'''Undercity Ruins''' is a [[location]] accessible from the [[Lower City Sewers]] area of [[Baldur's Gate]] during [[Act Three]]. While inside the '''Lower City Sewers''', the minimap name will become ''"Undercity Ruins"'' by walking north through a stone archway at roughly {{Coords|-138|907}}. | |||
==Overview== | |||
[[File:Undercity Ruins.jpg|frameless|right|350px]] | |||
===Waypoints=== | |||
* {{WpCo|Undercity Ruins|-141|941}} -- found ''near'' the special door mentioned above. | |||
* {{WpCo|Temple of Bhaal|-60|1007}} -- found past the Metal Door denoted below in "locations." | |||
* {{WpCo|Morphic Pool Dock|-75|1155}} -- found past the Metal Door, across the bridge, and through another stone archway, northwards of the Undercity Ruins waypoint. | |||
== | ===''Entry area''=== | ||
At the northern most point of the city sewers is the entrance to the Undercity Ruins through a stone arch. In the area immediately after the arch is the '''Undercity Ruins''' [[waypoint]]. To the west, [[Voiceless Penitent Bareki]] has some items for sale, further on is a passageway that leads to the [[Ancient Lair]]. Behind Bareki is a pouch containing [[Sarin's Skull]], and past the opening beyond is a hatch which is another entrance to the Ancient Lair. | |||
== | The route to the rest of the area is blocked by a magical door that will only open to followers of [[Bhaal]]. See [[Investigate the Murders]] or [[Impress the Murder Tribunal]] for details on how to unlock the door. | ||
* | |||
==Related | ===''Temple of Bhaal''=== | ||
* | Past the locked door, the party is ambushed by Bhaalists and has 4 rounds to get to [[Farslayer of Bhaal Ghislev]], who has marked the party as targets of Power Word: Kill. One of the ambushers is [[Strangler Luke]], who will melee the party. All the other ambushers will prefer to use magic or ranged weapons. Across the bridge, [[Manglin' Abby]] will also engage in melee, with attacks that can push characters into the chasm. | ||
== | |||
The ambush can also mostly be avoided by using stealth and cutting across the cavern to the east, just after the initial path opens up into the area. | |||
* | |||
==Notable | '''NOTE:''' Be careful crossing the white bridge as the nearby archers will use [[Pushing Attack (Ranged)]] to knock you off the bridge. | ||
* | |||
== | Travelling east on the bridge adjacent to the "Temple of Bhaal" waypoint, the area becomes fast-travel restricted after {{Coords|-41|1006}}, but the minimap name will still read "Undercity Ruins". A pair of "Solid Doors", locked by special means until the Farslayer is defeated, is found at the end of the bridge. | ||
After crossing the threshold of these doors, the party will enter the [[Bhaal Temple]]. | |||
===''Bhaal Temple''=== | |||
{{hatnote|Main article: [[Bhaal Temple]]}} | |||
Past the bridge and through the solid doors is the Bhaal Temple, the innermost sanctum of the Cultists of Bhaal, headed by [[Orin the Red]]. | |||
===''Morphic Pool Docks''=== | |||
After crossing the bridge and entering through the doors, following the path north will lead to a dock with a skiff, which can be used to travel to the [[Morphic Pool]]. Travelling to the Morphic Pool passes a point of no return in the story. | |||
The dock area is also home to a swarm of [[Cranium Rat]]s. | |||
<!-- | |||
The '''Undercity Ruins''' [[waypoint]]] is found near the beginning of the ares. To the west, [[Voiceless Penitent Bareki]] has some items for sale and a passageway leads to the [[Ancient Lair]]. | |||
The route to the rest of the area is blocked by a magical door that will only open to followers of [[Bhaal]]. See [[Investigate the Murders]] or [[Impress the Murder Tribunal]] for details on how to unlock the door. | |||
Through the door, the party is ambushed by Bhaalists and has 4 rounds to get to a caster who has marked the party as targets of Power Word: Kill. One of the ambushers is [[Strangler Luke]] who is the one ambusher that will melee the party. All the other ambushers will prefer to use magic or ranged weapons. | |||
'''NOTE:''' Be careful crossing the white bridge as the nearby archers will use [[Pushing Attack (Ranged)]] to knock you off the bridge. | |||
