Last update: 25 July 2023

Us is the first companion you'll have an opportunity of recruiting, which happens soon after starting the prologue of BG3. On this page of our guide, we show where to find the Mind Flayer onboard the Nautiloid, as well as list and explain the prerequisites to recruiting him, and answer the question whether he has any combat capabilities. Moreover, we answer the question whether Us can remain as a companion after advancing to Act 1.

How to unlock the Mind Flayer as a companion?

  1. The opportunity to recruit Us appears during the Prologue. This is the Escape for Nautiloid quest, which involves escaping the titular vessel.
  2. In the initial part of the exploration, you'll encounter Myrmath - a victim of experiments. Interacting with Myrnath will activate a conversation with a talking brain asking to be released.
Do not choose the option to destroy the brain and don't ignore the interaction with Myrnath, as this will make you unable to recruit Us - Baldurs Gate 3: How to recruit Us in BG3? - Party - Baldurs Gate 3 Guide, Walkthrough

Do not choose the option to destroy the brain and don't ignore the interaction with Myrnath, as this will make you unable to recruit Us. Instead, there are some skill checks you can pass:

  1. Investigation check - involves examining the talking brain.
  2. Medicine check - only possible if you've successfully completed Investigation check. It involves the precise extraction of the brain.
  3. Strength check - involves cracking the skull to extract the brain.
  4. Dexterity check - involves delicate removal of the brain from the skull.

The Myrnath puzzle is described in detail on a dedicated page Myrnath and the talking brain - Nautiloid.

  1. After successful retrieving of the brain, agree to recruit the Mind Flayer. Do not choose the option to part ways permanently.
  2. Us is not only a conversationalist - he can take part in combat making your job easier. He has claws that he can use.

Us leaving the party

  1. Us is unfortunately only a temporary companion, and don't expect to keep him after advancing to Act 1 of the campaign.
  2. After finishing the Prologue and causing the Nautiloid to crash, the protagonist will wake up on the beach without the Mind Flayer in the team. The assumption is that he died in the catastrophe.
