— Nettie upon examining the player

Overview

Nettie can be found healing a bird inside the Druids' Chamber at the Druid Grove. Nettie is an apprentice of Halsin. She can be spoken to with Speak with Dead.

Involvement

The party will find Nettie healing an injured bird. After talking, she will reveal those birds are being sent to find her teacher, Halsin. The party can then ask Nettie to help them with the tadpole. She will then guide the party to a secret room there.

If the talking party member has been honest with her, Nettie will tell them that she has no idea how to deal with it and that it's not the first time she has heard of the True Soul. She will recommend the party to rescue Halsin because he is the only one who can know of a cure. She will give them Wyvern Poison and make them swear to drink it. Refusing the poison causes her to become hostile and attack the character/party.

If the talking party member avoids her questions, she uses a thorn branch to poison the player character, should the they not realize she is trying to trick them.. An antidote must be crafted before heading to find Halsin.
