hello,
first of all i'm a new user.(and in need of help!) I entered the mindflayer(illithid) lair before the drow city! I'm having trouble escaping,(getting the doors open to the exit and the head brains's room) Should i go back to a previous safe or try and get through. If so how do i get a collar on the flayers.(the first time i opened the doors i actually had to dominate them!) I've already done most of the areas here and have the anti psionic flasks, so going back is a last possible thing i want to do. do i have to do the drow city first? thanks... |

Definitely go back to a previous save. The mindflayer lair is an optional quest you'll receive once you've performed a few tasks in the Drow city. It's not useful until then, and it is a pretty lethal place without a well-prepared party. [img]smile.gif[/img]

What level is your party? Do you have a ring or item that grants free action? Do you have a summoning wand, boots of speed, and plenty of potions for raising intelligence?

...Only if you have your Slayer ability. You need all that muscle for something. Of course, I forgot that exporting and reimporting the character removes Slayer ability while it grants Bhaalspawn abilities again... lol, WHUPS! I had to fix THAT one...

You shouldn't have any problem with that party--provided, as Toriuxik stated, you can already turn into the Slayer. But you've been through Spellhold, so that shouldn't be a problem. It's the toughest Underdark area, IMO, unless you cheese your way through. (I don't.)

SPOILER...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There are a pair of essential doors in the Mind Flayer area that require your PC to turn into the Slayer to open. I've read elsewhere that mind controlling (with a collar, from another quest) an illithi lets it open one of the doors, but I've tried this without success. |
