|-
 
|[[File:Baby.png|50x50px|link=Baby]]<br/>[[Baby]]
 
|width="48%"|It's hard to tell under all the covers, but it's a living baby. It should be brought to the [[Town Hall]].<br/>
 
It feels strange to carry a baby like an item, but now isn't the time to be sentimental.
 
|width="48%"|Collected during baby rescues in infected districts. Can be brought to the [[Town Hall]] for a reward.
 
|-
 
|[[File:Blood.png|50x50px|link=Bull Blood]]<br/>[[Bull Blood]]
 
|Useless for crafting. Show this to Dankovsky?<br/>
 
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 and must be given to the [[Bachelor]].
 
|-
 
|[[File:Key.png|50x50px|link=Key With No Lock]]<br/>[[Key With No Lock]]
 
|width="48%"|It's a secret. It has "F." scratched on it.<br/>
 
Small. It's a key to a box or a drawer, not a door. It reflects light at odd angles.

|-
 
|[[File:Leash.png|50x50px|link=Leash]]<br/> [[Leash]]
 
|Made of sturdy leather. Whoever gets leashed by it, won't get away. Kids value it.<br/>
 
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]] girl in the [[Nutshell]].
 
|-
 
|[[File:Blood.png|50x50px|link=Living Blood]]<br/>[[Living Blood]]
 
|This flask is heavy like a rock. This is special blood. What can it be used for?<br/>
 
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.
 
|Obtained from the [[Abattoir]] on Day 9 and is required to create [[Panacea]].
 
|-
 
|[[File:Note.png|50x50px|link=List]]<br/>[[List]]

|This paper should be enough for guards to let me near my own house.<br/>
 
A pass, signed and stamped by [[Alexander Saburov|Saburov]].
 
|Given by [[Alexander Saburov]] if the Haruspex does not return to his father's home on time.

|And a note. Signed "V.O". To read it, I need to touch it.<br/>
 
<i>For touch details, see [[Notes#Rusty Key|Rusty Key]].</i>
 
|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]].

Revision as of 00:24, 23 August 2020

Most creators of in-game universes are aiming for minimal ambiguity in their worldbuilding. Our understanding of our goals is fundamentally different! We aim for the opposite things. Ambiguity. Doubt. Subtext. Layers of meaning. The owls not being what they seem.

Of course, sometimes a bullet’s just a bullet, and a barking dog is a dog that’s barking. However, the mass of ambiguous, fluid things is a critically important part of our setting. Does the outline of that chair resemble a guillotine? Great; our kind of chair. Is there something priestly about this butcher? Fantastic; let them scratch their heads.

This doesn’t just apply to adding meaning to the simple things; the converse is also true— direct references and allegories should be reduced to small hints.

Pathologic 2 art book



The listed items are different types of miscellaneous items found throughout Pathologic 2 that can be used in barter, quests, medicine brewing, and specific trade with Var (organs) and the Fellow Traveller ("dead items").

Currency

Item Description & Details Use
Money
Money
Oddly enough, money is used to buy items in shops. Offering it during common street barter, however, would be seen as offensive.

On the third day of the epidemic local prices went through the roof; now, on the eighth day, very few people agree to actually trade for money, preferring barter instead. The latter is more cumbersome, but can yield lucrative rewards.

Can be used to buy items in Stores, Bad Grief's Nest, Andrey Stamatin's Broken Heart, and Var's Shop.
InquisitorCoupons
Inquisitorial Coupon
Food is only sold for these now..

The sword is mightier than the pen... unless it's an inquisitorial pen.

Can be traded in stores for food after the arrival of Aglaya Lilich.

Organs

Item Description & Details Use
Blood
Blood
A blood-filled flask.

Blood is one of the primal elements. It bears life and death. They say that a bloodless man is immortal.

Can be sold to Var, the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
InfectedBrain
Infected Brain
A section of brain tissue. Crossed with defects.

Rumor has it, sand pest can be transmitted through word and thought. Bullshit... it has to be bullshit.

