    Wilhemina Sasse will direct you to Danu, a Grendel found in the Swamp: Gloom Realm.

    Danu will reward you with the Ritual Curio Configuration and Danu’s Cauldron recipes.

Tips
  • The Swamp: Gloom Realm may not be available early in the game. Upgrading your gear to at least 60 Gear Score and defeating the Gloom Site of Power boss is necessary to unlock its card.
  • The Refined Upgrade Bench can increase your Gear Score significantly, but requires 40 T2 Essence per upgrade. Farming Fae Towers can help acquire this essence.
  • While not strictly necessary, the spyglass is highly recommended for locating the Sun Giants in the vast Desert: Hunt Realm.
  • Ensure your companion is unequipped before approaching the Sun Giant to avoid accidentally provoking it and disrupting the trade sequence.
  • Ritual Curio Configuration recipe
  • Danu’s Cauldron recipe
  • Lunar Nectar recipe
