How to get the Noblestalk Mushroom in Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a bunch of optional content for you to complete, with a lot of it being worthwhile to do so. Some quests can give you new loot, armor, or weapons, and some can even give you some nice character moments that develop them in nice ways. The Find the Mushroom Picker quest is one such quest, which along the way, gives you the opportunity to claim an item you can give to multiple people. Here’s our guide on how to get the Noblestalk and how to use it in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How to get and use the Noblestalk in BG3

The first step to getting the Noblestalk in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to head to the Underdark. You can find the location on the map below. Here, you will find a bunch of mushrooms that spawn Poisonous Clouds when they’re destroyed, and there’s a lit torch nearby meaning they will explode if damaged or if you go too close. Luckily, there’s a person here stuck in the middle of them to explain all this to you.

Where to find Noblestalk in Baldur’s Gate 3

Once you get there and talk to him, if you have a scroll of Misty Step, the quest to free him can end right here for you, as you can simply give him the Misty Step scroll and he will escape. But stopping the mushrooms from exploding by putting out the torch is something we need to do to preserve the Noblestalk that’s in this area.

Having the poisonous clouds explode means the Noblestalk will disappear. So, the first thing you’ll want to do is jump up to the left of the field of mushrooms, like in the image below. Then, either cast Create Water or simply throw a water bottle at the lit torch to put out its flame.

After you’ve extinguished the torch, if you haven’t already saved the man inside the mushroom field, you can now jump down and loot his bag, which contains a scroll of Misty Step. Just toss that to him and he will escape. Upon completing that, you can claim yourself a Noblestalk in Baldur’s Gate 3.

To get the Noblestalk, you’re going to need to destroy all of these mushrooms from range with a bow. After a while the clouds will disappear, and you should find some Noblestalk in the top right of this area.

How to use Noblestalk in BG3

Once you have the Noblestalk, you can do a couple things with it. You’ll want to decide who you should give it to. Depending on who consumes this mushroom, different outcomes will happen.

• Shadowheart: Giving it to Shadowheart helps her unlock a memory for her, as Shar wiped them all away. She’ll start to remember a Tiefling she used to know in the House of Grief in the Lower City, who you can meet in Act 3.
• Derryth: She’ll thank you for your endeavor and tells you where you can find her in Baldur’s Gate.
• Baelen: This unfortunately helps him recover his memories, helping him realize that he was a pretty abusive husband to Derryth. Probably not the best person to give this to.
• Dark Urge: If you’re playing the Dark Urge, try out the Noblestalk yourself. Since you don’t remember anything of your past, you’ll actually recover some of your lost memories.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth giving to Derryth or Baelen. If you’re not the Dark Urge, give it to Shadowheart. But if you are playing a Dark Urge Origin, it’s probably worth taking it yourself.
