The [[Dream Guardian]] will only appear in combat during the final battle [[Confront the Elder Brain#Atop the Netherbrain|Atop the Netherbrain]] if the party chose to side with [[Orpheus]] rather than [[the Emperor]]. At the start of combat, the Emperor will summon four Dream Guardians to fight alongside him. | |||
The Dream Guardians typically spend their turn using {{SAI|Psionic Suggestion}} (a unique spell similar to {{SAI|Command}}) to control the party's actions and {{SAI|Fleeting Dream}} to reposition themselves. | |||
==Tactics== | |||
The Dream Guardians' low number of hit points make them very vulnerable to high damage spells and attacks that can take them out before they begin using {{SAI|Psionic Suggestion}} to interfere with the party. Area of Effect spells and attacks such as {{SAI|Chain Lightning}} or {{SmRarityItem|Arrow of Many Targets}} can kill several of them in a single turn. | |||
Alternatively, the party can use {{SAI|Heroes' Feast}} before ascending the Brain Stem, since its {{Advantage}} on Wisdom saving throws counteracts {{SAI|Psionic Suggestion}}. | |||
On Tactician or Honour mode, the party should be wary of summoning any Humanoid allies via {{SAI|Gather Your Allies (Class Action)}} since the Dream Guardians will often attempt to gain control of them with {{SAI|Mind Flayer Domination}}. | |||
