: Menace of the Underdark
Venture down into the Underdark and confront Lolth’s elite followers in the Drow city of Sschindylryn!

The Underdark is a wilderness adventure area located in the Forgotten Realms. There are two ways to access this area. These are two different entrances, and get you to different starting points in the map.

The King's Forest entrance is very close to the Sschindylryn entrance. Once the Sschindylryn central portal has been unlocked, you can enter the city from the Eveningstar cavern and then exit the Sschindylryn zone to the Underdark close to the King's Forest entrance.

There is a portal at the ruins of Riz Malag explorer option. Once this has been found, it is available as an entrance point to the Underdark from the Eveningstar Cavern. Please note that this portal is very close to the quest entrance for 'In the Belly of the Beast' quest. Just follow the right hand path upwards to the secret cave.

[edit] Malchor’s Undersun Goggles

Although the Underdark is true to its name (it's dark!), Malchor’s Undersun Goggles provide some light and reveal hidden enemies by making them glow red. It is provided to players from a NPC Beli Bragason (Optics Merchant) upon reaching the Underdark.

[edit] Quests

In addition to the Rare Encounter / Slayer / Explorer missions typical to all wilderness adventure areas, the following quests can be found in this zone:

[edit] Sschindylryn

Main article - Sschindylryn

The Drow city of Sschindylryn is another adventure area, accessible from this zone. The four quests required to advance the raid flagging arc (the entire second quest chain series) are located in Sschindylryn, not in this area. So you must gain initial access here through the Underdark.

The easiest way to get to Sschindylryn via the Underdark is by going to the very southern part of the King's Forest and using the cave there. Once you enter the cave you may fight your way along the path and will discover the portal to Eveningstar/Sschindylryn. Then use that portal which takes you back to the Eveningstar Cavern and from that point on you may use the Eveningstar Cavern portal to get to the city and the quests within.

[edit] Tips for the red dragon fight

The red dragon Micahrastir doesn't always spawn on the instance. In fact, when he is absent the "Dragon's Roost" doesn't look like a dragon's nest at all (no gold pile, no nothing). When he is there, two chests and gold pile appears. By backspacing these from below the nest, around the salamanders' area, you can check if he is there or not without running all the way up the "Grand Waterfall" side way. For this reason it is recommended to enter the Underdark area from eastern entrance (Merchant Camp), if you are going for the dragon fight.

The bridge to the nest gets destroyed shortly after starting the fight. So all the party members must be together on the platform in order to participate on the fight and get loot after. And yes, Micahrastir can wing-buffet you off the platform. Once you fall, there will be no way to reach the platform/chests again. It is recommended to rely solely on ranged/caster nuke and not to melee for this fight.
