Acolyte is a Background in Baldur's Gate 3. Backgrounds are special traits or expertises that affect the starting Proficiencies the player has and also add two bonus background features. Backgrounds may also decide how your character be treated by certain NPCs, and how can they handle certain situations.

Anyone have any luck with ‘A Unified Spirit’ in the current patch?
Can’t find anything online, with a lot of these broken (maybe removed) inspirations you can usually do the thing in question, but you won’t be rewarded with the inspiration. With this one, however, I cannot find a way to pray at all! Maybe class specific (not life/trickster cleric, at least) or entirely cut?

I found it weird that no Acolyte inspiration procced after getting the Blood of Lathander. While inspirations in Act 1 are quite plentiful, I wonder if they are fleshing them out in other acts still (or maybe I somehow took the Lathander line in a direction that doesn't result in the inspiration? hmm...)

Anybody have success with Justice Sees All and how to obtain it in the latest release

Can't seem to get "The Final Scribe's Boon" inspiration even after getting the Amulet of lost voices. Am I missing something?

Another inspiration I found for Acolyte is "Acolytes of the Demonweb Pits" which says "Persuade the spiders in Grymforge to remain faithful to Lolth."
‘A Unified Spirit’
Unsure if this was addressed in a recent patch, all prior info I’ve found says it was only possible with a cleric of Helm. Can confirm Cleric of Selûne can also achieve this through prayer dialogue.
