How to Start Visit the Emperor’s Old Hideout

When you arrive in the Lower City, head northwest past the Stormshore Tabernacle until you reach the Elfsong Tavern. As you approach, the Emperor will telepathically speak with you, sharing that you’re near his former haunt, and he suggests you seek it out since there may still be useful supplies waiting for you. This automatically adds the quest to your journal.

How to Enter the Emperor’s Old Hideout

Enter the Elfsong Tavern, then walk into the kitchen and down the stairs to Roveer's Storehouse. It’s full of rats, which you can wipe out quickly with a cleric’s Spirit Guardians.

Once they’re cleared out, head to the northwest corner of the basement with the wine bottles to activate a button hidden nearby. This will open one of the kegs against the north wall, revealing a hidden passage.

Head through the doors to the next room, where a Githyanki squad is waiting to attack you.

Target the Gate Masters first, since they can bring reinforcements through their portals. The casters in general can be troublesome since they can cast spells that will inconvenience and hinder your party. Once they’re defeated head to the statue on the north end of the room. Hidden behind it is a button that will reveal another secret passage.

Head into the final room here and pick up the glowing Sword of the Emperor on the nearby counter.

This brings the quest to an end, but the sword and anything else you can find in this room is your reward. There’s also a rear exit from this room that leads to the sewers.
