Player characters who opted for the full Mind Flayer transformation will appear in their Mind Flayer form. The other attendees will still remark on their appearance but be happy to see them nonetheless. You have the option to hug all eligible companions and kiss your romance as a Mind Flayer.
Player characters who opted for the full Mind Flayer transformation will appear in their Mind Flayer form. The other attendees will still remark on their appearance but be happy to see them nonetheless. Like a non-illithid origin character, you will still have the option to hug [[Gale]], [[Shadowheart]], [[Karlach]], and [[Halsin]] as well as kiss your romantic partner(s) as a Mind Flayer.


However, after catching up with your third companion, you will be struck with the urge to eat their brain. A {{Ability check|Constitution|15}} is required to repress the urge{{Note|[[Inspiration]] from the completed playthrough carries over into the epilogue and can be used here.}}; if the player fails or voluntarily gives in, the companion becomes hostile and Withers unceremoniously [[Epilogue#Bad Ending|whisks the player through a portal.]]

If you romanced Astarion and remained with him as his spawn (or ally in case of illithid transformation), he will ask you to talk with the other companions to gather information and share it with him later, while he stays behind and drinks wine. He will be surprised to hear that others are somehow achieving successes in life without his supervision, but will not be interested to engage in conversation with them himself.

If kept a spawn, Astarion acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing, though this time as a valiant adventurer. He has grown acclimated to living in the darkness, developing a renewed sense of self that is accepting of his own identity and nature.  
If kept a spawn, Astarion acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing; however, he is now a heroic adventurer and only kills "the right people" who deserve it. He has grown acclimated to living in the darkness, developing a renewed sense of self that is accepting of his own identity and nature.  


Ambient chatter from Astarion as a spawn has him bemoan that Withers has brought fine wine from all over the world, but hasn't thought to bring even a single bottle of fresh blood. He goes on to try the reddest wines available, but none are blood.

[[Shadowheart|Shadowheart's]] behavior is determined by the outcome of [[Daughter of Darkness]], whether she rejected or embraced [[Shar]], and whether her parents are alive or not.

Ambient chatter from Shadowheart has her pleased at the quality of wine Withers brought for the party, before promptly wondering why the party had to scavenge food from barrels and crates during their adventure when Withers could've fed them. She then recalls a night where fourteen apples, some fish heads, and stale bread were served for dinner.

She then recalls a night where fourteen apples, some fish heads, and stale bread were served for dinner. When the player talks to her for the first time, she will autonomously hug them, making her the only companion who doesn't need to be asked first.


If she embraced Shar, she will mention how the rebuilding of Baldur's Gate has led to many new recruits, and her job as the new Mother Superior is all consuming.
If she became a Dark Justiciar, she will mention how the rebuilding of Baldur's Gate has led to many new recruits, and her job as the new Mother Superior is all consuming.


If she rejected Shar and euthanized her parents, she embarks on a life of adventuring and slaying Sharran assassins, telling of visiting the Temple of the Moon and encountering an imp named [[Bing-Bong]].

If freed of his contract, he becomes a [[Ranger]]. If he becomes the Blade of Avernus, he arrives smelling of sulfur and dressed in spiky armor that, he claims, was made from the shattered bones of slain fiends. He will share that he has a lead on getting closer to claiming his revenge on Mizora.

If left to serve his contract, he reports that he still undertakes missions on Mizora's behalf, and that his next quest has him tasked to slay a certain very powerful devil, though he cannot say more.

If Wyll, the player, and Karlach all go to Avernus together, he notes how many cambions the three of them have slain and expresses his hope for Karlach to get her engine fixed and return to Faerûn for good. Asking about Mizora reveals that she's allowed him much more freedom as the Blade of Avernus, to his own surprise; he also still mentions his next task of slaying a devil, but he's not afraid when you and Karlach have his back.


If he vows to become a duke in the city, he arrives at the party in splendid finery and tells the player of becoming acclimated to the political intrigue of Baldur's Gate.
