How in Avernus did I totally miss this secret treasure-stuffed shortcut to the Underdark in Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3 no less than seven times?

Baldur's Gate 3 guide to getting into the Zhentarim hideout and then the Underdark, with a wood elf druid female with glowing eyes shown looking at the viewer.

I've played Baldur's Gate 3 a lot now. And, let me tell you, I've played through Act 1 more times than a lot. I just can't help creating new characters! This restart-itus has become even worse recently, too, thanks to me delving into the world of Baldur's Gate 3 cosmetic mods, which are letting me take character aesthetics to a whole new level.

And, while I'm now overly familiar with Act 1 of Baldur's Gate 3, I'm still astonished that after playing through the game so many times, with so many different characters, I'm still being surprised by in-game content that I've never seen before, such as my recent discovery of a swag-laden shortcut into the Underdark that I'd totally missed on every other run to date. Naturally, spoilers now follow.
