Bitter Food, Bitter Memories Walkthrough
As the side story starts, you come across a sick NPC suffering from severe stomach pain. Eleanor will suspect that the cause might be blight stone poisoning, likely from eating unwashed herbs in the wild. To cure the sick NPC, she decides to prepare a special medicinal dish and asks for your help to gather the correct ingredients: Ajarakan Gallbladder, Hory Bone, and Poignant Pecan.
Location of the Poignant Pecan
Go to the lookout points and mark the location of Spice Merchant, Ajarakan, and Hory Bone.
Poignant Pecan can be obtained from a spice merchant. Head toward Tarkan, checking common resting spots where travelers usually stop. Speak with the spice peddler near the boat to obtain Poignant Pecan.
Location of the Ajarakan Gallbladder
Defeat an Ajarakan to obtain the gallbladder.
Location of the Hory Bone
Hory Bone can be found in areas with a high concentration of monster remains, with one such location shown below.
Once all items are collected, return to camp where Eleanor prepares the medicine. After drinking the Convoles, the patient quickly recovers and regains strength, and the quest concludes after a few more dialogues.
