♥♥♥♥ 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...

On top of Glut or Mage Hand, any familiar you summon that can move objects will also work.
I think almost anything you can summon will not trigger the bibberbangs.

Is the noblestalk in the cave where you rescue the trapped dwarf husband? That'll be why I never found it, as soon as I rescued the husband I detonated the cave as I enjoy explosions, it must have destroyed the noblestalk.

Yeah. If you come down the vine and are facing the dwarf the noblestalk is at like 2:00 from him against the back edge of the cavern. I didn't even know it was real until my third playthough, I kept blowing everything up after I got his bag so I could get the Lolth candles.

Always make multiple saves, it takes literally a few seconds, ffs. Who in their right mind has ONE save in a game where you can solve problems in different ways, where you can also absolutely fail too? Welp, some people learn their lesson (hopefully) the hard way. 😉

You get the quest in the myconid colony. Exactly where glut is. You can't go there from the colony without talking to him.

Just wanted to come back to say thank you. Your method did work.

I'd like to add that I am a ranger beastmaster with a longbow. I summoned raven and they were able to drag the pack to him.

The fact that the mushroom is so easily lost is a prime example of bad quest design.

[Moonbane]

Nope, forces you to pay attention and not blow up the bibberbangs. You get warned about it. But its a sidequest, not a main quest, of course its not important if you fail it.

No it isn't, for one the quest has branching outcomes.

For example if you don't save the dwarf but save the noblestalk the quest accounts for that and it affects outcome.

If you save the dwarf but not the noblestalk it accounts for that and it affects outcomes.

If you save neither the game accounts for that and it's arguably the worst outcome.

If you save both and give the noble stalk to the dwarf you find out just what kind of man he was and that affects the outcome.

And if you save both and choose to let her have the noblestalk that affects the outcome.

So if you really want to save the noblestalk, a good way to do it is use mage hand, it's like the only thing in the entire game mage hand is actually useful for. Otherwise you just have to be careful and observant and maybe quicksave before the attempt.

But remember even if the spores go off you still have time before they reach the fire, it's the fire that destroys the noblestalk not the spores. Keep a finger on the pause button to give yourself time to think and react if that happens.

[Moonbane]

You dont even need mage hand. As already said, Sovereign Glut wants to join you in the Myconid Colony, and he does not trigger the bibberbangs. You can have him safely punt the dwarf's pack to him, then punting out the noblestalk to the party.

In my game they're still in the shop, despite her saying they got tossed out, I can still vendor with her.

If you give her the noblestalk, the shop is a lot wealthier and she has more to buy and sell.

Getting the noblestalk is super simple in turn-based mode. Just run there and grab it and run back. The mushrooms won't get you. No need for spells or potions or platforming or sending in Glut.

However, using that noblestalk for yourself is your one chance to get a memory back from Shadowheart, and the recovered memory explains something that you discover in the House of Grief. Worth doing once.

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.

Are you really banned or is this a tag?

[Nevron]

Fire is your friend here. One fire bolt blast. Took care of the mushrooms, the noble stalk and Baelen. Then you can just walk up to the backpack and take the contents for yourself. Quest? What quest? You're welcome.

Virgin "saving is cheating" d&d player:
"Wtf! I just spent 4 hours fumbling around and then lost all of that progress because i didn't save and something bad happened due to sheer bad luck or the unpredictability of the plot!
I hate this game forever now!"

Chad savescum d&d player:
"Lemme just make a save before combat, in middle of combat, after combat, before every quest and afterwards too, and neatly organize them. This way i can spend more time actually enjoying myself and less re-doing everything when something goes wrong."

[Börk]

Just.. jump on the left hand side as your enter the area with the bibberbangs all around to the stalk.
