Notes[]
- ↑ Use of Leaf Bandage has a high risk of Infection on Laceration Wounds.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Use of Leaf Bandage may cause Infection when dirty.
- ↑ Have Bandages ready, open wounds can become infected.
- ↑ Fever caused by venom wounds only diminishes after the toxin effect has disappeared
- ↑ Eating food will cause vomiting and thus higher loss of Macroelements
- ↑ Hallucinations will attack the player and cause damage, this may result in wounds. They can easily be fought throwing stones or using any weapon. Wounds caused by halluciantions occasionally disappear after being defeated.
