Dungeons & Dragon’s newest adventure, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus, is just a few weeks away. We here at IGN have been eager to explore more of Faerun’s most dangerous city – and, of course, the infernal planes it leads to – since it was first revealed a D&D Live 2019.
We invited Dungeons & Dragons Game Designer Kate Welch and D&D artist Tyler Jacobson (who did the cover art for Avernus) to show myself, Casey DeFreitas and Brandin Tyrrel what it takes to survive a trip to Avernus. Kate leads us on a quest from Baldur’s Gate and into the top level of the Nine Hells – though whether we make it back or not remains to be seen!
