This guide about BG3 Spineshudder Amulet can be helpful to cast powerful spells. Players might skip it in their journey so here is a complete walkthrough.

Baldur’s Gate 3 | BG3: Spineshudder Amulet

To get Spineshudder Amulet, players will need to pass the Act 1. Including all the quests of Underdark and Mountain Pass locations. Once you are ready for Act 2, the first destination is Moonrise Towers. You can reach the location on your own by exploring the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Or you can travel with Drider Kar’niss. Once you reach the Moonrise Towers, here are the steps you need to follow next:

#1 Enter Ketheric Room

Make your way to the first floor. There will be the Ketheric’s room. But it will be locked and protected by the Cultists of the Absolute. Defeat them with your party. It’s a pro tip to have a handy-skilled and charismatic character in your party for this fight. Now, you need to enter the room.

Find Balthazar Quest

The best approach is to talk with Z’rell and get the Find Balthazar quest. In this quest, she will allow you to enter her office and get a Moonlantern for her. Head towards her office and unlock it with a good lockpicking skill character. Once the door is unlocked, you will confront a few guards and a Scrying Eye.

The best approach is to convince the guards that you belong there using the Charisma Check. This will avoid the fight with Scrying Eye as the fight might grow larger with more allies joining them. So, the best option is to use the Charisma Check for easy passage in the future. Now, get back to the Kethric’s room.

#2 Inside Kethric Room to Get Spineshudder Amulet

Ask our most dexterous character to pick a lock for you to enter her room. Here, you will be welcomed by her dog, Squire. You choose to fight her or use a check to calm her down. Reach the coordinates of the room (X: -169 Y: -198) and reach the door. A pro tip is to save the game before entering the door. Unlock the door with Thieves’ Tools and there will be a chest inside. This chest will be a Mimic and you will have to fight it.

Mimic Fight

This Mimic isn’t hard to defeat. After a round or two, it will be defeated. You can select a tank-type character like Fighter or a character with Action Surge and a 2x attack. One of the easiest approaches is to use the Smokepowder Bombs.

Throw a sack of bombs in front of the chest. Use an arrow like Smokepowder Arrow or Arrow of Fire to ignite a fire in it. This will create a damage of 50 and blast enough explosives to provide damage. Once it’s defeated, you can now loot the chest. Inside the chest will be the Spinshudder Amulet.

How to Save Mimic Bug

A number of players have faced the problem that Mimic doesn’t appear. If you appear to be one of them, reload the saved game that you did before entering the door.
