Steps to solve Thorm Mausoleum button puzzle in Baldur’s Gate 3

Thorm Mausoleum button puzzle is one of the easier puzzles in Baldur’s Gate 3. If your characters didn’t pass the perception checks to reveal any of the buttons, we recommend reloading your save and then trying again. Without passing the checks, you won’t be able to press the buttons.

The paintings have names, Grief, Moonrise Towers, and General. The order of the buttons in the Thorm Mausoleum puzzle is Moonrise Towers, Grief, General. Read below for more details.

Here is the order you need to press the buttons for the Thorm Mausoleum puzzle in BG3:

  • If you’re standing and facing the lone painting on the northernmost wall, you need to press the button on your left first. This is located under the painting of Moonrise Towers.
