The '''Zhentarim Basement''' (also known as the '''Zhentarim Hideout''') is a [[location]] in [[Act One]]. It is a hidden area beneath [[Waukeen's Rest]] that is run by the [[Zhentarim]].  
The '''Zhentarim Basement''' (also known as the '''Zhentarim Hideout''') is a [[Location]] in [[Chapter One]]. It is an interior area within [[The Risen Road]] region, located within [[Waukeen's Rest]].{{SpoilerWarning}}


==Overview==
== Waypoints ==
The Zhentarim Basement is accessed through a barn on the western side of Waukeen's Rest. Inside is a jumpy man named [[Salazon]], who will ask for a password. [[Rugan]] will give the party this password if they save him during the quest [[Find the Missing Shipment]] or if he's been killed somehow, asking where he's going then asking what the password is via [[Speak with Dead]].
Otherwise passing any of the dialogue ability checks with Salazon will have him stand down. If Salazon is successfully dealt with, he will give the party a key to the wardrobe at the back of the basement, which leads to the hideout.

== Notable loot ==
'''Note:''' These items are locked behind certain quest/dialogue choices.  They will only appear in [[Brem]]'s inventory if you gain [[Zarys]] and her group's trust.  The items can then be acquired through trading, [[Stealing|pick-pocketing]], or looting Brem's corpse (if you decide to kill the group anyway after gaining their trust).
=== Quest rewards ===
* {{LgRarityItem|Harold}} - reward for bringing the chest to [[Zarys]] as part of [[Find the Missing Shipment]].


=== Hidden treasure ===
If you antagonize Zarys in any way, the group will turn hostile, and the items won't appear in Brem's inventory, making it impossible to acquire them.  In particular, if you had convinced [[Rugan]] to cross the Zhents and let you take the shipment, then the only way to gain Zarys's trust is to follow her order to finish off Rugan.  It's not possible to obtain the shipment, spare Rugan's life, ''and'' get access to the items above.
* {{LgRarityItem|Abyss Beckoners}} (Inside a locked chest in the eastern cell at the far northern end of the hideout)
