Ingun practicing

Quick Walkthrough

1. Gather 20 Deathbells.
2. Gather 20 Nirnroot.
3. Gather 20 Nightshade.
4. Return them to Ingun.

Detailed Walkthrough

Ingun is a promising student of alchemy, but has a tendency to get carried away with her experiments. As such, she has almost depleted Elgrim's stock of rare ingredients. She needs you to hunt down 20 Deathbells, 20 Nirnroot, and 20 Nightshade. When you are done gathering these ingredients, bring them to her to claim your reward.

Reward

She will reward you with leveled amount of gold (listed in the table below) for each set of ingredients brought to her, as well as access to her supply chest after finding all the ingredients. The chest is found in the back of Elgrim's Elixirs, and she will restock it with 2 - 5 random leveled potions every few days.

Levels	Reward
1-9	250
10-19	400
20-29	500
30-39	600
40+	750

Notable Harvest Locations

Deathbell	Grows in the salt marshes of Hjaalmarch and Haafingar. Planted specimens can be found in the Honeyside, Alchemist's Shack gardens, Shalidor's Maze in Labyrinthian. There are also quite a few plants growing near each city's Hall of the Dead or graveyard.
Nirnroot	Grows near water anywhere. Sarethi Farm and Evergreen Grove have two notable clutches. Also on the shoreline and islands north of Solitude, anywhere from 6-9 plants. Make sure to go during the night as they give off light and are easy to find. If Dragonborn is installed, you can find several samples around the coast of Solstheim, especially in the northeast.
Nightshade	Grows in places of death. Check the cemeteries at Riften, Falkreath, and Solitude Also, Hamvir's Rest has quite a few Nightshade. If you have the Dawnguard plug-in, you can find several samples in Volkihar Keep and Volkihar Courtyard.

Notes

• Each set of ingredients can be turned in separately for reward.
• After turning in all three sets, speak to her again for a new dialogue option that will grant you the key to her restocking supply chest.
• It is possible to give the items to Ingun Black-Briar then quickly exit out of the conversation and enter the item menu then drop the items. The quest log will show "Find 20 <item name> for Ingun Black-Briar (0/20)" However as soon as Ingun Black-Briar is told "That was the last of the ingredients" the quest will update accordingly.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage FreeformRiften04 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest FreeformRiften04.
