gamepur.com:

While exploring the Underdark, you’ll encounter only a handful of creatures and friendly faces, but plenty of enemies and foes ready to attack you in Baldur’s Gate 3. One of the more friendly faces you can find is Baelen, a mushroom picker exploring the Underdark. Unfortunately, he’s gotten himself into a load of trouble.

You find him in the middle of a massive field of Bibberbang mushrooms, which will explode if you get too close to them or attempt to attack him. When you get close to this field, Baelen will explain his situation to you and insist you get his bag to him. Here’s what you need to know about how to save Baelen and get his bag to him in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Where to Find Baelen in Baldur’s Gate 3

I was able to locate Baelen by traveling to the north of the Selunite Outpost in Baldur’s Gate 3. From there, I made my way to the west, and traversed through the Underdark, taking on a handful of creatures. Thankfully, I only encountered one combat fight, but it was against a Bulette, a large, lizard-like creature that digs underground and bursts underneath your party. After going beyond a tree, blue glowing tree, I found Baelen. He was in a rather dangerous situation, and I had to do my best to find a way to get him out.

When I arrived at this area, Baelen made sure I didn’t get too much closer. He explained he needed to escape using whatever was in his bag. However, these mushrooms will explode in Baldur’s Gate 3 if you get too close. You don’t have too many options to reach this point, but there is a direct way to bypass these mushrooms and ensure they never explode.
