The Elixir was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
A scholar, obsessed with finding a way to reverse petrification, asked Kassandra for help crafting an elixir that she believed was a cure.
Dialogue
Kassandra approached the Temple of Kybele and found a woman surrounded by wolves.
- Civilian: Back, you brutes! Back!
Kassandra defeated the wolves and spoke to the woman, who was in shock.
- Civilian: The beasts... The teeth... Too many teeth...
She composed herself and addressed Kassandra.
- Civilian: You saved me, and my work, too—a cure for the statues in the Petrified Valley.
- Kassandra: You can reverse the effects?
- Civilian: My elixir can. I mean... not yet. I'm trying to reverse the effects of petrifaction by concocting an elixir of various ingredients.
- Kassandra: Give it to me! A friend of mine was recently turned to stone.
- Civilian: I can't. I don't have all the ingredients. But... if you could get them for me, I could give you a vial of it as a reward.
(Accept – "I'll collect your ingredients.")
- Kassandra: I'll gather what you need.
- Civilian: Excellent. Now, listen closely to these ingredients: I require a cluster of bear dung mushrooms, some cone snail bile, and a bouquet of hellebore.
(If Writhing Dead is complete – "I know what's creating these statues.")
- Kassandra: Medusa was alive and causing the petrifaction. I was able to enter her lair and slay her, so there'll be no more people turned to stone.
- Civilian: Medusa... she was real? It matters not. What matters is saving the poor souls presently trapped. My elixir can save them, I know it.
(If players asked "What is a hellebore?")
- Kassandra: What is a hellebore?
- Civilian: Hellebore is a flowering plant you can find growing atop the highest mountain in Vineyard Canyon.
(If players asked "Where are the bear dung mushrooms?")
(If players asked "Where can I find cone snails?")
(Leave – "I'll go now.")
Kassandra made her way to the highest mountain in Vineyard Canyon. Ikaros spotted the plants from the air.
- Kassandra:
She scaled the mountain, slew the wolves resting atop it, and claimed the hellebore.
Kassandra made her way to the cave with the bear dung mushrooms. Ikaros found the cave.
- Kassandra:
She killed the bears within the cave and gathered the mushrooms.
Kassandra made her way to Shark Bay. Ikaros found the nesting bed of the cone snails.
- Kassandra:
She dealt with the sharks swimming around the site and gathered some of the bile.
With all of the ingredients in hand, Kassandra made her way to the scholar's workshop near the Sappho School in Mytilene, but noticed something was amiss; there were bloodied rags and what appeared to be a dead body. She inspected some notes on the nearby table.
- Kassandra: The crazy woman was investigating the Petrified Temple...
She stepped out onto the balcony and noticed several statues, along with a morbid truth.
- Kassandra: These aren't statues. There are dead bodies in there.
Kassandra played along when she finally walked up to the woman and handed over the ingredients.
- Civilian: Do you have the ingredients?
- Kassandra: I do.
- Civilian:
[two choices]
