Omeluum is an NPC in Baldur's Gate 3. Omeluum can be found in the Myconid Colony, in the Underdark. There is a massive amount of NPCs in Baldur's Gate 3, and their ideals, needs and way of living are strictly related to the actions they perform during the course of the game.

      Clerics get an additional saving throw option when the first one has been passed after drinking the potion.
      It grants you advantage for being a Cleric and praying to your deity to support you, making the DC15 a literal cakewalk

        Githyanki and Duergar get the option to guilt Omeluum into giving them the Ring at the end of it all. Bard's get a persuasion check prior to the "I'll tell you about the Nautlioid..." response which is tantamount to the same as succeeding in those checks - Whether giving him exact details, telling a story, or just retelling the events from the initial Bard check all result in Omeluum being "Happy" to give you the ring. Omeluum may be a bro, but the reality is, he still sucks brains for petty reasons - even if the Emperor is kind of a bag, he still went after criminals. (Proven or not.) -- Honestly, I like Omeluum, and I would have loved even a mini scene where the two interact. Taking the ring from Omeluum has NO impact in Act 3 after you gather all the stones and the BBEG is free. Omeluum is still chillin' inside the Lodge as if nothin' is wrong - despite being "susceptible" to control without the ring. Giving either Egg; Owlbear or Gith to the Lodge, whether in Act 3 or 1.5(Mountain Pass) always results in the death of the entirety of the Lodge.

          Does anyone know if Omeluum is still around if you give the githyanki egg to lady Esther in act 1? In act 3, I found the society butchered by the grown gith boy but didn’t see the bodies of Omeluum and his goblin buddy. I hope they survived.

            Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but as a Dark Urge there is also more dialogue:

            That doesn't sound ideal.
            Don't waste my time. Say what you mean.
            "My Mind is all addled, can you tell why?"

            Leading to another option
            "Oh Gods, what do you mean?"
            "Damn it all, why can't I remember?"
            "I assumed as much..."

              Duergar get the option to guilt trip them by mentioning that mindflayers enslaved their race. Pretty cruel thing to say given they are pretty much the only good person out of all of em and it'd be unfair to press them out of anyone for this, but if the roll succeeds you recieve the ring and they actually make a pretty good point as to why it should be this way.

                If your character is a bard there is another dialogue option BARD PERFORMANCE- if you play for him the song makes him happy and he gives you the ring, no intimidation needed ;)

                  As I stated elsewhere this "guide" is pointless and I'm not sure it's even possible to get another outcome than the one at the end, and that INCLUDES Shadowheart approval (which is from GETTING the ring, not PICKING A DIALOGUE OPTION.)

                  It just irks me that this is one of extremely few "guides" at this point in time and when at first someone bothers to make one it's obvious they didn't do ANYTHING to check what actually does what or even if it's needed. So "thanks" but no thanks and sorry

                    As a bard, I had an additional option for the last Ring of Shielding dialogue: [Bard][Performance] Perform the tale of your adventures so far: 'The Ballad of Brains, Brine Pools and Balderdash.'

                        If you do enough burst damage and/or the psionic reaction to spellcasting then yo ucan kill him in the myconid colony before he teleports away. He drops an Uncommon staff and 2 Very Rare elixers of psychic resistance. I already did his quest for the ring so idk if he drops it.

                          omeluum can also be found in act 3 at the under water prison. He is strapped to a chair... currently unsure whether or not he can be saved.

                            Same happened to me that if i picked them up before i meet the questgiver it wouldnt work
                            The only way this quest works is if you first talk to Omeluum and then pick them up, else he will be stuck asking if you have got them or not

                              I found the mushrooms he wants before I got the quest from him and turned them into their potion ingredients with the extract all button because I wasn’t aware that these are quest relevant items, now I can’t complete the quest anymore. This has to be a bug.
