If you have made your way into the Emerald Grove or the Goblin Camp in Baldur’s Gate 3, then you might have stumbled across the side quest titled “Find the Nightsong.” In this quest, you are tasked with hunting down the Nightsong, a poet who is located in the Underdark.

• Move the left circle three times
• Move the bottom circle one time
• Move the left circle two times
• Move the right circle two times
• Move the bottom circle one time
• Move the right circle two times

If you did this correctly, then your stone puzzle should look like mine in the screenshot above. Upon succeeding, the backdoor in the Defiled Temple will open, allowing you to walk through and see the Underdark for yourself.
