How to Solve the Emerald Grove Rune Puzzle in BG3

In order to solve the puzzle, make your way to Emerald Grove, which is located in the middle of Druid Grove. After reaching the Emerald Grove, you will find a wooden statue with four slabs on four sides. All four slabs require a kind of rune to be combined into them. Although each of the slabs has a rune placed in it, there is an empty slab that needs to be combined by collecting the Rune of the Wolf.

Just beside the statue, you will meet an NPC called Nettie. Interact with Nettie and let her know about the mindflare parasite. Nettie will then take you to the Enclaved Library. Follow Nettie to enter the Enclave Library. Inside the library, you will find Rath, who is the ruler of this location.

You can find the Rune of the Wolf in Rath. Now, there are three ways to get the Rune of the Wolf from Rath: either you can pickpocket him, you can kill him, or you can do some extra questing to save Halsin and bring him to Rath to take the Rune of the Wolf.

However, pickpocketing Rath is the easiest way. As killing him would turn everyone around the location hostile towards you. Make sure to save the game and choose a character who is good at sneaking. Pickpocket Rath and immediately get out of the Enclaved Library and come near the statue.

Now, put the Rune of the Wolf in the slab with the Empty Socket and combine it. Sequentially, combine the other slabs in the following order: Rune of the Wolf, Rune of the Eagle, Rune of the Bear, and Rune of the Elk. This will make the statue move and open a stair to the underground.
