In-Game Description[]
the weird sisters gave me a formula for brewing something that will turn the space god people's poison into an "eye opener," i'll need to make it before i go there.
i really shouldn't go in there guns blazing. this is a mission of mercy
all right, where's the poison they're going to drink? and who's that creepy man preaching?
nimue said this would be a "bit of an eye-opener." lets hope so. she's never been wrong before.
what happens now? i'll hide and see
the Weirds Sisters will want to know what happened. and i still need their herbal recipes
bloody brilliant. wish i could give it to the entire bloody town.
Walkthrough[]
The player will have to craft the Digitalax Antidote before going to the Gardner House, once done, head to the mansion and interact with the door. The player does not need to eat any Histoplasma Mushrooms beforehand.
The player will have to enter through the window by the front door in order to get into the mansion. Inside the house, the player should notice the massive amount of tripwires, touching these wires will cause darts to fly in that general direction and cause massive damage to the player.
To avoid this, throw glass bottles, bricks, rocks, or any other throwable item at the wires to activate the dart trap, then pass by when it's all been taken care of. Sometimes, the player will have to hide away into a room to avoid getting hit.
At the other end of the house, where there seems to be nowhere to go, climb up on the nearby crates and the on the destroyed flooring above. Now exit through the window to the left and manouver through the scaffolding, eventually reaching another window on the other side. Here, the player will have to make it across the hallway and down the stairs, where the cauldron of poison is.
From here, the player will have to interact with the cauldron to add the antidote, then hide under the stairs.
A cutscene will begin where the people of the cult enter the ballroom to drink of the poison, however, instead of immediately dying which was the plan, they instead see that life has more to it than what they originally thought, and abandon their leader.
As Sally reveals herself to the leader, he gets angry at her for disrupting their event, and begins to attack her. The player has the option to fight back or simply run away and report back to the Weird Sisters.
When the player is back on the Witches' hill, they'll be happy to know that Sally stopped the mass suicide from happening.
Satisfied with what Sally have done for them, the witches bestow upon Sally their Butterfly Net to use for catching butterflies, which will be used to craft Pheromone.
The quest ends after the cutscene ends.

Transcript[]
Cultist Ramble[]
This is our test of faith, my friends. We hate this world, we all hate this world. We hate living in this flesh bag, not knowing our Higher Purpose. But... do we hate it enough? Anyone can say, sure, I hate living in a flesh bag. But then you say to them, "Well, don't, then." And they're scared. They're scared to jump. What if the Pickup Vehicle is not really in orbit? What if there is no Pickup Vehicle?
That's why you need to hate, really hate the flesh bag. You have to be willing to not living in it, without any solid confirmation that the Pickup Vehicle is there. Does this seem strange to you? It shouldn't. Jesus Christ said, "For whoever will save his life shall lose it," Matthew 16. The Hindus seek moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth. They all ask us to embrace the next world and to joyfully give up this world.
Because, of course, there is a Pickup Vehicle. I've been on it. I've talked to the Transcended, both humans and aliens. Trust me, I would have been happy to stay up there. But if I had, I couldn't have told you the good news. I'm not talking about martyrdom. No one's talking about martyrdom. Okay, what I'm talking about might look like martyrdom to the cowans. I'm talking about leaving the flesh bag behind. Throwing it overboard. How can you float up to a Pickup Vehicle if you're weighed down by a bag? You can't. It's ballast. We have to leave the flesh bag and be our soul, be only our soul.
This is not suicide. Suicide is giving up. This is taking a leap of faith. We have to have faith that the Transcended will catch us. There's no punishment, except how you're already being punished. There's no retribution, unless you already feel like you're being retributed. You just can't ascend, you don't Transcend. And sooner or later, but probably sooner, the way things are going, your flesh bag dies.
Let's go, let's get those cups out to everyone who wants some.
The Transcendence[]
Ransom: We're going to start handing out the cups now. Don't worry, there's enough for everyone, more than enough. But don't sip it, or you might feel sick for a bit. A little might make you queasy. A full cup and you won't feel a thing. You'll just wake up in a little while, feeling no pain, feeling no gravity, looking down at the Earth from the Pickup Vehicle. And then you'll get to meet everybody up there.
Woman: Hands are ... really beautiful ... aren't they? They're like ... God's hands.
Man: I'd never noticed all the colours. Is this heaven?
Woman: Life's so... short ... you know?
Man: This place is ... bad. It's a bad place.
Woman: Why did you want us to die? Why?
Woman: It's because you want to die, isn't it? You just wanted company.
Man: Let's get out of here.
Man: We're leaving! You can kill yourself if you like!
Ransom: Wait! Don't go! You'll miss the Pickup Vehicle. You'll all miss the Pickup Vehicle!
The Reveal[]
Sally: You sick, dying bastard!
Ransom: What are you doing? These people are trying to get to a higher plane of existence!
Sally: Are you mad, or are you just a swindler who's convinced himself? I don't think I care.
Ransom: Prove it's not true! You can't! You might as well try to prove that God doesn't exist!
Sally: I think Wellington Wells is pretty good proof of that!
Ransom: Get out! Meddler!
Ransom: Heathen!
Weird Sisters[]
Vivienne: You stopped them!
Sally: How do you know that? Magic?
Nimue: We can see it in your face.
Sally: They weren't very happy with me.
Morgause: You took away their sense of purpose.
Sally: I couldn't let them do it.
Nimue: What your mother did. Do you worry that you have that in you?
Sally: All the time.
Morgause: To be a mother is to worry.
Vivienne: You have worlds within you. Only some are death.
Nimue: Here, the recipes you need to replace the blackberry Joy.
Morgause: You'll need red owl butterflies. Opsiphanes cassiae. They're hard to find, but they're all of the train station.
Vivienne: You can use our old butterfly net!
Sally: Thank you.
Sally: Oh perfect. Ollie Starkey lives there... who knows if he remembers me.
Nimue: Well, then.
Morgause: Blessed be.
Vivienne: Blessed be.
Nimue: Blessed be.
