A zone accessible, while the world has the blessing of the gods...
The Underworld is one of the [[Realms of the Gods]], the realm of [[Grenth]], god of death. It is a very advanced area and [[mob]]s are very strong there.
 
 
After being granted access to [[the Underworld]] by the [[Voice of Grenth]], you will find yourself next to several ghosts ([[Gwen (Pre-searing)|Gwen's]] mother [[Sarah]], among others), [[Lost Soul|one]] of whom will offer you the quest [[Clear the Chamber]]. It is recommended to first kill all monsters in the surrounding area before accepting this quest. As soon as you accept the quest several doors will open, allowing you to further explore the Underworld (after you have defeated the hordes of [[Grasping Darkness]]es that will swarm you as soon as the doors are opened).
 
 
The Underworld is one of the few places where you can find [[Storm Bow]]s, [[Ghostly Staff|Ghostly Staves]], [[Eternal Bow]]s, [[Eternal Shield]]s, [[Eternal Blade]]s and the highly coveted [[Glob of Ectoplasm|Globs of Ectoplasm]].

To access the underworld, talk to an avatar of Grenth at a shrine of grenth while the world has the blessing of the gods and pay 1 Platinum, if the avatar is not there kneel before the statue to make it appear... Do note that you have to provide your worth of kung fu by Ascending! To find out more about the documentation of this, please visit guildwiki or guild wars wiki.
To access the Underworld, you need to have completed the [[ascension]] in at least one of the campaigns; you can then speak with the [[Voice of Grenth]] in the following locations, when the world has the [[Favor of the Gods]]:
 
*The [[Prophecies]] Campaign has an entrance to the Underworld in the [[Temple of the Ages]]. There is also an alternate entrance into The Underworld located in [[Lornar's Pass]].
 
*The [[Factions]] Campaign has an entrance to the Underworld in [[Zin Ku Corridor]].
 
*The [[Nightfall]] Campaign has an entrance to the Underworld in [[Chantry of Secrets]]
 
 
Note that you must pay 1 [[platinum]] (per party) to gain entrance.
 
 
An alternative way to enter The Underworld, is with a [[Passage Scroll to the Underworld]], which can be found from bosses in [[Hard Mode]], and as a normal mode drop from any monster in the Underworld as well as a possible drop from the reward chest for completion. You may also buy them from a [[Rare Scroll Trader]] when in stock.

==Various Tips and Info==
 
The Underworld is one of the hardest places in Guild Wars, so make sure your team is well prepared. Here are some tips and info that will hopefully make your visit a much longer one:
 
 
*'''NEVER''' take a quest without discussing with your '''ENTIRE''' team first. This is one of the biggest mistakes commonly to happen in a UW run, since it only takes one person to screw up the whole team.
 
 
*It is wise to make sure everyone on your team has some sort of [[voice chat]]. This will aid your party greatly in situations that require consultation with your entire team quickly. Even if a player doesn't have a mic they should still download one of these voice programs so they can ''hear'' the rest of the team.
 
 
*Converse with your team on what skills to bring '''BEFORE''' you leave for The Underworld. Having two team members with similar skills instead of having two separate builds will most likely hurt your team more than help it.
 
 
*It is a wise idea to stock up on [[Phantom Key]]s before entering The Underworld. There are usually around 5 Phantom Chests in the Underworld. The locations of the chests will sometimes vary. Sometimes two chests will spawn in a single section, other times none will.
 
 
*In the Underworld, Rangers can [[Charm Animal|charm]] the [[Black Widow]] after completing any of the quests given by a [[Reaper]] (except the [[Reaper of the Labyrinth]]). The spider will spawn near the Reaper after a person in your party has accepted the reward.
 
 
*If you're not too concerned with experience you should save all quest rewards in the case that you get a [[Death Penalty]], due to the fact that rewards will remove your DP. The down side to this is if you die and cannot be resurrected you will lose any possibility of collecting your rewards.
 
 
*If one of your party has taken the [[Restoring Grenth's Monuments]] quest and have cleared the [[Terrorweb Dryder]]s from a statue, you will be able to teleport to and from that statue to any other statue in The Underworld which you have cleared of [[Terrorweb Dryder]]s. You can use this to your advantage by teleporting behind enemies or cutting down the amount of walking to an area you already cleared but want to venture to again for whatever reason.
 
 
*If the majority of your party members have died and their bodies are in an area with huge numbers of enemies, you can use teleportation to take all the party members in your group (including the dead ones) to the location you requested. Note that teleporting will not bring dead allies back to life, it will just make it easier to resurrect them since their bodies will spawn in a location that you have previously cleared.

*The [[Tomb of the Primeval Kings]], an outpost in the [[Prophecies]] [[Crystal Desert]], used to lead to the [[Hall of Heroes]] and has been overtaken by creatures of chaos and darkness. Entering the tombs will lead to the [[Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings]], an [[explorable area]] that looks similar to the Underworld and contains many of the same monsters. Despite the similarities, it is a separate location that takes place on [[The Underworld (Tournament Map)]].
 
*The quests [[You're a Mean One, Mr. Grenth]] and [[In Grenth's Defense]] take place in the Underworld, but have different monsters. During these quests, players can freely explore the entire Underworld.
