Ok so I went to the Gith creche. God I hate these fash aliens. All of them suck except for one dude who found a book about some nerd called Orpheus.
I drew a moustache on the painting of Vlaakith haha get drawed on nerd.
Anyway, I found the Gith doctor and the tadpole removal machine but before I progress I have a few questions.
-
Is there a way to get Lae’zel to turn against the Githyanki fash ways? Or at least against Vlaakith? If so, how? Should I just kill Lae’zel or is there a way to unfash her?
-
Should I let the doctor use the Gith tadpole remover? If so, on who? The player character or Lae’zel?
-
Can I just kill this whole creche instead?
Update: a giant eagle with a Scottish accent just called me gross 😡
I haven’t played the game, but did you fuck the octopus guy yet?
No but now that I know you can fuck a mind flayer I hope it’s as funny as it sounds
now that I know you can fuck a mind flayer
I thought the entire point of that game is you travel around the world trying to fuck random monsters?
Monster Hunter except it’s Monster Fucker
- yes
- yes; laezel will want to use it first but it is possible to convince her to let you use it first instead
- yes

the tadpole remover can give a permanent buff if you pass its checks and temporary debuff if you fail them
If you get the chance to talk to the Githyanki goddess directly do try to seriously piss her off at least once. (make sure you back up your save before hand for no particular reason) aside from a funny achievement, this particular form of divine retribution will immediately give you (the player not your poor characters lmao) a vital insight into the revolutionary potential of the Githyanki as a whole if you are aware of high level dnd and the true power of the gods of the setting. (Kinda like gale with his ridiculous for a level one backstory lmao)
(Kinda like gale with his ridiculous for a level one backstory lmao)
It’s implied that the tadpoles reverted them to level one and before infection they were all more powerful
Im aware I was just poking fun at gale’s absurd fall from grace. You’ll understand once you get to know him alot better.
slight spoiler
Im just saying If I rolled a character that high level nothing gale has going wrong for him would be enough to be to able keep my character down like that without just flat out dm railroading. Im not even saying those aren’t good excuses too but even then thats pushing it lmao.
Should also clarifiy, Im not intentionally drawing any conclusions about Vlaakith and Gale Im just pointing out that if you have some of the knowledge of the setting he claims to have doing the above will give you some interesting insights into Vlaakith.
I gotcha 👍
- Yes, and it is even possible to
spoiler
convince her to lead a revolution against the Gith, its fucking awesome, especially if you romance her.
- Yeah, let my girl Lae,zel use it, don’t be a jerk
- Yes, but I don’t think my wife Bae’zel would like that very much
- Yes
- Ask yourself: does it sound like a good idea? If no, does it sound like it could be funny?
- Yes
spoilers about the deworming machine
I made Lae’zel get in the machine and then proceeded to fail like five saving throws in a row, and all of them were like “oh shit this time it’s really dangerous for real don’t fail this”, it was pretty funny.
spoilers about the big fight
I was told to go talk to the leader in the room with like 20 frogmen, which seemed like a bad idea so I just looted the place and walked away, all the Orpheus stuff still turned out fine later.
Lae’zel redemption arc starts after the creche. If you agree to
spoiler
enter the astral prism either after or before fighting the inquisitor
Lae’zel will try to cope with what happens for a while, but you’ll get a camp event soon where she starts changing her mind.
You don’t need to do the zaith’isk, but imo it’s nice to get the story context of what it actually does. If you do, you need to roll a few saving throws and if you fail there’s some extremely bad permanent debuffs which can only be cured by eating a space gummy, so if you’re absolutely avoiding using those you might want to steer away. If you succeed all of them you get a significant buff to your illithid powers, if that’s something that matters to you. If you let Lae’zel do it instead, it’s much harder to avoid getting the penalties.
If you decide to fight the creche, please save the egg and take care of it
I will protect egg
Spoilered responses
spoiler
- If you go through the creche then they will eventually turn against her
- If you let Lae’Zel use it you gain rapport with her but using the machine subjects the user to three potential permanent debuffs which are cured by chowing down on a tadpole
- The answer to “can I just kill X” in Baldur’s Gate 3 is always yes 100% of the time
1: Yes. That arc starts in the creche with learning about Orpheus and “meeting” vlaakkth. From then on have her with you whenever you talk to githyanki, and encourage her to follow Orpheus. She gradually realizes the society is fucked.
spoiler
By the end she’s openly a revolutionary
2: Laezel doesn’t care about the negative effects, it will cripple a caster.
3: Get the egg and “talk” to vlaakith first.
spoiler
Don’t know about the hatchery because I wasn’t about to go to a nursery and start blasting, but as far as I’m aware you can kill everyone before talking to Vlaakith’s hologram without offending Laezel.

::: Yes, pull on the Orpheus thread and you might get a chance to unfash Lae’zel. Killing her is a total waste of one of the best fighters in the game imo, but you do you. :::
-
::: Do it yourself. :::
-
:::You can, but make sure you get all the info about Orpheus that you can before you do. It sounds like you might have it already, if you talked to the one young Githyanki, though. :::
edit: I tried putting spoiler tags on this but idk if it worked.
