In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Uncovered Mysteries is a necklace with a helpful spell, Detect Thoughts. You don’t need to wear it constantly; have the item in your backpack, and you can cast the spell whenever you need it during the next conversation or cutscene. The effect lasts until a long rest and requires concentration. In Arcane Tower, you’ll find many other great items. Still, you must get the Guiding Light and unlock the basement in the Arcane Tower Basement, where you can find other fantastic items such as Staff of Arcane Blessing, The Sparkswall, and Light of Creation.

You can equip it to your character’s neck slot in the inventory, providing additional bonuses and buffs. There are no requirements for this item. You can equip it on any class, companion, or character.

Blighted Village - Entrance to the Spider Cave - Whispering Depths - Location in Baldur's Gate 3

To get the Uncovered Mysteries, you must first enter the Underdark. There are a few entrances, including trying the Shattered Sanctum and Auntie Ethel’s house, but I’ll quickly explain how to get there through the Whispering Depths underneath Blighted Village. You’ll need the potion, scroll, or spell of Feather Fall, so ensure you have one before proceeding.

Find the Underdark

BG3 Whispering Depths

Set your course west from Emerald Grove, and you’ll easily find the Blighted Village and a well in the middle. You must pass an Investigation skill check of 10 DC, to use it and climb down to the Whispering Depths. Inside the cave system, there are giant Spiders and Spider Matriarchs (X: -543 Y: -366). You must defeat them first, so we advise you to reach at least level 3 so you’ll have no problem with the fight and surviving in the Underdark.

Once you are ready and defeated the spiders, you need to jump down the big tunnel (X: -543 Y: -366) leading straight down to the Underdark, and that’s when you need the Feather Fall spell. Use it so you won’t take any fall damage. In the Underdark, you must find the Arcane Tower. For a detailed description of how to find Underdark, defeat Bernard, or solve it peacefully, and how to unlock the Arcane Tower Basement, please check out the Arcane Tower guide.
