You want the south statue to face west and the north statue to look back the way you came.

In the Daybreak Chamber area, players will need to progress through multiple chambers, each with different traps and puzzles. Let’s examine each chamber in turn.

For the first chamber, destroy the blue crystals on your left.

In the second chamber, send your best trap disarmer towards the trap while avoiding the waves and pass a DC14 Sleight of Hand check. Move left of the trap and you’ll find the next chamber.

In the third chamber, players will need to disarm another trap and then climb down from the north ledge and destroy the crystal there with ranged attacks.

This will let you access the final room, within which you can find the Blood of Lathander. Interact with Control Panel and insert the Dawnmaster’s Crest there to disable the traps and pick up the Blood of Lathander.
