Swallow this Concoction

Tomira’s patient (Lena) is extremely sick with blood on the brain. Mention that you “could try to help her,” before selecting this quest from your Quests Mmenu.

Finish your chat with Tomira, then bring up your Alchemy menu, scroll down through your Potions menu recipes to the one called “Swallow”, and inspect the ingredients you need.

You may not have gathered any of these ingredients yet, but it’s worth doing so, if only to understand how to brew potions. Fortunately, all three ingredients are close by:

• Find the five celandine flower bushes in the fields east and southeast of Tomira’s cottage.
• Then head to the Tavern in White Orchard, and purchase a bottle of dwarven spirit from the bar-woman for around 47 crowns. If you don’t want to spend the crowns, brew your own (but this involves finding further ingredients).
• Finally, head to any river bank, such as the area southeast of Woesong Bridge, and look for a group of drowners by the water’s edge. Slay four of them, looting their corpses for their brains.

Conclude this quest by returning to Tomira’s Cottage after brewing (combining) the dose of Swallow, letting Tomira know you have it, and receive the following for your troubles.
