The Underdark is one of the most mysterious locations in Baldur's Gate 3, and you can enter it in a variety of ways.

On the surface, it might seem like the map in Baldur's Gate 3 isn't too big, at least in Act 1. As you continue to explore, though, you have a chance of stumbling upon an entirely different world beneath the surface of the main map. This magical and brightly-colored area is called the Underdark, and it has its own inhabitants, environments, and questlines.
The Underdark is also required to visit Moonrise Towers and progress to Act 2, should you not want to go through the mountain pass. Luckily, there are a few different ways of entering the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3, which you can see in the guide below.
In total, I have managed to discover four different ways of getting into the Underdark, at least so far. You can see what those four ways are below.
Once you're in the Underdark, you will be able to visit the Mycanoid Colony, the Grymforge, the Adamantine Forge, the Arcane Tower, and many more locations. I recommend you be at least level 3-4 before trying to head into the Underdark, though, as the enemies down there can be quite rough if you're underleveled.
