This guide will walk you through where to find each creature and how to complete the quest step by step.
Abberant Minds Quest


In the side quest Aberrant Minds, your goal is to help a researcher named Alma by collecting samples from three unusual creatures. You will find Alma in Phaidros’ Lab in Cuanacht. Talk to her and she will explain that she is missing some important specimens for her research and asks for your help in finding them.
She needs the brains of three rare beings: a Nuckelavee, a human infected with the Red Death, and a villager affected by the Wyrdness. She promises to reward you for each of the three brains, as long as they are in good condition.
