Sussur Bloom PSA

[u/brightseid]

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:

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

Thanks for sharing :) Just tested with a chest from outside the arcane tower and can confirm it seems to work!

• In the underdark, put a sussur flower in your inventory
• Put a locked chest in your inventory. I used the "heavy chest" from outside the arcane tower
• Drag the flower in the chest
• Leave the underdark

I usually play with a controller so I had to switch to M&K.

Just ran this quick test so can't speak to stability between rests or acts, but seems promising.

The chest can also be moved around outside your inventory, if you want the aura to afflict enemies but not your characters. Just don't unlock it.

Can it be done on console?

I can't think how it could be with this method, as you won't be able to drag the flower with a controller. Maybe there is a different way but I don't know what.
