What to do
Description
We think that we have a use for the merciless ones that your friend from the cave delivered to us. But I need a preservative for it. Down below in the Scalding Chasm are some mushrooms with the properties that I need. Bring some back up to me and I'll see what I can do.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Totem
You must take my totem down into the Scalding Chasm. Use it to capture the energies of the faceless as they die. The totem will keep them from returning from whence they came. When the totem is full, bring it back to me and we will use it to lure their leader up from deep down below.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- ... It Will Come
I now imbue you with the energies of the corrupting faceless. Swim down to my luring totem in the trench to the northeast. Release the energies through it. Bring back the brain of their leader. Call forth to Ick'thys the Unfathomable... it will come!
