Get Help from Healer Nettie Objectives

Find the druid's apprentice

• Aradin told us that the druid Halsin has an apprentice. If we can find her, she might be able to help us with the parasite.

Find the healer Nettie

• When we asked about healing, we were told to look for Nettie in the Inner Sanctum.
• There's a camp nearby where someone named Nettie can supposedly heal any wound. She might be able to help remove the parasite.

 Follow Nettie

• We told Nettie about the parasite. She seemed concerned and asked us to follow her to another room for treatment.

Find an antidote for the poison

• Unable to heal us, Nettie spared us the horror of ceremorphosis - by poisoning one of us with deadly venom. We need to cure the poison immediately.
• Nettie's corpse told us of a cure - the Elixir of Silvanus. It seems related to flora of the Dalelands.
• To make the lifesaving antidote, we need to mix a bundle of mugwort in a cauldron of theriac, blessed by Silvanus.

Quest Complete Description

• We managed to find a cure for the venom Nettie used - but we're still no closer to a cure for the parasite.
• We rescued Nettie's master, Halsin. Now that he's safe, we don't need to ask Nettie for help - we can go directly to the master druid instead.
• Nettie was killed before she could help us. We'll need to find another way to cure ourselves.
• Nettie's dead - serves her right for trying to poison us. But it's a bittersweet victory: we still need to find a way to deal with the parasite.
• We left the area without seeing if the druid apprentice could heal us.
