The Selûnite Outpost is a Location within the Underdark in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It is located in the south eastern part of the Underdark and can also be reached from the Defiled Temple.

Overview

The outpost is long since abandoned, with crumbling stone walls and tattered blue banners to the goddess Selûne.

Main gate

The guardian mechanism of the Selûnite Outpost.

Selûnite Outpost is protected by a powerful trap. Any creature approaching (or leaving through) the main gate will be shot at by the two statues on either side of the gate. This trap can be disabled by destroying or removing the glowing Moonstone suspended in the staff of the large statue in the centre of the outpost. If destroying the Moonstone, all of the torches and braziers in the outpost will ignite and Shadowheart will get Inspiration if she is in the party.

Ancient Battlefield

Directly north of the Selûnite Outpost, this unnamed area of the Underdark is recognisable by its field of scattered wooden barricades and long-dead skeletons of ancient fighters.

Petrified Battlefield

To the west of the outpost, this nameless area of the Underdark contains several petrified Drow. If the party is noticed while in this area, they may also trigger a fight with a Spectator.

The spectator can unpetrify the drow with its  Unpetrification Ray. They can also be restored with Basilisk Oil.

Notes

• Players cannot enter the Defiled Temple via the Outpost if they have not already opened the way from the other side. Thus, this route cannot be used to infiltrate the Goblin Camp.
