Walkthrough
There are a variety of ways to enter Wyrm's Rock Fortress. Only one of them needs to be pursued to gain entry to the fortress.
Getting in the Front Door
The party can walk in through the gate by speaking to Blaze Elin at the gate at X: 6 Y: 155. Based on the party's actions before approaching the guards, they have the following dialogue options:
- See this? I've been invited to the ordination. (If a pass has been obtained)
- As you can see, I have an urgent dispatch for Duke Ravengard. (If the Urgent report for Duke Ravengard - Priority Entry is stolen)
- Investigator Valeria needs me in the Lower City - a serial killer's on the loose. (If the pass was given by Valeria)
- Provide the pass you took from Valeria (If the pass was stolen from Valeria)
- What's special about today?
- [WYLL] Not closed to Duke Ulder Ravengard's own son, surely?
- [BALDURIAN] Baldur's Gate is my home. I don't need permission to enter.
- [DECEPTION] An assassin is in pursuit of Duke Ravengard! I need to warn him! (DC 30)
- [PERSUASION] I'm here to protect Archduke-Elect Gortash. (DC 30)
- [PERSUASION] Such a bother. What if I were to contribute to the 'Flaming Fist's Orphans' Fund'? (DC 25) (requires 20,000 gold)
- [WARLOCK] [DECEPTION] I am Lord Gortash's new occultist - let me pass or your name goes in the Book of Vile Darkness (DC 30)
- [BARD] [DECEPTION] Please let me in - I'm meant to be in the coronation orchestra, it's my big break! (DC 30)
- Attack
Entering Wyrm's Rock Fortress without a pass earns the following Inspirational Events:
Valeria's Pass
Valeria is an inspector involved in the 
quest. She is initially encountered in the Open Hand Temple X: -44 Y: -6. After this, Valeria can be found drinking upstairs in Sharess' Caress at X: 24 Y: 92. If finding enough information to exonerate Brilgor of Father Lorgan's murder, and finding the murder list in Fraygo's Flophouse, then Valeria refers the party to speak to Devella Fountainhead at the Elfsong Tavern and provides a pass to the Lower City to allow them entrance.
Steal an Admission Pass from Arfur Gregorio
Arfur Gregorio, the Toymaker, carries an admission pass. He can first be encountered in front of Arfur's Mansion X: 11 Y: -95. If Arfur is allowed back in his mansion, then he is inside. If the refugees remain in the mansion, then he is on the first floor of Sharess' Caress at X: 21 Y: 75.
During Investigate the Suspicious Toys, Arfur can be confronted with the blackmail letter found in his mansion's basement. After entering the basement through the hatch X: 40 Y: -72, the blackmail letter can be found in a heavy chest at the southeastern corner of the room at X: 361 Y: -990. If Arfur is told I found some rather sinister things in your basement, followed up by I'll get to the bottom of this one way or another, Arfur becomes hostile and attacks the party. In this case, the pass can be looted off his body.
After finding the blackmail letter, the party can speak to Manip Nestor at the Requisitioned Barn at X: 66 Y: -112 and persuade him to look into the barn for dangerous items. Arfur's explosive teddy bears can be found at the back of the barn X: 83 Y: -108. If speaking with Arfur after this, and telling him about his teddy bears, he can be intimidated into giving more information on his bosses. If he is spared after this, he gives the party his coronation pass, or the pass can be pickpocketed off Arfur.
Take an Admission Pass from the Nymph's Grotto
An admission pass can be found inside Nymph's Grotto on the Upper Floor of Sharess' Caress. The pass is in front of the bath at X: 28 Y: 94. This pass presumably belonged to Fist Jara before she turned into a Mind Flayer. Taking this pass does not count as stealing.
Duke Ravengard's Report
A report on Duke Ravengard can be found at Sword Coast Couriers X: 15 Y: 12 - on a cupboard behind Danzo Arkwright. If this letter is stolen, it can be shown to the guards to get by.
Convince the Guards
The party can attempt to convince the guards to let them pass by passing extraordinarily high 
or 
checks.
The dialogue option Such a bother. What if I were to contribute to the 'Flaming Fist Orphans Fund' requires a check of 25 and paying 20,000 gold to the guard. Otherwise, all other and options require a roll of 30 to pass.
Breaking into Wyrm's Rock
The party can forego the guards entirely by breaking into Wyrm's Rock. They can do this by jumping off the bridge using 
or 
at the eastern side of the gate at X: 27 Y: 158. After this, walking eastward reveals a crack in the wall to the prison at X: 42 Y: 190 with a successful 
check.
After entering into Wyrm's Rock Prison, there is a wall that can be blasted open at X: 91 Y: -720 with blunt attacks or spells (e.g. 
). This leads to a storage room. The door must be lockpicked open, as well as the door to the entrance at X: 52 Y: -740. There are multiple guards, that confront the party if they are spotted - requiring either successful sneaking or passing a deception check of 15.
Alternatively, it is possible to fly from Blaze Elin's side of the bridge to the other side, leading straight to the main corridor of the fortress.
