'''The Elder Cerebral Fluid''' is the [[Illithanachronounbinder]] [[quest artifact]] in [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], and is the prize for completing the [[Illithanachronounbinder quest]]. Its default [[alignment]] is [[lawful]], and its [[base item]] is a [[dilithium crystal]].

==Generation==
The Elder Cerebral Fluid cannot be [[wish]]ed for, though it can be left behind as part of a [[bones]] level.

For Illithanachronounbinders, The Elder Cerebral Fluid is always generated on the goal level of the Illithanachronounbinder quest, where it is placed on [[Menzoberranzan]]'s square at level creation.

 ==Description==
-While carried, The Elder Cerebral Fluid grants enhanced [[energy regeneration]] and [[half spell damage]]. If used as [[sling]] ammo, it has a +1d10 [[to-hit]] bonus and deals double damage against a non-[[mindless]] target with an extra effect on hit: for the [[hero]], it drains their [[intelligence]], and for non-mindless monsters it has a chance of [[canceling]] them.

 As a [[gem]], The Elder Cerebral Fluid can be used as a [[lightsaber]] "focus" crystal (done by [[loot]]ing the lightsaber while it is on the ground), but it can only be used this way for [[The Illithid Staff]]: doing so enables the ability to [[invoke]] The Illithid Staff's "Elder Memories" power, which is necessary for a full-scoring ascension.
