Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Finding the Morning Glory Type Flower

To start the mission, you need to get the Morning Glory Type Flower. This flower is located at the spot marked on your map in Northwestern Yotsuya, Edo. Just head over to that area and pick it up! 🌼

2. Getting Drugged by Alexandria Moreau

Once you pick the flower, don’t be surprised if Alexandria Moreau pops up and drugs you! You will enter a dazed state, and Alexandria will ask you some questions. Guess what? It doesn’t matter how you answer because you’re under her spell! Your answers will lead you down a strange path.

3. The Real Target: Robert Fortune

The twist comes when Alexandria reveals that she’s actually interested in Robert Fortune, and she wants you to help her. Your new task is to drug him with the tea made from the flower you just picked.

4. Talking to Robert at the Botanical Garden

Now that you’re in the Botanical Garden, approach Robert. You’ll have limited options to talk to him. Let him know you have some rare tea for him to try. When he seems unsure, persuade him by saying, "Enjoy it!" 🍵

5. The Exciting Chase

After you both drink the tea, you and Robert will venture out to find more flowers. Stay close to him as you exit the garden; however, watch out! Redcoats will attack while you’re on your quest. Battle them and show them who’s boss! ⚔️

6. Following Fortune's Lead

Stick with Fortune as he identifies flower petals on the ground, hinting that the flower garden is nearby. Continue down the path until you reach a small clearing with a few houses.

7. Confronting Rutherford Alcock

Just when you think everything’s going smoothly, Rutherford Alcock will arrive. He understands Moreau’s plan and tries to stop you. Time for a fight!

- Tactics to Defeat Alcock:

  - He uses different poisons and prefers ranged attacks, so be careful!

  - Try using Jin or Shinobi fighting styles, which will help you counter his attacks.

  - Stay close to him to dodge his ranged shots. Focus on dodging and punishing him when he’s vulnerable.

If you get poisoned, don’t worry—you can heal yourself or use an antidote if you have one. With careful fighting, you should take him down before too long! 🏆

8. Wrapping Up the Mission

After your victory over Alcock, Alexandria Moreau will appear and congratulate you! When given the chance to talk, ask "What kind of relationship?" to strengthen your bond with her.

And there you go! You’ve successfully completed "An Intoxicating Flower." Through determination and a few tactical battles, you’ve deepened your bond with Alexandria Moreau and moved forward in Rise of the Ronin.
