The Alchemist's Mortar sends the player into Balthazar's old tower in Lone Thistle. His Mortar lies in a hidden laboratory below the tower, behind a locked door. A hidden button in the tower opens it, and his own notes complain that pressing it hurts. Placing the Mortar in the base unlocks new Alchemist recipes.
