Walkthrough

• To forage and taste test for edible mushrooms — collect the brown edible mushrooms marked with the icon by getting close and clicking the interaction key (default F). They can be found in various spots inside the event bounds.
• The icon appears only when approaching or standing close to the mushrooms. Before picking them, it is advised to walk around and take a closer look at them. Poisonous mushrooms should not be touched.
• The collected mushrooms will respawn in the same or a close spot where they were initially gathered.
• There are 4 types of mushrooms:
  • Blueish purple — when interacted with, the  Hallucination effect will appear on the player's HUD bar, and it will last for 30 seconds. This can be cured by interacting with Water Buckets.
  • Brown with greenish vapor animation — when interacted with, the player receives  Poisoned condition which will last for 30 seconds. This can be cured by interacting with Water Buckets.
  • Brown with beige bubble animation — the edible mushrooms. When interacted with, the  Edible Mushroom effect will appear on the player's HUD bar. The effect stacks each time a player gathers edible mushrooms. These can be handed to the Fabled Brook for 1 contribution point.
  • Shiny yellow — when interacted with, the  Golden Mushroom effect will appear on the player's HUD bar. Once handed to the Fabled Brook, the player receives 5 contribution points. Completes the Golden Mushroom Guru achievement. Only available once per event.
• All mushroom types can have more or less large white spots.
• The player can collect as many mushrooms as they want before handing them in. The number of collected mushrooms can be tracked via the  Edible Mushroom effect displayed on the player's HUD bar or by the Edible Mushroom item in the inventory.
• Some mushrooms spawn an enemy fungus instead of being collected.

Dialogue

Event start or approaching the event

Fabled Brook: Hm? Ho! Snuck up on me, there. Take it you're a fellow mushroom enthusiast.

Fabled Brook: Join me in foraging? Easier work with two. Just pick them, then taste to test if they're any good.

<Character name>: Are they safe?

Fabled Brook: The mushrooms? Fairly mellow, long as you don't rile them up...

Fabled Brook: Oh you mean "edible"! No worries friend. These won't kill you. Least, I've never had it happen...

Talking to Fabled Brook

Fabled Brook: A fellow spore-seeking champion! Greetings, friend. I've been waiting for a mushroom maestro like you to stroll into my neck of the woods.

What are you talking about?

I need your help gathering edible mushrooms for the village. But make sure to taste test them first! They can be tough to see, and some are a bit... testy. So be careful!

Fine. I'll help.

I... don't feel well. Help... (only if you have  Hallucination)

Oh, you sweet soul! Go dunk yourself in some water. Trust me, you'll feel much better.

Wa...ter...

Thanks but no thanks.

Upon picking green poisonous mushroom

Fabled Brook: You okay? Looking a bit patchy in the coat there...

Fabled Brook: Whooooa, friend. You don't look so good...

Fabled Brook: Yak if ya need to, friend. We've all been there.

Upon picking purple poisonous mushroom

Fabled Brook: Nature is teaching you. Heeeeear her lessssonnnn.

Fabled Brook: Friennnnd? You all riiiiiiight?

Fabled Brook: Whaaaaatever you do, doooon't panic.

Fabled Brook: Remeeeember, waaaaterrr.

Upon picking edible mushroom

Fabled Brook: Could sauté that in some honey wine.

Fabled Brook: A little rock salt'd go great on that.

Fabled Brook: Roast that one with some fresh game? Mmmm.

When hallucinating

<Character name>: Need to stop...getting into...these situations...

Aggroing a mushroom

Fabled Brook: That's one nasty fungus—dice it right up!

Fabled Brook: Looks like a tough one. Tenderize it!

Fabled Brook: Found a bitter one, you did. Could use some mincing!

Event success

Fabled Brook: A right feast. My mouth waters just eyeing our bounty.

Fabled Brook: Fortunate, too. Seems more and more poisonous mushrooms are popping up—

Fabled Brook: Oh no... He's back! THE KING!
