Captain Sims’ Approach
If you choose to side with Captain Sims, head to Wyndham Village and visit the Village Hall. Speak to Captain Grant Sims, who will task you with investigating The Bakery. Once assigned, you can confront Iris.
Helping Iris
Step 1: Visit Wyndham Garage

Travel to Wyndham Garage at map coordinates 35.5 E, 79.2 N. Inside, near a car, you’ll find a table with a note and a key to The Bakery’s bedroom. While you can collect the key, opening the bedroom door on The Bakery’s first floor will trigger an attack from Iris' infected husband. If you retaliate, Iris will turn hostile, preventing quest progression. It’s best to avoid opening the door.
The note you find will confirm that Iris’ husband is seriously ill.

Step 2: Speak to Iris at The Bakery

To obtain the tonic, you must first learn the recipe. You can either head straight to the recipe location or follow the full narrative path below.
Step 3: Visit Mother Jago

Mother Jago resides in Casterfell Woods, in the Old Mine (map coordinates 27.2 E, 92.2 N). Speak to her, and she will ask you to retrieve her herbalism book, which the Druids have stolen and hidden in their castle. Near the book, you will also find the Strange Tonic recipe.
