So today I wanted to hunt down that sweet Vest of Soul Rejuvenation in Baldur’s Gate 3. Heard it’s top notch for healing, especially if you’re running around as a squishy caster like my Gale. Figured I’d document the whole chase for anyone else trying to grab it without tearing their hair out.
Starting the Hunt in the Dank Shadows
First things first, I bounced around the Druid Grove like an idiot for a while. Checked every vendor, looted every crate, even pickpocketed that grumpy blacksmith. Nothing. Total bust. Knew I had to head deeper into Act 1. Got a tip online (not my first rodeo, but this game’s map is huge, okay?) that pointed towards the Underdark.
Hitched a ride via the Whispering Depths spider pit – kinda gross, falling down that hole. Ended up near the Sussur Tree. Immediately got jumped by those mushroom people, the Myconids. Almost turned Gale into paste. Note to self: bring more fireballs next time.
Finding Fungal Central
After calming down Glut (weird mushroom sovereign dude), figured I’d explore their colony proper. That’s where the real loot hunt began.
- Checked Sovereign Spaw’s junk pile: Nada. Just some shrooms and basic junk. He wasn’t selling anything good either.
- Wandered over to the merchant, Derryth Bonecloak: Nope. Her stuff was mostly alchemy bits. She did rip me off for some Noblestalk though.
- Scoured the whole damn colony: Looted barrels, dug up buried caches near Glut’s place. Found a decent pair of boots, but no vest. Was about to give up and head to the Grymforge when I remembered…
The “Aha!” Moment Near the Beach
Pushed past the colony towards that weird beach with the drow corpses and the Bibberbang fields. Pure chaos zone. Almost blew myself up. Then, just before the ledge path leading down to the water proper, tucked away behind some big rock formations to the right… spotted it.
A beat-up, ordinary-looking Wooden Chest. Sitting there, plain as day, not even locked. Could’ve walked right past it. My heart actually skipped a beat. Clicked it open…
Boom. Vest of Soul Rejuvenation. Just sitting inside. Blue background, golden trim. No fight, no trap, no fancy puzzle. Just loot. Felt almost anticlimactic after all that searching. Slapped that bad boy on Gale instantly. That “Rejuvenate” passive? Chef’s kiss. Worth the fungal hassle.
So yeah, short version: Head to the Underdark Myconid Colony, make your way towards the big Bibberbang beach area near where you find the Spectator, and check that lonely chest near the rocks before heading down to the water. It’ll be there. Unless you killed the Myconids… then good luck, buddy. Hope this saves someone some backtracking!
