Plot Impact: Character Death (Surrender to the Mind Flayer)
Map location: crashed shell ship, ruined beach (west of sprawling ruins)
Interact with a dying mind flayer and don't be influenced by the mind flayer's thoughts.
Interacting with a dying Mind Flayer and selecting certain dialogue options may result in the instant death of the protagonist or other teammates. The best way to deal with a dying Mind Flayer is to kill it before interacting with it. If you have already begun to interact with it, avoid options related to intelligence rolls (such as giving in to the emotion, focusing on its thoughts, etc.), do not be affected by its thoughts, and choose options that will kill it immediately.
Kill the mind flayer directly
A dying mind flayer can be killed by any means, simply by using an attack skill on it outside of interaction (a mind flayer can also be killed by using a healing spell or throwing a healing item).
Regarding killing or sympathizing with a dying Mind Flayer, it is possible for the character to die.
Narrator: *Sympathy? *
Dialogue options: [Give in to this emotion] → [[Intelligence] focuses on its thoughts] → [Give in to this feeling——] → [It’s okay, everything will be okay]
Choosing according to the above options will cause the character to die directly and the game will end. If other team members other than the protagonist are allowed to choose according to the above dialogue options, all team members except the character will die and enter a forced battle with the mind flayer.
Please save in time before interacting
