Obtaining the Nullifying Pill in the Foul Play quest is one of the earliest and easiest ways to learn how powerful the Celestial Seize ability can be in Where Winds Meet. This ability lets you steal items, solve puzzles, and even take weapons from enemies, so learning how to use it here is important. In this guide, you will find a quick and simple walkthrough of where to start the quest, how to steal the potion using Celestial Seize, and how to finish the event to unlock the ability permanently.
How to Obtain the Nullifying Pill using Celestial Seize
Celestial Seize is a useful ability in the game that lets you pull an enemy’s weapon away and hit them with it during fights. You will also need it for several quests, special locked chests, dangerous area chests, and different puzzles throughout the game. Plus, when you use it together with Windsense, you can easily steal items from NPCs without getting caught. You can unlock this ability early in the game. You can obtain the Nullifying Pill using Celestial Seize by completing the Foul Play Quest.
Foul Play Quest


Start by travelling to Haven’s Spear. Inside this town, you will find different side quests by talking to people. The one you need is Foul Play. Mark it on your map and head to the location. When you arrive, you will see a group of people taking part in a drinking contest. Nearby, there’s a man you can talk to who will start the quest.
Obtain the Nullifying Pill

During Foul Play, you will discover that the contest host is cheating. You must steal his potion (Nullifying Pill) using the Celestial Seize ability. When the game prompts you, press the required buttons (R2 + Square on PlayStation). After you steal the potion, continue with the quest.

Then, speak to the contest host again. Now that he doesn’t have his cheating potion, you can challenge him fairly. Start the drinking contest, watch the cutscene, and finish the event. Once it’s over, talk to the character again. This will permanently unlock the Celestial Seize ability. You can equip it anytime by opening your abilities menu.
