Sovereign Glut | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Once you overthrow Spaw, Sovereign Glut resurrects any myconid you may have slain in the battle. Furthermore, he resurrects ANY corpses nearby. He even resurrects corpses he isn't able to when he is in your party, like mindflayers. I had a little fun with this by gathering all corpses I could find in act one and if you litter the area around him, he eventually resurrects all of them. Be careful with the placement because the mushroom zombies don't move and can easily stop him from reaching other corpses.

I had about 150 corpses and chose 4 different areas to drop about 1/4th of the corpses in each spot. You have to be careful with this because certain corpses are considered "illegal" to throw on the ground. Not sure the logic behind this, but I think it's if you have a red loot button if you right click on any given corpse in your inventory. So use stealth in certain blind spots of the myconid as areas to drop them. If you use a drag and drop method with your mouse from the camp chest into your inventory you can go much higher than your character's carry limit. My character was walking around with 24 thousand pounds of corpses.

Anyways, I waited around for a few hours afk and before long, Glut was done resurrecting and dancing with his fellow myconid in victory. Okay, I quick save and started battle. Perhaps a better computer than mine can handle this, but 150 enemies in one fight really bogged my game down (who would've guessed?). Each enemy turn took about 3 minutes for most of them to just dash and stand there doing essentially nothing.

I tried my best, but having only 4 turns to the enemy's 150 or so at approximately 3 minutes each meant that I would have to wait about 7-8 hours per turn. Unless my computer's just bad (likely) or having some really good AOE (I didn't) to clear out a bunch of the weaklings, the enduring this slow of gameplay is simply unbearable for me. And that's nothing to say of the difficulty of the fight itself. Most enemies seem willing to fight if they can find a path to your characters, but most can't and don't do anything. And some enemies are clearly not meant to be resurrected. Bloated hyenas, for example, were never programmed to move so they have 0 movement and just stand still.

Would probably be better to find a dozen or two difficult enemies to donate to the Glut Colony and have a nice boss brawl to challenge yourself with if you do want to do this.

Glut can reanimate the Bulette, who then has to attack-jump through narrow passages, but is otherwise an AMAZING combatant.

Submit

So I had glut reanimate the minotaur and was going to take them to fight the spectator, but the minotuar glitched and wouldn't actually roll initiative and fight the spectator. So he was just stuck standing there forever until the spectator just decided to kill them finally as well as glut.

Strong characters can carry bodies to a certain size in thier inventory, wonder if you can just go collect some bodies from above ground and experiment with his ressurecting power

Submit

If you kill gehk coal before he gets a chance to talk to the player; when you animate him as a spore zombie glut becomes hostile to the player, but only when he's follower in the party. This makes the underdark significantly harder because you can't just abuse glut's haste spores to beat everything in one round.

Submit

i just discovered he can combine mushrooms...need to investigate this...

Submit

he's so dreamy i want to romance him

Submit

I hope someone makes a mod with his spore zombie skill being a skill that can be learned by the player.

Submit

Is it possible to get de spore follower skill? The spore zombies from the druis were a letdown

Submit

Did something change in an update because I, like the previous poster can't start this quest, chose second answer, Glut speaks and then dialog ends, can't initiate any other dialog.

Submit

Can't start his quest. He just says he 'grows among them but is not part of them' and then ends the dialog

Submit

If ur gonna kill him dont do it at the colony they don’t let you loot his corpse/ you have to hide and do it but there are always eyes on you smh

Submit

Glut can actually resurrect any corpse you can pick up and drop in the Underdark. To test this, I put True Soul Gut's corpse in the Underdark and had Glut use Animating Spores to resurrect her. The only thing is Glut will aggro if you just drop a corpse in front of him for some reason. So I had Karlach ungroup and drop the corpses to test in a different area. It's interesting to see what abilities some of these bosses have and use them yourself.

This mf wants me to kill his neighbor to conquer his colony after having me do his dirty work. A bad choice for someone in smiting distance.

Submit

I accepted Glut's quest to take over Spaw's place, but I thought I would be able to out him to Spaw, but the only option I am given is to attack him, so isn't there a way to double cross Glut?

Submit

I now have a Bulette roaming around my camp while I'm on an adventure lol

Went down to the fish guys before camping to see if Glut would follow; he did. Followed me to camp, too, with his Spore minion.
Well, seems Shadow and Lae'zel had a "misunderstanding" lol, and having the cup full with Lae'zel I didn't bother to prevent it from happening (not using her either).
After all this, Glut starts a cutscene; "Blood has been spilt on holy ground!" and attacks me :'D
The whole camp joins in (vs Glut) including the Bulette. Now the Bulette is in my camp (and I expect another fight IN camp next time I go rest lol)
Oh and Glut's corpse seem to leave camp with us :P

If you choose to stay "neutral" (option 2) his spore minion will fight WITH you (did for me at least) but upon reloading save it was hostile. Before loading, it was green (ally) even after Glut was dead.
If siding with Glut you do NOT have to "kill everyone", just Spaw.
If people have issues with multiple betrayals, it may be because of some order you do things IN the Myconid colony (instead of outside).
I recommend "hiring" Glut as early as possible, to make everything easier (including dealing with the beach Duregars).
You can also visit Grymforge before all this, and the Slave Hunter Duregars don't seem to be affiliated with a faction.
You do unfortunately not get XP from killing i.e. Bulette a second time (after being turned into a Spore Servant).

i wish glut was my butt slut

Submit

Confirmed that you can spore the Drows (tried it on the guy with Hook Horror "minions") and keep their spells etc. Of course this is the last thing I do in the entire Underdark, lol. Oh well (used Hook Horror for the beach fight, was fun).

Submit

Word of Advise. If you bring a Bulette back to life. Dismiss it before saying no to Glut.....

Submit

If you encounter the "bug" where he will stop talking to you after a few lines, try to look for a second sovereign - "Spaw". After you have spoken with both of them, Glut should offer you his quest.

Submit

I killed Gekh Coal before he could act, then raised him as a Spore Servant. I tried having him use him animate dead spell, but the stupid zombies rezzed as enemies to me. After the fight, I sided against Glut, but Gehk was still allied with me against Glut. Just goes to show, you can't trust the undead.

Submit

I revived bulette and minotaur and think the former is more powerful. Did anyone try reviving spectator?

Submit

After being named Peace Bringer and killing Glut, you became King Spirit after talk with Spaw

Submit

man i wish my Spore Druid could have that Spore Follower ability

Be stealthy when you get to yhe Underdark and reach the myconid colony, recruit Glut then use him to kill enemies leaving the duergar ones for last, he can revive even the minotaurs and bulette and have them fight for you, very OP
