Ironman concerns
  • The hangover cure can be made before the quest starts by combining milk, chocolate dust, and snape grass to conserve inventory space.
  • The hangover cure itself is an untradeable item so if preparing for Group Ironman, do not premake these as you will be unable to share them with your group through Group Storage or Trading.

Walkthrough

Starting the quest

Bring all items with you. Make the hangover cure now by putting chocolate dust in a bucket of milk, then add snape grass, being careful not to drink or eat anything.

  • Speak to Edmond. (Chat 1•1)…
    1What's happened to her?
    1Yes.
  • Speak to Alrena inside or near the house.
  • Take the Picture of Elena off the table in the house.
  • Speak to Edmond.
  • Use 4 buckets of water on the mud patch behind the house (between the cabbages and potatoes).
  • Dig with a spade on the softened ground.
  • Go south to the farthest pipe.
  • Attempt to open the grill.
  • Use a rope on the grill.
  • Speak to Edmond.
  • Put on the gas mask and climb up the pipe.

Finding Elena

  • Go east and speak to Jethick; he will give you a book. (Chat 1)…
    1Yes, I'll return it for you.
  • Go north to the house against the wall (next to the rotten apple spawn).
  • Attempt to open the door.
  • Speak to Martha Rehnison or Ted Rehnison in the house.
  • Go upstairs and speak to Milli Rehnison.
  • Go south of the town square to the large building along the southern wall with an "X" on the doors and a staircase inside going down. Attempt to open the door. (Chat 2)…
    2I fear not a mere plague.

Getting inside

  • Go to the large main building on the north side of the town square, north of the manhole.
  • Talk to the Clerk in the main room. (Chat 1•3)…
    1Who is through that door?
    3This is urgent though! Someone's been kidnapped!
  • Speak to Bravek. (Chat 1•3)…
    1This is really important though!
    3Do you know what's in the cure?
    He will give you a scruffy note for a hangover cure.
  • Use the hangover cure on Bravek; he will give you a warrant. (Chat 3)…
    3They won't listen to me!

Finishing up

  • Return to the Mourner house, the one with "X" on the doors and the stairwell.
  • Search the barrel west of the staircase for a small key.
  • Go downstairs, enter the cell, and speak to Elena.
  • Return to the town square, go down the manhole, through the sewer, climb the mud pile, and speak to Edmond at his house.
