::''Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark'' was published by Wizards of the Coast, written by Eric L. Boyd, and published in 1999. It details the Underdark in the north and west of Faerûn, including the city of Menzoberranzan. The book has Drizzt Do'Urden as its nominal guide. The guide starts with an introduction that defines the physical boundaries of the Underdark, and also describes the intent and organization of the book and gives a brief list of ''D&D'' materials which have a strong connection to the Underdark. A critical review describes it as "...the single-most comprehensive sourcebook on the realms of the Underdark that lie beneath the ''Sword Coast''. It talks about the major peoples of the Underworld and details dozens of cities, including Menzoberranzan". It further states, "...Boyd's extensive research results in ''Underdark'' being full of tiny references."

Locations and characters described in the book can be used as foundations on which proper Dalelands scenarios can be built. This is the fifth installment of Volo's guides to the ''Forgotten Realms''. Trenton Webb reviewed ''Volo's Guide to the Dalelands'' for ''Arcane'' magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall.
