Withering Away Walkthrough
"Withering Away" is an important quest you need to finish on your first day in the Prologue. You have to get medicine for your mother, Esme, or she will die. Anca has the medicine, and you can find her at her house on the edge of the village. While visiting Anca, you should also complete the "Page-Turner" quest, which ties directly into Withering Away.
Both quests will cost you 3 of your 8 Time Segments for the day, but they are fully worth doing.
- Start by running around the house to open three chests and collect everything you find using Inspect in Focus Mode.
- Chop some wood and add it to the stove.
- Sit down for breakfast and try to feed Esme, but do not force her to eat.
- Pieter tells you to go to Anca's house to get medicine for Esme.
- Take sword
- Head outside and circle the house to gather every item you can find. This does not count as stealing. You need money to pay for the medicine.
- Visit Rainer in the village and choose "Sell All Junk". You should now have over 50 coins. Stop by the Blacksmith nearby while you are there, but do not buy anything.
- Discover the Laslea Center Shrine. This Fast Travel point lets you return to the village quickly.
- Walk to Anca's house and discover the Anca's Hut Shrine along the way for Fast Travel.
- Choose [Knock on the Door] at Anca's Hut. She is not home, but you can find her nearby by the river.
- Select [keep on looking] at Anca before you start talking to her.
- Walk back to the Hut with her and talk.
- Pay her 50 coins for the medicine.
- You can now start the side quest "Page-Turner". You definitely should do this. Pick [Gladly - I've missed it too.] and finish the "Page-Turner" quest.
- Check your inventory for "Instructions from Anca". This tells you how to prepare the medicine.
- Use the Fast Travel Shrines to return to the village and walk to Coen's House.
- Talk to Pieter and give him the medicine.
- Go to the stove, then choose [use hot water] and [add three spoonfuls of herbs].
- Sing a song for Esme by selecting [I'll tell you story.] and give her the medicine.
