Waterspeaker Gorai might not put his staff down into the dirt. And you dont get the step "Dead Inkgill Laid to Rest" before the animation works perfectly. So NOTE that this quest currently might bugg out!

What to do
Description
From the moment I first rose from the river, I knew I was destined to be Waterspeaker. I was taught many rituals, and have performed all of them, save one. There was one, an extremely ancient one, that we were told to call upon if our people ever turned against us. This must have happened in our people's distant past, because we haven't needed to use it in our village's memory. I suppose now is the time to do so.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Free the Dissenters
Not all of my fellow villagers from Inkgill are corrupted. Many heeded my warnings and did not drink of the sha-tainted waters. They are in hiding, terrified, and intimidated by the guards. Please, tell them there is hope! Go into the village to the north. Speak with them and send them to me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cleansing the Mere
Pools of the same murky substance that came out of Mei emerged in the lake recently. I will travel into the Mere with you. Point out the pools of corruption that you are ready for me to cleanse. You will need to deal with whatever comes out and protect me as I complete the ritual.
