All Attempts to Remove Parasite Tadpole Baldur's Gate 3

[Music] my my what manner of place is this a patch of ground to call home some rest for the wicked after all what would suit the occasion hmm the words to a lullaby perhaps the mouse smiled rightly it outfoxed the cat then down came the claw and that love was that they do know how to write them in cormier don't they well met i am raphael very much at your service an admirable display of manners but i'm afraid i must decline yes this encampment is decidedly to middle of nowhere for my tastes come there middle of somewhere [Music] the house of hope where the tired come to rest and the famished come to feed lavishly go on partake enjoy your supper after all it might just be your last [Music] call it a ninth sense what's better than a devil you don't know a devil you do am i a friend potentially an adversary conceivably but a savior that's for certain [Music] come now why play hard to get when you're in deep over your tadpoled head one skull two tennants and no solution in sight i could fix it all like that [Music] oh that's disappointing i prefer it when my clients put up a fight only to realize victory was never an option try to cure yourself shop around beg borrow and steal exhaust every possibility until none are left and when hope has been whittled down to the very marrow of despair that's when you'll come knocking on my door hope [Music] [Laughter] such a tease [Music] i'll be around watching you squirm like a tadpole through a nice juicy brain all those pretty little symptoms sundering skin dissolving guts they haven't manifested yet have they one might say you're a paragon of luck i'll be there when it runs out [Music] she's a child a devil child one who tried to steal from us it is a number i see you just give me a moment a moment this medical drinks there it's up to her now life or death now what was it you needed good enough to tell there's nothing obviously wrong with you a bit tired maybe but we're all a bit tired a tadpole a mind flayer that bone i i'll do what i can come follow me i might be able to help we need to be quick this way head on in this one had the same problem as you attacked us in the woods together with some goblins tadpole crawled out of his head soon after [Music] seems so gave master halsen a right start [Music] it's why he joined the adventurers on their expedition to find out what was happening a pity you got me instead of him he spent days studying the droughts tadpole maybe he found an easier way still give me your arm please a cure now your arm please you don't have time for games you don't have to be here for this i'm interested in the procedure actually please go ahead there be careful your legs will probably give out first i'm sorry maybe master halsen could have plucked it from your head but i can't without him here the only treatment for an illiterate tadpole is death you're a risk to the people around you i'm truly truly sorry for what it's worth the poison is painless it'll be like going to sleep please try to relax this doesn't have to be hard i can't rescue turning you'd kill us all i won't i can't i respect coca but she can't order me to put everyone's lives at risk we can look after our own starting with this all right master halsen did say the drows tadpole was dormant maybe yours is too [Music] but first this is a vial of wyvern poison swear to me you'll swallow it if you feel any symptoms [Music] i hope it doesn't come to that but thank you here and here's the antidote do not mix those two up i know you're not changing yet and i've no idea why not but we have to assume it's only a matter of time you must understand you are in grave danger you have to find master halsey he might be your only chance [Music] ask the adventurers that abandoned him they're the only ones who know what really happened out there all i know is they went to the old temple of seluna and he didn't make it back master halsen's a renowned healer he studied the drows tadpole for days and concluded he needed to find the source of the infection to understand its nature we can only hope he succeeded in his mission otherwise that vial is your only option oh no he would have slipped me naval to nape if master halsen hadn't put him down the drow was leading a gang of goblins not a common pairing they attacked us we had to defend ourselves it's only after we saw the tadpole crawling out of his head that master halsen realized how serious things were remember what i said remember your oath take it one step at a time nettie come on why i'm practically an expert they've tentacles you know quite shocking the druid halsen had some kind of mind-flare specimen in a jar in his quarters a replica no doubt but truly fascinating to see up close as a matter of fact i do but why do you [Music] that's quite impossible you'd have undergone ceremonies by now [Music] i can't attest to the specifics but i do know that not long after insertion the host that's you turns into a mind flare as there's not a tentacle on your head i can only assume you haven't been infected if what you say were true you'd be a mind flayer by now you infected by a mine flare ridiculous isn't it perhaps that's