Can be sold to the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
InfectedHeart
Infected Heart
Ulcerous, yet still almost alive.

"Every object has a heartbeat. Can you hear it?"

Can be sold to the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
InfectedKidney
Infected Kidney
A sick human kidney.

"Emshen" means "a doctor", or someone who knows the Lines. "Erdem" means "a wise man", who doesn't know them. Speaking in more modern terms, "erdem" would refer to a scientist.

Can be sold to the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
InfectedLiver
Infected Liver
A sick human liver.

A body is not to be cut open. It's only allowed for menkhu - wise men who know where a body wants to give - and butchers, who accept sin. The word for butcher, "yaragachin", also means "surgeon."

Can be sold to the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
KidneyRight
Kidney
A human kidney.

According to the steppe beliefs, the body is a perfect representation of the Universe. However, the steppe people are not so naive as to correlate organs and bones to cosmic or geographical features. What they refer to are, first and foremost, connections and circulations.

Can be sold to Var, the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
Liver
Liver
A human liver.

Cutting open any bodies, including human, is taboo in our town. According to the "Baur Meges" steppe myth, the wholeness, harmony, and finiteness of the body are sacred. Only a person who ppossesses knowledge has the caste right to break this wholeness. Such people are allowed to work as doctors, butchers, or tattoo makers.

Can be sold to Var, the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
Heart
Heart
A hot, almost-beating heart.

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 sold to Var, the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
InfectedBlood
Infected Blood
Can be used like any other infected organ.

Along the Layers of the body, Blood is often mentioned; at other times, Flesh; but rarely as two separate Layers. Blood is flesh. "We are of the same blood, you and I." "You are flesh of our flesh."

Can be sold to the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.
Brain
Brain
A section of brain tissue.

"Blood is only a stream of red and white blood cells. Sure, they contain information, but how can anything compare to the magnificence of the brain?" Dankovsky once demanded.
Yet a brain is only dull meat.

Can be sold to Var, the Fellow Traveller, or used in medicine brewing.

Other

Item Description & Details Use
Beetle
Beetle
A surprising find in autumn, if not useless.

Where do they go in winter?

Can be traded with certain children.
BloodyBandage
Bloody Bandage
This is a dead item. Someone created it by using a bandage.

According to sanitary procedures, any object that bears the trace of a deceased person's blood must be burned. According to local belief, it's pointless since the blood will simply appear elsewhere.

Can be sold at the Dead Item Shop.
Bracelet
Bracelet
Worn to cut off the flow of warmth between the heart and the ring finger. Too small for me.

A human body is the sum of its circulation. But it often needs to be interrupted for certain medical procedures.

Can be used in bartering.
BrokenAmpoule
Broken Ampoule
This is a dead item. The carcass of an ampoule of morphine.

Items used to improve health die. Who could possibly want this?

Can be sold at the Dead Item Shop.
BrokenScissors
Broken Scissors
The Moerae must have been in a hurry.

It's said that Clara the Changeling, a thief girl who claims to be a saint, can repair any sharp object just as easily as she cures the sand pest, simply by laying her hands on it.

Can be used in bartering.
BullBell
Bull Bell
Did it bring luck to the one who wore it?

This bell's inner surface is marked with sigils from the secret, sacred steppe alphabet. Like a human body, its inside mirrors the universe.

Can be used in bartering.
Button
Button
A trifle to a human, but a whole eye to a doll.

Murky is said to have a doll, but no one's ever seen it. Perhaps it simply lives all over the Town?

Can be used in bartering.
CandleStub
Candle Stub
The stub of a nuptial candle. It smells of Earth.

They say when Wild Nina Kaina, the Dark Mistress of our town, so much as glanced at candles, they'd bow to her–even without wind.

Can be used in bartering.
Chalk
Chalk
A piece of chalk. Used to draw lines.

The world is one whole, having form only where it is divided. Some Lines are natural; others, man-made. Chalk, composed of the dead bodies of sea creatures, is a good tool for setting boundaries.

