Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders

Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders is a quest in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by speaking with Sister Yannis in the Open Hand Temple.

Objectives

• Gather information about the murders.
  • We've been asked to look into the deaths of Father Lorgan and Brilgor at the Open Hand Temple. Sister Yannis, the temple's rector, believes Brilgor's been blamed for the crime too hastily by Investigator Valeria.
  • Sister Rose told us that Father Lorgan's corpse was missing a hand, cut off before he died. We should keep looking for more information.
  • We learned that Father Lorgan was frozen in place by some sort of paralytic poison before he died. We should keep looking for evidence.
  • Brother Donnick told us that Brilgor's body is out back in the cemetery, and Father Lorgan's is in the infirmary. We should check out both corpses for evidence.
  • By speaking with the dead, we learned that a dwarf clad in red killed both Father Lorgan and Brilgor. We need hard proof to exonerate Brilgor, however, and should check out the murder scene.
• Find the crime scene.
  • We learned that Father Lorgan uses the temple crypt to hide imperilled refugees. We should examine the crypt to learn more.
  • The corpse of Brilgor mentioned that he and Father Lorgan were murdered in a hidden tunnel beneath the Open Hand Temple - we can access it through the temple crypt.
  • Brother Donnick told us that Father Lorgan's corpse was found in the crypt underneath the temple kitchens. We could look there to find more information.
• Investigate the crime scene.
  • A trail of blood ran from the Open Hand Temple crypt into a secret passage through nearby caves. We should follow it to find more evidence.
  • We discovered the name of Father Lorgan's killer - Dolor. A name alone will not be enough to exonerate Brilgor, however.
  • We found the weapon used to slay Father Lorgan and Brilgor - a dagger steeped in paralytic poison. It's good evidence - but we need something else to prove this crime wasn't just a murderous refugee.
• Find the lock to fit the flower key.
  • One of the doppelganger assassins underneath the Open Hand Temple had a strange, flowery key. We should find what it opens.
  • We found a murder weapon and flowery key underneath the Open Hand Temple. We should check what the key opens.
• Investigate Fraygo's Flophouse and find a use for the flower key.
  • Fraygo's Flophouse is adorned with flowery motifs matching the key we found underneath the Open Hand Temple. We should see what the key unlocks.
  • A key in Fraygo's Flophouse perfectly matches one we found under the Open Hand Temple. We should see if we can find more evidence about Father Lorgan's murder in the flophouse.
  • We learned from a dead doppelganger assassin that the flowery key we found unlocks something in a flophouse - something that will reveal Dolor's secrets.
• Report your findings to Investigator Valeria.
  • We found the lair of a Bhaalist murderer in Fraygo's Flophouse. A target list in the lair details the killer's instructions - slay specific Baldurians and frame the Absolute for it. Father Lorgan, priest of the nearby Open Hand Temple, is named on the list. Perhaps we should warn someone.
• Investigator Valeria wasn't pleased about it, but she accepted our evidence exonerating Brilgor. She asked us to bring the Target List to Gauntlet Devella in the Lower City to help solve another open case.
• Investigator Valeria is gone for good - as is our chance of clearing Brilgor's name.
• Investigator Valeria quickly realised Brilgor was not to blame for Father Lorgan's murder after her kidnap by the Bhaalist cult - his name is clear.
• We didn't have time to clear Brilgor's name before we had to face our ultimate foe.
