Start the Pinch of Poison sidequest at Gea Kul in the Kehjistan zone; once there, find Baraim. The whole sidequest revolves around Baraim, as it requires one to collect poison for him. Once you speak to him, he asks you to collect Scorpion Venom Glands by slaying scorpions. Head out to the Amber Sands, where the quest takes place.

After reaching the Amber Sands, you’ll see that a certain area will be highlighted, symbolizing where you can harvest the scorpions. Once players start killing the scorpions, they’ll start dropping Scorpion Venom Glands.

Note that the drop percentage in these glands is not 100%, and you might have to kill a few more than you reckon. The drops must be manually collected. However, they will show up as blue diamond markers in the mini-map, making them easy to collect.

The quest requires you to collect 15 Scorpion Venom Glands. Once collected, you will be instructed to return to Baraim. After returning to Baramin and giving him the Scorpion Venom Glands, the Diablo 4 sidequest Pinch of Poison is complete.
