I've seen people on reddit and other forums tell people that feeding the Mindflayer at the Nautiloid Crash Site, in the beginning of the game, and battling it will reward more XP. It does not. While it presents interesting cutscenes - it is faster to just attack it to instantly defeat it. You get the same XP - 35 - no matter how you defeat it. This video is to show and prove this.
