How to fight Elder Brain (Solved)

[Ki11s0n3]

It just keeps sending enemies at me. I killed the dragon and all the other enemies and now it just sends either a Mindflayer or 3 of the brain enemies each turn.

Edit: I figured it out. The game wanted me to use the Parasite in my Inventory in order to get the spell. That's how you trigger the spell on your characters.

Afaik that's impossible, the game will force you into either handing the stones to the Emperor, turning yourself/party member into a mindflayer or Orpheus will turn himself. I'm not sure if there's a dialogue path during that whole sequence that can lead to a "game over" but in a couple paths I tried where I refused to give the stones to the Emperor then Raphael appears and forces you to make a deal with him to free Orpheus with no option to refuse. (obvs the previous choices I'd made were keep the Emperor around and not infiltrate the House of Hope)

Ok it was a question i'm not there yet..

Ok so I'm home and playing and the ability is not there on any of my character. So I have no idea how to beat the Elder Brain now.

Why not just summon your allies to fight their reinforcements? That's what I did. The last battle was easy with so many allies fighting

I'm at the last battle on the brain. I killed everything and the battle just won't end like I said. When I end the rounds it send either one Mindflayer or 3 of the brain things. This morning I spent an hour just going through a ton of rounds and I have no idea how to finish the fight to beat the game.

Just use Gale, teleport up top near the crown of karsus, summon invuln orb spell. Then teleport up there inside invuln orb with Orpheus and use the ability. The mobs will try and attack you but they won't be able to hit you. The invulv orb lasts 3 rounds, so it will last plenty of time to get you inside. Only need to channel it for one round. Won't have to kill anyone.

You are not suppose to murder all the enemies, just get into the portal and kill the Elder brain and it's a win. The allies you get during Act 3 can be used as a distraction for the enemies while you get to the portal at the top of the platform.

Fly past. Go in portal. Kill it in a single turn.

You guys completely ignored what my issue was. I did not know you had to use the tadpole to get the power. Me killing everything was a result of me trying to figure out what to do.

You don't even need to fight a single enemy.

Just get your ilithid character (be it yourself, karlach, the emperor, orpheus or whatever) to the crown of karsus and activate the netherstones while you buff the ♥♥♥♥ out of your ilithid char so he at least survives until the netherstones activate (should be one or 2 turns).

Stuff like sanctuary spell, shield spells, invisibility etc. work great

Is there no way to win without using the tadpole? Because I do NOT want to turn one of my characters into a mind flayer.
