In act 1, you can make small progress by doing the following:

  • Head inside the house where the writing “Death to Sabs is”, with the guards by the house.
  • Head inside by climbing pinto the balcony, and head inside (it’s the same house for the Never Worn Good Deed)
  • You will find a nearly empty bottle of mead.
  • Take this to a drunk guard near the inn on the northwest side of the town. It is behind Vitalis’ House, for reference.
  • Hand over the small bottle. He will take it, but he will want more.

Now, to get more mead, you need to progress into Act 2. Complete the rest of the main storyline stuff. When you complete the Lymbic Forge for the first time, you will get a choice of what to pursue. The one you want to do is the Ecstasy one that takes you to Pathem Abbey, which is located in Acasa Marshes, alongside Jova.

Return to Acasa Marshes, you will find the APC is now in Jova rather than the main road. The map state updates and most of the guards move out of town.

  • Head over to Pathom Abbey and complete the main story area
  • When the area is clear, Abbot Jaffer flees from Jova, alongside Rebecca.
  • You can now take the APC to Lake Cynon.
  • Go to the Apiary at the far back area you can see from the cliff you enter Lake Cynon from
  • Abbot Jaffer will be on the left side of the Apiary, standing next to some full crates of Mead. You will be able to get the "Bottle of Mead - Full" iconBottle of Mead - Full from it.
  • Return to Jova and seek out the drunk soldier again by the inn. He will give you the key to enter Captain Vaas’ office.
