How to Complete Put a Spring in Thy Step

  1. Deliver Three Wildflowers
  2. Visit Gautstafr's Home
  3. Escort Gautstafr to the Hot Spring

Deliver Three Wildflowers

Dragon

Gautstafr requests that you find and give him three wildflowers. You'll most likely already have some in your inventory, as wildflowers include Syrupwort Leaf, Pitywort, Morningtide, Grandpetal, Goldthistle, and more!

Visit Gautstafr's Home

Dragon

After handing over the wildflowers to Gautstafr, he invites you to visit his home to receive your reward. Follow him to his house to get your reward and meet his wife, Cliodhna.

Enter their home and witness their conversation about going to the hot springs. Talk to Gautstafr and offer to escort him to the spring.

Get the Newt Liqueur for The Sotted Sage Quest

Dragon
Right as you step inside Windwalker's Home, you'll find the Newt Liqueur sitting on top of a table. This is used in The Sotted Sage quest.

The Sotted Sage Walkthrough and Location

Escort Gautstafr to the Hot Spring

Dragon

Escort Gautstafr safely to Geyser Hamlet. Do mind that Gautstafr walks slowly, and you'll have to protect him from monsters en route to the destination.

You can carry him all the way to the springs, but you'll need to release him to deal with some enemies along the way.

Unlock the Magick Archer Vocation

Dragon
You'll learn that Cliodhna followed you all the way to the spring to oversee your journey. She offers to teach you her knowledge and skills as the Magick Archer-Maister, unlocking the Magick Archer vocation.

Talk to Cliodhna again after the quest to receive the Spellbow's Paradox, which teaches you the Martyr's Bolt weapon skill, and to get an escort request.

How to Unlock Magick Archer and Best Skills

Unlock Dwarven Smithing

Upon completing the quest, you can now also visit Gautstafr in his home to purchase equipment and have him enhance your equipment using Dwarven smithing.

This smithing style is arguably the best since it will significantly increase your Knockdown strength and resistance
