This quest is a reference to the Dreamworks movie "The Road to El Dorado" (2000).

In the movie, the priest Tzekel-Kan is making a concoction with his underling who is brewing it. Tzekel-Kan samples it by smelling it, tosses it aside and concludes it's missing something. Upon inspecting his recipe, he realizes that it needs a little body and kicks his underling into the brew, completing it.

In order to "improve" the concoctions, you will need to click on Witch Doctors to kick them into cauldrons. The cauldrons can be found in chambers inside the structure.

One cauldron is in the south of the quest area, up the stairs.
The other one is in the north, around the corner.

Description

I am here primarily to deal with my wayward student. His followers, however, I will leave to you. I have seen a possible future dat is... concerning. Rivers running red with poison, dead filling de streets. And dese... "Jambani" asserting themselves as de new rulers of Zuldazar. Dis cannot come to pass. Fortunately for you, I know how to avoid dat fate. I think you will find their cauldrons are missing one key ingredient. <He stares at you.> Something to give it a little body, perhaps?
