- REWARD - 3,000 Gold, 4,000 EXP, 5 Rift Crystals
- WHEN - After completing A Rude Awakening
- WHERE - Cassardis; Chief Adaro
Go and speak with Chief Adaro to find out that Quina set off for the Witchwood in search of a cure for your wound. Go past the Encampment and when you find a path to the left, take it. This is the Manamia Trail, so start taking it to find some Wolves in the way.
Keep going up the mountain until you spot a big boulder and some little ones. When you get close enough, they will roll down the mountain, so avoid them to not get hit. At the top, you'll fight some Bandits, but be particularly careful with the Fighter one, as he's a tough cookie and a lot stronger than the others.
What you want to do now is find the path that goes south and take it, where you'll encounter more Bandits and Wolves, including the tough fighter one. When the path splits, go southeast until you start seeing some fog, which means you've found the entrance to Witchwood.
THE WITCHWOOD
Up a little from the entrance will be Quina, who asks that you accompany her to the witch. Note that your map and mini-map are all covered with fog, so you won't be able to use that to navigate the area. There are glowing idols that can be found and destroyed that will lift the fog in that area, with the first one located directly across the river from your starting position.
Note that you don't need to lift the fog to find your objective, but it certainly helps. There are Wolves and Spiders found throughout the woods, so make sure you keep an eye on Quina and she doesn't take too much damage. Although you can't see where you're going, you have a general direction, so keep heading towards the circle on your map.
If you can get up high, you should be able to easily get to the clearing with the cottage. Once you're there, head inside for a cutscene. After it's over, Quina will leave, but you should check out the hut for any items, especially the chest. As you leave the hut, you'll see Quina heading in a separate direction from where you came, so follow her as this is an easier way to get out of the Witchwood.
It will lead to a cliff overlooking Seabreeze Trail (make sure you open the chest before you drop down), so drop down and head back to Cassardis. Speak with Adaro to finally finish the quest.