for the best i'd be irresponsible not to debunk such a strange clay [Music] if i just peer in your eye i could quickly oh my dear sweet guns i mean yes i suppose i can i'll need to research the particulars however give me a bit of time and i'll have this little issue sorted my friend how do you fare my research turned up a rather brilliant technique that seems quite actionable it's not too deep just behind the orbital socket i could attempt an extraction either needle in my tunic after all i assure you i've dreamt of it a thousand times over you won't find a more learned opinion on this matter i assure you volo carefully holds one of your eyes open and begins to prod uncertainly with the needle don't fidget the needle must slip behind your eye not through it the needle finds the gap between eyeball and socket volo frowns and begins to push pain shoots through your body as the needle snags on your optic nerve i think i have it the needle seesaws back and forth plucking the nerve like a harp string oh bother there's some obstacle in the way i shall need a more robust implement volo carefully withdraws the needle from your eye then reaching into his bag he produces an ice pick volo slowly brings the ice pick closer to your eye now don't move cold metal presses against the skin beneath your brow and then tap tap stab do you feel that huh i think we have the blighter on the run i agree it's a feisty critter just a little further volo tears the pic from your brain with a violent jerk your eye plops down into the mud he pauses looks down at your eye and recoils slightly as it sinks into the mud there appears to be an amount of cosmetic damage please try not to over exert yourself you're in a rather fragile state at present i can't help but feel partly responsible perhaps there is something more i can do take this a far superior relic to that old jelly you were trained to try it on for size and um it was very nice to have met you i'm sure you'll sort out your little brain problem one way or another far away from here if you've hurt tough oh the nights have been restless but you don't look any worse the way holding steady fair anything else on your mind ah that's better well you need a lot of help that regular swimming in your brain juice is a bit of an inconvenience isn't it because you stink and i know the stench of mind flayer anywhere i can tell you're almost done cooking you know you could turn just like that what do you say want me to take care of the little bugger you're a sharp one i am proposing a deal but it's different from your little pact you see i prefer personal things one of your pretty little peepers i pluck it from your head kiss it for luck then back in it goes won't take but a moment that is my price nothing more nothing less [Music] i'm afraid that's my business petal it's nothing nefarious though i promise [Music] a touch but sure you have two eyes in your skull don't you no need to be precious glorious one moment and she needs her real nails for this [Music] [Music] much better that human skin is fierce restrictive close that mouth precious let's just swallow a fly not many get to see a hag in all her glory consider yourself blessed now choose which i will it be right or left on to your knickers this might sting of it so [Music] no that wasn't so bad was it [Music] that color suits you no unless you want tentacles for a tone stay absolutely still i've removed one of these buggers before but it's a touch tricky the parasite squirms at the hag's words pain builds behind your eye you feel the creature rise as it's dragged towards your ear then it bites back burrowing even deeper into your brain god stabbed wretched your little you didn't tell me it was necessary filthy shadow magic means nothing but chains and misery how could i have missed that stink like blood and piss congealing on my tongue someone's tempered with your parasite that's likely why you've not turned yet bless us you're asido as a wet week that thing has been touched by more than mind players you're a dead soul walking i can't help you awesome bowsers i held up my end of the bargain it's not my fault the wriglets tainted by shadow man i want nothing to do with you or that scum in your brain yeah bloody right it wasn't i agreed to remove an illicit spawn nothing is an abomination but let it not be said that antietam doesn't honor her deaths here it's on you to fix yourself now get out come now marina time to go bye bye loveless where is she going i wonder tainted that could explain the unusual course of this infection agreed i see no reason to divert from purification protocol we may not have yet turned but the parasite still inflicts its visions upon [Music] us [Music] [Music] as the pain muddles your thoughts your minds become entangled a familiar sensation she too carries a parasite her faith floods into you a tide of shuddering ecstasy her tadpole nestles within that mania secure hidden i feel you in there digging around works both ways and i saw some weird shadows swimming around in your head just now maybe i can help with that us true souls gotta look out for one another a creature there's definitely something rotten in there let me take a closer look