How To Find The Zhentarim Hideout
The Zhentarim Hideout is hidden within Waukeen's Rest, found at (X;-64, Y:566).
At Waukeen's Rest, you'll encounter the 'Rescue the Grand Duke' quest, which we have a full guide for here.
Head to the Shabby Door at (X:-114, Y:614) within Waukeen's Rest. You'll have to pass a couple of Skill Checks upon entering if you haven't already received the password or used Detect Thoughts to uncover it, after which your would-be attacker will give you a key and welcome you to use the secret entrance hatch at (X:-128, Y:616).
Next, use the key on the Wardrobe at (X:382, Y:-260) in the next chamber and then descend the stairs.
Inside the hideout, you'll meet Zarys and may have to pass another skill check depending on your prior choices. Once inside, there are a few things to do.
There are many valuable items down here to loot, though you'll have to pickpocket some of the Zhentarim for keys to get to some of the better goods.
Be warned that if you are found to be stealing from them, the Zhentarim will all turn hostile towards you.
How To Expand Trader Brem's Wares
Inside the hideout, there is a trader named Brem that sells wares. You can find him around (X:294, Y:-251).
You can expand Brem's wares to include a wide range of rare, decent gear if you find the missing shipment for the Zhentarim and return it unopened.

You can find an artist by the name of Oskar within the hideout at (X:291, Y:-251). You can help him out by saving him in a couple of ways:
- Speak to Brem and purchase Oskar, either for 1,000 gold (or 600 gold if you pass a successful Persuasion check).
- Kill all the Zhentarim.
Once he is free, you can speak to Oskar again and choose whether to give him 200 gold to him on his way.
We have a complete guide on the 'Free the Artist' quest here.
Find The Missing Shipment Quest
You can read Zarys' mind to find out about Rugan and the missing cargo, or just speak to her, and she'll offer you a job. If, by chance, you have not done anything with the Gnolls and caravan, this unlocks the 'Find The Missing Shipment' Quest.
If you already have the Caravan Strongbox, you can:
- Hand it over to receive the Harold light crossbow and some gold, as well as expanding Brem's wares.
- If you have already opened it and try and give her the opened chest or the contents, this will immediately trigger a fight with the Zhentarim.
Defeating them means you can loot their bodies, including taking the Zhentarim Key from Zarys, but the Zhentarim will all be hostile to you, which could lead to further repercussions later in the game.
Entrance To The Underdark
Around (X:272, Y: -186), there is a false wall that your party can alert you to if they pass a Perception check. Inside is an elevator that can take you down to the Underdark, but you'll need a key.
You can pickpocket the guard called Karad, who patrols the area, to be able to use the elevator, but make sure you're not discovered.
Be warned that going anywhere near this area and being seen by the Zhentarim will make them attack you.
