Player tricks Balthazar with a flower

How did he do that? It all started with a discussion about the mysterious Sussur flower from the Underdark in Act 1. It is a strange plant that can create an anti-magic zone around itself.

Under normal circumstances, this plant would hardly end up on a player’s must-have list. The flowers tend to wither as soon as you leave the dark underworld.

But player Kill-bray found out on Reddit that the Sussur Blossoms can survive outside of the Underdark:

  • The flower must be placed in a bag or other container and kept closed.
  • He also discovered that you can not only steal from NPCs to take loot from their pockets, but also to secretly slip them your own items.

    • What was the fight against the necromancer like? His grand strategy unfolded when he found himself inside the Temple of Shar in the room of Balthazar, a powerful necromancer. Here he put his bold plan into action. He donated the bag containing the Sussur flower to Balthazar.

    So in the later fight with him (at Night Song), Balthazar literally did nothing. He found himself in a rather awkward position. Because of the anti-magic barrier around him, his magical powers were useless.

    So instead of casting spells or summoning undead minions, he ran around aimlessly with nothing to do. Balthazar was probably not prepared for this flowery twist.

    Now the player just had to defeat the many undead creatures, which turned out to be an easy fight. The biggest problem was a mage who blinded some of my party members, but ultimately it was an easy fight.

    Eventually, what originally started as a playful idea blossomed into a triumphant success. It’s always amazing to see what ingenious solutions players can come up with through their creativity. This shows us that it’s worth taking a closer look at seemingly ordinary objects. With a touch of creativity they could be the key to victory.
