Confront the Elder Brain: Difference between revisions

[[File:CTNB Quest Ending Gale Alone vs Brain Stem.jpg|350px|thumb|''"Though our time together will be exceptionally brief. Farewell, and happy landing."'']] Depending on the choices made prior to crossing the "point of no return" and if [[Gale]] is in the party, interacting with the Brain Stem can trigger a short conversation between him and the player character. It is now possible to let Gale climb the Brain Stem alone and use his orb to destroy the Netherbrain. If that happens then all the fights described in the rest of this article '''are completely avoided.''' After a cutscene with Gale activiating the orb, the party will get directly to the endings and after that to the epilogue of the game.

The Netherbrain is guarded by four [[Illithid Arcanist|Illithid Arcanists]] and a [[Dominated Red Dragon]]. There are also sixteen [[Tentacle]] enemies hidden under the brain's surface that will appear if an allied character travels within 3m/10ft of them.
