“Ross, the dispatch coordinator, has heard rumors that bandits frequently raid the apothecary and has requested an investigation and aid.”

The Halssius Apothecary is near St. Halssius’s House of Healing, where Kliff rescued Yann in the quest “Familiar Curses”.

Talk to the stranger outside the apothecary. He’s calling out for help and wearing a yellow coat. He’s grateful and calls the Greymanes for help if they attack again.

Before leaving, take your time to enter the apothecary. There is the Mild Herbal Tea recipe inside, and the memory: Halssius Apothecary (Hernand -> Clues).

The Letter from a Mother reads:
To my beloved son.
I should never have sent you to St. Halssius’s House of Healing.
The moment I saw them dragging you away that day, I knew I had made a horrible mistake.
But I couldn’t bring myself to stop them. Not a single day has passed without regret since I let you go.
If you ever happen to read this letter, could you forgive this foolish mother?

You can then access the mother’s memory: Mother and Son (Hernand -> Recollections)

Return to Ross and inform him of what the man at the apothecary reported. This will complete the quest.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
