To the west of the brain room there's an opening in the Nautiloid's shell. An outer path leads northwest, where you have your first encounter with the [[Githyanki]] soldier [[Lae'zel]], who was previously seen being infected with a tadpole in the opening cinematic. | To the west of the brain room there's an opening in the Nautiloid's shell. An outer path leads northwest, where you have your first encounter with the [[Githyanki]] soldier [[Lae'zel]], who was previously seen being infected with a tadpole in the opening cinematic. If you are playing the Lae'zel [[Origins|origin]], you will encounter [[Losiir]] instead. | ||
As Lae'zel jumps down from a ledge to attack you, the telepathic connection between you caused by the mind flayer larva makes her realize that you're not under mind control, and that the two of you could cooperate. She insists that you go to the helm of the Nautiloid, where you can take control of it, but first you need to clear the way by battling [[Lesser Imp|imps]]. | As Lae'zel jumps down from a ledge to attack you, the telepathic connection between you caused by the mind flayer larva makes her realize that you're not under mind control, and that the two of you could cooperate.

In this room you will be greeted by a pair of knocked out cultists on chairs, and some sort of control panel with three pairs of sigils and buttons. Lae'zel will warn you not to touch anything. | In this room you will be greeted by a pair of knocked out cultists on chairs, and some sort of control panel with three pairs of sigils and buttons.

1. You also hear a woman trapped in a mind flayer pod thudding against its glass encasing. It's [[Shadowheart]], who will suggest you try to use the contraption next to the pod to get it opened. Interacting with the contraption will reveal that there is an empty socket of some sort. You need an object to fit in there (see the next section). On the other side of Shadowheart's pod, there is a backpack with gold and a random gem. | 1. You also hear a woman trapped in a mind flayer pod thudding against its glass encasing.

2. To the south, there's a table with various objects on it: a [[Burnished Necklace]], [[Dark Mind]] (a brain in a jar), the [[Illithid Manuscript]], which seems to tell a story about "a brain, a githyanki warrior, and centuries of darkness", and a locked [[Elaborate Reliquary]]. You might be able to pick the lock of the reliquary; otherwise, you can look for the key (see below). It contains gold and an [[Onyx]]. | 2.

3. Going back towards the entrance, you can look at the sigils on the control panel. Each will trigger an [[Arcana]] Check to allow you to read it. The left one says "Unleash," the middle one "Aggression," and the right one "Annihilate". The Unleash button apparently makes psionic energy radiate from the two knocked out cultists, but it's unclear what use this has (It does not allow you to talk to them. This might be just unimplemented yet). The Aggression button will make them become hostile against you. Annihilate will kill them. Making them attack you and then defeating them gives you 10 XP each if you're into that. Looting them can also be done by just pressing Annihilate. | 3.

You might notice that an intellect devourer occasionally walks through this room. The intellect devourer won't drop any loot if it is killed. If you choose to attack this intellect devourer for the extra XP, note that [[Us]] will attack you at will, unless you successfully mutilated it and gave it the [[Lobotomised]] condition. | You might notice that an intellect devourer occasionally walks through this room.
