♥♥♥♥ the noblestalk...

[Nohiro]

I'm not gonna restart a 40 hours save just for this piece of ♥♥♥♥ fungus... It's either on purpose cause of a sadistic ♥♥♥♥ at Larian or bad design in some way. Could have AT LEAST put an other one somewhere in that stupid cave...

I did not even find the old lady in the city. Just move on.

Just don’t bother with it. I never gave it to her. Just a minor quest anyway.

I got the mushroom and then fed it to Shadowheart to reclaim some of her memories. Had a character just jump along the platforms lining the cave and which lead to the shroom, and then misty stepped back out once I got it.

I hate it so much when they do that.

Why? There is another elixir merchant in rivington.

Put the torch out on the ground near the bag using water (or pick it up) and the explosions don't happen. Thereby no "bye bye" noblestalk.

Then you can simply run over to it after helping the Dwarf out and pick it up regardless of poison damage. Poison resistance potion makes you take no damage, even on Tactician.

Not poor design. Just poor choices made by the player.

Misty step is mvp in here.

Karlach in turn based mode got it easy peasy for me.

the real question is what are the rewards in act 3 depending on who you give it to
i guess one of this days i'll have to give it to husband and see if he leads to something good... probably not

Grab Glut in the Myconid colony. Have him deliver the backpack to the Baelen, than have Glut grab the noble stalk.
Myconids don't trigger the mushrooms.
If you give noble stalk to Baelen, he will start beating his wife again. Rather convince shart to eat it or eat it yourself on durge.

Use your brain more, cry less.

EDIT: It takes ~54 hours to finish the whole game including 99% of all side quests. And you spent 40 hours in Act 1 on a single save?

Using Glut like that is clever.

Just jump close to it then put on Turn Based Mode (hourglass lower right corner.) Now you can dash up to it, pick it up and jump away, all before the place detonates.

It took me a few minutes but using Lazael it's not hard to find the spot right near the noblestalk where it's safe to land and dash from (it's close to where you dig up the cache). Laz can jump forever and a day, so she's the obvious choice to jump from the mushrooms above or the void nearby.

i saved that tard dwarf, then killed both him and wife after some robbery
btw, who is the old lady in the city?

[Margenat]

I used mage hand and the fcking shroom dissapeared into oblivion. So yeah.
