During the prologue of The Blood of Dawnwalker, players are tasked with aiding Coen's mother, Esme, who has fallen ill. After obtaining special herbs from Anca in the town of Laslea, a crucial step involves preparing a medicine with a specific recipe to ensure Esme's recovery.
Preparing the Herbs Recipe
Once the stronger herbs are purchased from Anca, players must return home to prepare the medicine before mass. Anca provides a recipe for this medicine, which can be easily overlooked as it resides in the inventory. The correct preparation involves two key decisions at the stove: the water temperature and the amount of herbs to use.
The correct steps for preparing Esme's medicine are as follows: Add hot water and then add three spoonfuls of herbs. Failure to adhere to these exact measurements will result in Esme not surviving.
Upon successfully preparing the medicine, administering it to Esme will stabilize her condition, allowing her to survive Brencis's presence during the later mass. For further assistance in The Blood of Dawnwalker, players can consult guides on increasing their Infamy Level and defeating Brencis's court.
