Wondering what can silence the Nightsong in Baldur’s Gate 3? This puzzle is a key part of the Gauntlet of Shar, specifically the Silent Library, and what’s more, it’s a very confusing puzzle with no immediate solution. Yet be bewildered no more! In this guide, we’re going to show you how you can solve this puzzle and discover what can silence the Nightsong with the help of a specific book. Read on and let’s get started solving this puzzle.
What can Silence the Nightsong in Baldur's Gate 3?
To silence the Nightsong you'll need the book you can find in the Silent Library. After defeating the justiciar duellists, disarm the trapped bookcases all around you and search the second bookcase on the right as you enter. You find Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger, a book which can then be inserted into a pedestal at the back of the library just past the grate.
To unlock the grate, you'll need to use a lockpick. I used Baldur's Gate 3 companion Astarion for the job, since his sleight of hand proficiency is a huge bonus for the dice throws. If you’re not having luck lockpicking, the lever on the other side can be hit with ranged attacks to activate the grate. Once unlocked, just click on the pedestal in the middle of the room, open your inventory, and click and drag the correct book into the square before hitting "confirm". This should cause the wall just behind the pedestal to open up and reveal a secret chamber, where Shadowheart will find the Spear of Night. You can also find the Dark Justiciar Half-Plate and Dark Justiciar Helmet here.
