This article is a The Myconid Tower is a side quest in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
Acquisition[]
In the south-east corner of the Underground River Entrance is a ruined tower heavily overgrown with fungus, due to being used by a local myconid colony as a graveyard. As soon as it's approached, a Dying Myconid, enveloped in a cloud of spores, can be seen. Interacting with it will cause it to begin an attempting to communicate with the party using its spores.
If the character is a Druid (but not a Shaman), or if certain characters such as M'Khiin Grubdoubler or Jaheira are in the party, they will be able to translate what the myconid is saying. If Gorion's ward has a Constitution score of 11 or higher, this will change several of the responses slightly, but will not affect the outcome. In addition, many of the built-in NPCs have voiced lines here, some of which are also altered based on that character having a Constitution of 11 or higher.
If the player moves the fallen branch in the tower, an angry Myconid Elder and several Myconids will promptly arrive, livid at the intrusion; although the player can attempt to be diplomatic, a fight is unavoidable.
Once defeated, the Myconid Elder drops the Myconid Bloom-Sac, which is both a magical item in its own right and a component for the side quest Slime Sickness.
