The final stages of Act Three take place in the Upper City, an area not accessible otherwise.

Rivington[edit | edit source]

Rivington is the southern-most district of Baldur's Gate, making up part of the outer city. Due to the Absolute's army marching towards the Gate, many displaced peoples have travelled there seeking refugee. However, the refugees have been barred from the city, and are instead set up in camps around Rivington, with a Requisitioned Barn holding donations.

Within Rivington, the Circus of the Last Days, Open Hand Temple and Gur Camp can be found, as well as the places of business; Rivington General and Sword Coast Couriers.

Wyrm's Crossing[edit | edit source]

Wyrm's Crossing is a double-bridge structure spanning the Chionthar river, with many shops and businesses found along it. In order to reach the city, the crossing and its two bridges must be passed, and then on past Wyrm's Rock Fortress where Lord Enver Gortash is being inaugurated.

Lower City[edit | edit source]

The Lower City makes up a large part of the city, with many places of business, factories and homes, such as the Elfsong Tavern, the Steel Watch Foundry, and Sorcerous Sundries. Its many streets and alleys hide various secrets and characters to discover, as well as entrances to the Lower City Sewers.

The Lower City can be accessed after passing through Wyrm's Rock Fortress.
