The Zhentarim Hideout is hidden within Waukeen's Rest, found at (X;-64, Y:566).

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.

'Free The Artist' Quest

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.

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.

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.
