Following the long (and, to be honest, quite tedious) quest line to avoid killing the various monsters for their loot, I offered the Ritual Seed Nursery to the Automaton Bishop, but instead of the expected Charm Oil, I instead received a seemingly rather useless Automaton's Potion. From what I understand, imbibing this potion supposedly makes them non-hostile, which seems pretty useless. I have no idea how to complete the quest in a non-hostile way, except maybe crafting another Ritual Seed Nursery and trying again I guess. Or, simply give up and kill an Automaton Bishop. That's what the game seems to really want me to do.

I agree with the other comment - he does drop one and the companion often picks it up. But please be sure you are offering the seed nursery to the fabled automaton bisphop in his special arena in the swamp hunt realm and not the old way in a desert. While there are still bishops wandering in the desert they no longer give the correct oil.
It looks like the Bishop GIVES you the potion and at the same time DROPS the oil on the ground. I've left feedback on "Automaton Charm Oil v Potion" and recommended that they be switched around - please consider upvoting it.
