How to use Strange Chunk of Amber in BG3
I thought the item was going to come into play eventually, perhaps as part of a crafting recipe, but the truth is the chunk of amberis only a decoy and has no utility. It was placed in the display case as a red herring, to mislead any thieves from finding the true Blood of Lathander.
In fact, after I succeeded a religious check when I picked up the chunk of amber,Shadowheartsaid “Is this the Blood of Lathander? A bit underwhelming for a relic”. Since there are no uses for it, you can sell it for 55 gold pieces.
Once you have picked it up, the quest log will update and say: “A fake artifact was disguised as the Blood of Lathander. We should keep looking for the true relic”. Now you will have to solve the puzzle of the two statues right next to the display case.
Hint: if one of them gets stuck, you can use Grease on it to make it move again.
