{{Q|I assume you came to me seeking an exorcism?|Mystic Carrion}}

'''Mystic Carrion''' is an [[Undead]] [[Mummy (race)|Mummy Lord]] in [[Baldur's Gate]]. He resides on the lower floor of [[Philgrave's Mansion]] and acts as a [[Trader]]. Several Ghouls roam the mansion as Mystic Carrion uses them for his dark work.

== Overview ==
=== Quests ===
* [[Find Mystic Carrion's Servant]]
* [[Unlock the Ancient Tome]]

== Involvement ==
Mystic Carrion is encountered by entering Philgrave's Mansion - either by detecting and lockpicking the stone wall, or by using the hole in the wall {{Coords|29|-166}} to sneak in, or by lockpicking the balcony entrance.

Carrion asks the party what they are doing because they do not have an appointment. He explains that he is a spirit medium who works with wealthy clients in the [[Upper City]]. Carrion believes the party is too poor to seek his services, but asking "Is there anything I can do for you?" will get his attention. He does indeed have a job - seeking out his lost servant, [[Thrumbo]]. 

This starts the quest [[Find Mystic Carrion's Servant]]. If the party chooses to ally with [[Thrumbo]] and destroy any of Mystic Carrion's organs, then he will become hostile and attack them as soon as they return to Philgrave's Mansion. Likewise if the party has destroyed any of Mystic Carrion's organs before ever meeting him, he will be immediately hostile.

If the party 'kills' Mystic Carrion before destroying {{RarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Heart}} and then takes a long rest, Carrion will resurrect himself, destroy [[Thrumbo]] and his friends, and hide his heart in the basement of Philgrave's Mansion.

If the player started the quest [[Search the Cellar]] and obtained or read [[Necromancy of Thay|The Necromancy of Thay]], Mystic Carrion offers his services of spirit channeling for 1500 gold. If accepted, the spirits tell of another book called [[The Tharchiate Codex]] located in [[Sorcerous Sundries]], which they claim is key to unlocking the power of The Necromancy of Thay.

== Organs ==
Mystic Carrion has hidden his organs in jars located around the [[Lower City]]. He possess powerful buffs as long as these jars remain intact.
* {{RarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Heart}}: Hidden inside Thrumbo's body
* {{RarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Brain}}: Hidden inside the [[Ancient Lair]]
* {{RarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Liver}}: Hidden inside the [[Ancient Lair]]
* {{RarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Lungs}}: Hidden inside the [[Mortuary]] basement of the [[Graveyard (Lower City)|Lower City Graveyard]]

== Attacks and Abilities ==
* {{SAI|Cloudkill}}
* {{SAI|Torrential Undeath}} (''Honor'' mode only)

== Store ==
Corresponds to {{c|LOW_MysticCarrion_Trade_Magic}}.
* {{MdRarityItem|Veil of the Morning}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Armour of the Sporekeeper}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Hood of the Weave}}

== Loot ==
* {{MdRarityItem|Staff of Cherished Necromancy}}
* {{RarityColor|story|Key}} (opens the locked double doors upstairs; ultimately leads to a hatch which gives access to the [[Philgrave's Mansion|mansion's]] basement)
* {{RarityColor|story|Rusty Key}} (for the {{SmIconLink|Jeweled Chest A Faded.webp|Gilded Chest}})

== Notes ==
* Behind Mystic Carrion is a locked gilded chest.
{{Chest
|icon=Jeweled Chest A Faded.webp
|link=Gilded Chest
|DC=25
|contents=
* {{MdRarityItem|Acquisitions Record}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Torch of Revocation}}
}}

== Bugs ==
* As of Patch 5 Hotfix 17, the secret wall door on the balcony can be opened using a [[Gilded Chest]] as key. This is likely a bug. It is currently unknown if it is a specific Gilded Chest or any. {{verify}}
