Regional Activity: Valerica’s Concoction

Valerica’s Concoction*

Hunting Husks for Valerica

Once you’ve helped Valerica, claimed the Elder Scroll, and have no further critical objectives to accomplish, you can speak to her again. Among the topics of conversation, you can request her help in dealing with the crystals around these parts. The crystals in question greatly drain you and can make life difficult when you’re exploring. Valerica has spent decades perfecting an extract that increases the potency of Soul Husks. If you bring five of these Husks to her, she’d be happy to provide you with some.

You may now begin collecting Soul Husks throughout the Soul Cairn (as this is the only place where they grow). You can find them in chests or growing in clusters (shown). The largest concentration of them is in the Husk Pasture. When you have five, return to Valerica, who prepares and hands you the concoction.

Postquest Activities

Valerica continues to make Soul Husk Extract for as long as you return with Soul Husks. Once she leaves the Soul Cairn (as part of Postquest Activity: Valerica’s Return*), this option is no longer available.
