Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Mareh the Hermit asks you to solve a riddle by reading the three Lorebooks at his feet. The three Lorebooks read as follows:

Talk to Mareh again and tell him: I think the answer you're looking for is "air." Giving him this answer gets you what you want, which is an answer to Lady Laurent's question: "Within the maw and between the teeth! The gargoyle cannot hide its mortality forever!"

At this point you must help the Lady Laurent harvest a gargoyle by killing one. You will not be given quest completion if you pull a gargoyle from outside of the quest designation area into the area to kill it. Once you kill the gargoyle, the Lady Laurent cuts its tongue out and has you meet her back at the Ransacked Camp.

Once back at camp, talk to Lady Laurent tells you that she is not quite sure how the antidote is prepared, so you are going to test several of the antidotes on goblins that ate the stew you dosed and turned into stone. Lady Laurent, meanwhile, is going to drag Stibbons back to camp and wants you to meet her there when you are done. Run down to the designated are and use the antidote on four stone goblins. Each of the four goblins either melt or blow up when you use the antidote. Once done, make the trek back to Lady Laurent's camp and talk to her. She tells you that she knows how to adjust to antidote for use on Stibbons. When it is ready, she uses it to turn Stibbons back into himself. Talk to Stibbons, who says he remembers nothing of what happened. Speaking with Lady Laurent afterward closes out the quest and gives you a reward.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
