Step 1: Blow the Calmonica in Wisptrail
- Use the Calmonica in Wisptrail to summon Paige Turner via autochat.
Paige: That’s the one! Now we can get to Frogmarsh and the Dreadwaters gate. Meet me there when ready. If you go to Copperpot first, be warned — folk there are moody. That’s the problem I want your help with. See you in Frogmarsh… just go up, then straight up again!
---
Step 2: Speak to Paige at the Dreadwaters Gate
Paige: Glad you made it. These marshes can be tricksy. Now then, to the task at hand.
We need your help. I never used to feel like this — so full of bad thoughts. It’s as though something has entered the very water of Woemarsh.
I believe the source lies beyond this gate. Please help us. I was told *you* could.
Here — this book may help. When you have what’s needed, meet me back here.

Book Summary: The Unwell
A Fae named **Miffin Muffin** once discovered a cursed well in a swamp, filled with poisoned water that turned drinkers violent and hateful. He fetched **pure spring water** from **Tir Na Nog** and poured it into the well, cleansing it. However, he vanished shortly after — last seen bumping into **Daddy Long Legs**.
- Task Added: *Get magical water*
* Description: Go to the fountain in the north of Tir Na Nog and collect the liquid. You will need a container.
---
Step 3: Retrieve Magical Water
- Head to the **northernmost point** of Tir Na Nog.
- Interact with the spring fountain using a container to collect the magical water.
---
Step 4: Return to Paige
- Bring the water back to Paige Turner at the Dreadwaters gate.
Paige: You have the means to cleanse the Unwell? Then I shall open the gate.
But be warned. You are entering **Dreadwaters**. Avoid **HIM** at all costs. The candles we placed keep HIM contained. If HE catches you, you will die — instantly.
There may be ways to buy time, but I don’t know them. Be careful.
- Task Updated: *Cleanse the Unwell*
* Description: Take the magical water into Dreadwaters and find the cursed well. You **do not** need to equip the item. Beware: If the inhabitant catches you, it's instant death and Mr Fairweather will revive you.

Step 5: Enter Dreadwaters
- You must be in the region **after 7pm** to proceed.
Objectives:
- Stand on **3 switches** hidden throughout the region.
Each must be stood on for a few seconds.
- **Daddy Long Legs** appears in a cutscene when you enter the top section.
- Avoid him while activating all three switches.
Once all are triggered:
- The tomb at the top of the area unlocks.
- Inside, you are safe from pursuit.
---
Step 6: Cleanse the Unwell
- Inside the tomb, interact with the cursed well to pour in the magical water.
- A cutscene plays, and you fade to black.
---
Step 7: Return to Paige
- You reappear outside with Paige at the gate.
Paige: You did it! Already I feel so much better — like a huge weight has lifted.
Goddesses bless you. Take this book — it tells you more about us Woemarsh folk. You may find it insightful. Oh, joyous day!
