Sleyers and Flayers (possible spoiler)

Hi!

I have managed to wander into the Mind Flayer dungeon (from the Underdark). I have
been pretty much through the whole thing, with just the final "brain room" to complete.

As far as I can tell, the only way I can actually get the door open is to "do the change" and become the slayer...

For role-playing reasons, I had been planning to deny my inner self and never do the
transformation. Now I am wondering if my plan is possible. Can I get out of here without
transforming? Or complete the rest of the game without transforming?

If there is a way to go without transforming (or a way to complete the game, for that
matter) please don't tell me hom to do it - just let me know if it is possible or now so I know if I should keep trying.....

Thanks!!!!

the mind flayer that show up in order to open the first door respawns every time so, still got one of those devices...he can open that door.

Drakron is right, you need one of the collar-thingies.

Are you really a prof or are you yanking our collective chains?

I didn't use the Slayer in the game, maybe coz I never realized that I had this ability -_-

In my game, no Mind Flayer ever respawned. I searched the dungeons about half an hour, before checking the journal which said, that only a being with a powerful mind or godlike strength could open the door.

Now I knew WHAT to do, but since there were no Illithids left, I had to reload, cause I also didn't want to turn into the slayer.

An invisible char can easily sneak past the guarding Illithids and get the collars.

There should be a guy re-spawning in the room where u find the liquid that u use to free the slaves. Theleports there after you sleep.

That's right, I did not rest in the Illithid dungeon (but then, why the hack should I have when my party was full rested?!)

Indeed, I really am a prof....Psychology at Illinois Wesleyan. Actually, there was some traffic here a few weeks ago which suggested that quite a few players are professors.

Now, I just need to learn to spell "slay" and I might actually be taken seriously...
