As you explore the Zskera Vaults of the Forbidden Reach in World of Warcraft Dragonflight, you will come upon a variety of valuable treasures and intriguing curios, such as the Empty Obsidian Vial. According to its in-game description, this item “could be used to contain a liquid,” which is evident seeing that the object is a beaker. However, such a vague description does not help much regarding what sort of uses it has within the Zskera Vaults or if it is to be utilized in the overworld map of Forbidden Reach. Luckily, we have the answer to the purpose of this vault curios.
Using Empty Obsidian Vial in World of Warcraft Dragonflight
The Empty Obsidian Vial in World of Warcraft Dragonflight has two uses, both of which are involved with the treasure rooms of the Zskera Vaults. The first mechanic allows you to dispel the freezing effect of a treasure room, while the second unlocks a new companion for your creature pet collection.

You can get the Empty Obsidian Vial curios in World of Warcraft Dragonflight by looting a large bottle that typically spawns near an alchemy table in one of the locked treasure rooms of the Zskera Vault. After adding one to your inventory, YouTuber ZaFrostPet demonstrates how you can fill the vial with a flame taken from a large pot-shaped brazier inside one of the upper-level vault rooms. Keep in mind that you likely need the Pearlescent Bubble Key to activate the Bubble Lift to reach these higher-floor areas. Once you have the flame-filled bottle, search for a room filled with ice that damages your character. You can use the vial’s Empowering Flame to dispel the cold, allowing you to explore the once-icy chamber without issue.
Alternatively, WoW Quests provides gameplay footage on YouTube that shows how you can fill the Empty Obsidian Vial in World of Warcraft Dragonflight with Restorative Water using the bright blue liquid inside a cauldron found in one of the alchemy rooms. Next, take this Restorative Water and search for a chamber with an Unkept Aquarium filled with dead fish. Using the vial on the fish tank will allow you to acquire the Patos fish as a companion.
