I'm running dungeon of the mad mage, and one of my players (a paladin) found some of Xanathar's lackies. He is now on a quest to find and kill (be killed by) Xanathar.
I know that Xanathar's lair is connected to Skullport, which in turn connected to the dungeon of the Mad Mage level 3.
Is there a way for my players to find his lair in Skullport described in either of the books? Or should I just make it up?
My players did not play Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but I own the source, and I know his lair is in the book. It seems like the book does not tell you how to access his lair from Skullport.
I read through both modules but couldn‘t find the link on the mad mage‘s side. In Dragon Heist there is a clear indication in area X4, but in Mad Mage I can only find 2 entrances from the west side of Level 3 to Skullport, Skull Island - with one connecting entrance to the Sargauth level?!? and no further hint on how this connects to the tunnel to the dungeon in Dragon heist.
Allright, Map 25 lower level of Skullport location 22 Guts & Garters lists a staircase leading down with a connection to Dragon heist. Abit incomplete and not really well thought of, but at least a connection. I guess WotC wrote those adventures independent and simply stuck them together with not much thought.

It's about as easy as making up a connecting tunnel that takes them from Skullport and/or Level 3 to an area you want them to be at in the Hideout.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't creating something that was there, and I overlooked.
I'll likely end up doing just as you suggested. thank you!
The Skullport chapter in DotMM describes a tunnel to the Canathat’s lair under a certain tavern I believe.
