Tonic of Forgetfulness

Key

About this item

Tonic in a small brass vial.

Banishes distress and bitter memories.

A gift bestowed by Rykard, sworn to blasphemy, to Lady Tanith, who unfortunately had no use for it. "My Lord, there could be no greater distress than to forget you."

Before you go

• Advance Rya's conversations and the first two main manor contracts.

1. At Scenic Isle in southern Liurnia, head east toward the stone gazebo near the telescope. Speak to Rya about her stolen necklace before entering Volcano Manor, which ends this early meeting.
2. Ride northwest across the shallow lake to Boilprawn Shack. Talk to Boggart beside the cooking pot, ask for the necklace and choose Deal to open the purchase.
3. Buy Rya's Necklace for 1,000 runes. Buying it keeps Boggart alive and opens his prawn shop; purchase at least one Boiled Prawn if you want his later move and crab stock.
4. Return to Rya in the gazebo and give her the necklace. Finish her dialogue to receive Volcano Manor Invitation.
5. Reach Altus Plateau through the Grand Lift of Dectus with the medallion halves from Fort Haight and Fort Faroth, or by defeating Magma Wyrm Makar at Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Rya waits at the top of Dectus for lift arrivals, or by Lux Ruins near Erdtree-Gazing Hill for the precipice route. Speak to her and accept her hand to travel to Volcano Manor.
6. At the manor, join Tanith to receive the Drawing-Room Key. Open the room with Rya and Bernahl and collect the first Letter from Volcano Manor from the table.
7. Travel north from Warmaster's Shack on Stormhill toward the colosseum. Use the red invasion sign at the marked location to fight Old Knight Istvan. Defeat him and report to Tanith for Magma Shot.
8. Speak to Rya about the strange noises, then rest to reload the manor. Enter the room across the corridor to meet her serpent form. Finish her dialogue, speak to Tanith about her form, and return to Rya after another rest.
9. Collect the second main letter from the drawing-room table. Find Rileigh the Idle's red sign in the lower canyon leading toward Shaded Castle, north of Old Altus Tunnel. Invade and defeat him, then report to Tanith for Serpentbone Blade.
10. Speak to Rya again about the figure she saw entering the next room. Keep Rykard alive, and leave the third main target, Juno Hoslow, until after the conversations about her origins and the tonic.
11. If you have not entered the dungeon yet, speak to Tanith in Volcano Manor and accept her invitation to get the Drawing-Room Key. Open the first room on the right in the corridor. Roll into or strike the illusory wall in the back-right corner to reveal a passage. Follow it downstairs, past the snails and Bloodhound Knight, to the Prison Town Church grace.
12. Leave the church through its large doors and take the path downhill to the right. Follow the outer wall, watching for the Abductor Virgin. When the path splits at the stairs, cross the bridge toward the large building guarded by a Man-Serpent. Its front door is locked, so go around the right side to the ladder.
13. From the roof, go south and look over the western edge for the balcony with an open doorway and lantern. Drop onto it and enter the room with the Omenkiller.
14. Clear the Omenkiller, leave through the southern door and climb the ladder on the left. Follow the balcony left and drop onto the adjoining roof. Continue through the side entrance into the building and open its main door as a shortcut.
15. Go southeast down the interior stairs. At the bottom, follow the corridor into the room on the right and activate Guest Hall grace.
16. Return to the lower corridor and leave through its large northeastern door. Climb down the ladder on the right to the lava-side ground.
17. Use the solid ground and the sloping roof of the building east of you to cross toward the northeastern rooftops. Follow the rampart toward the western building, then turn southeast to the stairs guarded by a Man-Serpent.
18. At the top, use the cage lift that takes you upward toward the temple. The other lift descends toward an optional Magma Wyrm and is not the route to the Godskin Noble.
19. Pass the Blackflame Monk on the upper stairs. Before entering the temple, turn left and activate the bridge mechanism to raise the shortcut back toward Prison Town Church.
20. Enter Temple of Eiglay and defeat the Godskin Noble. Activate Temple of Eiglay grace afterward. Rykard is not required for this part of the dungeon.
21. Take Serpent's Amnion from the altar inside Temple of Eiglay. Return to Rya, tell her about the hidden dungeon if that dialogue remains, then give her the amnion and finish her conversation.
22. Rest to reload the manor. Rya leaves her room. Speak to Tanith about her absence to obtain the Tonic of Forgetfulness if you want it; taking the vial does not force you to use it.

Starting Site of Grace: Volcano Manor

1. At Scenic Isle in southern Liurnia, head east toward the stone gazebo near the telescope. Speak to Rya about her stolen necklace before entering Volcano Manor, which ends this early meeting.
2. Ride northwest across the shallow lake to Boilprawn Shack. Talk to Boggart beside the cooking pot, ask for the necklace and choose Deal to open the purchase.
3. Buy Rya's Necklace for 1,000 runes. Buying it keeps Boggart alive and opens his prawn shop; purchase at least one Boiled Prawn if you want his later move and crab stock.
4. Return to Rya in the gazebo and give her the necklace. Finish her dialogue to receive Volcano Manor Invitation.
5. Reach Altus Plateau through the Grand Lift of Dectus with the medallion halves from Fort Haight and Fort Faroth, or by defeating Magma Wyrm Makar at Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Rya waits at the top of Dectus for lift arrivals, or by Lux Ruins near Erdtree-Gazing Hill for the precipice route. Speak to her and accept her hand to travel to Volcano Manor.
6. After defeating Rykard, finish Tanith's dialogue and reload so she leaves for his arena. If you never collected the tonic from her, inspect her empty chair beside the manor entrance grace. This fallback pickup does not restore unfinished manor contracts or earlier quest conversations.

Notes

• Tanith gives this during Rya's quest. It is a dialogue item rather than a drink you use from the quick-item bar. Keeping it in your inventory does not change anyone's memories.
• Give it to Rya in her hidden room to put her to sleep and change her ending. After Rykard is dead and the manor residents have departed, she returns to the drawing room. Speak to her there and reload for Daedicar's Woe.
• For Zorayas's Letter, leave Rya alive and do not give her the tonic. Return to her hidden room after Rykard, finish her dialogue without giving it, and reload. This gives both the letter and Daedicar's Woe.
• Obtain the tonic conversation before completing Juno Hoslow's contract if you are progressing the quest normally. If Tanith has already relocated after Rykard, the uncollected tonic can instead be found on her empty chair in the manor entrance hall.
• You can also offer the tonic to Brother Corhyn during his later journey, but he refuses it. This is separate from giving it to Rya.
