Find the Githyannki and Creche Y’llek
You can find the Knife of the Undermountain King and A’jak’nir Jeera, who sells them in the Githyanki Creche. The entrance to the creche is from the Monastery, where it’s worth exploring the area and solving ceremonial weapon puzzles to get the Blood of Lathander, a mighty legendary mace.
To access Creche Y’llek, make your way to the eastern side of the Monastery, where you can jump down from the damaged stairs (X: 109; Y: 22). You’ll encounter another set of stairs leading to the Creche, a location with NPCs, valuable treasures, merchants, and potential side quests. A’jak’nir Jeera (X:1389 Y:-821), a local vendor, can be found directly east of the main hall where you initially arrive—or situated north of the Creche Y’llek fast travel waypoint in a small cave area. You can acquire the Knife of the Undermountain King from her for 1392 Gold.
If you aim to obtain the legendary mace, your next step is to proceed to the Inquisitor Chambers, which is also part of the Lae’zel and Remove Toadpole questlines. Remember that to obtain the item from the vendor, you must act friendly towards Githyanki first.
