You will need to share that, after confronting the Elder Brain and failing to dominate it, you plan to release Orpheus from his prison with your Baldur’s Gate 3 group. Unfortunately, the Emperor will not agree with this decision and decides to join the Elder Brain, believing this to be the only way to survive with the choices you’ve made.
After the Emperor teleports away, you can grab the Orphic Hammer you acquired from the House of Hope and use it to smash the crystals inside Orpheus’ prison. Although the Githyanki Prince will not be thankful for releasing him, he will be willing to work with you and your Baldur’s Gate 3 group to help fight against the Elder Brain. Unfortunately, the next decision he has to share with you is that your character, himself, or Karlach must become Illithid to use the Netherstones and stop the Elder Brain.