Can be used in bartering.
Charm
Charm
Averts bad fortune. Unhelpful to me, but some people value it.

You can't bring about good fortune--but you can craft it, like this handwoven charm. I suppose I could trade it for something.

Can be used in bartering.
Chisel
Chisel
Used to mark and sharpen tools. Handy when fixing bladed weapons and simple machinery.

Rumor has it, Georgy Kain carved the statue in The Crucible's yard with his own hands. Drivel. Why would a Judge waste his time on that?

DragonflyEye
"Dragonfly Eye"
An incredibly rare concoction made of twyre berries. When consumed, it reveals several points of interest in the Town.

Can be consumed to mark points on the map, leading to events or boxes of items.
EmptyBottle
Empty Bottle
A clean bottle. Can be filled with water.

No one drinks water from the Gorkhon river in our town, which is quite sensible. No one digs wells either, which is less so. Clear drinkable water is not a luxury, but is valued. It is brought from the steppe, and people can often tell which spring it is from by the taste.

Can be filled with water to become Water Bottle, infected water to become Murky Water, or blood to become Blood.
BoatToken

Can be used in bartering.
Grindstone
Grindstone
Used to sharpen knives, scissors... and scalpels.

Can be used by townsfolk to repair Scalpels.
Marbles
Marbles
Children give them names. They believe you can find a lost marble by calling after it.

No one knows how marbles appear in the Town. No one makes or delivers them. They simply pop up here and there; on the floor, under the pillow, or right on the ground.

Can be used in bartering.
Match
Match
Can't light an oil lamp without one.

One must recall that which is most dear to them before the match burns out, or the whole thing won't work.

Can be used in bartering or used to light the Lantern.
MetalScrap
Metal Scrap
Invaluable if one needs to fix a gun or a relatively complex contraption.

Needle
Needle
As piercing as a wise person's stare. Can be used to pick small locks, such as the ones in cabinet drawers.

Can be used to pick small locks or used in bartering.
Package
Package

Victor Kain never carries a watch around, but always knows the correct time, down to the second. We've tested him. Can he tell by the stars?

It circles back, like time. Equally precious.

"Ding-a-ding,
Hear the ring ring..."

Murky the orphan says that safety pins are like people: open or closed, they always have a pointy end.

ScrapName
Scrap Name
When a person is done with their name, they discard it.

People in this town are like a flight of birds, and birds don't require names. Individuality is overrated.

Can be traded at the Dead Item Shop.
Sewbox

Smells of home. Useful for intricate sewing and mending.

Gravel once knitted a sweater for me. I asked her why it was blue. She told me that blue is the color of morons, and never made me another.

Can be used for clothing repairs.
Soap
Soap
A bar of common soap.

Nothing fancy, but soap is the best way to maintain hygiene. Essential.

StraightRazor
Straight Razor

Can be used to repair knives and scalpels or used in bartering.
Thimble
Thimble
Useless in a town that forbids sharp objects. Still good for sewing.

Young ladies of good upbringing are often taught embroidery. But young Capella never uses a thimble. A Mistress must sense a needle's path; if she doesn't, she deserves the consequences.

Can be used by townsfolk to repair clothes.
Thread
Thread
Ties that which is torn; fates, if it's red.

Serious surgery requires thread, but in the field there's often no time to sew together wounds. Bandages and tourniquets have to do.

Can be used in bartering, repairing clothes, or upgrading inventory.
Toolkit
Toolkit
Used to make complicated repairs.
According to Stakh, no self-respecting person would use such a kit; any decent master gathers their own collection of gears and scrap, instead of relying on premade solutions.

Yet another thing we all do wrong, according to Stakh.

Can be used to repair or upgrade the alembic in the Lair.
Tweezers
Tweezers
Useful to repair delicate equipment.

Twyrine
Twyrine
A herbal infusion. Drink to reveal places and events hidden from naked eyes.

The town speaks. It calls to me. But it's hard to hear it over the rustle of my own thoughts. When they're shushed, though, one can sense the pulse of life all over the village.

Can be consumed to mark points on the map, leading to events or boxes of items.

