Toasting the Dead is a quest in Beast of Winter.
Synopsis[ | ]
Nyvardir, the self-appointed brewmaster of Harbingers' Watch, asked my help in perfecting his recipe for rymsjódda, a lager prized by pale elves for the fortification it provides against chills. Nyvardir believes that a simple addition could make his beer even more effective at staving off the cold.
Walkthrough[ | ]
The antifreeze is located in Temple of Decline (west wing of the Rimebound Temple). Go directly east when you enter the temple. Kill the enemies and inspect the pile of automatas.
Your reward depends on your dialogue options when returning to Nyvardir:
- Give him the fluid without warning → Finality's Claim
- Give him the fluid, and warn that it's "highly toxic" → Nothing
- Say you can't give him the fluid, it's "ridiculously toxic", or discuss the matter of payment
- Destroy the fluid → Nothing
- Take the enchanted ring → Finality's Claim
- Take the coin →
4,000 - With Diplomacy 16, ask for both →
4,000 and Finality's Claim - With Diplomacy 14, ask for double the coin → 8,000
Collecting more fluid results in a couple of lines of unique dialogue, but does not yield more rewards or change any of the conditions of receiving the above rewards.
If you give him the antifreeze fluid he will promptly mix it in his brew and serve it to another Harbinger, killing him.
If you destroy the fluid after receiving a reward (Shady), Nyvardir will become hostile. Attacking or killing Nyvardir does not cause the NPCs to become hostile, unless Vatnir is in the party; in that case, both Vatnir and all the NPCs in Harbingers' Watch will become hostile.

| 1 | Harvest fluid from rime constructs. | |
| 10001 | Rime constructs contain a fluid that prevents them from freezing solid at low temperatures.
Believing that it will have a similar effect on kith who imbibe it, Nyvardir requested as much rime construct fluid as I could find. Rime constructs have been seen deep within the Dead Floe. | |
| 3 | Return to Nyvardir with the fluid. | |
| 10003 | I've harvested some of the fluid Nyvardir asked for, but it seems extraordinarily dangerous to drink. Still, he seemed eager to get as much of the liquid as I could find. | |

| 10002 | I am unsure if this weird substance is what the brew master wanted me to collect. I should take a closer look at it. | |
