The Strange Chunk of Amber in BG3 looks like a useless item at first glance. However, this item serves a much greater purpose as it aids you in finding the entrance of a hall where Blood of Lathander Mace is hidden.
The Strange Chunk of Amber is a decoy item, and once you acquire it, the path to Blood of Lathander mace will be illuminated on your map. In this guide, we will help you find Strange Chunk of Amber and how you can use it to locate the best weapon in BG3.
BG3 Strange Chunk of Amber location
The Strange Chunk of Amber is present inside the Inquisitor’s chamber in Creche Y’llek. To reach Creche Y’llek, you need to go through the Rosymorn Monastery by choosing the Mountain Pass.
However, you are not welcome at Creche Y’llek at all, as this is a Githyanki stronghold. You can access this area by having Lae’zel in your party and letting her assume the command. The only other way is to fight through and kill everyone inside the Monastery.
Once you reach the Inquisitor’s room by either defeating Githyanki Captain inside her quarters or by using stealth, turn left to locate a display case at the coordinates (X: 1330, Y: -660). Interact with this case to obtain the Strange Chunk of Amber. While you are at it, loot Hoarfrost Boots from the same display case.
Strange Chunck of Amber uses in BG3
Once you remove Strange Chunk of Amber from the display case, a false wall will disappear right in front of you. The Blood of Lathander quest will be updated at this point, and you will see a marked area on your map. If you haven’t started the quest yet, you will be asked to pass a religion check while holding Strange Chunk of Amber. Upon passing the check successfully, you can now proceed with the Blood of Lathander quest.
Go to the marked area and solve the statue puzzle to gain access to the room with Blood of Lathander mace. You will need to complete a few more puzzles here before you can get your hands on this legendary weapon. Once you have the mace, it can act as a helpful weapon due to its ability to restore 2-12 HP when its wielder’s health is almost zero.
Besides this, the Strange Chunk of Amber has no specific use. You can sell it for 55 gold to the merchants if you have high enough Charisma.
