Black Mushroom
At the character screen, click Change Quest.
Under ACT I Chapter 4: Reign of the Black King, select Begin Quest. Click Select Game.
Start the Game. At the Waypoint, select Cathedral Gardens.
Don’t enter the entrance next to the Cathedral Gardens waypoint (That’s Leoric’s Passage). You have to walk west of the Cathedral Gardens waypoint, and past the gates you will see the Tristram Cathedral’s front door. Break the door. Enter the Cathedral Level 1 entrance.
The Black Mushroom is an item that spawns randomly in the Tristram Cathedral Level 1 inside one of those big rooms with two exits — as illustrated below.
There’s a fissure on the ground where the Black Mushroom grows. Hover your mouse over the stack of mushrooms and click it to loot the Black Mushroom.
If you don’t find the Black Mushroom, leave the game and click Resume Game. A random map of the Cathedral Level 1 will spawn. Rinse and repeat until you find the Black Mushroom. The room you are looking for looks like this in the mini-map.
Note: I haven’t confirmed this in Diablo III Retail: In beta, the Black Mushroom used to drop from the Cauldron located within the cellar at Adria’s Hut.
It’s spelled Whimsyshire.
Thanks for the guide, I’ve been looking for this! 🙂
I have a video guide I am almost finished with I’ll be posting this weekend… MD just beat me to the punch.
That’s great man. I’ve only found fragmented information out there, and this is a tiny bit more complicated than just keeping Wirt’s leg and opening a portal to the secret cow level.
Another cool thing is that now we know what that frakking red glow was. 🙂
wowowowo really good and if you want Find more about us!
I have “rinsed” and “repeat”ed fucking 6 times and still can’t find the mushroom…
Got liquid rainbow first try!
QUICK TIP: After finding starting the quest as they describe above, FIND the “Forgotten Ruins” entrance. It is sometimes almost right north of the “penninsula” they describe, and sometimes just west of it. Makes getting there a WHOLE let easier, cutting down each trip’s time.
“Be careful where you place your weapons in case you accidentally sell or –worse case scenario — disenchant.”
Yet: “The Staff of Herding cannot be sold.”
Otherwise, thanks for the guide!
A friend told me that you can loot this in “Normal” mode, and he was right. I found it from first try !
I’be been trying for 5 hours… -.-‘
I’be been trying for 5 hours… -.-‘, and that is only when i’m trying to find the rainbow s**t..
