The Shar Altar in Baldur's Gate 3

Once you reach the Sharran Sanctuary, you will encounter a trio of statues, symbolizing Intelligence, Charisma, and Wisdom. Upon interacting with the plaques associated with each statue, you will face challenges that require successful Saving Throw (Dice Roll) attempts.

After successfully overcoming all three challenges, a concealed door will be unlocked. Once you enter the subsequent chamber, you will come across the Shar Altar. This altar will prompt you to perform a brief ritual. You will be provided with a Dagger to offer a small amount of your blood to the altar.

Following this action, you will be granted rewards, including a Scroll of Revivify, a Scroll of Blight, a Potion of Angelic Reprieve, and an Elixir of Necrotic Resistance. Finally, if you decide to retain the Dagger, it will provoke a confrontation against the Sharran Sentinels.
