This one is a huge spoiler for the endgame so if you don’t want to find out what happens, meet me over at number 3. I will do my best to avoid any big spoilers, though.

At the game's conclusion you’ll come face to face with the High Illithid and you’ll have a pretty huge decision to make regarding your allegiances, but I’m not going to spoil that for you, nor is it what this entry is about. Rather, the tentacle guy hits on you and asks if you’d like to get it on and deepen your relationship.

Not what we were expecting.

Hilariously you have to pass a history check to figure out where its mouth is. If you want to, you can go ahead and get down and dirty with the Mind Flayer and look, what you decide to do in that moment is between you and your god. Or you and your horrified co-op party chat on Discord.
