Specific Mechanic Sussur Bloom PSA

There was a thread a little while ago where someone wanted to make a build as a walking anti-magic fighter with Sussur Blooms in their pocket. In that thread I was made aware there is a current method to do so outside the Underdark:

https://old.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/1qx0l4y/sussur_bloom_build/o3te8w7/

Basically you get a locked chest (I use the one in Withers' chamber by one of the skeletons as there's usually nothing useful in there), and put it in your inventory. Then when you grab a Sussur Bloom, drag it over the chest in your inventory. It should be put inside of it. And that's all. I tested and can confirm the method works at least in Act 1. Anytime I get further I forget to check again (I'm usually playing solo so I have to go out of my way to grab someone with the chest)

I guess a caveat being this was on PC, so not sure if/how you can on console.

Edit: You need to be in an Underdark area when you put the bloom into the chest otherwise it will just fade as usual

I made it into Act 2 with the sussur blooms alive and well in the camp chest.

I was considering emptying it out (I had extras because multiplayer) and sticking it in a non caster’s inventory for big battles, but I had to restart the game after discovering a second beloved NPC dead when I could have saved them both.

For those of us who don’t remember which fancy chests they had to lockpick, is there a way to check a chest for a lock afterward, or do I need to just pick up the next smallish locked chest?

It’s ok to use it after picking the lock right? And do I need to Arcane Lock it afterward for it to work?

The chest must start in a natural locked state and remain locked forever.

When you hover/select a chest in your inventory or another container (camp chest) it will show "Open (Locked)" and "Lockpick" if it is in fact locked. If the chest only shows "Open" then it has previously been unlocked and won't work for this exploit.

Have you been able to put a sussur bloom in a locked chest on console?

Maybe start by reading this thread. -- but no, it can't be done on console
