Confront the Elder Brain Baldur's Gate 3 Quest

We can thwart the Chosen of the Dead Three by taking control of the elder brain - but will we use that control to liberate or to conquer? 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.

We have become illithid. We should now be able to dominate the Netherbrain.

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

Karlach 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.

We made the ultimate sacrifice and became illithid. We should now be able to control the Crown once we reach the Netherbrain.

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!