The listed items are different types of miscellaneous items found throughout Pathologic: The Marble Nest that can be used in barter with Sticky or Shrew, as well as sidequests.

Item Description & Details Use
Beetle
Beetle
(1x1) A surprising, if useless, find in autumn.

Some fifteen years ago, the Soul-and-a-Halves, the gang of children who are defined by sharing special bonds with their pets, actually considered to allow flower chafers as their “Halves” due to the beetles “looking as though they knew something”. The idea was quickly abandoned as ridiculous.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
BrokenAmpoule
Broken Ampoule
(1x1) People would use any and all means possible to cure themselves of the disease.

An ampoule that used to contain either life-saving or life-ending drug, served its purpose (whatever it was), and has now become completely useless.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
BrokenScissors
Broken Scissors
(2x1) The Moerae must have been in a hurry--too many threads to cut these days.

It is said that Clara the Changeling, a thief girl who claims to be a saint, can repair any sharp object just as easily as she cures the sand pest--by simply laying her hands on it. Perhaps this is the reason why people refuse to throw away useless junk like broken scissors.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
CandleStub
Candle Stub
(2x1) The stub of a nuptial candle. It smells of earth.

Eva Yan, the mistress of the Stillwater, often burned candles in the study during the night, which gave her observatory-like mansion a cozier appearance. After Eva's tragic suicide, candles can no longer be lit in the Stillwater and go out immediately.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
FishingHooks
Fishing Hooks
(1x1) Sharp objects are regarded as dangerous and thus frowned upon by the locals.

While the Gorkhon river has plenty of fish, fishing is for some reason unpopular among the locals. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that hooks are sharp objects, which are heavily frowned upon around here.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
Lockpick
Lockpick
(2x1)A tool to open ordinary doors. Children make them from random trash.

These lockpicks are better than the kind the locals would stick into each other's' guts, before the second decree of the late governor Saburov.
Used to unlock doors.
Marbles
Marbles
(1x1) Children give them names, as though they were alive, and believe them to hold memories.

No one knows how exactly marbles appear in the town. No one delivers or makes them. They simply pop up here and there; on the floor, under the pillow, or right on the ground.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
Match
Match
(1x1) Draw the short one!

One must remember that which is most dear to them before the match burns out, or else the whole thing won’t work.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
Money
Money
(1x1) Oddly enough, money is used to buy items in shops. Offering it during common street barter, however, would be seen as offensive.

On the third day of the epidemic local prices went through the roof; now, on the eighth day, very few people agree to actually trade for money, preferring barter instead. The latter is more cumbersome, but can yield lucrative rewards.

Can be exchanged for food the reopened shop.
Package
Package
(2x2) The steppe people bury the remains of their dead in small packages. This is hardly one of them, but you’d rather not check.

Long before the current socioeconomic catastrophe, the local townsfolk developed a tradition of barter that the whole community revelled in. Including many types, such as “tit for tat” and “retrab”, it is sometimes secret, with people swapping wrapped items blindly.

Can opened to reveal a random assortment of items.
PocketWatch
Pocket Watch
(2x1) Recently stopped. This means that the original owner has most likely died.

Time doesn't seem to be working properly in the town; there's no other explanation to the fact that Georgiy Kain, the Judge, is two times younger than his twin brother. The Kains' fascination with all things clockwork must have something to do with this.

Can be given to a Steppe man outside of Aspity's residence in exchange for his dream.
Spindle
Spindle
(2x2) It has almost run out of thread.

One can hardly jab a finger with this thing on accident. However, a hand can probably be punctured through by it, if enough pressure is applied.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.
BloodyBandage
Used Bandage
(1x2) The traces of the epidemic are omnipresent.

According to the sanitary procedures, any object that bears the traces of a deceased person’s blood must be burned. According to the local belief, it’s pointless since the blood would simply appear elsewhere.

Can be traded to Sticky or Shrew.

The fifth of five tabs in the players inventory is "Other." Some items in this tab may be traded, sold, or used in quests.
