I have already blown up the Alchemist bottle in the swamp lands..... so I can't get to talk to the zombie in the swamp lands, I mean to get the meat and feed him. Is there a way that I can get this one completed ?
Edit - I kinda figured it out. I was VERY lucky and got 2 arties from one battle. I got the Vampire ring from a chest IN battle

and the Pain Skull after killing the zombie, not too shabby imho
Question : Could someone tell me if the Pain skull is worth upgrading ( seems kinda hard to do with that -50% from mana each battle ) and also what does it give me after I have upgraded it to Death Skull ? I think I have read somewhere that it's +5 to attack and +5 to Intelligence .... but does it still take away 50% of my mana ?
