Dobrogrib in Baldur's Gate 3 – a rare quest item from the first act that can be eaten or used for the task “Find a mushroom picker”. The mission is to find Derrit's lost husband in the Underdark, who got lost in search of a curiosity. Fulfilling the assignment can be difficult, since Baelen may die in the process, and the good mushroom itself may explode.
From the guide you will learn: how to find and save the mushroom picker Baelen in BG3, how to get the good mushroom, who to give the quest item to, and what reward you can get for completing the task.
How to start the "Find the Mushroom Picker" quest in Baldur's Gate 3
Derrit will be found in the western part of the Myconid Colony in the north Underdark. The merchant is standing not far from the treasury, locked with vines.
Talk to the woman - she will tell you that her husband has disappeared, after which the quest will begin "Find a mushroom picker". You can ask to describe the dwarf, then you will learn his characteristic features: bald, in a blue tunic and “stupid”.
Where to find Baelen
Baelen in Baldur's Gate 3 is in a clearing with a dobroshroom and bieberbangs. The latter are capable of releasing a poisonous cloud if you get too close to them.
From the myconid colony, follow the road west and, before reaching the area with the sussur tree, go down the gnarled roots. As you approach the Biberbangs, you can find a mushroom picker in Baldur's Gate, the dialogue will begin automatically. We recommend saving before attempting to save the dwarf, since the good mushroom may explode and the man himself may die.
How to save Baelen in Baldur's Gate 3
To save a mushroom picker in Baldur's Gate 3, help him get out alive from a clearing of poisonous bieberbangs. To do this, give the dwarf a scroll for magical movement; this can be done in several ways:
- In the first dialogue, select a replica "Show scroll Misty Step" and give the item to the dwarf, for which you will have to a Strength test (DC - 10). For the phrase "Scrolls aren't cheap these days, you know" you will get approval from Astarion.
- Return Baelenu lost backpack with a scroll of “Mist Step” inside - the item is located in the middle of the bieberbangs, just west of the dwarf himself. Beware of the torch located nearby - it can cause the entire mushroom field to explode. Throw the backpack close to the dwarf or move it with the Magic Hand spell (available from Laezel).
- When completing a task "Avenge the Circle of Glot" To return the backpack, you can use a myconid, since mushrooms do not react to it.
If you want to get to your backpack on foot, do it in advance. put out the torch thrown on the field a spell or a bottle of water so that when the poison spreads, an explosion does not occur, due to which both the dwarf and the good mushroom will suffer. The necessary ability is available 
When Baelen receives the required scroll, it will move to the character. Talk to him to continue the quest, receive the Invisibility scroll as a reward, and return to the myconid camp.
If the dwarf dies, you can take from his backpack:
- Scrolls “Misty Step” ×2 and “Smooth Fall” ×1.
- A circle of cheese from Waterdeep.
- Dried sausage rings.
- Red Apple.
From the corpse of Baelen Bonecloak you will pick up:
- Scroll of "Invisibility".
- Rope.
- Knife.
Reward
When you complete the request to find a mushroom picker in Baldurs Gate 3, Derrit will give Gloves of the Indomitable Kushigo (the equipped character deals up to 4 units of additional damage when attacking with a missile or using an improvised weapon).
Where to find Dobroshroom in Baldur's Gate 3
The Dobroshroom grows near the wall in the east of the clearing where Baelen was found. You can get to it in the following ways:
- Go to the good mushroom while under the influence of the Elixir of Poison Resistance or in walk mode, using jumps or a normal step, trying to end your turn away from the bieberbangs. If you are affected by poison, restore your health.
- Jump on the stones above the clearing clockwise and at the end go down to the good mushroom to collect it. This option is suitable for heroes with a high strength rating, as well as those who have the “Misty Step” or “Flight” spells and scrolls.
- Alternatively, use the Magic Hand spell (you'll find it among your companions). Laezel). Then do not pick it up with it, but move it to the entrance to the clearing to one of the characters. Do this by long pressing on the mushroom and dragging it to a new area (if you try to throw it, it will be destroyed).
If it comes into with fire, the dobroshroom will be destroyed, but it is immune to poison, so bieberbangs do not pose a threat to it. You can in advance put out the torch on the field so that a chain reaction with explosions does not occur after the poison spreads.
Who should I give Dobrogrib to?
You can keep the Dobroshroom for yourself to restore your health one-time and remove all negative statuses, or you can give it to one of the other characters.
Baelen
If you give the good mushroom to Baelen, he will be healed and invited to the Bone Cloak Pharmacy, located in the Lower City in the third act. However, his relationship with his wife leaves much to be desired - Derrit will not be happy about the return of the tyrant.
Derritt
Give the good mushroom to Derrit in Baldur's Gate 3 so that the Bone Cloak Shop can become rich. You will not receive additional rewards for this, with the exception of the “Darkened Ring” when completing the Intimidation test (DC – 10).
If you refuse to give the mushroom to Derrit in the dialogue, she will be offended and stop trading with the characters.
Shadowheart
Having tasted the dobroshroom house of sorrows in the third act, you can find out additional information from his task.
If you want to give the mushroom to both Shadowheart and Derrit at the same time, then follow this procedure:
- After rescuing Baelen, talk to Derrit and select all the replica options, but “Show her the good mushroom.” Then exit the dialogue.
- Place the mushroom in a separate chest or bag in your inventory, strike up a conversation with Shadowheart and give it to her.
- Talk to Derrit again and select the option to transfer the good mushroom.
There is a second method to use a valuable item twice:
- Start a conversation for one hero.
- Switch to the second character, who has a good mushroom in his inventory, and throw it on the ground.
- Go back to the conversation and select the line about the mushroom.
Dark temptation
If you feed the good mushroom to a character with the Dark Seduction background, he will be able to regain some memories associated with vivisection and the butler Sceleritas Gnus.
Tulle
You can use the good mushroom as one of Tulla’s healing methods, although this is not the most profitable use of a rare item. To do this, make the choice in the dialogue “Give her the good mushroom instead of the medicine.”

I put the mushroom in my companion's bag, first I gave it to Shadowheart, then Derrit, and I can also give it to Baelen. The mushroom itself disappeared.
I took the mushroom with Laezel's ghostly hand. “Dobrogrib activated” was written, then the mushroom simply disappeared. It’s not in inventory, it’s no longer on the ground... what should I do?
Hello. If something happened to the mushroom (perhaps your hand ended up eating it and not taking it), then you can use the method from the paragraph “what to do if it exploded.”
You did it wrong, you should have done this: create a hand, and not activate it, but drag it (like a keg of gunpowder) in small steps to one of the characters, then right-click on the mushroom: “pick up”
or simply drink a potion of resistance to poison and go and pick it up, having first thrown a torch with your magical hand onto a raised platform directly above it
