Illithid Arcanist is a type of hostile Aberration character in Baldur's Gate 3

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Many Illthid Arcanists will appear during several combat encounters at the High Hall and Atop the Netherbrain. Illithid Arcanists have 2 variants: one with Fire Shield: Chill and Fire resistance, and another with Fire Shield: Warm and Cold resistance. Their version of Magic Missile deals more damage, fires more missiles, and has a significantly longer range. This makes them dangerous if not dealt with quickly. If pushed or thrown off the top of the Netherbrain during the final battle, Illithid Arcanists will simply teleport back to their former position.
