Baldur's Gate Wiki

The Crypt (near Arenthis & Risa) is a non-descript tomb located in the southeast corner of the Graveyard district. There are no exterior clues as to what is inside. The door is locked(20).

Description[]

The interior tomb is a single square chamber with a tall ceiling with only the one door to enter/exit. Carved columns are visible at key junctions of the chamber to support the roof structure. A raised pedestal-style sarcophagus lies in the center, with ascending steps at the base and a flaming oil brazier set atop the stone lid. Several large stone skull faces adorn one wall, and various crumbling debris is scattered around the floor.

The sarcophagus is locked(36) and within is found the Staff of Curing and an item of average random treasure.

Enhanced Edition content[]

As shown on the map artwork in the info box, the northwest wall has a secret doorway (lavender discoloration). This secret door will only be accessible if Gorion's Ward has accepted the thief Clara from the Copper Coronet into the party and are undertaking the beginning stages of Hexxat's request. That doorway leads to Dragomir's Tomb. None of this is applicable to the original game.

With the Quest Pack mod installed, as part of "The Tragedy of Besamen" component, the first time this tomb is entered will trigger dialogue with a zombie-like Undead creature who is actually Besamen, a soul not at rest and its plight to find eternal rest.
