The quest is also related to Shadowheart’s Daughter of Darkness quest. Thus, she will be a great addition to the team.
Furthermore, one of the Mausoleum’s objectives is connected to Astarion’s Pale Elf quest.

Here are steps to complete the Thorm’s Mausoleum in Baldur’s Gate 3.
1. Reach The Topmost Chamber
First, players must reach the topmost chamber. Here, they will see a coffin and three murals.
Furthermore, players will also find several traps in the area. To disarm the traps, make sure to ungroup your party.
Then, use Astarion to disarm the traps. However, this works only if he has the highest sleight-of-hand skill.
2. Interact With The Murals
After you disable all the traps, you must interact with the murals.
You can interact with the murals in the following order.
- First, interact with Splendor which shows Moonrise Towers.
- Then, you must interact with Tragedy; the mural shows Thorm crying over his dead daughter.
- Lastly, interact with Infamy; it shows Thorm sitting on a throne and looking at his audience with ill intent.
- Finally, a doorway will open after the players interact with the murals in the correct order.
- This doorway allows the players to ride an elevator to the Gauntlet of Shar.
