Noblestalk

Noblestalk is a Story Item related to the quest Find the Mushroom Picker. It can either be given to Derryth or Baelen Bonecloak as part of the quest, or consumed by Shadowheart or the Dark Urge to restore a memory or be given to Thulla to cure her of the Duergar Poison.

When broken, this mushroom's typically odourless fronds emit a strongly medicinal aroma.

Effect

 Action Restores a creature to full health and removes all conditions that negatively affect it when consumed.

Where to find

• Bibberbang Grotto in the north of Dread Hollow X: -6 Y: -66

Usage

• The Noblestalk found in the Underdark can be given to several different characters with different outcomes:
  • If given to Derryth in the Underdark, she will have three Noblestalk for sale her shop Bonecloak's Apothecary in the Lower City, but those can not be used to restore memories.
  • If given to Thulla she is cured of the Duergar Poison.
  • If given to Baelen, it restores his mental faculties, revealing the person he once was.
  • If given to Shadowheart, she initially refuses to consume the Noblestalk, which unlocks a new dialogue branch where the player character can attempt to convince her to eat it. If successfully persuaded via dialogue into consuming it, this triggers  A Familiar Face.
  • If consumed by the Dark Urge, it restores a memory which depends on whether or not the player character has encountered Sceleritas Fel yet.
• Successfully using a Noblestalk to recover a memory grants the  A Noble Endeavour inspiration to party members with the  Outlander background.

Notes

• An alternate version called Noblestalk Piece can be found in Act 3 in the basement of the Facemaker's Boutique. This version provides the same healing effects, but does not restore memories.
• If detonating the Bibberbang, the Noblestalk is destroyed. This only happens if the spore clouds are lit on fire. Putting out the torch and then triggering the Bibberbang (including by destroying the mushrooms) does not damage the Noblestalk.
• If thrown too far with Mage Hand, it takes damage and is destroyed.
• Drag-and-dropping it around with a Mage Hand is a safe way of moving it away from the Bibberbang.
• Destroying the mushrooms on the right hand side, walking up close, and then entering turn-based mode allows to walk over, pick up the Noblestalk and walk out before anything explodes.^{[Needs Verification]}
• If Derryth explains that she wants the noblestalk, and then it is offered to Shadowheart, the dialogue option to give it to Derryth may still be available. If it is then selected, Derryth uses lines in the Underdark that indicate she has been given the noblestalk. However, upon reaching Baldur's Gate in Act 3, the shop is poor and Derryth says that it is failing because she never found the noblestalk that she needed. (Behavior observed as of Patch 7)^{[Needs Verification]}
• It is possible to restore Shadowheart's memories while preserving the Noblestalk during her Persuasion/Intimidation check choice, after she says that she does not like mushrooms, by switching to a companion outside conversation range and having them drop it on the ground , or by donating it to one of the Bonecloaks, before rolling for Intimidation or Persuasion. Shadowheart may then still be convinced to eat it, yet not actually consume it. This is because the check for the party's possession of Noblestalk is made 'after' she is first told "You should eat the noblestalk, Shadowheart - perhaps it could restore your memories". It is not made again after the option to persuade or intimidate her into eating it is presented. If the Noblestalk is dropped before the check choices are shown, the game displays the message, "Option no longer available".
