he's at number 1 in Hellfighter's map. And his home will remain empty until you have the quest from the Chieftain's son to "find the alchemist".

1. do you have the quest?
2. Are you at the right spot?
3. Look on your minimap... do you see a green spot in unreachable area? <shudder>

The pit in the SE area is only open after you received the alchemist's quest to "find a cure for the plague".

I'm having a different problem but related to the alchemist quest.
the first ingred. that I gathered was the Grey Quisirisi-fruit
Now after finding the other ingredients I find that the fruit is missing.
Not in inventory, not in log book. Went back to area where gathered, no more to be found..
Please any suggestions as to what happened?
I should not have been able to sale or trade it as it should not have appeared in inventory; however if that was the case-why does my log book not have a note that I found it?

You didn't dump a bunch of food in a barrel to reduce weight, and accidentally transfer the fruit as well, did you?
Under what patch did you find the fruit? I've seen a problem in the short lived 1.41 patch that could change the Grey Quisirisi-fruit into just 'fruit'.

You may/should be able to get the fruit back by swapping some inventory files, using the procedure in;

Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files (written for DD, works for BD)

I'll load an old save before talking to the alchemist to get the inventory files. In the mean time, finish all other quests you have open.
