When players explore the area known as Challenge Shar in Baldur’s Gate 3, they meet Yurgir, a massive creature bound by a contract that prevents him from wiping out the Justicars within the dungeon. This guide explains how to locate the final Justicar, how Yurgir can be freed from his contract, and how to obtain the dark gem needed to progress.
Riddles and puzzles in Baldur’s Gate 3
To obtain the dark gem, which serves as a key item, players must complete the quest to defeat the ancient foe Raphael. The gem is a special artifact that enables activating the elevator at the pedestal of reckoning in the Challenge Ball area, a crucial step in advancing the storyline.
Entering Challenge Shar triggers the pursuit of the main objective. Raphael appears at the camp to propose a mission: locate the sworn enemy hidden deep within the dungeon’s graves. As exploration continues and the map is studied, traces of massacres and fallen Justicars appear. Following the map marker will lead to Yurgir’s location.
During dialogue with Yurgir, several choices unfold. It is advisable to avoid angering him, since the encounter can become very difficult if strength is insufficient. Negotiating with the monster and accepting a task to find a suitable weapon or vehicle for the upcoming battle can significantly smooth the path to victory.
Where to find the last Justicar and free Yurgir from the contract
The next step involves descending into the ruins or using the elevator to reach the central chamber. If difficulties arise, players can refer to visual references in the guide for orientation. A group of rodents is located to the right, in a hole, and must be faced with caution. These foes appear with each new round, so it is best to eliminate them early. The rodents possess only two health units, making a well-placed magic arrow especially effective, as one shot can eliminate each monster.
After the rodents are defeated, the final Justicar joins the combat. A confrontation unfolds, yielding items such as a large shield and a Justicar’s scimitar. The battle concludes with a cutscene featuring Raphael and Yurgir, and the monster surrenders his loot to the player, though the primary reward is the dark gem that enables crossing to the other side using the pedestal of reckoning in the center of the location.
Following the confrontation, the player returns to Yurgir to complete the exchange. The sequence culminates with the access to additional gear and the critical dark gem, unlocking further progression within Challenge Shar and the surrounding storyline.
