Blood of Lathander

Item from baldurs-gate-3 by Larian Studios

A legendary mace hidden in Rosymorn Monastery that radiates sunlight, heals the wielder, and devastates undead — protected by a solar trap that will annihilate the entire monastery if you try to take it without solving the puzzle.

The Blood of Lathander is one of the most powerful weapons in the game and one of the best-designed acquisition sequences. It sits in a vault behind a puzzle involving three ceremonial weapons placed on an altar. Get it wrong and a Lathander-powered defense system charges a solar blast that will vaporize the monastery and everything in it — including the Githyanki crèche below. As a weapon, it's a cleric's dream: radiant damage, blinding light, bonus healing, and the ability to prevent the wielder from dying once per long rest. Against the undead armies of Act 2, it's devastatingly effective. The Blood of Lathander rewards players who read lore, explore thoroughly, and respect the world's history — exactly the kind of behavior BG3 is designed to encourage.
