Bodhi's Heart

Bodhi's Heart is a quest-related miscellaneous item in Shadows of Amn. As its name suggests, it is the heart of the cursed elf outcast turned vampire, Bodhi, cut from her chest once she has met her final death at the hands of a Wooden Stake.

Acquisition
If the optional quest The final battle with Bodhi is triggered when the player returns to Athkatla] as part of the chapter 6 main quest Retrieve the Rhynn Lanthorn, Bodhi's Heart will be found in Bodhi's coffin, located on the 2nd level of Bodhi's Lair, after Bodhi has been defeated and slain for good with the use of a Wooden Stake. It will not be present if the player has not engaged in a romance, and thusly not triggered the kidnapping of the romanced party member and their conversion into a vampire.

Involvement
Bodhi's heart is required as part of a quest to remove the curse of vampirism from the party member romanced by Gorion's Ward. After slaying both Bodhi and the vampirized party member, a trapped chest in a small room to the northwest of the chamber where Bodhi is confronted on level 2 of her lair will give up several books on vampirism, annotated with a comment by Bodhi that she needs to confront the monks at the Temple of Oghma in the Athkatla Docks.

If the player visits the monks with the books, the heart, and the body of their lover in their inventory, they will be directed to a book trader in Imnesvale. He can be found in the tavern, and will reveal an ancient ritual calling upon Amaunator that allows one to cure vampirism, requiring the body of the vampire to be cured and the heart of the vampire that turned them.

The player will need to head to the Temple Ruins of Amaunator that also lie in the greater Umar Hills region and enter the Ruined Temple itself, seeking out the statue of Amaunator within, which can be distinguished by the way it holds its arms out as if to cradle something.

Once the player has placed both Bodhi's heart and the body of their slain lover within the statue's arms, the ritual will begin automatically, and the party member will be restored fully and returned to life.
