This entry contains potential spoilers for Pathologic 2. Read at your own risk.

The listed items are different types of miscellaneous items found throughout Pathologic 2 that are used in quests.

Item	Hover & Touch	Use
Abattoir Items	[Hover quotes vary] This system isn't symmetrical. It's not just "Nerves, Bones, Skin." Or "Nerves, Bones, Flesh." Or "Spirit, Hair, Blood." Any triad is correct. Truth is not a set point, but an intersection and confluence of many small truths. Knowing this, I can match and connect anything.	Three items collected while inside the Abattoir. When combined, they form a heart titled Zurkhen's Small Chamber, which can be spoken to.
Baby	[Hover quotes vary] It's hard to tell under all the covers, but it's a living baby. It should be brought to the Town Hall. It feels strange to carry a baby like an item, but now isn't the time to be sentimental.	Up to two babies can be rescued during Act 3. They can be brought to the Town Hall for a monetary reward.
Bull Blood	Useless for crafting. Show this to Dankovsky? Bulls don't get sand pest. Why? Although, to be honest, I care much less about the why then about the how. How can I use it, if at all? A puzzle that can only be solved with a microscope.	Obtainable from the Ragi Barrow on the evening of Day 5 until the morning of Day 6. Must be given to the Bachelor.
Key With No Lock	It's a secret. It has "F." scratched on it. Small. It's a key to a box or a drawer, not a door. It reflects light at odd angles.	Given by Grace on behalf of the deceased Peter Stamatin, to give to Andrey Stamatin.
Leash	Made of sturdy leather. Whoever gets leashed by it, won't get away. Kids value it. All Soul-and-a-Halves have a leash. I think they represent humility towards their four-legged Halves. Is this one Lika's? Or is it trickier than that?	Obtained from Notkin for a quest on Day 1 of the Haruspex's route. Can be given to Lika to send him back to the Soul-and-a-Halves to be put on trial. Can also be traded for Shmowder with a Doghead named Maera in the Nutshell.
Living Blood	This flask is heavy like a rock. This is special blood. What can it be used for? Any trickle of blood seeps from Olonngo. This is the blood I was looking for. One vial is enough to seriously invigorate myself or brew someone salvation.	Living Blood is required to create Panacea. Up to five can be acquired from the Abattoir on Day 9, and two more can be found in the Ear of Shekhen on Day 6provided the Haruspex has witnessed the Termitary Dream.
List	A list of names. The handwriting is clearly father's. I need to unfold this to read. 1. Sticky, 2. Capella, 3. Murky, 4. Notkin, 5. Khan, 6. Grace, 7. Taya Tycheek, 8. Udurgh	Obtained from Aspity for a quest on Day 2 of the Haruspex's route.
Notes	[...] I'll have to touch this to read it.	See the Notes page for details about specific notes left in game.
Pass	This paper should be enough for guards to let me near my own house. A pass, signed and stamped by Saburov.	Given by Alexander Saburov if the Haruspex does not return to his father's home before 20:00 on Day 2.
Rusty Key	And a note. Signed "V.O". To read it, I need to touch it. For touch details, see Rusty Key.	Obtainable from a box in Isidor's house for on Day 2 of the Haruspex's route. Used to gain access to the Haruspex's Lair.

Birdies, birdies... gather ye here, round the marble nest...

The listed items are different types of miscellaneous items found throughout Pathologic: The Marble Nest that are used in quests.

Item	Hover & Touch	Use
Heart	A warm heart that went out to people. Literally. In the steppe lore, the center of mind and knowledge is the liver, while the center of feeling and emotion is the lower guts. They view the heart as a less crucial and rather mechanical organ that simply pumps life around, oddly arriving at a consensus with science-based medicine.	Can be given to the Tragedian's by the Cathedral in exchange for Cothurni.
Key	It's cold. The light reflects from it at odd angles, making one unable to discern the size of this key.	Used to open a door in the Bachelor's dream.

This entry refers to content from the original Pathologic (2005) and the Pathologic Classic HD remaster. It has nothing to do with the sequel.

The listed items are different types of miscellaneous items found throughout Pathologic that are used in quests. These items will appear in the fifth tab of the player’s inventory, under "Other".

