Undercity
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Undercity is the seedy underbelly of the Lower City of Baldur's Gate featuring the crumbling remains of ancient cities. It is filled with various shady characters, undead, and temples to evil deities or other undesirable elements that the city above (or the denizens themselves) would prefer to keep hidden from its citizens.
Locations[edit | edit source]
Abandoned Cistern[edit | edit source]
The cistern is a hidden area usually accessed by solving the Sluice Gate puzzle or by passing a difficult DC 25 Athletics check. Past the gate, the Stone Lord can be found there along with several Doppelgangers and Bhaalists, as well as the Stone Lord himself.
It is here that 
Minsc and 
Boo can be fought and recruited, as part of the quest 
The High Harper.
Ancient Lair[edit | edit source]
The lair can be accessed through a passageway west of the Undercity Ruins waypoint by passing a passive Perception check, and by lock picking the door. The lair unfortunately, is filled with several Undead creatures which become active when any of the chests are opened or by lock-picking a door. To make matters worse, the party is inflicted with 
Spell Rot curse which forces magic users to take damage every time they cast a spell.[1]
Beyond the main chamber, a locked door to the workshop can be found where the remains of 
Taron are located, along with the 
Jar of Mystic Carrion's Brain and Jar of Mystic Carrion's Liver.
Bhaal Temple[edit | edit source]
The temple is a large, spatious area requiring the 
Amulet of Bhaal to open the stone door, which can be acquired at the end of the quest Impress the Murder Tribunal. It is the sanctum of 
Orin the Red, and contains many worshippers of Bhaal as well as altars for victims to be sacrificed over and subsequently displayed on the walls.
Guildhall[edit | edit source]
The guildhall is the main building housing the cities thieves' guilds. The guildhall can be directly accessed from the surface via a guarded entrance, or by navigating through the Undercity until they reach the main door. Inside the guildhall, the party can spot members of The Guild as well as members of the Zhentarim hanging out, with 
Nine-Fingers Keene managing the hall.
Lower City Sewers[edit | edit source]
The sewers is a large expansive area covering much of the Undercity and also serving as the main access point into various nearby areas. The sewers can be accessed through numerous manhole covers on the surface, and connects to almost every other location except the Murder Tribunal.

Morphic Pool[edit | edit source]
The Morphic Pool can be found on one end of the Undercity Ruins. There is a small dock located there, with a boat which will take the party to the main Morphic Pool area where numerous brine pools can be found, indicating the presence of 
Intellect Devourers.
Murder Tribunal[edit | edit source]
The Murder Tribunal is a special area in the Undercity which can only be accessed via Candulhallow's Tombstones on the surface. It is here that 
Sarevok, alive and well, hosts prospective members of the cult of 
Bhaal as they vie to become an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal.
Further inside is the Abattoir, where Sarevok asks the party to kill 
Valeria as further proof of their dedication to Bhaal.
Undercity Ruins[edit | edit source]
The undercity ruins is a large cavernous area filled with the remains of long lost and damaged homes. It is the main area which connects the Bhaal Temple and the Morphic Pool to the rest of the undercity, and becomes the perfect place for an ambush conducted by the 
Farslayer of Bhaal Ghislev. Following a successful defense, the Undergrond Ruins then promptly leads the party to the Bhaal Temple.
