Lair of the Elder Brain [23x42]
🕑 Added 2019-10-29 00:39:03 +0000 UTCA few days early but Happy Halloween everyone!
This is our long promised Elder Brain boss map for completing a patreon goal. A mysterious and ancient Elder Brain deep in the Underdark, eating minds and plotting destruction from its lair inside a giant hollowed skull.
Variations include several different rituals and sacrifices, a dead Elder Brain, a Neothelid and a corrupted fey Underdark. Most importantly we included an underdark Halloween party.
You'll all be excited to hear that we're working on another big adventure with Griff and the others and next month we'll be making the City Rooftop Chase as it was the winner of our last poll.

I wish that this map was gridless. Any way to make that happen?

I used this map in my monster vs monster battle of Mind Flayers vs Githyanki. Perfect battle map for the event and set the right tone for the action.

I didn't see this comment until now but this edit is very cool!

I just finished the introduction adventure for a new Planescape group, and decided their next stop will be Ilsensine‘s realm. I‘m so using this map there. Can’t wait for it!!

This was such a great map and exactly what I needed! For the campaign I'm running, I had a lone mind flayer who was attempting to resurrect the long dead remains of his kin on his way to becoming a lich. Of course, I also foreshadowed a lot of fault lines and structural instability in the area - so during the big fight, the mind flayer caused a major problem with his mind blast that got progressively worse. So I did several edits to get us there as things degraded, but this is the final version of what was the blood map. My players loved it all so much ^_^ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/734585601654915124/779970339508846602/sultan_4.jpg

This is super cool! And definitely helpful for the Mind Flayer Lair my party is headed toward. I would love to see this fleshed out as an entire Mind Flayer colony, with all the various rooms and passages detailed in Volo's Guide, like a brain library, and a transformation pool. <3

Amazing

What would the greater evil be? That's a cool idea for a plot. Siding with Illithids is a great idea.

:D

Let's just hope the next map is what you need too! :)
Cze and Peku
:D Glad to be of service!

Hope your PCs enjoyed it. I'd really like to do more Illithid maps in future, they're an awesome race.
Cze and Peku
Hope it went well! Did your players enjoy it?

This is literally the exact damned map I needed to get printed off before tomorrow. Thanks Cze and Peku :D
Echoing the sentiments above; this map is perfect. I'm running Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, and one of my PCs is playing as an Illithid who is the latest version of the Adversary. This map will be perfect for their reckoning with the Elder Brain.

I swear you guys are reading my mind. The party in my campaign is getting involved in a big war with mind flayers as one side. These maps are timely to say the least.
It's uncanny how on point you guys are when it comes to bringing out maps right before I need them for my campaign, love this one!

Omg fuck yeah

Ooh, that last one Is absolutely fascinating. I’m tempted to make a mini campaign where you ally with the illithids to defeat a greater evil, but then must return to find out what has happened to them...
