Walkthrough of the quest “The Case of the Alchemist's Workbench”
How to start
The quest does not require any conditions to start it. This quest is not marked with a blue exclamation mark on the map, so it can be quite difficult to find – from the teleporter in front of the entrance to the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, turn left, there, just below the main area, next to the pen with yumkasavrs, there is a lonely workbench. Interact with it to start a cutscene and open the quest.
The workbench we found turns out to be very strange, and Paimon and the Traveler refuse to use it. A girl approaches us, uses the workbench to create a pep potion, and then challenges us to a Friendly Match.
Fight Sumac
Sumac wants to try the potion, so he invites us to an empty area near the Stadium of the Holy Flame. We engage the girl in combat, but she suddenly becomes ill, after which we return her to the Stadium to get help.
Ask Sumac about the situation
We are worried about our new acquaintance and try to find out as many details about what happened as possible. The girl tells us that she bought the recipe for this potion from a famous merchant. The protagonist suspects the seller of fraud, but Sumac reassures him, stating that he has the ability to see through people, and this merchant is not to blame for her illness. Instead, suspicion falls on the strange alchemical workbench, which we were afraid to use earlier.
The doctor who helped Sumac overhears our conversation and tells us that the girl was not the first victim of a magical item. Then Hampek tells us about the struggle between two factions, the Eagle's Feather and the Grasshoppers, who were working in the rear. A race was supposed to take place between them to determine which faction would get the opportunity to control the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, but by a strange coincidence, shortly before that, several members of the Eagle's Feather faction suffered from faulty alchemical workbenches. Worried about this, Hampek asks Sumac to rest at the stadium, and asks us to help him collect evidence.
Go to the training ground and collect the readings
Once we get to the faction training grounds, we will need to find Ogun and question him.
Ask Ogun
Ogun is not happy with the stranger, but says that he is willing to share information if we prove our strength to him and pass the test. To do this, we will need to turn into a tepetlizaur and destroy 15 unstable phlogiston crystals in a limited time.
After successfully completing the test, we will receive a regular chest, after which Ogun will describe in detail what happened to it. Its readings can be opened and viewed in the inventory.
Talk to Pampa
Pampa, another member of the Eagle's Feather faction, heard the entire conversation and was willing to share the information, but made a strange demand – the traveler must pass a test in order to teach Pampa his craft.
We turn into a yumkasaurus, collect pyro particles for a while. For this we get a regular chest and return to Pampa to listen to his flowery story, which Hampek will record, and we will get another item in the inventory.
After this, Hampek will ask us to step aside to introduce us to a concerned member of the Grasshopper faction, who is willing to share information about the purchase to help us in the investigation.
Go to the Folk of the Springs and find Anela
Now we must find another injured member of the faction. Anela is located near the teleporter, we approach her and start a dialogue. The girl will be very hostile to Hampek and will refuse to testify, but seeing the Traveler and Paimon, she will change her anger to mercy.
Here we are faced with another test, to get information we turn into a coholosaurus and collect particles for a while. We get another ordinary chest and readings, which contain a lot of criticism of the “Eagle's Feather”.
Return to the Sacred Flame Stadium
We return to Sumac, who has gotten better, and tell her everything. Hampek says that he needs to pass on the information he has collected to the House of Councilors and asks to wait two days before making a decision.
Go to the training grounds in two days
We come to the already familiar training ground, where we see a large number of people, most of them belong to the Eagle's Feather faction, from the Grasshoppers there are only two – the head of the faction Itzkuin and the already familiar Tozan. A cutscene begins. Tenehua, a judge sent by the House of Councilors to resolve the conflict, listens to Hampek's testimony, however, his testimony is not enough for a full-fledged accusation, and Itzkuin denies guilt, insisting on the cohesion of the faction, although he is ready to compensate for the damage. The situation is getting more and more confusing, Hampek provides the judge with invoices of purchases and a strange photo.
Give the invoice to the judge
We give Tenehua the invoice. Desperate, Hampek offers to reveal the name of the mysterious assistant from the Grasshopper faction on the condition of his further immunity, but Tozan suddenly denies his guilt, moreover, he has an alibi, which is confirmed by the judge himself. Itzcuin accuses Hampek of the show and deception that he staged in order to discredit the Grasshoppers.
The man's authority falls, his comrades turn away from him, but suddenly the caring Sumac, who understands people well, comes to the rescue. She declares that neither Hampek nor Itzkuin are lying and act with the best intentions, which cannot be said about Tozan, whom the girl calls a liar. The traveler suspects that he has a double, but the judge stops the process and asks Hampek and Itzkuin to go with him to the House of Councilors.
Everyone leaves. Sumac encourages us and hints that we should follow Tozan.
Follow Tozan
We are teleported to the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, where we find a cave. A cutscene begins. We learn that Tozan has a twin, Tlalepa, who no one knows about. For some reason, they decided to harm both factions, Tlalepa asks us to keep quiet about this, but the Traveler refuses to turn a blind eye to this incident.
The brothers attack us, after defeating them, we lock them in cages.
Go to the Sacred Flame Stadium and talk to the judge
We find Tenehua not far from the Chamber of Councilors and tell him everything. The judge says that he will begin an investigation, after which the quest ends. We receive 250 Adventure EXP, 30 Primogems, 20,000 Mora, 2 Hero EXP, 3 Magic Ore buff and the “Ogo! “What a twist!” which gives 5 more Primogems.
