Pinpointing Bhaal’s Door

To find Bhaal’s Door, delve into the sewers and make your way north to the Undercity Ruins waypoint. There you’ll see it – a massive wall blocking your path, immune to lockpicks or brute force. This blood seal demands a fitting sacrifice before it will open.

Cracking the Blood Seal

To open Bhaal’s Door, turn away from the doorway itself and look up. Hanging overhead are two lifeless bodies. Use ranged attacks or spells to strike the corpses until blood spills onto the circular platform below. Once sufficiently saturated, the seal will dissolve and the way forward opens.

I found simple archer shots worked fine; no need to waste abilities on it. The blood offering is macabre but necessary to proceed.

What Lies Within

Beyond Bhaal’s Door, the road to the Temple of Bhaal is still perilous. The Farslayer and his hordes bar the way, and won’t let you pass easily. But with skill and determination, you can defeat them and finally breach the temple, where secrets like Dribbles the Clown’s severed head await the bold.

While Bhaal’s Door is but the first trial, it need not be the last. For cunning adventurers willing to do what’s necessary, the way through Bhaal’s blood seal is open. Now steel yourself, and see what other dark wonders Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Undercity Ruins have in store!
