# '''Necrotic Laboratory''' - In the South East (X:715 Y:-49). This area has lots of undead and a brain mapping problem to get access to the [[Blade of Oppressed Souls]] and a wall decoration talking about the Mind Flayer Grand Scheme. On a skeleton here you will find the [[Circlet of Mental Anguish]] and [[Braindrain Gloves]]. Near the Blade of Oppressed Souls you will find a brain jar called [[Waking Mind]] that you need to insert into the nearby Mind-Archive Interface (X:699, Y:-117) and talk to the Slack-Skinned Head to gain a permanent buff - [[Githzerai Mind Barrier]] if you purge the mind. The [[True Mind]], [[Willing Mind]], [[Butchered Mind]], [[Closed Mind]] and [[Fresh Mind]] brain jars elsewhere on the ship, as well as the [[Dark Mind]] and [[Slave Mind]] brain jars from the [[Nautiloid]], will only give dialogue.

In the next area you can find [[Mizora]] stuck in a pod. Free her if you want to advance Wyll's quest ([[The Blade of Frontiers]]).
