Detailed Walkthrough
Starting the quest
In the vanilla game, you can obtain a potion named The White Phial (Full) as a reward for completing the quest, Repairing the Phial. With this mod installed, drink this potion when your Alchemy skill is at least 70 to trigger the beginning of this quest.
Once triggered, wait 18 in-game hours. After this, a mercenary named Kalissa will begin hunting you. Continue to play as normal and eventually Kalissa will find and attack you. You may encounter her in the wilderness or in a dungeon, but never in a civilised location. The more you travel and explore Skyrim, the more likely you are to encounter Kalissa; waiting in one place will not help her find you.
