He produces a Seal Solvent, some Climbing Rope Fiber, a Warming Tonic, a Life-sensing Potion and some Very Dark Thread.

Act 4: Nils informs Clara Soria about the survivor from House Van Tassen. She joins the plot, willing to revenge her beloved Frederick. All together they decide to have Clara seduce Taros Colvan and kill him. To get some Base Metals, Anateus proceeds to Litharge Separation.
