Locations

Within the Lower City Sewers players can access the other named areas specified in this section.

Entrances

While the minimap name still displays Lower City Sewers, players can encounter the following useful landmarks:

• Ladder X: 46 Y: 780, by interacting, leads to Manhole Cover (Alleyway near Basilisk Gate Barracks)
• Ladder X: 83 Y: 843, by interacting, leads to Manhole Cover (Alleyway near The Glitter Gala)

Abandoned Cistern

While inside the Lower City Sewers, the minimap name will become "Abandoned Cistern" from multiple directions including...

• • North of a "ramp" towards a broken stone wall, at roughly X: -167 Y: 864.
  • West through a door, with caustic brine on the ground on the other side, near X: -155 Y: 877

The large black pipe, running in an L-shape through the middle of this room, is another good visual landmark to help players identify if they are in the right area.

While the minimap name reads "Abandoned Cistern",

• A locked Sluice Gate must be opened to access the second half of the area. It cannot be lockpicked. To open the gate, either make a DC 25 Athletics check to turn the Sluice Valve, or turn the Water Level Valve and Temperature Valve until they are both at the perfect level. Use the Emergency Release Valve if either level gets too high.
• Ladder X: -283 Y: 878 can be found past the Sluice Gate in a stone alcove at the back of the room. On interaction, causes a screen transition which leads to an area called "Gardener's Basement." This has another exit that leads to a door labeled "Keep Out" in the Lower City.

Guildhall

Base of operations for Baldur's Gates' infamous criminal faction, The Guild, headed by Nine-Fingers Keene. Main Article: Guildhall

Undercity Ruins

While inside the Lower City Sewers, the minimap name will become "Undercity Ruins" by walking north through a stone archway at roughly X: -138 Y: 907. The waypoint of the same name is usually visible from this path.

• Door X: -133 Y: 934 initially closed and locked, requires special means to open. Leads to the map section discussed on page: Undercity Ruins.
• Passageway X: -181 Y: 935 heading west, leads to Ancient Lair upon interaction.
