Murder in the Abbey Hints
How can I distill the soporific?
1 of 11: To distill the soporific, you're first going to need to find a tool for distillation.
2 of 11: The tool you need is called an alembic.
3 of 11: And, you will be able to find one in the abbey somewhere.
4 of 11: It's not in a hugely obvious place, but it is in a location where liquids are distilled and stored.
5 of 11: Don't think scientific distillation -- think drunken monk's ale distillation.
6 of 11: Have you visited the wine cellar lately?
7 of 11: There's a screen at the bottom of the area. And in it, you will find the alembic.
8 of 11: Hmm, it looks like there are going to be a couple of issues we need to fix. (Are there ever NOT issues?)
9 of 11: First off, the outlet neck is clearly broken, and will need to be replaced.
11 of 11: Once both of these problems are solved, and you have your finalized crock of soporific, you can simply pour it into the intake neck to create the distilled soporific.
