I don't remember drinking the potions. I think you just have to obtain them and then it says aura cleansed or something.

The final showdown with Marek has to be done just right for the poison to be cured. Drinking the potions won't help, the dialog should say you are cured when Marek dies. I am wondering if using Charm has messed things up. Hope you kept a saved game. (Also check the Six-of-Spades website for help.)

Good. You should be fine now. The ONLY thing that can turn off the "Party Is Poisoned" variable is to TALK to Marek. Even if you sneak up to him and whack him with a single Backstab, you still won't get the all-important "You have been cured of Marek's poison" line in your text window. If you see that, you're fine. If not, you're dead.

which is a bit silly really, should be a case of getting the antidote from his corpse and drinking it, but as he has two antidotes on him if oyu get the wrong one you die too, only way round it is to read descriptions, cos if a potion is coloured wrong it normally tells you, that would mean the astute adventurer would be fine anyone else dies horribly and has to reload. The antidote you actually receive is completely pointless and does nothing, doesnt even cure normal poison if you use it i think

It does cure normal poison, in fact it's the equivalent of 10 Antidotes packed into a single 1-pound bottle. But yes, if drinking it would actually reset the Poisoned quest so that you don't die, that would definitely save a lot of people a LOT of grief.

yep, bit rigid on the way this one is played out unlike most of the other quests (where you can steal quest items from the relevant people [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
