How to Begin the Embrace Your Potential Quest

This quest starts after meeting the dream visitor for the first time or coming across a Mind Slayer Parasite Specimen. The visitor will tell you that you need to become stronger with the powers you get from the Mind Flayer.

Our visitor was a she, so that’s how we refer to them in the guide!
