How to Get into the Underdark: A Beginner’s Guide
Getting into the Underdark is one of the most thrilling adventures in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3. As you set out to explore the ancient lands, you may come across various entrances and methods to access this vast subterranean realm. Here, we’ll cover everything you need to know about entering the Underdark and make the most of your adventure.
Direct Entrance Routes
There are several direct entrance routes that lead you directly into the Underdark. These entrances offer a more straightforward path and eliminate the need to scour for hidden passages. Make sure to keep the Feather Fall spell handy as we’ll be exploring several heights to reach these entry points.

Alternative Entrance Routes (Not Direct)
As an alternative, you may also explore other underground routes that may grant access to the Underdark without using the direct routes.
- Tyranny of Guitky: Visit a mysterious monastery hidden under Mountain Pass, near the Shadow Cursed Lands. Discover that Tyranny of Guitky has been defeated.
