I am in Op. 3 and have a quest from Liselotte called Imperial Nectar where she says that Emperor Bees make Imperial jelly and you wont find it without her help in Ladlum Caverns. But i searched the caves dozens of times tries to kill every possible combo of enemies, searched high and low but no luck with the Imperial Jelly. Anyone else get this quest and complete it?
