Notes
- The Poison King has random reaction chances during later conversations; choosing alternatives prevents quest resets
- Song Zhi Du's bottle-making success is random; carry only required items to avoid losing extras to inventory overflow
- Dragon Castle entry requires approaching from behind; direct entry results in ejection
- This quest is excellent for Assassins wanting Poison Bottles
