Description
One of de most sacred plants on dis island is anchor weed. Legend says dat it was a gift from de Loa and it can do anything from regrow limbs to granting immortality.

Look for it deep within the Waycrest Manor. Dey ask dat in exchange for dis knowledge, you kill whatever is causing a rift in de spirit world.
