Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon features a quest called Pain Relief, where players must resolve a bitter feud between Keeper Lanzo and the local physician, Jann Heber. To free Lanzo of his toothache, you’ll need to trick Heber into revealing the recipe and then gather the necessary ingredients to brew it yourself. This guide will show you exactly which dialogue prompts to choose during your conversation with Heber, and how to locate all three ingredients for the secret recipe!
Talk with Keeper Lanzo
You can find Keeper Lanzo, in the castle at Horns of the South. He’ll be standing next to a door in this location in the courtyard when you enter the castle. Once you start talking with him, he’ll start complaining about the healer, how he’s a fraud and likes to watch people suffer. If you’re not interested in exploring other dialogue options, you can just select the ‘That’s a serious accusation‘ prompt and move on with the conversation.
Apparently, Lanzo had gone to the healer with a toothache, and Heber called his teeth rotten and suggested that he have them pulled out. Select ‘Sounds painful, I wouldn’t want that either‘. After a bit more talking, we’ll learn that Heber has Lanzo’s grandmother’s recipe for curing toothaches.
Upon finishing the conversation, the Pain Relief quest will have started. Head inside the door behind Lanzo and talk with Heber. During the conversation, select the prompts as follows:
- “There’s a keeper with a toothache complaining that you don’t want to help him”
- “He said something about a remedy?”
- “Could I have the recipe?”
- “Oh, so it’s based on the moonshine?”
- “Potentially dangerous ingredients? Like what?”
- “So if I combine moonshine, carnation, and sage, I’ll get the recipe?”
This string of prompts will trick him into revealing the ingredients of the secret recipe, then head back to the courtyard.
Finding The Ingredients
Once you’re back in the courtyard, head left from Lanzo. You’ll see a wheel on the ground, propped up against the wall. To the left of the wheel, you can find your first ingredient, the Sage.
For your second ingredient, head back to where you came from just before meeting Lanzo, and take a right towards the section with a tree in the centre. Circle the base of the tree until you find Carnation.
Head back to Lanzo. You’ll spot a well in front of him, towards the south of the well is the Kitchen. Enter the kitchen and go behind the counter to steal the Ale from the shelf by hiding from the bartender.
Making The Cure
Head back to Heber’s place and use the Alchemy Station to craft the Toothache Remedy. This remedy is also a good item to keep for ourselves, as it restores 80 health!
Go back to Lanzo and give him the remedy. As a token of his appreciation, he’ll give you the Menhir Figure which grants +5 Max health. You have completed the ‘Pain Relief’ quest!
