When a creature deals damage to the brain with a type of damage it has resistance to, the brain shoots a bolt of lightning at the creature. The creature must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 7 (2d6) lightning damage. If the brain is destroyed, the steel rod it hung from remains embedded in the ceiling. Tactical Advice Players can earn the following tactical advice about this quest by completing prophecies (see “Epic Events”): Poison. One of the cultists carries a vial of pale tincture poison in a hidden compartment in her boot. Adventurers who’ve received advice from the Oracle of War can splash this poison over the undead brain to slow its regeneration to 5 hit points every round for 1 minute and remove any damage resistances that it currently has. Implant. The Emerald Claw champion has an implant in her skull that allows her to connect to the undead brain. Adventurers who’ve received advice from the Oracle of War can attempt to remove the implant from her corpse without damaging it with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Medicine) check. Doing so prevents the undead brain from gaining any new resistances. If a warforged character plugs the implant into their own head, they can also prevent the undead brain from making lightning attacks. E The characters can climb out the titan’s mouth and rappel down to the ground with a successful DC 12 Strength (Athletics) check.
