{{hatnote|See [[Prologue|Escape the Nautiloid]] for a detailed guide of this area}}
The '''Nautiloid''' is a [[location]] in [[Chapter One]]. The player arrives on the Nautiloid immediately after character creation.

==Locations==
=== Related areas ===
*[[Ravaged Beach]]

=== Nursery ===
This area is a [[Mind Flayer]] nursery, and the initial area the player will wake in. In the centre of the room is a pool filled with larvae that can be [[Investigation|Investigated]], and will explode and damage the player after touching it.

=== Surgery room ===
Adjacent to the nursery, this room contains a small elevator which can be taken to find a dying elf whose brain can be removed to free [[Us]].

Moving out of the brain room will trigger a scene with [[Lae'zel]] (or [[Losiir]] when playing as Lae'zel), who will join the player while on the Nautiloid.

=== Ceremorphosis chambers ===
On the northern side of the Nautiloid are two adjoining rooms. In the first is a pod with [[Shadowheart]], which can be opened with a slate found on a dead body in the eastern end of the next room.

=== Helm ===
After leaving the ceremorphosis chambers, The party will enter the helm of the ship, where a [[Mind Flayer]] and [[Cambion]], [[Zhalk]], are fighting. Once the party enters this room a countdown of 15 turns begins to reach the transponder on the other side of the room.

*{{CharLink|Lae'zel}} (Companion)
*{{CharLink|Shadowheart}} (Companion)

== Interactions ==
* The nursery in the first room can be [[Investigation|Investigated]] to discover it is about to break.
* In the room adjoining the nursery, the player can meet [[Us]].
* In the room with [[Shadowheart]]s pod is a control panel with labels that can be read with an [[Arcana]] check.
** The left label reads "Unleash," the middle one "Aggression," and the right one "Annihilate".
* In the room adjoining Shadowheart's is a pod containing an unresponsive woman. Using the button on the console behind her will cause her to undergo ceremorphosis.
** With an Arcana check the label reads "Perfect".

==Notable loot==
Notable items obtained in this location, whether looted, purchased, or obtained as a quest reward:
*{{RarityItem|Everburn Blade}} disarmed or looted from [[Zhalk]]
*{{RarityItem|Dark Mind}}
*{{RarityItem|Slave Mind}}

== Fun fact / strategy. ==
when playing as a custom character, If Lae'zel is killed before reaching the helm. instead of being captured in a trap and found by two tieflings, she will be dead on the beach after the crash, and can be revived. At time of writing it is uncertain if this applies to Shadoheart. this can be a great way to get a head start for honour mode
