The older Kuku Pup/Peddler's Pack/five-cell wording does not match that finite ingredient list. The pack supports gathering nearby mushroom, herb, fruit and vegetable items, making this Core useful to retain for that recipe.29293030Additional Details31313232How To Obtain33333434The Core of Mortification is the reward for the optional dial puzzle at the Sanctum of Mortification.