i haven't seen anything like this before let's deal with this in my chapel it's private i'm on this lot interfering with true soul business [Music] oh come here i ain't waiting around ready to clear your head don't wanna cry to gorpas everybody else needs to leave [Music] ready to clear your head smart all you need to do is open yourself to the absolute and i'll do the rest don't want anyone peeping on private matters so there we go secret and safe well sacrament psionic feelers creep across your mind like a pickpocket's fingers seeking floors in fabric sifting deeper she sees the mind flayer holding a wriggling tadpole to your eye and then the vision lurches and you are looking through her eyes as a tadpole squirms into her skull helps we need to fish that thing out before it eats any important parts of your brain don't you worry i've got everything i need to fix you might get a bit messy though it involves you putting your trust in the absolute simple you won't regret this being a true soul you know the absolute don't like to touch nothing unclean so drink this it will purify you sweet dreams i'll see your ugly mug on the other side wakey wakey don't bother struggling you ain't going nowhere the absolute wants to know all about that critter in your head so start talking i know that much i saw the whole horrible story in your memories and i know what happens next your teeth fall out your skin rips off and you turn into one of them stop it why would i wanna do that i'm gonna keep you here so i can see every gory detail and hear every whimper and scream not lightly you're forgetting one thing i've got the absolute to protect me but you you're on your own nothing more than a skin suit for that monster inside you you're gonna be my new pet a ferocious squiddy all for myself you test the weight of the chains looking for weak points open your papers freak it's time you should be spraying tentacles by now but you're still the same kind of ugly you always was disappointed not to have my own squiddy but your giblets will make for a tasty supper sorry i may have left that a little late no lasting damage i hope gorilla heart flame at your service my master has been keeping a close eye on you when you got yourself in this predicament he sent me to help an observer his curious about you and your condition at this point you're more interesting alive than dead so here i am your savior in times of need be a little more careful that skin's valuable and we won't always be watching so the grove stands nature prevails i owe you my thanks and an introduction i am halsen first druid of the emerald grove and i sense you have a problem you seek my help with [Music] yes i can sense it inside you the imbalance these beasts create you have time yet however ceramorphosis is not running its normal course i will do what i can to help you let us speak tomorrow you and i both have matters to see to first as for what you've done for the grove speak to wrath he will see to your reward then go forth there are no easy paths to what you seek if you seek my aid you must show patience rest heal celebrate if you wish mourn if you must come morning we shall discuss delivering you from your parasite [Music] i trust you celebrated most heartily curious i wonder if the tadpole shares in your suffering the morning after i'm glad to hear it you'll need fortitude for what's to come i promise to help you with your infection there's cause for hope but it's complicated some form of magic is arresting the ceremonies process while still granting you certain benefits your ability to read each other's thoughts for instance magic such as this doesn't arise naturally someone is pulling the strings someone of great power if you wish to cure your infection you must find them these absolute wretches are rallied at moonrise towers farther along the tiantha whoever is behind this magic must be there you must go there the journey will be perilous but it seems you're well accustomed to navigating danger [Music] to get to the towers you'll need to pass through a terrible place a cursed place this curse shrouds everything in shadow you will not find life lights or anything natural there any who linger are twisted by the curse they become shadow beings tormented dangerous souls you're half right you have to get to moonrise but you still have a choice of how to get there you could go overland along the risen road or cutting through the mountains easier at first but you'll run into the shadow curse eventually you could also go under there is a tunnel leading from the temple of seluna right down into the underdark and beyond the entrance is hidden somewhere in the temple ruins arodin and his lord thought they'd find fortune down there they were promised riches if they retrieved a relic called the night song but i think there's more long ago a man called ketheric thorne managed to rally a whole army of dark justices in a secret stronghold deep in the underdark doc justicious i must see for myself from there his forces could access both the temple of seluna and moonrise towers in secret but cathoric was defeated before he could launch an attack from the underdark cathode took his secrets with him to