For this quest, you’ll need to get to Gaspin Manor to investigate the strange occurrences. Travel south through the Cavernous Tunnels to reach the Gaspin Manor.
When you arrive at the manor, clear out the enemies in the courtyard and destroy all the red crystals. This will drop a barrier on the northwestern side of the area. Use Unbind Wards to dispel the blue barrier then head inside.
Interact with the wall in the corner to reveal the Consuming Obsession.
Take it out then head into the vault. Read the Final Missive by the pedestal.
Afterwards, report back to Bastian to complete the quest.
