Mountain Pass	Rosymorn Monastery Trail
Rosymorn Monastery

The Mountain Pass is divided into the Rosymorn Monastery Trail and the Rosymorn Monastery itself. There is also a tiny part of the Mountain Pass in a separate region, located beside Waukeen's Rest in the Risen Road.

Mountain Pass Map

A small part of the Mountain Pass can be found in the same region map as the Wilderness area, west of Waukeen's Rest. Here, you'll find the githyanki soldiers blocking the way to the Mountain Pass region.

Rosymorn Monastery Trail

Upon entering the region from either the Goblin Camp or near Waukeen's Rest, you'll end up in the Rosymorn Monastery Trail.

This area contains the entrance to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, which if entered, will begin the Act 2 of the game.

Rosymorn Monastery

The Rosymorn Monastery is located northeast of the trail, and contains the entrance to Crèche Y'llek, the githyanki creche that Lae'zel wants to go to as part of the Find a Cure quest.

This place is a ruins, and you'll have to locate alternate entrances, jump across gaps, and destroy barriers to navigate this place.

Mountain Pass Points of Interest

Sarth Baretha: Elaborate Slate

Sarth Baretha: Elaborate Slate
Coordinates: (-140, 559)

The only point of interest in the tiny part of the Mountain Pass is the squad of githyanki soldiers blocking the way, led by Kith'rak Voss. To get the item of interest from them, the Elaborate Slate, you'll have to fight them. Act hostile in the conversation with Voss, or just instantly attack without talking.

Don't worry about Voss and his dragon, since they will flee the scene if you choose to attack. The squad left will be led by Sarth Baretha instead.

You can loot Sarth Baretha for the Elaborate Slate, which turns into the Githyanki Map if you have Lae'zel in your party. This progresses Lae'zel's quest and reveals the creche's location in the Mountain Pass.

Stained Glass Puzzle: Ceremonial Weapons

Stained Glass Puzzle
Coordinates: (75, 74)

In the middle of the monastery, you'll find a room with a Stained Glass Window on the floor. This is a puzzle, where you need to collect four different types of weapons and put them in the correct pedestals (you'll know if the crystals on the pedestal glow).

Examine the stained glass window to find out which weapon goes into which pedestal, then examine the plaques in the pedestals to find out which is which.

Note that while it seems like you need to collect the Ceremonial Weapons throughout the monastery, you don't actually need to, and can actually use any non-ceremonial weapons instead! For example, instead of finding the Ceremonial Mace, you can just get a regular Rusty Mace and put it in the correct pedestal; it will still work!

We'll still list the Ceremonial Weapons here, though, in case you want to find the weapons needed, or if you want these weapons for yourself.
