How do I open this sink trap?

Question

I have a clogged sink in my bathroom. Tried a bunch of things already, like chemicals, a pump plunger - no success. I don't know what's in there but it seems serious.
The next step would be to open the trap and clean it but I have no idea how to open/disassemble it. Pictures below. Any help?

That bottom piece should unscrew by turning it counter clockwise. They usually come with a tool to unscrew it. You can use a steel washer and a pair of pliers or a large screwdriver. You don't want to be laying under it when you unscrew it.... don't ask how I know.
