Umar Hills and Temple Ruins

Ok, the thing is I can't find the third piece of the Symbol of Amauntor.
(Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills)
I've already got Dawn Light and Sun Rays, can anyone tell me where the third piece is?

You get one at the tests. Then you get one when you talk to the ghost. You get the third one at the Indiana Jones like riddle.

check the room in which the shadow (ghost)asks for your help.

yes, i took the test with the statue, umm...but I killed the shadow. The one who wants you to take him over the stones with the letters on? He's pretty much gone... And wtf is the Indiana Jones riddle?

Indiana Jones riddle? Its fine if you kill the shadow, but follow Variol's advice more carefully and check the room in which you find him

The Indiana Jones riddle refers to a scene in the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", in which Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, needs to cross a floor of tiles. The only correct way to do this is by walking on specific tiles only. This was implemented in Baldur's Gate 2 as well (possibly as an ode to Indiana Jones from the Bioware-team).

The shadow you killed (near the stones with the letters on it) is the part corresponding with the Indiana Jones riddle.

Location of all three parts:

Give the Bones of Amauna to her ghost in order to receive the "Dawn's Light" piece of the symbol.
Answer the statue's questions correctly to receive the "Sun Ray" piece of the symbol.
Defeat the shadow near the lettered floor to get the "Lightstone" piece of the symbol.

All in all, you should follow the hints for third piece to get on with the game. Search for the shadow's remains and you'll find the piece. If you have the BG2 expansion pack Throne of Bhaal installed, then just hit the TAB-key to locate the body more quickly. Otherwise you're forced to mouse over the screen, unless, of course, your photographic memory helps you out on the location of the shadow's corpse.

Almost right, Link. The Lightstone is not on the shadow's body. The shadow hid it in its cell.

Ow dear. I think I made Quick Save there. Thanks for all your help, i'm sure i probably left the corpse where i killed the poor guy. i actually left out of boredom and started the valygar sphere thingy and i could sure use a hint on how to vanquish that red dragon too...*cute smile*
Thanks anyway
