Shekhen



Shekhen (Шэхен) is the abandoned steppe village which can be found by following a foot trail from the doors of the Abattoir southeast through a series of standing stones. It only appears in Pathologic 2.

Description
"A place of old."

- Shekhen's subtitle

The village contains two functional water barrels and three herb gardens, which grow all varieties of basic twyre as well as Swevery. Unlike all other herbs locations -- which respawn at 07:30 -- these herb plots will respawn at 07:30 and midnight each day. It is possible for the player to harvest these herb plots directly before and after either spawn time, however they must physically remove themselves from the herbs' general vicinity between harvests. Herbs will not appear if the player is nearby, however there appears to be a ~30 in-game minute "buffer" of sorts, wherein herbs may trickle in if player proximity is initially too close.

North of the village is a defunct ferryman's dock, which will remain non-functional for the entirety of the game.

Of special interest is a rock formation roughly in the center of the village, referred to as the Ear. Blood flows from it in thin rivers.

While Shekhen is always accessible, the Haruspex has no plot-driven reason to visit until Day 6.
