The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Find 20 [deathbell, nightshade, nirnroot] for Ingun Black-Briar.
1 of 4: Go to Riften and talk to Ingun Black-Briar either in Black-Briar Manor or the Elgrim's Elixirs store. Ask if she's an alchemist, then ask what ingredients she needs and agree to get them for her.
2 of 4: You'll need to get her 20 deathbell, 20 nightshade, and 20 nirnroots in all. Note that you can turn in a set of 20 ingredients by itself, without having to have all three sets at once.
3 of 4: Each time you turn in a set of ingredients, Ingun will give you some gold. After you turn in all three sets of ingredients, say that was the last of the ingredients to get a key to Ingun's special alchemy chest.
4 of 4: You'll find it in the back corner of the back room in the Elgrim's Elixirs store. Loot it, then check back every time you visit Riften to see if it's been refilled.
