Underdark: Difference between revisions

The '''Underdark''' is a [[Region]] of [[Faerûn]], and consists of multiple [[location]]s in [[Act One]] of [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. It is a vast series of caverns and tunnels devoid of sunlight but full of dangerous creatures and even more dangerous mushrooms, but also contains a multitude of [[alchemy|alchemical]] ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. The Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3 is only a small portion of the true Underdark. The [[Drow]], [[Duergar]] and [[Gnome|Deep Gnomes]] are native to the Underdark.  

Due to its immense size, there are multiple access points into the Underdark from over-land. All of them involve travelling (or falling) deep into the depths of the world.  

The [[Storehouse]] is a [[location]] in the most north-eastern quadrant of the Underdark map. This primary area, when labelled on the player minimap, is recognisable for its aging pale wooden interior and is free of any enemies.  

Enter the Underdark through this area when departing from the over-world's [[Zhentarim Basement]].

Considered part of the [[Storehouse]], this unnamed area of the Underdark is recognisable thanks to its bright green grass and whimsical red mushrooms with swirling paths featuring wandering [[Minotaur|Minotaurs]]. This area is directly to the south of the [[Storehouse]] via the rope netting.

The Ebonlake Grotto is recognisable for its densely packed oversized mushrooms, and roaming [[Myconid]]s amidst which reside several NPCs and merchants.

Considered part of the [[Ebonlake Grotto]] and in its south-east part, this nameless area of the ''' Underdark''' is recognisable for being full of dangerous mushrooms such as [[Timmask]] and [[Bibberbang]], which are a particularly dangerous combination with [[Torchstalk]] mushrooms that can quickly turn the area into a series of explosions.

Considered part of the Ebonlake Grotto and to its south-west, this unnamed area is an unremarkable corridor connecting [[Ebonlake Grotto]], the [[Dread Hollow]] and the [[Decrepit Village]]. It is most recognisable for the giant bird's nest.

The Dread Hollow is a [[location]] in the north-west of the [[Underdark]].  This area is recognisable for the large and brightly shining [[Sussur Tree]], as well as the roaming [[Hook Horror]]s and hostile wizard, [[Filro|Filro the Forgotton]], living along its branched roots.  A [[Bulette]] can also be spotted in the area.

Considered part of the [[Arcane Tower]] and to its east, this unnamed area of the Underdark is recognisable by its dark brown paths paved with deep red mushroom clusters and spots of [[Torchstalk]] that cast floating embers into the air. The corpse of an unfortunate Drow can be found, having been killed by an unexpected fall.

The Festering Cove is a partially hidden [[location]] on a separate Underdark map, containing the [[Kuo-toa]] worshipping their god, [[BOOOAL]]. It can be reached by climbing down the cragged rock in Torchstalk Gulch {{Coords|80|-241}}.

The [[Selûnite]] Outpost is a [[location]] in the SE corner of the Underdark map. This area is recognisable by its crumbling stone walls, grated windows, and tattered blue banners to the goddess Selûne. A statue of the goddess holds up a bright moonstone, which channels energy into the front gate's defences.

Directly north of the [[Selûnite Outpost]], this unnamed area of the Underdark is recognisable by its field of scattered wooden barricades and long-dead skeletons of ancient fighters.

To the west of the [[Selûnite Outpost]], this nameless area of the Underdark is recognisable by its purple [[Glowing Gems]] and several [[Petrified (Condition)|petrified]] [[Drow]] as well as one [[Spectator]].

The Decrepit Village is the central [[location]] of the Underdark and fairly vertical. It is recognisable for its ramshackle wooden structures and rope netting enclosures.
