Full quest text

Description

Two cauldrons have been successfully opened; while you will be able to access them indefinitely, we still want to open up the other two that remain. This will provide all of us with more options to introduce the counter agent!

This time, you'll be hitting the Writhing Haunt's cauldron. It is almost due east of Andorhal, relatively close to the ruined city walls; again, eliminate the cauldron lord present there for its key. Use this bottle to obtain the sample from the cauldron.

Good hunting, ‹name›!

When you return

An access panel to the cauldron remains securely fastened. In order to open it, you will need to find the key.

On completion

The cauldron lord's key unlocks the access panel to this cauldron and then disappears, much like the other keys have for the previous two cauldrons you've dealt of. A putrid smelling substance churns violently beneath the platform of the cauldron.

There is a small spigot that the bottle fits well enough under, allowing you to draw a sample for High Priestess MacDonnell back at Chillwind Point.
