'''Wyrm's Rock Fortress''' is a [[location]] in [[Baldur's Gate]] during [[Chapter Three]].
== Overview ==
When the party approaches the Wyrm's Rock Fortress for the first time, the drawbridge leading inside will be lifted due to extreme safety measures for the coronation of [[Enver Gortash]]. The passage is guarded by several Flaming Fist and a Steel Watcher.
However, there are several ways to get past the guards:
* [[Archducal Coronation - Admission Pass|Admission Pass to the coronation]], wrested from {{CharLink|Arfur Gregorio}}
* [[Lower City Pass]] granted by {{CharLink|Valeria|Investigator Valeria}}
* [[Urgent Report for Duke Ravengard]] (found at the [[Sword Coast Couriers]] in [[Rivington]])
* Bribing the patrol head officer {{CharLink|Elin|Blaze Elin}}
* Several other options, based on the class of your character

Alternatively, the party can walk around the patrol, by, for example, jumping down from the [[Wyrm's Crossing]] side onto the rocky footing of the fortress at {{coords|27|158}}.
