A companion from Baldur’s Gate 3 can provide you with powerful allies for battles, but afterwards, he becomes unimportant to most players. He can accomplish a particularly annoying mission much easier than all other companions combined.
Which companion is being referred to? It is the Myconid Glut, which you can find in the Underdark at the Myconid colony. Glut has the ability to resurrect corpses through his spores, which then fight as servants at his side.
Many players have already discovered that not only humanoid bodies can be resurrected, but also monstrosities like the fallen Minotaurs or the landshark.
This way, Glut is an excellent companion in the Underdark to bring one or two more fighters to his side.
Once Glut has served his purpose, many players don’t really care what happens to the Myconid. At the latest, when he talks about his plans to kill the leader of the Myconid colony, many turn away from the freshly acquired companion, which also brings no significant consequences.
However, it makes sense to keep Glut alive at least until a certain mission. Because a particularly annoying task in the Underdark can be completed by Glut in seconds.
Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:
Glut turns a minefield into a stroll
Which annoying mission can Glut complete quickly? One mission in the Underdark involves rescuing the confused dwarf Baelen from a field full of Bibberbang mushrooms. These are highly explosive and emit flammable, toxic spores that would completely annihilate the dwarf if even one of these mushrooms were to explode.
Players therefore must try to somehow get to his bag, which contains a scroll for “Mist Step.” If you throw Baelen the bag, he can teleport to safety.
There are various ways to get to his bag. Some use a magic hand, others can cast Mist Step themselves. But one wrong move can be fatal. The caution, the individual steps, and the sensitive mushrooms can quickly become frustrating.
However, those who have Glut with them can count themselves lucky. Because he can simply walk through the Bibberbang mushrooms without them reacting to him.
Who discovered this? The player and Reddit user Thriillsy shows in a post on Instagram that Glut can simply be in the explosion radius of the Bibberbang without the mushroom reacting to the presence of the Myconid.
This makes the mission and all the planning around Baelen’s rescue much more relaxed. In addition, Baelen and the Bibberbang field are very close to the Myconid colony. Before you head off with Glut to the Duergar, why not quickly help the dwarf out of his predicament.
In the comments on Reddit, players wonder how AgentWowza asks whether all Myconids can move unharmed along Bibberbang, which sounds sensible to another player, ManicPixieOldMaid, However, there is no proof in the form of dialogue or a note for this.
The Underdark presents various dangers that can be resolved in different ways. Still, caution is advised, as not everywhere can your mushroom friend assist you. A large tower with a secret is one of these challenges. So you are not absolutely on your own, we want to help you: Baldur’s Gate 3: Arcane Tower – Disable turrets, activate elevator, explore cellar
