Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling the Ultimate Choice: Glut or Spaw?
Choose your allegiance in Baldur's Gate 3: Will you join forces with Glut to lead a Myconid rebellion, or will you stand with Spaw to suppress the uprising? The fate of the Myconid Colony lies in your hands
Players in Baldur's Gate 3 initially assist the Myconid colony as a unified whole. Though each member is unique, they function harmoniously, with Spaw representing the voices of all residents. Even Glut, when asked by Spaw, offers aid to the party in eliminating the Duergar.
However, as players continue aiding the colony, it becomes evident that appearances deceive. Glut desires new leadership, leading to the need for Spaw's removal. In Baldur's Gate 3, players have the freedom to choose between these factions, but must bear the substantial consequences of their decision.
Siding With Glut
This article uncovers in-game repercussions and uncovers undisclosed details that the player's character may be unaware of. Devoted role-playing gamers may prefer to discontinue reading and discover these elements firsthand.
Only recommended for evil-aligned campaigns
Must kill Spaw and the rest of the colony
Ends questlines with all other colonists
Astarian gives his approval, while Karlach and Lae'zel express their disapproval.
The sole motive behind this decision is pure malevolence. As a consequence of assaulting Shaw, the entire colony, with the exception of Glut, will become hostile. This choice ultimately results in the downfall of the Myconids civilization in this particular area.
Siding With Spaw
However, there are several incentives for opting for this choice, such as the Ring of Fire and the Featherlight Boots. Nevertheless, these items are not particularly distinct since they can be easily obtained from various vendors or found in different locations. Despite its lack of profitability compared to other outcomes in the Underdark, it could still bring immense satisfaction to the heart of a malevolent character.

Must kill only Glut
Astarian disapproves, Karlach and Lae'zel approve
Siding with Spaw may be seen as advantageous for acquiring more loot, as he reveals a secret area. However, players who possess Misty Step or a Potion of Invisibility can still access it. Ultimately, this choice becomes more about immersing oneself in the roleplay and quests rather than acquiring loot.
For those seeking to level up quickly, aligning with Spaw is recommended, as he continues to battle the Duergar. Having allies like Omeluum, Thulla, and the merchant proves beneficial. Moreover, players will have the satisfaction of aiding the survival of the Myconids instead of causing harm to them.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
