How to prepare Anca's recipe in The Blood of Dawnwalker
Overview & Key Takeaways
Fix your mother's medicine with the right steps.
During Blood of Dawnwalker's main prologue quest, Withering Away, you'll have toprepare Anca's recipe into a medicine for your mother's anxiety, helping her overcome her fear to attend the Blood Mass that evening.
