To cure Isaac in The Forge, bring him the first-tier health potion sold by Maria in Stonewake’s Cross. The guides call it either Health Potion I or Recover I; choose the basic potion, not a higher-tier one. Isaac is at a campsite near the Ruined Cave in the Forgotten Kingdom.
Where to find Isaac
Travel to the Forgotten Kingdom and look for Isaac at the campsite near the Ruined Cave. Guides describe the campsite as being outside or near the cave entrance, close to Captain Rowan’s camp.
How to complete the cure quest
- Speak with Isaac. Talk to him at the campsite to activate his request. One guide says to choose the second dialogue option, but the wording or options may vary by game build.
- Buy the basic health potion. Return to Stonewake’s Cross and visit Maria’s potion shop. Buy the first-tier health potion—the item guides label Health Potion I or Recover I.
- Bring it back to Isaac. Put the potion in your item bar and interact with Isaac to hand it over. Do not consume it.
- Collect the quest reward. Guides report EXP for completing the quest. Reward details are not consistent enough to promise a specific EXP amount or badge.
Which potion does Isaac need?
Isaac needs the first-tier health potion. The guide names differ, so use the basic option Maria currently shows rather than relying only on a particular label. Walkthroughs report that Isaac rejects a higher-tier potion.
How much does the potion cost?
Two guides list the potion at 150 Gold, while another does not state a price. Treat 150 Gold as a guide-reported cost that may change with game updates; check Maria’s current shop price before buying.

Do you need to unlock the Forgotten Kingdom first?
Isaac’s campsite is in the Forgotten Kingdom, so you need access to that area to reach him. Available walkthroughs do not establish a consistent, verified level requirement or other exact unlock prerequisite.
