True Soul Gut Dialogue Options

When first approached True Soul Gut notices you have something special about you and demands to mark your flesh with the sign of The Absolute. Your interactions here could update the journals for Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help. This could also update Find a Cure.

• She asks to brand you, by doing so, you will bear the mark of the Absolute, and among other things, can trigger some Equipment that otherwise wouldn't trigger their special abilities like: Absolute's Warboard or Gloves of Power. Shadowheart will disapprove if you get the brand. You can decide to receive help from her, this leads her to ask the character that is talking to her to go alone to her chapel.
• After following True Soul Gut to her chapel, she tells you if you are ready. She gives you a potion that, if you don't pass the check, will knock you out after drinking it. After that, your character awakes chained and threatened by True Soul Gut. (Note that the potion will only work with a character who is not immune to poison and does not have sleep resistance. This could result in combat)
• If you manage to pass the checks while chained, you can free yourself, reunite with your team and engage True Soul Gut. If you fail, don't worry, an assassin named Korrilla, will save you by killing the goblin priestess. 
• If you repell her probing, she will not be able to help you further and the quest will be completed. 

True Soul Fut Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help All Journal Outcomes:

• We were drugged and imprisoned by Priestess Gut. She hopes that we'll turn into mind flayers so she can study us. We need to get out of here - now.
• Priestess Gut might have been able to help us, but being a goblin proved to be fatal for her. We'll need to find another way to remove the parasite.
• We've been marked as enemies of the Absolute - there's no way Priestess Gut will help us now.
• We repelled Priestess Gut's mental probe. Not capable of understanding what ailed us, she told us she couldn't help.
• We left the area without seeing if the goblin priestess could heal us.

Dialogue Options:

After she asks to mark you, you have the following dialogue options:

1. Why should I let you brand me?
2. I assume that this mark has a purpose
3. I'm not letting you burn me for life on a whim.
4. I'm here to spill your guts across the floor. 

If you ask why, she says that with the mark, no one will mess with you. She will then begin to probe before another set of options appear:

1. Push deeper into her mind.
2. Sever the connection. 

Choose to probe deeper and she will be aware. 

1. Do you think you can fix whatever causing those shadows?
2. There's a creature inside my head, can you help with that?
3. Any help would be appreciated. I need a healer. 
4. Can we talk privately? This is a sensitive matter. 
5. Leave.

After this interaction, you can talk to her again to have her 'clear you head.' She will ask if you are ready.

1. Yes. I'm ready.
2. What exactly are you going to do?
3. Change of plan. I'm going to kill you.
4. Leave.

If you tell her you're ready, Astarion will disapprove. He will continue to disapprove as you continue. You will then need to either seal your mind or allow her to rummage through your memories. Your third option is to attack. The quest will conclude after your interaction.
