The Potion of False Death | Isle of the Dead - Quests Risen 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Quest giver: Tao [#1]

This quest is part of: The Journey to the Underworld

The first one is received from the guard Tao during your first conversation. Your goal is to brew a potion which will allow you to cross over to the underworld. You'll need Black lotus and Grave dust to make it (see: Black Lotus and Grave Dust). Both items are found in the further parts of the island. Go through the gate opened for you by Tao, and face a Warrior [#2] lurking there. Further on you'll have to fight a difficult battle with a Guard and a Ghoul [#3] - firearms work and some Dirty Tricks work best here. Afterwards, focus on collecting the necessary ingredients - you can find their locations below. Remember to remain cautious - there are enemies everywhere!

Lotus is not black at all.

Black lotus can be found:

right behind the place where you fought the undead [#4];
next to it, by the slope [#5];
near the grave at the Arena [#6];
right after leaving the cave and reaching open space [#7];
next to it, under the withered tree [#8].

You'll find the Grave dust in the huts, not by the graves

Grave dust can be found:

by the Arena, in the house on the right [#9];
in the northern cave, in the corridor on the left (climb the slope) [#10];
at the grave between the houses [#11];
on a shelf in the Thief's Temple [#12];
in the hut near the huge gate, on a shelf [#13];
in the house opposite the gate, on the table [#14].

Time for a test of faith.

Once you have all the necessary ingredients, enter the temple and talk to Tao [#15] (killing two Warriors by the door on the way). Tell him that the search is over to receive the Potion of false death from him. Lie down on the altar and drink the mixture. This is when the quest ends - to continue The Journey to the Underworld, lie down on the altar and drink the mixture.
