Complete Find the Mushroom Picker in baldurs gate 3. Save Baelen Bonecloak from bibberbang mushrooms and find the Noblestalk plant.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the quest by finding Baelen Bonecloak naturally in the Underdark or by speaking to Derryth in the Myconid Colony.
  2. 2
    Locate Baelen in Dread Hollow, northwest of the Underdark map. Be cautious of bibberbang mushrooms; destroy blocking ones with ranged attacks and wait for gas to clear.
  3. 3
    To reach Dread Hollow, head northwest from the Decrepit Village (or use the Underdark - Beach waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination)) and descend via knotted roots into an alcove beneath a large tree.
  4. 4
    Approach the bibberbang patch where Baelen is stuck. He needs his backpack containing a Scroll of Misty Step to escape.
  5. 5
    Warning: Enter Turn-Based mode to prevent your party from following and setting off mushrooms prematurely.
  6. 6
    Use a character with the Misty Step spell or the Amulet of Misty Step (found in True Soul Gut’s bedroom chest if you came via the Defiled Temple) to teleport to the opening left of Baelen and retrieve his backpack.
  7. 7
    Alternatively, use a character with a long dash range or Lae'zel's Githyanki Psionics: !Jump ability to reach the backpack.
  8. 8
    Loot the backpack for two scrolls of Misty Step.
  9. 9
    Open your inventory, select a scroll, and throw it to Baelen.
  10. 10
    While one character is with Baelen, use another to reach the glowing blue Noblestalk plant in the back right of the room. Use Misty Step or Lae'zel's jump ability to get between the mushrooms safely.
  11. 11
    Grab the Noblestalk plant.
  12. 12
    At the end of the turn, Baelen will move to the bridge. Use a second Scroll of Misty Step or your own Misty Step spell to return to safety. If Lae'zel retrieved the plant, she can jump back to safety.
  13. 13
    Once clear of the bibberbang, speak to Baelen. He will thank you and give you a Scroll of Invisibility, directing you to speak with his wife, Derryth.
  14. 14
    Return to the Myconid Colony and speak with Derryth to complete the quest. You will receive the Gloves of Uninhibited Kushigo, which grant an additional 1d4 damage when throwing or using improvised weapons.
  15. 15
    What to do with the Noblestalk?: If you acquired the Noblestalk, speak to Derryth and select the dialogue option “This is dangerous territory. You must be down here for a reason.” Offer her the plant. She will mention her shop, Bonecloak’s, in Baldur’s Gate.
  16. 16
    She cannot offer money for the Noblestalk, but you can intimidate her to receive a wedding ring worth approximately 115 gold, though she will be displeased.
  17. 17
    Give the Noblestalk to Baelen?: Alternatively, you can give the Noblestalk to Baelen, which restores his memories. This reveals he is unkind to his wife, and Derryth will be unhappy.
  18. 18
    Before leaving, check Derryth’s wares in the Myconid Colony for armor, weapons, and potions.
Tips
  • Turn-Based mode is crucial to avoid triggering the bibberbang mushrooms prematurely.
  • The Amulet of Misty Step, if found, can save a spell slot or scroll.
  • Lae'zel's Githyanki Psionics: !Jump is a powerful tool for reaching the backpack and the Noblestalk.
  • Consider the consequences of giving the Noblestalk to Derryth versus Baelen, as it affects their relationship and potential rewards.
  • Gloves of Uninhibited Kushigo (if you return Baelen to Derryth without the Noblestalk).
  • Scroll of Invisibility (from Baelen).
  • Wedding ring (approx. 115 gold, if you intimidate Derryth for the Noblestalk).
  • Potential to visit Bonecloak’s shop in Baldur’s Gate (if you give Derryth the Noblestalk).
