* Whatever the answer, it lies in Baldur's Gate.

* We have finally arrived in Baldur's Gate. To face the elder brain, we must obtain the Netherstones from the three Chosen. We already have Ketheric's Netherstone.

* We have obtained Orin's Netherstone.

* We have obtained Gortash's Netherstone.

* We made a deal with Gortash. He is waiting for us under the city at the Morphic Pool, where the elder brain feeds.

* The elder brain killed Gortash and we took his Netherstone.

* With all three Netherstones in our possession, it is time to go to the Morphic Pool and face the elder brain. We should head to the sewers.

* The time has come to face the elder brain.

* We tried to dominate the elder brain, but it has become too powerful to submit to orders. The Emperor might know what went wrong.

* We drove the Emperor away - it has joined sides with what we now know to be a Netherbrain.

* We struck a deal with Raphael. He will give us the Orphic Hammer to free Orpheus - our last chance to defeat the Netherbrain - and, in exchange, we will give him the Crown of Karsus when we triumph.

* We have freed Orpheus from the globe of domination.

* We learned that only a mind flayer will be capable of wielding the stones to dominate what we now know to be a Netherbrain.

* Orpheus has become a mind flayer. We should now be able to dominate the Netherbrain.

* We gave the Netherstones to the Emperor. We should now be able to dominate the Netherbrain.

* The Emperor gave us a Supreme Tadpole, which will transform whomever consumes it into a mind flayer. If we are to defeat the Netherbrain, we must have a mind flayer on our side.

* The Netherbrain has made its way to the High Hall. We are going to have to fight or sneak our way through to reach it.

* We reached the brain stem. It's time to climb up and end this once and for all.

* Karlach made the ultimate sacrifice and became a mind flayer. We should now be able to control the Crown once we reach the Netherbrain.

* The Netherbrain has made its way to the High Hall. We are going to have to fight or sneak our way through to reach it.

* The Crown sits atop the Netherbrain, sending out an intense, pulsing aura. It's now or never: we must take control of the Crown of Karsus.

* Karlach made the ultimate sacrifice and became a mind flayer. We need to help her so she can cast Karsus' Compulsion on the Crown.

* We made the ultimate sacrifice and became illithid. We need to cast Karsus' Compulsion on the Crown.

* We successfully cast Karsus' Compulsion and can now enter what looks to be the Netherbrain's psyche manifested as a plane of existence.

* We're in the mind of the Netherbrain, where its unbreakable will is manifested in physical form. If we can break it, we can bring the Netherbrain to heel.

* We conquered our parasites, defeated the Netherbrain, and took control of our own destinies. We did it. We won. We won!
