GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

In the prologue quest Withering Away you must prepare Anca’s medicine so your mother Esme can overcome anxiety and attend the Blood Mass. The game does not allow viewing Anca’s instruction page while crafting, so you must have the steps memorized or follow the correct choices. Choose Use hot water, then Add three spoonfuls of herbs to make the proper medicine; brewing it incorrectly causes severe in-game consequences for Esme.

• Quest: This occurs during the Withering Away prologue when your father asks you to prepare a calming medicine for your mother Esme ahead of the evening Blood Mass.
• Unavailable recipe: Anca gives a page of instructions earlier, but the game blocks viewing that page while you are making the medicine, requiring memorization of the recipe.
• Exact steps: Select Use hot water first, then select Add three spoonfuls of herbs to follow Anca’s instructions and produce the correct medicine.
• Consequences: Brewing the medicine incorrectly results in severe negative consequences for Esme and affects the quest outcome.
