Oubliette is a Location within Shadow-Cursed Lands in Act Two of Baldur's Gate 3. Shrouded in shadow and covered in bloody viscera, it houses prisoners of the Cult of the Absolute, both living and dead.

“	An illithid oubliette. Right beneath the Towers. A colony must be close. That must be where the tadpoles are coming from.	„
	— Dream Guardian

Overview

Oubliette can be reached in multiple ways:

• From Moonrise Towers Prison, it can be reached by jumping into the pit at X: 580 Y: -690 (entering only), or by jumping into the hole in Cell Three at X: 579 Y: -616 (entering only), or by descending the Cragged Rock at X: 503 Y: -617.
• From Moonrise Towers, it can be reached by submitting to or failing the checks to escape the Cracked Wall at X: -126 Y: -177.
• If progressing through Reithwin Town at X: -290 Y: -14 on the Road to Baldur's Gate before  Ketheric Thorm is defeated, the party can chose to continue ahead or turn back; if continuing, they are immediately transported to the Oubliette.

Although the Oubliette appears at the southwest of the map of the Mind Flayer Colony, they are separate areas. The Mind Flayer Colony may only be reached from the Moonrise Towers Rooftop, after defeating Ketheric, and the Oubliette cannot be reached from the Mind Flayer Colony.

Inspiration

• ⁠Delving into the Deep ( Outlander background) - for entering the Oubliette, through any method
• ⁠Will Not Be Forgotten ( Urchin background) - for leaving the Oubliette
