The Dying Mind Flayer is found on the Ravaged Beach. Before interacting with this poor creature, you will have to talk to the Stranded Fishers nearby. As they are being mind-controlled, you first need to rescue them. With that out of the way, here’s the Dying Mind Flayer Choices Guide.
Should you Save or Kill the Dying Mind Flayer in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Here are the consequences after Killing or Saving the Injured Mind Flayer in BG3:
- Kill Mind Flayer
- Selecting the dialogue, “Resist the intrusion with everything you have” will kill that Dying Mind Flayer. But first, you will have to do a Wisdom check to break free of his control. Once done, you can either decide to kill him directly or let him die from suffering.

According to me, you should kill the Dying Mind Flayer in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3). He is a part of all the chaos happening around the world. Remember all those who were found dead on the Nautiloid Ship? He is the reason why they were all sacrificed. Moreover, he won’t be showing any gratefulness for saving him. He considers all other races inferior and wants them to obey his commands. So by no means, you are supposed to show him any mercy.
