Shmowder

Pathologic 2=

Shmowder is a type of cure in Pathologic 2. It can completely cure the Sand Plague from the player or an infected NPC. If used on the player, it can have a dramatic affect on their total health, but cannot cause death.

Shmowders can be obtained through trading with Teensy, trading at the Dead Item Shop, collected from children's caches, during a game of hide and seek during Act 2, or trading a Leash with a Doghead in the Nutshell from Day 4 on.

The game of hide and seek and trading away the Leash are the only guaranteed sources of Shmowders. All other sources are chance spawns.

Acquisition
In order to find the Old Shmowder, the player must have a Kickstarter backer code for the event. Once entered and using a new save file, the player will find a note in the cabinet in the Haruspex's Lair directing them to the Warehouses. They will find several children who say they wish to capture an elusive cat. In order to do so, they need some Milk.

After pouring some Milk into a bowl, the children thank the Haruspex and offer him the Old Shmowder.

Shmowder (Pathologic)=

Shmowder is a type of cure in Pathologic. It can completely cure the Sand Plague from the player or an infected NPC.

Aside from quests, Shmowders can be obtained by trading with Teensies who value Shmowders at 10 and by looting infected houses.

When used by the player, the Plague will be completely cured and health will be reduced down to only 5 points. If health was less than 5 when the Shmowder was taken, it will not change. Use on a NPC will cure them of the Plague and have no other drastic effects on their health.

Quote
"A mix of randomly chosen drugs (mostly antibiotics). Those "shmowders" were created by children to "play Plague." The random recipe produced an unexpected result—the powder completely removes the effects of Sand Plague infection, but severely damages health."
