Find and steal the recipe for assassin potions. Quest Giver: Alberto, in the Assassin Castle Location(s): None Prerequisite Quest: The Old Treasure Next Quest: The Golden Saber Reward: 500 gold and an assassin potion, or the recipe for assassin potions ID: ODDAss24Rezept

Walkthrough

Alberto is a jealous old man, especially when it comes to making potions. Gorald is the only one in the Order who knows how to make assassin potions, which means he's got a stranglehold on the pricing and supply. Alberto wants a piece of the pie, but to do so, he needs the recipe. Enter you, the perfect person to get it. Alberto will give you a list of places to look; all you have to do is search them: the forge, the House of the Dancers, and where Gorald sleeps. The recipe is hidden behind a crate on the west wall of the sleeping quarters. Unfortunately, it's encoded - you need the key to decrypt it. The key is tucked away on a shelf above the forge; get it and return to Alberto. If you tell him "You're not a friend", he'll give you the recipe as proof that he is; otherwise, he'll keep it for himself and sell you potions.

30		Alberto thinks Gorald must have a letter key for the incomprehensible recipe. It must be here somewhere in the castle; I just have to look closely for it. Alberto took the encrypted recipe himself. (If Gorald is alive.) or Alberto thinks Gorald must have had a letter key for the incomprehensible recipe.

110	Finishes quest	Thanks to my persistence, Alberto was willing to share the recipe for the Assassin Potion with me. However, he was acting very strangely. I wonder if that means something? Well, all that matters is that I have the recipe now.
150	Finishes quest	I think Alberto is a little upset now. I doubt that he will speak again to me about a job.

Notes

• 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 random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ODDAss24Rezept stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
