'''Find a Way into Wyrm's Rock fortress''' is a [[quest]] in [[Act Three]] of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by approaching the [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]] gate from [[Wyrm's Crossing]].

{{Quest objective|Find a way to get into Wyrm's Rock Fortress.|

* Wyrm's Rock is closed due to the ordination of Gortash - who is about to become Archduke of [[Baldur's Gate]]. There must be someone, or something, in Wyrm's Crossing that could help us gain entry.

{{Quest objective|Enter Wyrm's Rock Fortress through the secret entrance.|

* We found a map that details a secret entrance into Wyrm's Rock. That could be our way in.

{{Quest objective|Enter Wyrm's Rock Fortress.|

* We found a report for Duke Ravengard at the Posthouse. This should let us enter Wyrm's Rock.

* We have an admission pass to the ordination. This should let us enter Wyrm's Rock.

* Valeria gave us an admission pass to the ordination. This should let us enter Wyrm's Rock.

* We convinced the guards to let us into Wyrm's Rock for Gortash's coronation.

{{Quest objective|Quest Complete|

* We made our way into Wyrm's Rock, where Gortash is about to become Archduke.

The party can walk in through the gate by speaking to [[Blaze Elin]] at the gate {{Coords|6|155}}. Based on the party's actions before approaching the guards, they have the following dialogue options:

* {{Dialogue option|See this? I've been invited to the ordination.}} (If a pass has been obtained)

* {{Dialogue option|As you can see, I have an urgent dispatch for Duke Ravengard.}} (If the Urgent report for Duke Ravengard - Priority Entry is stolen)

* {{Dialogue option|Investigator Valeria needs me in the Lower City - a serial killer's on the loose.}} (If the pass was given by Valeria)

* {{Dialogue option|''Provide the pass you took from Valeria''}} (If the pass was stolen from Valeria)

* {{Dialogue option|What's special about today?}}

* {{Dialogue option|Not closed to Duke Ulder Ravengard's own son, surely?|tags=Wyll}}

** Wyll will also try this if he is present as a companion. It will not work in either case if he has been altered by [[Mizora]].

* {{Dialogue option|Baldur's Gate is my home. I don't need permission to enter.|tags=Baldurian}}

* {{Dialogue option|An assassin is in pursuit of Duke Ravengard! I need to warn him!|roll=Deception|dc=30}}

* {{Dialogue option|I'm here to protect Archduke-Elect Gortash.|roll=Persuasion|dc=30}}

* {{Dialogue option|Such a bother. What if I were to contribute to the 'Flaming Fist's Orphans' Fund'?|roll=Persuasion|dc=25}} (requires 20,000 gold)

* {{Dialogue option|I am Lord Gortash's new occultist - let me pass or your name goes in the Book of Vile Darkness|tags=Warlock|roll=Deception|dc=30}}

* {{Dialogue option|Please let me in - I'm meant to be in the coronation orchestra, it's my big break!|tags=Bard|roll=Deception|dc=30}}

* {{Dialogue option|''Attack''}}

Choosing to enter by providing a pass gains an inspiration point from Astarion (Rock-Solid Alibi) and for those with a Noble background (Multipass).

[[Valeria]] is an inspector involved in the [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]] quest. She is initially encountered in the [[Open Hand Temple]] {{Coords|-44|-6}}. After this, Valeria can be found drinking upstairs in [[Sharess' Caress]] {{Coords|24|92}}. If the party successfully finds enough information to exonerate [[Brilgor]] of [[Lorgan|Father Lorgan's]] murder, and finds the murder list in [[Fraygo's Flophouse]], then Valeria refers the party to speak to [[Devella Fountainhead]] at the [[Elfsong Tavern]] and provides a pass to the [[Lower City]] to allow them entrance.

==== Steal an Admission Pass from Arfur Gregorio ====

[[Arfur Gregorio]], the Toymaker, carries an admission pass. He can first be encountered in front of [[Arfur's Mansion]] {{Coords|11|-95}}. If Arfur is allowed back in his mansion, then he is inside. If the refugees remain in the mansion, then he is on the first floor of Sharess' Caress {{Coords|21|75}}.  

During [[Investigate the Suspicious Toys]], Arfur can be confronted with the blackmail letter found in his [[Arfur's Basement|mansion's basement]]. After entering the basement through the hatch {{Coords|40|-72}}, the blackmail letter is found in a heavy chest at the southeastern corner of the room {{Coords|361|-990}}. If Arfur is told "I found some rather sinister things in your basement," followed up by "I'll get to the bottom of this one way or another," Arfur becomes hostile and attacks the party. In this case, the pass can be looted off his body.  

After finding the blackmail letter, the party can speak to [[Manip Nestor]] at the [[Requisitioned Barn]] {{Coords|66|-112}} and persuade him to look into the barn for dangerous items. Arfur's explosive teddy bears can be found at the back of the barn {{Coords|83|-108}}. If the party speaks with Arfur after this, telling him they found his teddy bears, he can be successfully intimidated into giving more information on his bosses. If he is spared after this, he simply gives the party his coronation pass.  

A report on Duke Ravengard can be found at [[Sword Coast Couriers]] {{Coords|15|12}} - on a cupboard behind [[Danzo Arkwright]]. If this letter is stolen, it can be shown to the guards to get by.

"Such a bother. What if I were to contribute to the 'Flaming Fist Orphans Fund'" requires a check of 25 and paying 20,000 gold to the guard. Otherwise, all other deception and persuasion options require a roll of 30 to pass.

The party can choose to forego the guards entirely by breaking into Wyrm's Rock. They can do this by jumping off the bridge using Fly or Featherfall at the eastern side of the gate {{Coords|27|158}}. After this, walking eastward reveals a crack in the wall to the prison {{Coords|42|190}} with a successful perception check.  

After entering into [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]], there is a wall that can be blasted open {{Coords|91|-720}} with blunt attacks or spells (e.g. Eldritch Blast). This leads to a storage room. The door must be lockpicked open, as well as the door to the entrance {{Coords|52|-740}}. There are multiple guards that confront the party if they are spotted - requiring either successful sneaking or passing a deception check of 15.

 

Alternatively, it is possible to fly from Blaze Elin's side of the bridge to the other side, leading straight to the main corridor of the fortress.