Item	Description
‹~›	The steppe people use irons like this to brand their livestock, but the symbols are sometimes also used to mark places, events, and even living creatures. This type of brand denotes concepts connected with death.
‹^›	The Steppe people use irons like this to brand their livestock, but the symbols are sometimes also used to mark places, events, and even living creatures. This type of iron brand is exceedingly rare.
‹O›	The Steppe people use irons like this to brand their livestock, but the symbols are sometimes also used to mark places, events, and even living creatures. This type of brand iron is relatively common. Its meanings include the concepts of birth, motherhood, cycle, and earth.
Abattoir Blood	A vessel with precious contents. Almost hot to the touch. The blood inside flows slowly and seems to be viscous and transparent, reminiscent of the rare twyre sap.
Andrey Stamatin's Blueprints	A supplement to the Polyhedron blueprints. They describe the terrible foundation which allows the Tower to stand, defying the laws of physics and geometry. The supplement also contains all the relevant calculations.
Anna's Blood	Anna Angel's blood test.
Aspity's Blood	Aspity's blood test.
Beast Head	Perhaps this used to be a toy horse. However, a closer look reveals horns growing out of the head. The horns arguably seem to go back to the bull cult.
Bone Horn	Bos Primigenius, a beast from legend whose lines reflect all the intricacies and laws of the Universe, gave this bone to one of the first menkhu.
Bride's Heart	The heart of a Steppe girl, a Herb Bride. Cut open to appease the butchers hoping to end the epidemic. Was she really sick? This can be confirmed under the Bachelor's microscope.
Bull's Blood	The blood of an infected sacrificial bull, cut open by impudent Worms at Ragi Barrow for some unknown purpose.
Burakh Phial	Burakh gave me this blood-like substance to check.
The Burakhs Key	A heavy old key with small seal stamped into its shaft. A sign of legacy, of inheritance. It does not look like a door key. It probably unlocks a chest or a heavy case.
Butcher's Heart	The butcher was probably infected. They were hiding from Olgimsky's wrath in infected houses, correctly assuming that the guards wouldn't try too hard to look for them there.
Capella's Necklace	Necklace of the Mistress of Light. Before it was passed on to Capella, it was worn by Victoria Olgimskaya. The necklace is carved from the bones of massive animals that no longer live in this land.
Cathedral Key	Now the building can be inspected and appropriated for sanitary needs if it really does have water. Hopefully, it won't be seen as sacrilege_ the Cathedral doesn't seem to be functional... Maybe this is why things turned out as they did?
Cell Key	This key was taken from one of the patrolmen guarding the imprisoned Ripper.
Clara's Blood	Clara's blood test.
Clara's Ring	Seal-ring of the Third Mistress. As a result of some obscure series of events, the ring was given to Clara by Katerina Saburova. It betrothes the Mistress to the Earth.
Corpse Blood	This blood must be analyzed, although the current conditions make any thorough analysis impossible. There's a high chance that it contains a sample of the harmful microorganism.
Dead Tissue	This is blood and tissue of a person who died of the Sand Plague. Procuring this sample took a lot of work. Illegal dissection of dead bodies may result in an accusation of sacrilege, leading to exile at best and more commonly to lynching.
Earth Watchman's Report	Report of the watcher who worked in the poor part of town. Contains statements, estimates, reports, notes, and statistics.
Isidor's Key	The key for the front door of the house where Isidor Burakh used to live.
Knots Watchman's Report	Report of the watcher who worked in the middle part of town. Contains statements, estimates, reports, notes, and statistics.
Lara's Blood	Lara Ravel's blood test.
Letters to Nina	Bound pieces of paper with three different handwritings. Maria's nervous hand, a steady male hand with lines that end abruptly, characteristic of the Kains, and hysteric scribbles, unfinished sentences and words, all written with the same ink. They are like screams from the other side.
Living Heart	The heart of a person infected with the Sand Plague.
Murky's Toy	A remarkably ugly specimen. With pets like this, no wonder the girl is growing up gloomy and aloof.
Peter Stamatin's Blueprints	Blueprints of the Polyhedron lined with tracing paper and containing a detailed description of the structure. Also contains faded written copies of various treatises on optics, some in foreign languages. Gives the impression of a standalone monument of human thought.
Prosectorium Blood	The blood that Stakh Rubin had been working on for the past four days. It has an unnaturally vivid crimson colour and seems to glow with some inner light. Could such blood really flow inside a human body?
Silent House Key	This key matches the lock on a certain infected house. Can definitely serve as proof of the threat of an epidemic.
Soggy Sack	A sack that feels like it contains a human head.
Stone Yard Watchman's Report	Report from the watcher who worked in the higher part of town. Contains statements, estimates, reports, notes, and statistics.
Theatre Key	Now the building can be inspected and appropriated for sanitary needs. The Theatre is the heart of the town. Its transformation into a hospital will be symbolic in a way. Instead of solemn Mask plays it shall now perform guignol.
Transfusion Blood	It is stored in a tightly corked glass flask.
Vlad the Younger's Notes	A handwritten book of authentic ethnographic notes, that Vlad the Younger dropped into his well. The insides suggest that the notes were written by different people over several generations. Only a quarter at most was written by Vlad the Younger himself.
Warehouse Key	Unlikely to be usable for all warehouses. Most probably it will only open the warehouse where its unfortunate previous owner used to work.
Willow's Heart	The heart of a Steppe girl, a sick dancer called Willow. It beat in her chest mere minutes ago. Was she really sick? This can be confirmed under the Bachelor's microscope.
Yulia's Blood	Yulia Lyuricheva's blood test.
