Once the player attempts to cross the bridge leading to the [[Goblin Camp]] in [[Act One]], a cutscene triggers. It is revealed that the [[Mysterious Artefact]] [[Shadowheart]] took on the [[Nautiloid]] is able to shield the player and companions from the Absolute's influence. During the next [[long rest]], they will be visited by the [[Dream Guardian]] who encourages the player to accept and wield the power the tadpole gives. This dream starts the [[Embrace Your Potential]] quest and enables the party to consume tadpoles in exchange for illithid powers. | |||
Once the quest has started, consuming [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]s, such as from the corpses of other infected, will allow the player to unlock new powers. Karlach, Wyll, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart will initially refuse to use illithid powers, but can be convinced to use them through [[Persuasion]] checks. The opportunity to convince these party members to partake in illithid powers will be provided again in early Act Three, if they remain reluctant early on. | |||
