Ancient Menhirs is a side quest in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, available in Coast Way Crossing during chapter eight.
Walkthrough[]
1. Talk to Prin in Coast Way Crossing.
2. Find all six menhirs in the area. Using a character with at least 16 Charisma, sing to each menhir to activate it. If your Charisma is lower than 16, the following will occur:
- Three of the menhirs will damage the character that interacts with them.
- One of the menhirs will summon a Stone Golem (8000XP)
- One of the menhirs will summon a Wraith (2000XP)
- One of the menhirs will give a riddle, for which the correct answer is "Wind, River, Tree".
Note: Console players going for achievements or trophies must deliberately use a low Charisma character, such as Dynaheir, Viconia or Minsc, to trigger the riddle, as answering it correctly is required for the Riddlemaster achievement.
3. When the last menhir is activated, Crommus will appear. He will inform you about a treasure cache located in the Dwarven Dig Site; this cache will only appear after you have talked to Crommus. Crommus will tell you that Karnass had arranged Carline to marry Artipheon.
Crommus’s cache is located in the north-eastern most corner of the 1st level of the dwarven dig site, at the end of the dead-end passageway just north of the tunnel down to the library.
4. In the cache is the Bard Hat, the Tangled Strings, the Star-Strewn Boots and Crommus's Capelet.
5. Return to Prin and tell her what you have learned about the menhirs. She will give you the Reed of Echoes.

Bugs[]
BUG: The quest cannot be completed if a character with less than 16 Charisma failed to impress one or more of the menhirs. If you provide the answer "Anger, Insanity, Sorrow" or "Wind, River, Tree" to the riddle the menhir will successfully activate. The menhirs could not be interacted with again after triggering the failed response or picking a different answer to the riddle.

BUG: Only companions that were in your party when you arrived at Coast Way Crossing and were still in your party when you first spoke to Prin can interact with the menhirs.