the grave you'd need a veritable underground city to conceal the force he mustered yet none has ever been found if you find it i'll wager it'll reveal the route all the way to moonrise towers bypassing the worst of the shadow curse you'll need to pick it up where are din left off find the hidden entrance it's somewhere in the temple of seluna one of the adventurers had a clue to help find it a dwarf called brian it might still be found on his corpse wherever the goblins left [Music] anything is preferable to risking the shadow curse i would like to join your camp if you'll allow me i can offer my skills my council i've long sought to return to moonrise towers unfinished business it seems our fates have aligned may sylvanas guide us [Music] truly remarkable but why come to the underdark where they hold so much power you were infected by an elephant tadpole it's a miracle you're still intact you must be worried sick but have no fear i have a friend who may be able to assist oh man it is this adventurer has an illiterate tadpole inside his head but he hasn't turned your head will make a fine trophy for my queen i understand your rage against my kin one of my brethren forced a tadpole into your eye as i assure you i stand with the society of brilliance not the colonies of my people they infest your head and invade your dreams and still you would parley i ask only that you refrain from violence i respect that your opinion of my kind may be charged if that settles matters and you like the diagnosis open your mind to me let us see what works mind pierces yours the tadpole pulses with power it feels ten times its size alive awake almost smug this is most unusual the incubation period should be complete as should your transformation but the lava is infused with strange magic it appears to be in some form of stasis you know it appears to be shielded from physical and magical influence [Music] [Music] it is not ideal the process would surely kill you fascinating i have never set foot on one answer they were our warships during the greatest the entire years plane from their decks the design was lost when the gith rebelled and ended [Music] perhaps i should start taking notes there may be a way to bypass that stasis there are many alchemical substances that can influence the mind a tincture distilled from a collection of rare mushrooms they have subtle psionic influence i would require a fresh tongue of madness and to ask spores but be warned in their natural state both of these mushrooms can be quite dangerous tim asks cause confusion in those that approach them the tongue is self-explanatory the underdark of course although they are quite rare and their discovery perilous i imagine lenore would have them in her possession she served mr as a cleric the south west when i last saw her although her tower does have a tendency to move she is quite fond of her garden lenore has always been a lonely sort nature was her only companion i offered her the chance to join the society but she refused her experiments on susa bark took priority my formula will hamper the more harmful effects once the mushrooms are brewed into a potion your sanity however much you possess should remain intact may your travels be safe and swift i greet you chimed of the sun how has your search for the mushrooms [Music] lost in its own musings you must drink the entire draft i can make no promises as to its taste the acidic liquid tightens your throat burning on the way down it's a bolt of agony straight to your stomach not a drop left very good as the potion influences your mind you may find yourself acting irrationally try and stay focused the world loses its edges its finer boundaries you are fluid but trapped like a creature suspended in amber you're sinking sinking into a starless void that has no end the connection between mind and body draws thin and tight the tadpole spasms seizes it's fighting the potion even harder than you are fear pierces your mind like knives of ice the parasite digs deeper as if it means to hollow out your skull the cold blades lose their edge you are stalwart turning that tide of fear against itself the parasite swells with power more power than you have ever felt before it surges and twists lashing out against that which would dare to intrude the parasite in your mind quiets pleased with itself are you well that lava is like nothing i have ever observed before its power is unsettling such an outcome was not in my calculations there is indeed although i may have another solution albeit a temporary one i possess a ring of mind-shielding it prevents elder brains from noticing my presence it will not remove the lava but it will limit its influence both positive and negative i would offer it as a gift but in truth the ring is priceless is there anything you could offer me in turn [Music] because removal seemed preferable to negation and i must admit i was curious to study the deadpool myself my research is in perpetual need of funding yes i am willing to accept your coin [Music] [Music] to trade with this abomination unthinkable yet even vlacketh herself could not deny the ring's merit of course the lava remains the ever vigilant of its growth [Music]
