Panacea

Panacea (Pathologic 2)=

Panacea is a type of cure in Pathologic 2. It can completely cure infection without damaging health, unlike Shmowders which come at a high health cost.

It is scarce, but contains extraordinary powers, making it nearly universally coveted for its healing properties.

It is brewed by combined Tinctures with Living Blood. Due to the scarcity of the latter, a maximum of seven Panaceas can be obtained over the course of the game.

Plot
The Panacea is a serum that, as its description entails, completely cures the Sandpest.

The Panacea serum is made by the Haruspex, who brews it by mixing Abattoir Blood obtained throughout the Haruspex route with Twyrine Extracts. All of the playable characters are able to retrieve several phials for themselves. Despite this, Abattoir Blood is extremely sparse, making the Panacea extremely valuable.

The Bachelor can obtain up to four bottles of Panacea during his route.

The Haruspex can brew up to six bottles of Panacea during his route.

The Changeling can obtain up to four bottles of Panacea during her route.
