Weakened Attributes from the zaith'isk.

Is there a way to get rid of this? I never noticed this happened till many, many hours later. Is this just something permanent? I'm just never going to use the character again if so which is a shame.

You're stuck with the debuffs for the rest of your playthrough, unless you reload a previous save.

That was the case but the patch notes say that feeding the affected player tadpoles / becoming partial-illithid would fix it

I purchased the game on GoG but I think everything should be identical between GoG and Steam versions right ?

Just to give to full context I noticed this before talking to the inquisitor in the creche. I had 3 debuff (-2 for cons, int and wisdom)

At this point Lae’zel was accepting tadpoles but I did not add anything up until this moment.

I added a tadpole for “Favorable Beginnings” passive. Right after I did this all 3 debuffs are gone. (Reduced hp due to cons is also gone)

The version of the game I have as shown in the fight bottom corner of the main menu is v4.1.1.3669438

Do you have the same version running ?

I don't mind the debuff. I think it should have ALSO made it so she could no longer use words with more then one syllable!

until the patch it fixed. They are supposed to be removed with tadpoles.

I just had the same issue. In the description of the debuff it says something about consuming a tadpole might fix this. I had some unused tadpoles I put one in Lae’zel and all the debuffs are gone. Note: I convinced Lae’zel to accept tadpoles a while ago but did not put any so far.

you are the first person I have heard of this working for. I've tried it on laezel on one save, on my tav on another. Even a fresh. It doesn't remove them to use tadpoles. You just used the tadpoles to take skills and they went away ?

"This character does not wish to consume tadpoles"

It's amazing we can't get any dev response anywhere about the large number for Patch 1 changes that don't work for everyone.

People want STORY consequences, not "put this character in the bin because their stats suck now" consequences.

Giving a significant, permanent, irreversible debuff to a character's mechanics based on the responses to a story based interactive cutscene is objectively ♥♥♥♥ game design, and I say this as someone for whom BG3 is possibly the best game that's come out in the last 10 years.

It's not in the bin, I played through the entire game without realizing I had the debuffs until much later and things worked out fine - on tactician.

the worms DID save you. it says so right in the text for the event. NOBODY IS SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE THE ZAITH'ISK. gees. it feels wrong to hear the devs even considered changing the event to having zero repercussions. sad.

Dying would have been preferable to a permanent -2 penalty in three different attributes.

There are several ways to cure death in the game, but no known way to cure these debuffs.

The entire point of spells like Restoration and Heal, is that they're powerful enough to restore permanent ability score damage, and even regenerate crippled or severed body parts. By rights, they should be able to alleviate these drained conditions. Yet they can not, and it's extremely frustrating that Lae'zel heavily pressures you to reach the Zai'thisk, or else she threatens to leave the group.

Someone made a mod for it here I'll quote them from another post

Hi everyone, I have created a mod to fix the issue. You can now use Greater Restoration to cure the debuffs.

As of patch 2 adding more illithid powers and/or using the astral tadpole still does not remove this debuff.

I can confirm this. No change. What a bummer, I was so looking forward to finally using Lae'zel as a Vlaakit Warpriest. The temptation of using mods to correct the issue is huge, but then I wont get my achievements for Dark Urge playthrough...
