Q: How do I solve the Chamber of Strategy puzzle in Baldur's Gate 3?

A: To complete the Chamber of Strategy trial, your aim is to make "the dark king fall in two turns." You can achieve this either by using Gale, the wizard in your party, who, based on the board's configuration, will guide you on specific moves to checkmate the opposing king. Alternatively, you can exploit the Black King's vulnerability to lightning by using spells like Shocking Grasp or Lightning Bolt to damage the piece. Successful completion will be indicated by a light beam shining on the instruction statue.

Q: Can Gale help me in the Chamber of Strategy puzzle?

A: Absolutely! Gale, with his high intelligence and familiarity with chess, can provide guidance. Depending on the board's setup, he might instruct you, for example, to move the white queen to a specific position that would lead the opponent into a checkmate. However, keep in mind that Gale might suggest different solutions if the board is arranged differently.

Q: What if I don't have Gale or lightning spells? Can I still solve the puzzle?

A: Certainly. If you are proficient at chess, you might be able to decipher the solution on your own without the need for Gale's assistance or employing lightning spells. Successfully taking down the King piece in the puzzle is the main goal, regardless of the method you choose.
