Blood of Dawnwalker Anca Recipe: How Many Spoonfuls of Herbs?

The correct Anca recipe in The Blood of Dawnwalker: use hot water and add three spoonfuls of herbs to prepare Esme's medicine.

Anca Recipe Quick Answer

For Anca’s recipe in The Blood of Dawnwalker, choose:

  1. Use hot water.
  2. Add three spoonfuls of herbs.

That is the complete recipe choice for Esme’s medicine. The herb amount is three spoonfuls.

How to Prepare Esme’s Medicine

This choice appears during the Withering Away quest, when Coen prepares medicine for Esme from Anca’s recipe. You need to remember both parts of the instruction: the water temperature and the herb amount.

Step Correct Choice
Water temperature Hot water
Herbs Three spoonfuls

Pick hot water when the medicine prompt asks for the water temperature. After that, choose three spoonfuls for the herbs.

Why Players Miss Anca’s Recipe

The recipe itself is simple, but the timing makes it easy to miss. Anca gives the instruction earlier, and by the time you reach the actual medicine preparation prompt, it is easy to forget the exact water temperature or spoonful count.

Is It Boiling Water or Hot Water?

Use hot water.

Do not choose boiling water. The correct recipe calls for hot water, and selecting boiling water does not match Anca’s instruction for Esme’s medicine.

How Many Spoonfuls of Herbs?

Add three spoonfuls of herbs.

This is the easiest detail to forget after hearing Anca’s recipe earlier in the quest. If your only question is the number of spoonfuls, the answer is three.
