In Winter Ember, you play Arthur Artorias on a quest to seek vengeance for the murder of his family. Along the way, you will encounter various side quests that can earn you some extra gold or items. One of these is the Poison the Well quest. This may leave you wondering how to complete the Poison the Well quest in Winter Ember.
To initiate this quest, you must speak to the couple being evicted from their home in Midgown. They will inform you that the Greater Heaven are claiming that ghosts and a curse have afflicted their home, and they must leave. Having their suspicions of the truth of this, they enlist Arthur to investigate the matter.
Where to find clues for the Poison the Well quest in Winter Ember
There are three buildings that you can search for clues for this quest—but watch out for Great Heaven soldiers. Only the building on the left contains a clue. The red star marks the location for this clue. It contains a letter detailing a missing child and suspicious activity under the well. You can search the other houses for loot to sell later.
How to get beneath the well in Winter Ember
After finding the letter, you need to make your way beneath the well. To do so, head to the point marked by the yellow star. There are several Greater Heaven soldiers in this area, so either stealth around the more eliminate them. At the end of the well, you find the missing child’s body with a note.
The note details that the Great Heaven were pouring a chemical, Communion, into the river. This is the cause of the poison and illness affecting the people, and his body is the source of the smell. Leave the well and make your way up the river bank.
You need to eliminate the Greater Heaven soldiers pouring Communion into the river. Once you have done so, stop the barrels from pouring the drug. Then, proceed to the warehouse and set fire to it with fire arrows. After this, exit the warehouse and return to the couple to collect a skill token.
