Mind Flayer Colony: Difference between revisions

When arriving from the Moonrise Towers Rooftop, destroy the membrane and move forward. The colony has many intellect devourers running around, which will only become hostile if a fight breaks out nearby.

== Overview ==

[[Us]] can be found here if it was not destroyed on the [[Nautiloid]], imprisoned by [[Chop]], a bugbear who creates [[Intellect Devourer|intellect devourers]]. If Us is freed, the player will be rewarded with the item [[Summon Us]].

 

If the player threatens to kill Chop, he will respond as though he wants the player to kill him. Despite this, attacking him will still make Chop and the surrounding intellect devourers (except for Us) hostile. Nonetheless, Chop will comment that he is "free at last" as he is killed. The intellect devourers outside of the morgue will remain neutral.

Balthazar's necrotic laboratory can be found in the south-east of the map, at {{Coords|715|-49}}. When you enter the area, a battle with several undead will commence.

 

 

* The [[True Mind]], [[Willing Mind]], [[Butchered Mind]], [[Closed Mind]] and [[Fresh Mind]] brain jars elsewhere in the Colony, as well as the [[Dark Mind]] and [[Slave Mind]] brain jars from the [[Nautiloid]], will only give dialogue.

Mol's [[Eyepatch]] and a [[Prayer for Forgiveness|note]] concerning Enver Gortash and The Dark Urge can be found on a table near the mind-archive interface.

[[Zevlor]] can be found here for the [[Find Zevlor]] quest. There is a long room filled with pods; some contain non-hostile humanoid characters, including Zevlor, while others contain [[mind flayers]]. A Neural Apparatus at {{Coords|689|17}} gives the player a choice between purging all of the pods (illithid and humanoid alike) and opening them all.  

If the player chooses to purge the pods, Zevlor will die; if they open the pods, they must fight several mind flayers and intellect devourers (though the newly-freed NPCs will fight alongside the player, providing significant aid.)

Zevlor and the other survivors can potentially turn hostile if they are damaged by the player, including via spell AOE effects such as Cloud of Daggers or Flame Wall.

In the next area, [[Mizora]] is stuck in a pod. The player may free her in order to advance [[The Blade of Frontiers]], Wyll's companion quest.

The left control is "annihilate," the right one is "release":

* If Mizora is freed and Wyll is in the party, Mizora may be persuaded (DC 14) for a reward; this results in her giving Wyll the [[Infernal Rapier]], a unique Very Rare rapier.

* Killing Mizora via the "annihilate" button results in Wyll dying as well.

=== Barracks ===

In the north-eastern corner of the colony are the barracks, where the party will meet [[Kressa Bonedaughter]] and her Skull Lashers. Kressa will recognise [[The Dark Urge]], and can recount some of their history while under her care in the colony. After some dialogue, battle commences with Kressa and her crew. The player may fight them or deceive them.

* [[Oubliette]]

* The player can overhear Chop from the [[Oubliette]], suggesting that the Morgue and Oubliette share a wall. However, the Mind Flayer Colony cannot be accessed until the end of Act Two, and the player character will note aloud that there's no way through.
