Cazador's Dungeon is a Location within the Undercity in Act Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It is where the party can find and confront Cazador Szarr.

Overview

The map of the area

It can be accessed through a dais in the ballroom of the Szarr Palace.

This area was part of a vast subterranean realm of dwarves, created by exiles of the dwarven kingdom ⁠Bhaerynden, originally known as The Tourmaline Depths.

Fast travel and resting are not possible inside of this area until after both  Cazador Szarr is dead and  Ulma confronts the party.

Cazador's Room

A small alcove, containing the skull of Vellioth

Cazador's room is a small chamber found by taking the first left through a sealed Crypt Gate when entering from the ballroom in the Szarr Palace.

Inside his room are several lore-related books. Interacting with the inanimate skull of the vampire Vellioth, Cazador's progenitor, leads to a series of three  DC 15 Wisdom checks, providing information about his and Cazador's shared past. Whether the party succeed or fail the checks, they will receive the  Black Mass Scroll, which contains information about Cazador's Ascension Ritual and will progress the quest ⁠The Pale Elf.

Lower Floor

The ruins of the lower floor

The lower floor can be accessed from the upper floor using  Feather Fall,  Misty Step, or  Fly from the halls northwest of the elevator. Alternatively, a button on a pillar in the room to the west X: -1964 Y: 842raises and lowers a massive chandelier X: -1964 Y: 832which can be used as an elevator to enter and leave this level.^{[See: Bugs]} The party can also use an exit here to the Lower City Sewers, allowing them to go to camp and rest.

The center of the room to the west is filled with a damaging caustic brine. Additionally, there is a locked crypt gate (DC 30) connecting to the Lower City Sewers - Gloomy Ascent. The dungeon cannot be entered from the sewers prior to unlocking the gate from this side. A key to the gate can be found in the attic of Szarr Palace.

In a room to the east, hidden in a dirt pile ( DC 15 Perception check) in a trapped ( DC 15 Perception check) rosewood casket X: -1926 Y: 853, is the  Pelorsun Blade. This weapon deals radiant damage, which is highly effective against Cazador.^{[See: Bugs]}

Bugs

• The chandelier which serves as an ersatz elevator sometimes works correctly, but other times party members may be "left behind" after jumping onto it and fall to their deaths.
• The trapped casket with the Pelorsun Blade may not be present on some platforms. Although the casket may require noticing and then digging up.
