I did that quest twice lol, the first time I threw the potion after i finished the quest and i couldn't finish it.
I did it again and viola done deal.
You get that quest from that lil shack south of the first place at the rift.
I had to use the monk godly skill that you can't die for 15 seconds which is enough to kill him then you ran like crazy after that lol.
