Receive the quest over at Elgrim's Elixirs, located in Riften by the north entrance.
Once inside, find Ingun Black-Briar and speak to her. Ask if she is an alchemist. Ingun will then tell the player a story that leads to this task.

Further information:
- Deathbell is quite abundant in most apothecaries (alchemy shops) around Skyrim. It can be found in some decently large amounts when dungeon crawling, if the dungeon has an Alchemy area in it.
- Solitude itself has a decently large amount of nightshade growing within the city. One is near the main gates of Solitude (in the city), Turn left after entering the gate, and look in front of the large rock (near where the beheading was upon first entering the city). Another is by the kiosks before Castle Dour (after the Stormcloak questline, look for the downed tower).
- Crimson nirnroot will work in place of nirnroot.
- 1 Nirnroot will respawn in Angeline's Aromatics, and if you complete her quest, she will let you take this every time without any trouble.
- A day's trekking on the coast north of Solitude can yield 15–20 samples of nirnroot.
Conclusion[]
The player can turn in full stack of ingredients by type or all together. Gold will be given to the player for each type of ingredients according to the character's level.
Ingun will also give the player a key for Ingun's Alchemy Chest, located in the backroom, where she will be placing random potions and ingredients. Currently, the Respawn Timer for content within this chest is every two days, every third day after taking items out, or every day if an item is placed inside.
