I think you need red-tear pepper, look in the recipe list again, I'm not sure but check I remember you need red-tear pepper for something in the swamp. You can buy it from Zuris in Khorinis.

I think you need red-tear pepper(or something like that), look in the recipe list again, I'm not sure but check I remember you need red-tear pepper for something in the swamp.

yep, you need red tear pepper for that mind potion, you can buy red tear pepper in city of khorinis at that zuris (potion merchant) or at other alchemists/merchants in khorinis. it cost 100 gold it looks like a bag of gold (or apple tobacco)

You must also learn how to extract the secretion from the bloodfly stinger,If you have not learned it then your potion will kill Fortuno.

you can buy one from sagita too, to make two potions you can drink one yourself just for extra EXP in later chapters it grants more EXP in chapter 5 it gives + 1000 EXP or 1200 im not 100% sure, and btw you can learn for free the stinger secretion by going to the castle in VoM and getting there a letter and reading it will teach you how to use those poisonous stingers it can then refresh your health to max but after some time of use your body becomes numbs and the effect stops... so i read from this letter.

Here's some detailed info:

"Mental Meanders" Quest
---------------------------
Fortuno's mind is going crazy, and he needs your help. When you offer to help,
he tells you something about a 'green novice'. If you have some swampweed cigs
on you, you can offer that, which he'll smoke and say isn't what he needs.
Look in the chest next to him labled 'Fortuno's Chest' and take the recipe for
a Green Novice from it.

Now that you have the recipe, read it so you know what is needed and to be
able to select it when you use an alchemist's bench. You'll need two swampweed
plants and one meadow knotweed. Roll the reefer at an alchemist's bench. You
can smoke them yourself for +10 EXP, but it's not worth it. Take the Green
Novice back to Fortuno for +250 EXP.

Fortuno's mind will no longer be tormenting him, but when you ask him what he
can recall, he can't remember anything. Looks like there's still some more to
be done. Talk to Miguel, the herbalist and potion-brewer just outside the camp
in the swamp. Ask him what he knows about mind-altering potions (since he was
initially thrown in the barrier for this sort of thing) and he will provide
you with a recipe for a Mind-Restoration potion. He warns you that it can be
fatal if ingredients are improperly used, and to be extra cautious.

You'll need two secretions from bloodfly stingers, one mana extract, one essan-
ce of healing, and one red tear pepper for the potion. You can learn how to
take the secretion from bloodfly stingers from Edgor (cost of 100g and 5 LP),
or, learn it for free from a note in the castle in the Valley of Mines in the
building that Garond is in. The red tear pepper can be bought from Zuris in
Khorinis for 100g, as well as a few other obscure vendors.

Once you've made the potion, give it to Fortuno for +250 EXP. Continue to ask
how he's doing after the potion for another +250 EXP. His memory has been
restored, and he tells you about the fall of the barrier and how everyone went
crazy. He was taken in by Raven to help decipher runes and such, but once Raven
had gotten all he needed out of Fortuno, he slipped memory-wiping drugs into
Fortuno's appetite and thus caused him to lose his memory. Raven is apparently
trying to get into the Temple of Adanos and has desecrated the shrine of a
deceased warrior in order to gain access to the temple.

Fortuno will now buy swampweed plants from you for +10g and +100 EXP per plant.
