battle and go peacefully (through persuasion, intimidation or deception). However, as soon as Saryn's head is discovered, the mage will become hostile along with the entire crowd of his monsters, so we advise you to take a more advantageous position and kill the half-elf drow in advance.
How to solve Saryn's skeleton puzzle in BG3
To solve the riddle with Sarin's skeleton, you need to find the skull and return it to its place in order to calm the spirit of the dead girl.
Where to find Sarin's skull
Saryn's head in Baldur's Gate 3 is hidden behind To the silent penitents of Bedeki, which is located just west of the Underground City Ruins teleport. To get there, head north through the Lower City sewers.
When you are at the right point (X: -154; Y: 940), will have to steal Saryn's skull from wallet behind Bedeki's back, this can be done in several ways:
- Go to mode stealth and simply pull out the item or take the whole wallet. At this point, you can talk to Bedeki with another character to distract him.
- Use magic hand and steal the skull - this trick is mainly used by wizards, sorcerers, sorcerers, bards and githyanki with high elves.
- Kill Bedeki, but in this case, buy the necessary goods in advance.
When you pick up the skull, a Headless Ghost will appear - this is Sarin.
How to use Sarin's skull
Saryn's skull needs to be inserted into her skeleton, which lies in the coffin behind Aelis Sirius.
When you start climbing the stairs to the half-elf, both he and all the creatures he summons - fat mephits, fat balls and several fat elementals - will immediately become aggressive.
- All monsters are resistant to poison and vulnerable to fire attacks, but Sirius takes half the damage from fire.
- There is a high chance that when attacked by enemies, the fat surface will immediately catch fire if you attack Aelis close (due to the effect of his cloak).
When you get rid of the enemies, go to the coffin and interact with the skeleton to find Sarin’s skull in your inventory and "Insert" his remains. Once this happens, receive your reward for the secret quest.
