As you progress through the game, you will unlock the Spore grotto location, where we need the character - a talking mushroom named Sozo. He will have four requests for the player, and as a reward, you will receive runic shards. The requests are as follows, in order: 10 mushrooms, 20 mushrooms, perform the "brainwashing" ritual, and build an expensive decoration "Mushroom-shaped Statue." After that, you can take a break for 1-3 days and attend to your own matters.


After 1-3 days (I can't say exactly because it's been a while since I played), we return to him in the shelter, where we find a rather unpleasant scene. Sozo is lying dead, completely covered with the mushrooms he loved so much.

We are interested in his head, or more precisely, the mushroom that grew from it. The player has the opportunity to collect the mushroom and plant it in their cult on any of the available beds.

Personally, I got the mushroom to grow in three days using fertilizer!

After this, in your cult, Sozo Junior appears, constantly asking to bring him Grobo, as without it they are so defenseless, and he is eager to "protect" them.

Next, you have the opportunity to go to the Anura and save a new follower in the form of a mushroom in any room where you release a follower.


After the fungal follower is delivered to the settlement and trained, Sozo will express his gratitude, and after some time, he will show you how he consumes this follower. This is not a mandatory procedure, and the quest can be canceled, which will put Sozo in an aggressive state, and he will start shouting that he would rather be in prison.

- The phrase will be highlighted in yellow -

From my own experience, after the fifth time, Sodzo will start subtly hinting in his dialogues that if you don't like what he's doing, why not put him in prison.

After you put him in prison, you must re-educate him, as you usually do with dissenters. After that, the Sodzo mushroom will fall from his head, he will regain his senses, handing you the appearance for the follower "Mushroom" and the achievement.
After that, an old man will walk around your settlement. (Since the update was released only today, I'm not sure if this character can die of old age.)


Thank you for your attention, and I hope I was able to help you at least a little. If you find any errors or have any comments, feel free to write about it in the comments.
