The Location of Baldur’s Gate 3 Zhentarim Hideout

The Zhentarim Hideout is tucked away to the Northwest of Droid Grove. To access it, you must go behind Waukeen’s Rest (coordinates X: -64, Y: 567), situated along the Risen Road. Starting from the Risen Road landmark, embark on a journey Northward until you reach the imposing Waukeen’s Rest. You can use builds like Shadowheart, Wyll, Minsc, and Minthara.

On the way to Waukeen’s Rest, you will come across a group of travelers hiding from dangerous Hyenas and Gnolls inside a cave. Rugan and Olly are two of these sad people. Before you try to do anything, remember that it’s a good idea to save, because their life is key to getting the Zhentarim faction members to trust you. If you save them, Rugan in BG3 will tell you the secret code you need to get into the Baldur’s Gate 3 Zhentarim Hideout. This also makes it easy to find the hideout on your map. But be careful, because if something goes wrong in this order, you’ll have to find the door to the hideout on your own.

The Password to Zhentarim Hideout

As you arrive at the fiery Waukeen’s Rest, turn left and proceed Northwest. In this area, you’ll find a nondescript door obstructed by boxes (coordinates X: -126, Y: 610). Remove the boxes and enter the room. Inside, you’ll encounter Salazon, who is concealing himself here. Engage in conversation with Salazon and, if your mind-reading roll surpasses 10, you’ll learn the important password (if you haven’t already). Use Sildur’s Party Limit Begone mod, it expands the party limit. 

The Hidden Underdark Entrance from Zhentarim Hideout

A secret entry to the Underdark, a dangerous and mysterious place, is hidden in the Baldur’s Gate 3 Zhentarim Hideout. To find this secret tunnel, look around in the hideout until you find a fake wall at (X: 270, Y: -186). The impression checks that your party members do make it pretty easy to find this fake wall. Check out some companion builds of Astarion, Gale, Halsin, and Jaheira.

To get through, you need a key, which is held by Karad, a guard who is always on the lookout. He usually has a dog with him, which makes it hard to steal from him. On the other hand, you can take a risky route and kill Karad to get the key. Be aware, though, that this could make everyone in the hideout angry.

Once you have the key, go to the lift that is hidden behind the fake wall. By using the key, the lift will start and you’ll be able to go to the Underdark. With this new skill, you can quickly get to the Underdark whenever you need to. But be careful, because if a guard sees you using the lift, the whole Baldur’s Gate 3 Zhentarim hideout will turn against you. With good build, you can solve puzzles and survive the Underdark or other quests.
