How to unlock the Mind Blown achievement in Baldur's Gate 3 - Definitive Guide

You will meet the Emperor while resting in Wyrm’s Lookout on your way to Baldur’s Gate at the end of Act 2. Later, when you enter the Astral Plane, side with the Emperor. When the Emperor offers a new tadpole to help you evolve, agree to it. Later, during a long rest, the Emperor will confide in you about its past. Choose encouraging/positive responses and offer to hold hands.

Once you reach the Lower City, there will be a quest marker on Elfsong Tavern to investigate the basement. Head down there, clearing out the rats and press a button on the back left wall. Then, follow the prompting to go through the large doorway that opens in a cask. Inside you will discover the Emperor’s old hideout. Interact with each of its trinkets. Finally, when you take the next long rest, the Emperor will visit again. If you are encouraging, the Mind Blown achievement will unlock. You can skip the rest of the interaction after it unlocks.

You don't need to take the tadpole. I think as long as you aren't outright confrontational, you'll get the scene where they're shirtless, and then you can romance them.

@Reelbiggerfish it won't have any impact on other romances AFAIK. (Haven't finished the game yet, but that's what I've read elsewhere.) No reaction from my partner after the romance with the emperor.

Does it matter if you are already in the process of romancing someone else at the start of Act 3, can you still get this?

Just got this myself. You can decline the "Astral-Touched Tadpole" and still romance The Emperor

I don’t think I’ve ever regretted an achievement more in my life

The trophy is easy and missable
Once you get to Act 3, after a long rest you will have a scene with the Emperor.
You can hug him in it. Hugs. (does not affect the current romance with another companion)
After this, and several long rests, another scene will appear where he will be naked to the waist (prepared, apparently). There we kiss him on the tentacles, etc. The trophy is yours. I don't recommend watching the cutscene.

Until you examine the emperor's former room in the basement of the Elven Song tavern - he won't come to have sex at night, you can skip at least 10 nights
And he will ask you to look around the room when you arrive at the tavern.

If you go into the second act through the githyanki nursery, then do not try to kill the guardian when Vlakith orders you to do so - this blocks the opportunity to participate in hentai with tentacles.
