Grebb the Scholar

[VoiceGS]

Hey.

So I picked the yellow fish to try and he gave me a Alertness mixture and he said if I mix that with a Herbalist tool and a void tainted yellowback I would get an item.

So I found a mortar and pestle, the fish and I those two with the mixture and for some reason it says its wrong.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any help?

I combined the fish and the mixture and now I have a potent one, but Grebb just keeps saying to mix the fish with the mixture...

I tried them all with a mortar and pestle and I also get invalid.

Hey.

I found the solution to finish the quest. You need to get two other party members to taste the other fish. Then take all three mixtures to the Undertavern and taste them on the pipe in the middle of the room and then go back and talk to him again.

That should complete it.

Same here. He keep talking as if I never did anything :(

Hey.

I think I actually talked to him on my fourth companion. The one who didn't taste any fish.

Once you consume all 3 potent mixtures and get the buff you can then go back and talk to Grebb and that will complete the quest. Make sure you talk to him with all of your companions specifically not one of the original 3 that tried the fish when you first met him.

Been playing this game for a while now and this is the first time I've been frustrated. There doesn't seem to be a journal entry for this quest which is weird because we seem to log everything we do, but anyway I have all three of my characters with the potent buffs. Ran back to Grebb and talked to him with my character who's not high as a kite, and the quest does not complete. tried talking to him with my other characters and still no completion. I've reloaded from a previous save a couple of times and tried to do it again. Still no luck.

No mortar and pestle. Just simply combine the fish with the herbs. Nothing else. Just that. Combine them like you would a mushroom+empty potion bottle.

You need 3 characters to complete the quest. He will not hand out a fish to the same character more than once. Simply change who the active member of the party is and talk to him again and repeat until complete.

Axi, you may be bugged. Talking to Grebb once will give you a quest "Grebb the Scholar"
The quest isn't "but anyway I have all three of my characters with the potent buffs. Ran back to Grebb and talked to him with my character who's not high as a kite"
You simply talk to him, receive a fish, eat the fish raw.

Talk to him. Eat fish.
Change character, talk to him. Eat fish.
Change character, talk to him. Eat fish.
Done. Complete.

Actually if you have the Mask of the Shapeshifter, you can just use that instead of using different party members.

Then you have to deal with that POS mask. I only use it to consume flesh I know gives xp/abilities from previous playthrough, even then it makes me feel like pulling a Kurt Cobain.

Yea it must be a bug than. That quest is not in my journal at all but he still gave me the quest objective recipes and is telling me to go mix them.

I wasn't sure if the previous patch broke this quest but on first playthrough, I got "Grebb the Scholar". This is a quest with a journal entry and a reward upon completion (you choose 1 of 3 items).

Second playthrough, I can talk to Grebb, eat the fish, get the exp and the herbs but there is no journal entry and no item reward.

Half the quests in act 2 are buggy as hell so I'm thinking bug instead of undocumented change.

Same here.

The quest is not in my journal, but I did all Grebb asked. And yes, so much opacity and bugginess with quests. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
