There is one known minor bug. Nettlebane is acquired as part of a quest, and finding it is supposed to update that quest. For some players, however, the quest does not properly update when you receive Nettlebane, causing the quest to stall. There are several workarounds:

1) Equip Nettlebane. If this doesn’t work, trying un-equipping and then re-equipping it.
2) If the above fails, open the console and type in the command: setstage T03 30.
3) Reloading a previous save and then reclaiming Nettlebane can also work sometimes.




What are Chokeberries?
Chokeberries were an ingredient found in Oblivion, but they could only be accessed if you had the Vile Lair DLC. These berries were scripted to immediately kill any NPC that ate them. In Skyrim, Chokeberries can only be found on the bodies of Spriggans using Nettlebane. They no longer instantly kill NPCs, but they are now powerful alchemical ingredients that cause a massive amount of damage similar to the Jarrin Root encountered during the Dark brotherhood Quest line.

What are Spriggan Hearts, Wormwood and Madrake Root?
Mandrake Root and Wormwood are ingredients that were present in previous Elder Scroll games but have been left out of Skyrim. They can now be found on Spriggans. Spriggan Hearts are a new ingredient that resemble Briar Hearts. This is meant to hint at the purpose Hagravens have for sacrificing Spriggans.

How likely is it that a Spriggan will have ingredients?
The chance of each ingredient turning up in a Spriggan’ inventory is calculated independently. In theory, you could get all the ingredients at once or none, but this is extremely unlikely to the point that it’s virtually impossible.

Each common ingredient has a 25% chance of appearing in a Spriggan’s possession, and you may find 1-4 samples. For uncommon ingredients, the chance is 10%, with 1-3 possible samples. For rare ingredients, it’s 5% and 1-2. For the very rare chokeberries, there’s only a 1% chance of acquiring 1 sample. For very common ingredients, it’s 50% and 1-5.
