Found! Exploit in Underdark - Glut's Haste Spores

[Sherayith]

So I was playing through the Underdark section, and discovered a game-breaking exploit. If you have Glut the Myconid in your party, and have him cast his white spore cloud on your party members, you suddenly have an AOE that gives Haste to anyone standing in it, gaining an extra action point and greater movement speed. Plus, there is no Exhaustion effect after the spores disappear, unlike you would with a Haste potion or a casting of Haste.

This is the exploit: Use both your actions inside the haste cloud. Step out of it's area of effect, then back in. Suddenly, you've got another action, plus a portion of your movement back that you used to leave the AOE. So, simply by walking in and out of the spore cloud repeatedly, you can potentially have infinite actions on one turn.

Did anybody else find this exploit already?

I had used the haste spores, I think how they were intended, so I didn't find it. I'll have to try walking out and into them with a ranger or something to see if I get infinite shots lol. I wasn't even thinking about the fact that you normally get exhausted after. Doesn't that haste from the cloud only last for one turn which is a bit different than the potions lasting multiple turns? Could be a reason for not being exhausted. But still hats off to you for finding that!

isnt he only tagging along for one easy fight? I forget if he leaves or not after?

That's not an exploit, it's part of the fight. After all if you follow his plan you have to battle an army of mycons.

He's tagging along to build an army he intends to take over the myconid circle with via resurrection spores.

If you go murder hobo on the Shroom people a lot of them have this. And will use it against you.

Glut is an exploit machine.

Not only can he raise you a zombie army better than any of your party members, apparently now this.

Create toon --> Solo to Underdark --> Get Glut to join you --> Wreck Act 1.
Oh wait, I already do that without Glut and with just a solo lonewolf toon.......my bad.

Glut is an exploit period lol.

You can revive everything with him too you know? I killed the Matriarch Spider and shove her body in the hole along her spider friends and revived them down there along a spectator, 2 minotaurs and a bulette...

:P

I posted something similar in the bugs section.
His haste spores are pretty broken.
In fact, pretty much everything about him screams broken lmao.

he was broken As hell when i first used him as companion a day after launch.. Sent in some screenshots, Made him animate like 50 dead people... who followed me around.. and somehow after I left underdark and stuff.. one of the choppybird horror things was a permanent pet on my hunter Ranger...(overworld and underdark)

That is both a weird and awesome bug at the same time.

Can you leave the underdark with your new friends ?
