* [[Misty Step]] or [[Fly]] can also help the party travel safely. The backpack within the Bibberbang has two Scrolls of Misty Step.
* In turn-based mode, the traps will only trigger on the Environment turn; a character with a high movement speed (such as a [[Thief]] using multiple [[Dash]] actions in a turn) can move between the safe areas on their own turn.

The delicate mushroom will be destroyed by any damage, including the impact of being thrown by a Mage Hand. If any of the flammable Bibberbang spores are set alight, the chain reaction will also destroy it. However, if the source of ignition (a lit torch near the backpack) is first removed from the area, the Bibberbangs can be intentionally set off from a distance, with no harm to the Noblestalk, leaving the party free to walk in once the cloud settles. Otherwise, employ the previously mentioned techniques to acquire the Noblestalk.

After obtaining the Noblestalk, speak to Shadowheart and she can be offered it as a chance to regain her memories. Shadowheart as hesitant to do this, as she fears it might be considered defying [[Shar]] to try and overcome the memory suppression. However, she can be Persuaded or Intimidated (DC 12) to consume it. If she does, she regains a childhood memory of a tiefling named 'Rennald' who comforted her when she was being teased by the other initiates. This initiates A Familiar Face, as Shadowheart hopes to reunite with the tiefling in [[Baldur's Gate]].
