While visiting the Myconic Colony in Baldur’s Gate 3, you can encounter a woman named Derryth, who’s looking for her husband. Baelen has gone missing while searching for some Noblestalk mushrooms in the Underdark, and it is your task to locate the man. In this guide, we’ll help you along your journey by showing you where to find Baelen and his bag.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Find the Mushroom Picker Quest Guide
You can find Baelen in a field of Bibberbangs northwest of the Myconic Colony. Like other explosive mushrooms, you cannot get near these dangerous plants unless you wish to get blown up. Unfortunately, Baelen has somehow gotten stuck in the middle of this field, and you must get him out.
The man will tell you to bring him his backpack, which he lost some time ago. It is essential to grab this item, as it can help make the experience a lot easier and much quicker.
BG3 Baelen Bag Location
Although Baelen’s bag is located to the west of the character, you cannot simply stroll toward the backpack. First, you must enter the Turn-Based mode by clicking the hourglass icon on the right side of the hot bar.
This will give you more room to think and act since you must get near some Bibberbangs to grab the bag. Afterward, you can use the Misty Step spell or the Enhance Leap ability to reach the backpack. Players can also perform the Mage Hand to toss Baelen’s bag over to his side.
You can right-click the item to bring out the menu and select the Throw option. After you toss the bag toward Baelen, you must back away from the mushrooms, or they’ll explode.
Finally, you can end your turn and wait for the man to use a teleportation spell. You will need to return to the entrance and speak to Baelen, who will give you a Scroll of Invisibility. To end the side quest, you can fast-travel to the Myconic Colony to speak with Derryth again.
Completing the Find the Mushroom Picker mission will give you the Gloves of Uninhibited Kushigo. This rare gear can grant an additional 1d4 damage with Throw Attacks and attacks using Improvised Weapons.
Now that you know where to find Baelen and his backpack, you can also help Sovereign Glut avenge its clan in Baldur’s Gate 3. Unfortunately, the Myconic king will ask you to kill Sovereign Spaw, who didn’t help Glut when its home was attacked. You will need to decide between siding with Sovereign Glut or Sovereign Spaw, and each choice brings different outcomes and challenges.
