What You'll Learn
The location of the tombstones
Candulhallow's Tombstones is located in the Lower City in Baldur's Gate 3. It is a small, seemingly abandoned building that can be found northeast of the Elfsong Tavern at X: 74 Y: 25. If you go directly north of the Stormshore Tabernacle, you will find a small alleyway across from the Elfsong Tavern that leads to the building.
The building serves as a front to hide the Murder Tribunal and the Temple of Bhaal, which can be accessed by completing the Investigate the Murders questline. The entrance to the building can be lockpicked, or a key can be used if the party killed Dolor.
Once inside the building, you will need to find the hidden entrance to the Bhaalist Crypt. To do this, you must move a painting on the wall, revealing a button. The painting is described as a "Butterfly on Skull" or a skull and butterfly painting, and it is located either near a desk and opposite an empty wardrobe or opposite a bookshelf. Pressing the button will move the wardrobe or bookshelf, revealing the entrance to the Bhaalist Crypt.
It is important to note that you will need the passphrase to enter the Bhaalist Crypt, which can be obtained by confronting a dwarf wearing red armour or by killing Dolor at the Wine Festival.

Getting the passphrase
To get the passphrase to enter the Bhaalist Crypt at Candulhallow Tombstones, players must first pursue the )"Investigate the Murders" subquest. This involves finding the key to the shop, either by picking the lock or by pursuing the "Investigate the Murders" quest first and obtaining the key.

What to do after entering
Once you have entered Candle Hollow Tombstones, there are several things to do. Firstly, you need to find the door to the Bhaalist Crypt, which is a key part of Orin's questline. You will need to pursue the "Investigate the Murders" questline and meet the Murder Tribunal. This will allow you to get inside the Temple of Bhaal and try to save your companion Orin, who has been kidnapped. You will also be able to fight for her netherstone.
To get through the door, you will need a passphrase. You can obtain this passphrase by confronting a dwarf in red armour who is trying to poison Orin.

Once you have the passphrase, you can enter through the door. Immediately upon entering the basement, you will see a sign that reads "Flaming Fists this Way."
