A Question of Self Walkthrough
Begin the Quest by speaking to Elder Oranii in Ruined Tower at the Dismal Foothills. Ask her, "Are you looking for Taissa?" It seems she came to deliver some herbs that Taissa asked for, but the latter has been acting strange. This will activate the Quest, giving you the Medicinal Herbs, and highlight your next objective location which you should already be in.
- Search Taissa's tower for clues
Interact with Taissa's Journal on the table behind Oranii.
- Find Taissa in the Hungering Swamp
The next objective location lies to the far east of the Dismal Foothills, leading to the Crimson Spoil. Place an objective marker on your map to find the fastest path to it. You'll have to enter the Dungeon the Hungering Swamp. You can find the Dungeon on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Find Tessa
Venture forward to find her. When you're near, you'll hear her yelling that the tea isn't working.
- Slay the Shades of Grief
Red ghostly Enemies will appear and you'll have to defeat them. They're nothing special so make quick work of them to open up the path and move forward.
- Check on Taissa
You'll find her lying down suffering on the floor of a hut. When you get close you'll be pushed back and be attacked by some more Enemies.
- Slay the Shades of Grief
- Destroy the Chains of Anguish
Make quick work of them. The Chains of Anguish are just immobile statues so use abilities that hit multiple Enemies at once with them in range.
- Slay the Shades of Grief
- Destroy the Chains of Anguish
Nothing new will happen on this second round so quickly dispatch of the Enemies.
- Speak with Taissa
Interact with Taissa and she'll explain that Andariel is trying to gain control of her mind. Now you can do what you initially set out to do and give her the Medicinal Herbs from Oranii.
- Speak with Taissa outside
Exit the Dungeon the way you came in. Taissa should just be to the southwest. Speak to her and ask, "What will you do now?" It seems she'll have to just ask other witches to help her as a last resort. This will complete the quest.
