Walkthrough

Talk to Captain Fairgraves in the Docks to start the quest.

"

Now there's a familiar face! Before you say anything... yes, I did try to kill you. Inexcusable! I allowed pragmatism to overcome honour in a moment of desperation.
Please accept my deepest apologies and... what do you say? Can the two of us make a fresh start?
Marvellous!
Now, as you've clearly noticed, the Allflame has given me another respite from oblivion. Alas, it's a partial success only. I am neither man nor spirit, living nor dead. A state that comes with some rather frustrating restrictions.
I know we've only just been reacquainted but to put no finer point on it, I... I need your help.

"

- Captain Fairgraves' intro

"

Interested are we? Oh, splendid!
In return, I have a gift or two that I may bestow upon you with a click of my translucent fingers.
All you need do is furnish me with a crystal decanter and a juicy piece of fruit, two humble items that remain agonizingly out of reach for a man in my… peculiar situation.

- Fairgraves' "A Swig of Hope" dialogue

Collect the Decanter Spiritus

"

Will you look at that: Decanter SpiritusDecanter Spiritus"Man is blinded by the mud of his corporeal self. Only
through the transformation of the material into the
spiritual can we hope to taste the full body of life."
- Malachai the Soulless. As exquisite today as when I found it all those years ago. You may fault the man, but you can’t fault his craftsmanship.

"

- After giving Decanter Spiritus to Fairgraves

Note that player can acquire Chitus' Plum and deliver it first, and then Decanter Spiritus second. However, since Decanter Spiritus can be obtained before encountering Fairgraves in Act 3, it is more effective to collect Decanter Spiritus during the storyline progression, instead of backtracking.

Collect the Chitus' Plum

Find Chitus' PlumChitus' PlumAs succulent as blood, as sweet as power. on a tree in the Imperial Gardens.

Travel to the Docks

Return to the Docks and deliver the quest items. Quest items can be delivered at the same time, or in separate interactions by acquiring them one by one.

"

Look at the sheen on that plum. Is it not the most delectable fruit that you've ever seen? No? Perhaps the gloss of hope is for my eyes only.

"

- After giving Decanter Spiritus to Fairgraves

"

Wondrous! Nothing bonds two souls more soundly than murder. For that reason alone, I knew you could be relied upon.
Now, for a little amateur vintnering. A quick squeeze of the plum like so into the decanter... oh my, look how it transmutes the juice so swiftly. From material to spectral. Effortless. And what an aroma! Imminent death never smelled so sweet. I believe I shall call this fine concoction 'the Imperial Nightcap'.
Now, before I get too carried away, there's the small matter of your recompense.

"

- after the two items are delivered

A shorter version of the latter can be replayed, before collecting the quest reward.

Upon collecting the ring, he will finally die, depends on character class, the player character will say different thing in return.

"

A toast, to swift endings and promising new beginnings. Oh, and you might want to avert your gaze once I have quaffed this diabolical brew. I doubt that my return to solidarity will be a pretty one.
Right! As I used to say in the love dens of Trarthus... bottoms up, girls!
Oh my, now that's an unusual sensation. I... oh dear... something is amiss. The Allflame, it's... no... no, no, no, it's gone out! What have I...
What are you? No... you cannot be... I will... not...
