Noblestalk choices

[River Victor]

I'm not planning to romance Shadowheart. I'm going for the bear at the moment, but I'm wondering if I should keep the Noblestalk or give it to Derryth. I know it will save her shop, so she becomes useful later, but I don't know how good that option is gameplay wise, as I don't know exactly what she sells. Is it more beneficial to keep the Noblestalk? I haven't cut off the possibility at the dialogue at the moment, so I'm opening to suggestions and prospect of them.

Derryth's shop in act 3 sells noblestalk if you give it to her, and top end potions and ingredients.

It's not necessary to give Shadowheart the noblestalk even if you are romancing her. All it does is unlock some backstory for Act 3.

All in all, it's probably best to just give it to Derryth. It opens up a good source of potions and ingredients in Act 3, and it's the only way to get more than one noblestalk if you want it.

It's just annoying that she's so grouchy with you even if you give it to her, and it doesn't even improve your approval from her for some reason.

Noblestalk is irrelevant. Give it to her. I always do, anyway.
She'll thank you in Act 3, in her store. And you'll feel like doing a quantum of goodness.

Spoilers. Won't tag these.

Giving SH the Noblestalk will have her remember and know who Nocturne is - was - when they meet in the Temple. But honestly, from an overall perspective, it's not that important. It just changes how their meeting plays out.

Giving Durge the Noblestalk is probably the most important use of it, outside of giving it to the Bonecloaks. If the Durge has met Sc Fel, they have a restored memory of performing vivisections on their murder victims with Fel's assistance. From a meta perspective, if you've already figuring out in-game what Durge is, or just outside the game, spoiled it for yourself already, .... this is not that important.

So you're best off giving it to Derryth IMHO -- as stated above. Giving it to Baelen cures him ... AND makes him back into the abusive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ he was before. Giving it to Derryth means she will sell more of it and upgrade her shop inventory in Act 3, plus you get XP.

Weirdly, though, the Noblestalk that Derryth sells in Act 3 can now neither restore Durge's nor SH's memories. It still has other healing properties, though.

Adding to the spoilers, giving the Noblestalk to Baelen does give Derryth the courage to finally leave and live her own life. You'll find her in Elfsong Tavern where she'll tell you all about it.

if you put it in the camp chest you can feed it to your goth puppy without consuming it the durge too I think (maybe not the durge because you have to have it on you to use it on yourself) then give it to Derryth

You have to admit they put a lot of work into obscure dialog paths.
