but, The artifact belongs to you, so no one can actually take it from you.Even if you try to give it to them. With this in mind, Showing the artifact to the captain is the easiest way to get invited to speak with the Inquisitor.
After seeing it, the captain will unlock the magic barrier in his room and allow you to walk to the back of the creche. Alternatively, you can kill the captain and then destroy the nearby crystal stone. Next to the wall of progress.
When speaking with the Inquisitor you have two options:
- Refuse to produce artifacts: This will make the Githyanki around you hostile. After defeating them, Vlaakith will appear.
- Please hand over the artifact: Vlaakith will then appear immediately, and you will then speak to her directly.
It is better to hand over the artifact at first.This is because it keeps things peaceful and allows you to talk to Vlaakith without Lae'zel immediately getting angry if she's with you. If you opt out, you'll ultimately miss out on additional content.
If Lae'zel is with you, it's important to be careful Lae'zel may turn against you or even try to kill you. Failure to follow the orders of the Inquisitor and Vlaakith.
