Recruiting Shadowheart

Shadowheart is first encountered on the Nautiloid in the Prologue, where she can be seen banging on her Mind Flayer Pod. She begs to be released, although Lae'zel thinks they are wasting time. The party can either abandon Shadowheart to her fate, or aid her as part of Rescue the Illithid's Captive. If Shadowheart is rescued, she joins the party in moving to the helm. Once the Nautiloid arrives in the Material Plane and crashes on the Sword Coast, Shadowheart can be found unconscious on the Ravaged Beach if she was rescued or banging on the door to the Dank Crypt. If the party either ignores her or refuses to let her join, she appears yet again in the Druid Grove. Lastly, if she has still not been recruited, she'll appear in either the Goblin Camp or the Mountain Pass with the strange artefact as the party is being overwhelmed by the voice of The Absolute.

At the very last chance of recruitment, Shadowheart says that the party needs the Astral Prism, and she needs them to avoid being hunted down for it. If the party still refuses to recruit her, she says she'll remain in the same place until they change their mind on recruiting her, although moving on to the Mountain Pass does cause her artefact to transfer to the player character in a Long Rest scene at camp.
