  7. The first ingredient is freely-given blood. Speak to Bailey and "Punch Him." He informs you he feels no pain. Ask him to prove it, and he will cut himself with a shard of glass drawing his own blood. He will then hand you Blood-stained glass as proof.

  8. The second ingredient is a live specimen of a Sea slug. Head east to the Fishing spot and lure there. A Sea slug will jump out. Do not attempt to take it as you will take damage. Instead, walk back towards Kennith who will stun it and the Dazed sea slug will appear in your inventory. Speak to him again and when you inform him that you have obtained all the ingredients, he will give you a Seeker gland. Pick up the Pestle and mortar in the room, and use any of the ingredients on it to create the Anti-mind control serum. Speak to Kennith who will then head to the Citadel.
