Starting Location
To start this quest, go to Isaac’s Wares in Bakbattahl and purchase an item like Ferrystone.
Seek out a ripened quince
Isaac asks you to bring him a Ripened Quince to help him improve his vision. Quince can be found at the location shown below. Refer to the image and map below.
Quince can be found southwest of this building.
Wait a couple of days for the quince to mature (turn yellow).
Bring Isaac a ripened quince
Deliver a ripe quince to Isaac.
Visit Isaac in a few days
Leave the area and return after a few days. This time, Isaac wants you to find the second volume of the grimoire.
After you finish speaking, as you take a few steps back, his wife and daughter will approach you and tell you not to give him the book. This allows you the option to deliver either the real second volume or a false volume.
Find the grimoire’s second volume
Visit Ibrahim’s Scrap Store at the Checkpoint Rest Town. Buy “On the Transference of Souls 2” for 2000 G.
Request a forgery of the book for 2400 G. Wait two days and speak with Ibrahim to acquire a fake book titled “On the Transit of Souls 2”.
Deliver “On the Transference of Souls 2”
Go back to Isaac. Deliver the false volume “On the Transit of Souls 2”.
Alternatively, go back to Isaac. Deliver the real book, “On the Transference of Souls 2”.
Follow Isaac
Start following Isaac, and he will try to use the book.
If you give him the real one, he will kill his wife and daughter; if you give him the counterfeit, they will survive and he will give up trying to use the grimoire. This ends the quest.
