-After the first imp fight on the nautiloid, the player character will enter a room containing some unconscious cultists and a large panel. Further back in the room is a mind flayer pod, where Shadowheart is trapped and thudding against the glass.
+After the first imp fight on the Nautiloid, the player character will enter a room with two unconscious victims of the Mind Flayers, a [[Sacrificed Cultist (High Elf)|High Elf]] and [[Sacrificed Cultist (Human)|Human]]. Towards the north-east side of the room, Shadowheart is trapped in a Mind Flayer pod.
-If speaking to Shadowheart, she will suggest trying the panel next to the pod to try and open it. Interacting with it will reveal that it has an empty socket.
-The required rune is the next room to the east. At the far end of the room is a raised platform with a dead thrall, who can be looted to find an [[Eldritch Rune]]. Returning to the pods panel with this rune, it can be inserted and used to control the pod and free Shadowheart.
+If speaking to Shadowheart, she suggests to try opening the pod by using a nearby panel. [[Warlock|Warlocks]], [[Wizard|Wizards]], and [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]] can free her by passing an [[Arcana]] Check on the panel. [[Barbarian|Barbarians]] can free her through passing a [[Strength]] Check. Otherwise, interacting with the console will reveal that it has an empty socket.
-A [[Barbarian]] character can pass a [[Strength]] check which will open the pod. [[Warlock]], [[Wizard]] or [[Sorcerer]] characters can pass an [[Arcana]] check to open the pod.
+To open the pod, the party must obtain an {{SmRarityItem|Eldritch Rune}} from a corpse in the far east room at {{coords|62|-355}}. After opening the pod, the party can recruit Shadowheart or ignore her.
-After freeing Shadowheart, she can be temporarily recruited while on the nautiloid, or otherwise ignored or parted with.
+If the player character fails the {{Ability Check|Wisdom|2}} to open the pod using the Eldritch Rune, it is possible try again with Lae'zel. If both characters fail the Check, Shadowheart remains trapped in the pod but can be found after the Prologue in [[Act 1]].
