The Blighted Beaker is a side quest available at the Wild Willows Manor in the Crow's Nest district of Aleroth during the events of Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance.
Quick Walkthrough[]
- Complete the quest Bark up the Right Tree
- Accept the quest Herbal Medicine from Heleon
- Speak with Najaad at Wild Willows Manor
- Complete the quest Bartender
- Take Queen Ormhildr's Cup to Gula's Archaeological Dig
- Place the cup on pedestal
- Return to Najaad
Detailed Walkthrough[]
After giving Najaad a drink to quench his thirst for the quest Bartender, enter the room directly north of his cell and loot the Troll Cell Key from the necromancer's corpse to free him. Asking why he doesn't leave his cell begins this quest - it seems that he is really a goblin cursed by a golden cup, and is too afraid of being re-captured or killed if spotted in Aleroth as a troll.

Cup on the altar
If you have not been to Gula's Archaeological Dig yet, note that:
- You will need to obtain the key from Heleon on Lanilor Lane to unlock the dig site.
- You can progress this quest, plus Fat Chance / Herbal Medicine / A Fraud a Day... simultaneously when inside.
- You will need to smash the urns/crates at the bottom of the curved staircase to find a Troll Door Key ("3" on map below).
The entrance to Gula's Archaeological Dig is near the Mardaneus Plaza district's waypoint shrine. If you've been here before, be aware that the level 36 undead creatures within respawn so you will need to slaughter them again. Descend the stairs and follow the passage west, entering a large room at the end. Place Queen Ormhildr's Cup on her pedestal near the southwest corner of the room ("9" on map below).
Najaad[]
Return to Najaad's cell at the Wild Willows Manor to discover that he has return to his normal goblin self. He thanks you for your help (you can mindread him for 7500 exp during this conversation to be scolded by Behrlihn for helping "cannon fodder") before leaving the asylum.
