The Defiled Temple (also known as the Temple of Selûne) is a Location within the Shattered Sanctum in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It serves as one of the entrances to the Underdark.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Defiled Temple is an old Selûnite temple that has long been abandoned. It can be accessed through its main door in Priestess Gut's quarters in the Shattered Sanctum X: 253 Y: -7, through a cave mouth in the spider pen, or through a small hole in the Zhentarim's stock room.
Gut's room[edit | edit source]
Gut's room is guarded by Polma (and Gut if she knocked out the party). The gilded chest near the bed contains an 
Amulet of Misty Step at X: 386 Y: 8. The 
Selûnite Journal is nearby, which provides information on the moon tile puzzle farther in the temple.
Moon tile puzzle[edit | edit source]
In the north-eastern section of the temple is a room with four tiles in the centre. The puzzle is solved by rotating the tiles such that the new moon icons (black circles) are all on the southern-most ring. Upon completion, a door opens to reveal a long descent into the Underdark.
