How to Enter Jaheira's Basement in Baldur's Gate 3

When you enter Jaheira's study, you have to pass a perception test to discover the "Pin Slot", which opens the Insert Item dialog shown above. Insert the Harp-Shaped Pin acquired from Tate, a child on hiding in one of the rooms on the 2nd Floor of Elerrathin's Home, to reveal the entrance to Jaheira's Basement.

The Harp-Shaped Pin can also be acquired in these three other areas:

• Act I: At the Grymforge, you can loot Jhaam's corpse to get this item (X: -633 Y: 385)
• Act II: In Moonrise Towers Prison, look for a pile of viscera in the Oubliette (X: 625 Y: -100)
• Act III: Inside a mahogany casket in the Mortuary (X: 40 Y: 30)

Note that bringing Jaheira with you will disable the traps that will otherwise impede your progress through this area, and also provide a bunch of additional dialog.

Later, once inside the Basement, you'll find a set of Loose Planks behind a DC 20 perception check, which hide the key to the bookcase door. The planks are protected by a DC 15 trap that you'll need to disarm to retrieve the key.

Jaheira's gear is hidden behind the bookcase, which you'll detect as a hidden door if you succeed on a DC 15 Perception check. You can either use the key under the Loose Planks or succeed on a DC 18 Lockpicking check to unlock the door. Behind it are an Opulent Chest containing Staff of the Ram and Belm, and a Display Case containing Khalid's Gift. 

There's also a "Rite of the Timeless Body" scroll on a table. After reading it, you can ask Jaheira about it for some more dialog, though no apparent gameplay benefit.
