Lilarcor gives immunity to charm and confusion, not hold.

Chaotic Commands is the best protection spell against illithids. The Shield of Harmony is nice as well, and have your melee fighters drink some int raising pots before engaging the mind flayers, try to get their intelligence at 11+ or 16+ so they can take a few hits from the Ulitharids who drain 5 int at a time ( when you reach 0 you die ). Keep NPCs without psionic protection away from the front line fighters, as the mind flayer stun is area effect. Max out fighters AC as much as possible as well. Illithids have been implemented incorrectly in BG2, they are only supposed to be able to drain int if a player has been stunned, in PnP anyway. This would make them far too wussy in the comp game.
