If you sided with Orpheus.
Tentacles are not affected by area attack spells if they are not already visible.
You cannot use spells to reveal the locations of the tentacles.
You’ll notice as you enter this area that there is additionally a timer.
This will be atimer to the emergence of a supporting Nautiloid ship.
Alternatively, you could bypass the top of the brain entirely withArcane GateorDimension Door.
This is highly dangerous, so wewarn extreme caution in your approach.
Although this may seem terrifying at first,there is nothing special about the Emperor’s stats or feats.
If you’re scared of the Emperor, don’t be.
He’snothing you haven’t faced before plus some extra spellssuch as Chain Lightning in higher levels of difficulty.
We recommend targeting the Emperor firstwith your strongest ranged attacks to get him off the field on Turn One.
You don’t want to be mass-stunned for the first half of the fight.
This can be found on thefar right of your hotbar.
Additionally,see to it you aren’t standing on any possible incoming blastsfrom the illithid ship.
Upon such time, the Netherbrain will lose all immunities and begin anew.
On a failed save, creatures are also Mindbroken and suffer from the banes of Slow.
Orb of Negation will highlight a portion of platforms within the Netherbrain’s domain.
Any creatures standing on the platforms when they are destroyed will be automatically killed.
This is a rare bug, and we caught an example of it in the video above.
The higher your difficulty, the more platforms will be selected and the less rounds you will have.
Brainquake Attack
Beyond Orb of Negation, theonly other attack the brain has is Brainquake.
So, you’ll have tobe frugal with your action economyif your characters have suffered a Mindbreak.
It hasno resistances, and it only has immunities in Honour Mode.
Therefore, you should be able to do decent damage quickly.
Eventually, you’ll put the Netherbrain in its place.
But what you do from here will be up to you.
