If Lae'zel is with you, you gain {{Approval|Lae'zel|+5}} and she will insist on using the machine first. If you select ''"Stand back. I'm going first,"'' followed by ''"You would still be hunting for this place without my guidance. I will be cured first,"'' you gain {{Approval|Lae'zel|+3}}. Alternatively, allowing her to be purified will gain you {{Approval|Lae'zel|+10}}. If you instead select ''"Make way, Lae'zel. I am purging myself of this damned parasite"'' and subsequently commit to that decision, she will turn hostile against you along with the Ghustil.

If Lae'zel is the one in the machine, you will not see any saving throw screens. It is possible that the persuasion/deception rolls on behalf of the player take the place of the saving throws. Choosing to tell her to remain in the machine each turn seems to cause her to automatically take the corresponding penalty. Regardless, you will gain {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}}.

Each failed saving throw will, respectively, give -2 to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Constitution. Consuming a {{RarityItem|Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen}} with the affected character, either through the inventory or by unlocking an Illithid Power, will get rid of these debuffs. One specimen will get rid of all three debuffs; multiple are not needed.
