The Potion Seller Walkthrough: Side Quests 2

Enter Iona's Cave and proceed through the cavern until you find a stall. Talk to the Potion Seller named Markos to accept the quest.

Venture deeper into the cave to find Iona's Bloom. You will encounter enemies along the way, including regular enemies, crossbow enemies, and heavy-armored enemies. Utilize cover and dodge mechanics to defeat them.

After dealing with the initial enemies, climb the vines and ladders to reach a new section of the cave. Be prepared for more enemy packs, including bruiser-type enemies.

Locate the Cerim Whisp. To reach it, climb the root along the cavern wall. You may need to kill two guards before proceeding.

Interact with Iona's Bloom. This will open up new paths.

Escaping with Iona's Bloom: Follow the track back. New, previously invisible paths will appear. Look for missable chests containing items like Chipped Coal, Blade Oil, Fallen Ember, Chipped Quartz, Small Vial of Focus, leather scraps, and jute.

To progress, return to the ramp where guards previously stood near the Cerim Whisp. Drop down and follow the pathway back to the scaffolding area.

Continue along the new pathways to ledges that were previously inaccessible. Climb a vine to the next stage of the cave.

You will enter a 'gauntlet' area with archers and fire mages. Sprint and dodge their attacks.

Navigate through the cave, onto a mushroom path, and across vines. Be aware of armored enemies guarding platforms. You can fight them or use parkour to bypass them.

Continue through another gauntlet, managing stamina and dodging ranged attacks from archers and fire mages.

Reach the final section, which contains a large treant enemy. This enemy has long-range swipes, consecutive strike attacks, and a close-range grab. Using scrap bombs can make this fight more manageable.
