Baldur’s Gate 3 Underdark Walkthrough

If you’re looking for a comprehensive walkthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3’s Underdark region, then look no further!

1. Enter the room to the right of the statue to find a waypoint.
2. Back in the main room, hit the lever next to the main gate.
3. Before heading through the gate, use ranged attacks to hit the Blood Moon Gem the statue is holding to prevent triggering a trap.
4. Walk toward the purple mist and prepare to fight two minotaurs that will rush you. Use hiding/sneak to your advantage and focus on killing one minotaur at a time. After defeating them, loot their bodies to acquire the Amulet of the Unworthy.
5. Take the west path by the Timmask mushroom (shoot it from a distance) down to the underground (X:122 Y:-187) where you’ll encounter a Bulette. To defeat it, jump to the large, brown mushrooms on either side of the path where it can do you little harm and use ranged attacks to damage it until it burrows underground again. If you do enough damage before it gets its turn, it is also possible to kill it. Loot the Bulette afterward, although the rewards are not significant.
6. Continue north until you reach a gap that must be jumped across. Before making the jump, shoot the Torchstalks/Timmasks across the way.
7. Further north, up on the ledge, you’ll encounter “the sovereign” and its companions.
8. Before leaving the Underdark, make your way southeast of the Beach area to near X:78 Y:-244 (the open area with numerous Torchstalks). Shoot the Torchstalks, then send your highest Strength companion to the upper left cliff, above the gap on the left side. Have them jump down to the area across the gap where a skeleton is holding the Helmet of Autonomy. Interact with Cragged Rock (just below the skeleton) to enter The Festering Cove.
9. Head over to the fishfolk ceremony in The Festering Cove and engage in conversation with their leader, Pooldripp the Zealous. Select dialogue options carefully based on desired outcomes.
10. Go north past where you spoke to The Sovereign to enter Ebonlake Grotto. To find The Sovereign, head for the center of the map (look for the objective marker labeled Runaway Slave). Speak to Thulla and use Persuasion or Investigation to kill her then take the boots (Boots of Speed) or steal them. Note that as of 10/19/2020, you are unable to get the boots if you kill her.
11. Southwest of Ebonlake Grotto / Myconid Colony (X:81 Y-158), you’ll find Decrepit Village. A short ways down the left path (X:72 Y:182), loot the dead gnomes to find the Shortsword of First Blood.
12. Head west to the beach where you’ll encounter a dwarf named Gekh Coal. Select dialogue options carefully based on desired outcomes.
