Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Solve the Chamber of Strategy in the Wyrmway

Alright, fellow adventurers, let’s dive into the intriguing world of Baldur’s Gate 3 and tackle the Chamber of Strategy puzzle. Strategy is the name of the game, and trust me, it’s not just for the likes of Minsc and his space hamster. We’ve got some thinking to do, so let’s get down to it!

How to Get to the Chamber of Strategy

Getting to the Chamber of Strategy is no cakewalk, my friends. You’ll stumble upon it in the Wyrmway after rescuing Grand Duke Ravengard during Wyll’s quest, The Blade of Frontiers. The Duke spills the beans about the dragon Ansur and sends you on a quest to find its lair. Pro tip – if things go south for the Duke, you can still access the Wyrmway without his fancy book. You can find the entrance in the Wyrm’s Rock Prison – just zap the dragon heads with lightning, and voila! Follow the path, and you’ll reach the Chamber of Strategy.

Now, here’s where the real brain workout begins. Chat up the statue of Balduran in the Chamber of Strategy, and he’ll drop the bomb – take the Black King Piece in two turns. Easy, right? But what if I told you there’s a smoother way to pull this off?

Check out the Black King Piece; it’s a tough cookie resistant to everything but lightning damage. Double the damage with lightning, and you’re golden. Bring in a couple of warlocks or use scrolls – whatever tickles your fancy. Just make sure you’re in Turn Base mode to keep that lightning coming without interruptions.

You’ve got three shots at checkmating in two turns. Make a move that doesn’t reset the board, and you’re on the right track. For the chess newbies, checking means putting the black king at risk, and checkmating means trapping it with no way out.
