The Sick Child


If you found yourself in Bowerstone South and this little girl comes runnin' up to ye asking you to help who then leads you to this woman who is concerned about her son who is rolling around on the floor, muttering about the sky lookin' beautiful and 'is body feelin' unearthly, then you more than likely picked up The Sick Child quest.



Head to the Bowerstone Quay where you will talk to a Witch who says she can brew you an antidote if you find her 4 Blue Mushrooms.



Head to Barrow Fields from here.
Blue Mushroom #1


Talk to a trader in Barrow Fields, the zone just before Oakvale. He will tell you of two other Blue Mushroom locations and will ask for 1,500 gold for the Mushroom. You can either pay him the 1,500G or steal the Mushroom. Stealing the Mushroom incurs a fine, but it's cheaper than the 1,500G price.

From here, head to the Guild Woods. You'll need to Teleport to the Heroes Guild to get there.
Blue Mushroom #2
The trader in Barrow Fields told you of two other Mushroom locations, there was one sold to a man throwing a party in the Guild Woods, and another given to a distraught woman in the Picnic Area (where you fought the Wasp Queen.)

Head to the Guild Woods and talk to Cyril.


(Cyril would've been here, but I had already progressed. I will update on my next playthrough.)

He will lead you down a bread crumb quest to obtain the Blue Mushroom. He sends you to Oakvale to give a letter to Myra, whom he has fallen madly in love with. You have the option of sabotaging his relationship, however, and this will break his heart and award you evil points. She will ask if the letter is from you or not, if you want to be good say no.


(As you can see, she's walking away. She would've been standing next to the well.)

She will then ask you to give her reply to Cyril and Cyril will award you with the Blue Mushroom after he reads the reply as he'll "no longer need to intoxicate himself."

From here, head to the Demon Door just beyond the Will Training area in the Heroes Guild.
Blue Mushroom #3
All you have to do is fish from that little ripple next to the stepping stones to the Demon Door! (If you haven't opened this Demon Door, he asks that you "Illuminate your path" - turn on your lamp and he'll pop open.)



If you don't have a Fishing Rod (because you're still working on the storyline) head to Fisher Creek from the Greatwood Lake region (it'll be the Northern most portal on your minimap.) And rescue the Fisherman from a horde of Wasps. (I say Horde, but it's half a dozen Wasps.)

After that he'll award you free entry to the Fishing Competition and give you a Fishing Rod he made 'imself.

From here, head to the Picnic Area! (You're almost done!)
Blue Mushroom #4
After obtaining the third Blue Mushroom from a ripple infront of the Guild's Demon Door, you'll want to head to the Picnic Area where you'll be met by this annoying little woman who was told that if she ate the mushroom, she'd have her knickers blown off. Unfortunately, she wasn't all that impressed.


(She'd have been standing there, but like I said, I progressed.)

This one is rather simple, just use the Giggle expression 3 times and she'll give you what she didn't eat of the Blue Mushroom.
Finale (Ding Dong!)
From the Picnic Area, use your Guild Seal and port to Bowerstone South and back to Bowerstone Quay.



The Witch will be waiting by her Cauldron this time, talk to her and give her the mushrooms.



She'll talk and say "oh, what do you know? I've got some of the potion already. Mind like a siev, I tell ya."



Head on back to the woman who sent you to her.



She'll whistle at you and you'll have finished the quest and learn that she won't join anymore witch burning mobs.

9/13/14: I'll add a video when I do my second playthrough as well as update all screenshots that need to be updated.

For Mushroom #1, you can also take the guild quest to kill all the traders and guards in that area. Afterwards, you can just take the mushroom and there is no guard to fine you.

I forgot this quest needed to be done before a certain point in the main storyline or you won't be able to complete it.

@Roobik Just sit through the credits at the end of the game and you will be able to finish any side quests you want to finish

I finished the main story line when I was only half way through this quest :(. Now I can't finish it.
