Mind Flayer Brain

Not to be confused with Elder Brain

The Mind Flayer Brain is a story item in Baldur's Gate 3.

This sticky, greying mass exudes a slightly sweet, putrid odour.

Properties

•  Consumables
•  Single Use
•  Rarity: Story Item
•  Weight: 0.2 kg (0.4 lb)
•  Price: 1 gp

Condition: Devouring Brain

 Devouring Brain

• The starving illithid is fully focused on eating its first brain in an age.
• Consuming the brain provides the equivalent of one Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen.

Where to find

• Part of the newborn Mind Flayer in the Windmill Basement

Notes

• Consuming this has the same effect as consuming a  Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen in granting the ability to choose a new power from Illithid powers. However, consuming it after having fed the newborn mind flayer does not grant the bonus, triggering the message: "It's no good - it won't be any use now. It's overripend thanks to your feeding."

Bugs

• In what may be an oversight, this brain has no effect if eaten by a character who has not consumed any Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen before.
