Basically, the orbs are connected to the trials you will get in the Gauntlet of Shar. There are three trials plus one final gem, which you will find in Yurgir's lair. First, find Balthazar, who will get you out there to find Thorm's relic. Solve a trial and you will get a Umbral gem, which you can place in the pedestals you can find around the gauntlet.

Here is how to solve the three trials:

• Soft Step trial: get one party member ahead before you start the trial, to disarm all the traps. Then leave them there and get Shadowheart to activate the trial, so once activated it'll be just over.
• Self Same Trial: you'll fight shadow versions of yourselves, along with the whole party. If you get everyone back to camp, at least you can just fight yourself and that'll be quicker.
• Faith Step Trial: just walk carefully across the abyss with one party member alone, you should be able to get to the gem quickly.

Finally, Yurgir is in the eastern wing of the Gauntlet. You can ask him to try and kill off his henchmen, which should make the fight slightly easier as you can just direct all the attacks toward him. Even if you don't convince him that suicide is a great option, that should still make the fight easier. Get the last orb and use it on the pedestal.

That's all you have to do to solve the Gauntlet of Shar. For more guides on Baldur's Gate 3, why not check out the best mods?
