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 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 entering this room a count down begins to reach the transponder on the other side of the room.
