How to Reach Gauntlet of Shar
To access the Gauntlet of Shar from the Grand Mausoleum, also known as the Thorm Mausoleum, you must activate a hidden passage. This is achieved by pressing the buttons located beneath three paintings in a specific sequence: Moonrise Towers, Grief, and General.

Deal with Raphael's Old Enemy (Umbral Gem 1)
You can obtain one Umbral Gem by defeating Yurgir, located in the eastern section of the temple. You have the option to ask him to recite his contract, identify the loophole within it, and manipulate him into inadvertently dispatching his own minions, and even himself.

Soft Step Trial (Umbral Gem 2)
To progress through the maze unnoticed by the shadows, it’s advisable to employ an invisibility spell and activate turn-based mode. However, exercise caution as there are traps to contend with.

To access the final gate, you can either locate a Soft-Step Key (located on a table within a concealed room) or use lockpicking skills. Alternatively, you may opt to employ Dimension Door to bypass this trial.

Self Same Trial (Umbral Gem 3)
This trial necessitates a battle against a duplicate of your party. To simplify the encounter, undress your characters before offering blood to the ritual bowl, and then re-equip them just before the battle commences. The clone team possesses the capability to move in and out of the shadows.

Moreover, each time you strike a clone of a party member, that member will be afflicted with a debuff that decreases their ability scores. Defeating the clone will eliminate this debuff. Following the battle, you can retrieve the Killer’s Sweetheart ring from the ground.

Faith Leap Trial (Umbral Gem 4)
To pinpoint Shar's intended path for players, gather your party near the trial's entrance and direct the camera towards the shadowy region beyond the altar. Keen-eyed adventurers will notice the presence of purple blocks nestled within the apparent void between the three statues. It's worth noting that these blocks vanish upon a party member's approach, necessitating players to memorize their positions for a secure journey across the chamber.
