Get the Poisoned Dagger from a wounded Gorf near Widow’s Overlook, then give it to Hilga in Mushroom Village so she can help cure him.
The Poisoned Dagger appears late in Gorf’s quest, after several conversations, item hand-ins, and Beacon rests. Once it enters your inventory, its description points you toward a knowledgeable person who can prepare a cure.
What is Poisoned Dagger in Mortal Shell 2
The Poisoned Dagger is a quest key item rather than an equippable weapon. It cannot be used repeatedly to poison enemies or enhance another weapon.
It is also unrelated to the separate Axe and Dagger combat weapon. Despite the similar names, only the Poisoned Dagger advances Gorf and Hilga’s story.

How to get the Poisoned Dagger from Gorf
Gorf’s quest progresses through repeated visits rather than one uninterrupted conversation. The precise hand-in order can vary between early builds, so follow his current request each time he has new dialogue.
Need more Weltcaps? Check behind the tree close to Gorf and the nearby trial; three mushrooms grow there.
Hand over Common Moonshine whenever Gorf asks for it, resting at a Beacon and returning between changes in his dialogue.
Continue the conversation-and-rest loop until bodies appear nearby and Gorf becomes wounded, then speak with him to receive the Poisoned Dagger.
How to give the Poisoned Dagger to Hilga
Start at the Mushroom Village Beacon
Travel to or rest at the Mushroom Village Beacon.
Take the right-hand path
Go right from the Beacon and cross the small wooden bridge into the next part of the village.
Find the cauldron area
Continue until you see a man bathing in a large cauldron, with Hilga standing nearby.
Hand the dagger to Hilga
Speak with Hilga and give her the Poisoned Dagger so she can prepare Gorf’s cure.
What happens after Hilga receives the dagger
Rest at the Mushroom Village Beacon, then return to Hilga’s cauldron. She will be gone, leaving a note that hints you should already know where she went.
Return to Gorf near Widow’s Overlook to continue the resolution. After speaking with him, rest and revisit the area to find Hilga with Gorf, exhaust their dialogue, and rest once more to see their ending.
Gorf’s full questline awards five Marsh Pearls. These can be sold to the merchant at Marrow Keep, giving you funds for purchases such as maps or weapon upgrades.
Poisoned Dagger mistakes and similar items
Do not search for the Poisoned Dagger in a chest or expect it to drop from an enemy or boss. Gorf is its only acquisition point, and it appears when his quest reaches the wounded stage.
The Axe and Dagger found through the Shrine of Trials route in Mushroom Village is a separate combat weapon. That weapon requires the Chapel Key and its own puzzles, none of which are part of the Poisoned Dagger quest.
