Tip for specifically Day 1 and 2: Don't worry too much about what you take and pick up, just take anything you can trade, and anything you can use on yourself, and DO NOT trade away immunity boosters or food. Only food you should trade is nuts, because those are the open secret treasure of the game as most fans of Path 1 will tell you as well. Also check Lara's house occasionally, same with Vlad's, Vlad every couple days gets more money in his cabinet, and there's no downside to taking it, Lara sometimes has food randomly, also no downside.
For me one of the biggest boosts of morale was discovering that you can kill bandits (or other people if you are also a bandit) with one heavy strike with Menkhu's Finger, it deals more than hundred damage while all people (except soldiers) have exactly one hundred hp, so I become a little bit less afraid of these guys.
You forgot a few things Sul! Many townsfolk can repair things for you if you have the right items. A powerstab with a knife and then a slash will kill any bandit. The best time to go herb hunting is at night, in the steppe, and in the steppe village at the bottom right at the map. Three continuously regenerating patches every night. Also after you learn to water earths veins, there are more places in the world than that one shown to you. One little spot has 3! Its in a map corner in the skinners!
You can pick double amount of herbs from the village in a single trip, collect them right before midnight, wait a bit for them to regenerate, and collect again. You have to be distanced from them a bit tho.
There is another way to cure your own infection! At one point in the game, an arsonist that throws molotov cocktails at the infected people will tell you that he is curing the sick people. Well, it turns out that if you walk into the molotov fire it will reduce the infection. If the infection reaches 0 before you die, it will cure you. He wasn't lying, fire is a cure. It's one of my favorite details about the game.
7:05 backstabs do more damage but you can also be backstabbed by enemies. Learned this the hard way while looting. Died in about half a second from full health.
1. Trading water bottles is a noobtrap: it's way better to make tinctures, heal people in hospital and grab the big prize. 2. knife is awesome. very easy to maintain, nice upgrade to damage. . . Spoilers . . 3. Try to gather as much wallnuts as you can- seven can be traded for amazing deal with that little blonde teensy. 4. You can practicly cheat by visiting Shekhen village on the 6:30 am and gather all the herbs, then gather them again when the day starts. I'm yet to check if that's the moment of respawn but one spawn gives you like 30 twyres.
lol, rip my bottles then. I'll try and still complete the run i'm on, but its not gonna be pretty. I'll keep that in mind though on a future playthrough.
Great guide! Just reached midnight on Day 5 right now and doing "fine", but that's because I've been very diligent. I often worry about people going into this blind, and I sometimes see my fear realized when I peak at blind let's plays. This guide would be greatly beneficial for new people, so thank you so much for making it. If I get my friends into this game, I will share this guide with them.
What I love is I can be "fine" one moment and the next completely out of resources and struggling to survive to the next day and then the next day comes and I'm fine again. Love if
real nice guide, I didn't know a broken scalpel was more effective than fists. I legitimately love this game a great deal, even the fighting now that I've gotten used to it
@@sethanuar8414 ah cool cool. I meant to say "are we* buddies on there". typed too fast. Nice to see another patho fan around here! Ironically, that original statement I made I disagree with now. I'm good on the fighting once I got used to it. Gonna have to edit it.
I find scalpels are far too valuable to waste their durability by using them as weapons. You can get a free kitchen knife from Lara's house early in the game, and scalpels can be used for harvesting organs, which can then be sold for hundreds of coins apiece.
Thanks for the tips, mate! I didn't know that time froze when you were on the map or the menu. That ought help me a lot. I'm loving this game sor far! Probably the best story-driven/ survival game I've ever played!
Thank you! Im on day 4 and loving the game, but the hunger and eventually health aspect has been most challenging. Really appreciate this spoiler-free guide
I don’t find the hunger to be as bad as a lot of people make out. The meter does deplete fairly fast, but you can come across food fairly readily. What you can’t come across so easily, is a cure to the plague. Curing exhaustion can damage your health, or if not, it will take away precious time. Hunger isn’t really at the top of my list of priorities, most of the time.
Great guide and fast fix for combat. No better way to fight than a melee. You need to do three long hooks, turn with your block and just walk from an enemy. Turn when you will collect enough stamina for another two long hooks which will kill an enemy. After few tries by using this tactic you will kill an enemy without loosing your health. Second tactics - three stealth melee attacks will kill any enemy and he will not even turn to you if you do it correct. Practice and melee attack against 1 enemy will become very easy in this game.
another quick tip for ppl if ur new to the game: do NOT trade away any immunity boosters you come accross on day 1 and 2. people will give you a lot for them, yes, but you will end up like me and regretting it SO MUCH by day 3. it's better to trade a bunch of junk than a couple useful items.
You can also sidestep after an uppercut while they're stunned and get a weak punch in, extending the stun and possibly getting another uppercut if you manage to sidestep completely behind them - after this, when not thirsty, you can sometimes continuously uppercut into their back until dead. Of course, if they ever end up facing you during any step, start back at block, back up, then uppercut after a swing misses/is blocked. The above is especially effective against nonhuman opponents
2:54 When storing stuff in Lara's house make sure to move it before speaking to her in the theatre on day 4 when she invites you over for food. I found just now that it removes and replaces everything stored with the food items she invited you over for.
Came over here from RagnarRox's video on Pathologic 2, and am eager to get started! Thank you for the informative newbie guide. My time in real life is as valuable and fleeting as the protagonist's in this game, so any help to get a jump-start is needed. That said, can't wait to get started on it. It is appreciated!
Zurkh tinctures have the weakest side effects since they only increase thirst I recommend using them as immunity booster instead of Yas or Medrel which increase hunger and exhaustion. With + tinctures the side effects are flipped I don’t recommend drinking Zurkh+ tinctures they should be used for prophylaxis or diagnoses.
Grateful for this guide. I just got into the game and was playing it like I play most other games. This game is... different. I normally don't need guides, but this one helped a lot. Thanks!
what i find is that you can't really "loose" a single player game, just create differnt experiences. bad endings were programmed for being worth some while id guess.
I just finished it and I feel you don't have to stress yourself trying to save people or developing panaceas. Many died on my playthrough and still got the Nocturnal and Diurnal endings. The only vital thing later on in the game is food.
I know that it’s resource management is what makes it such an interesting and free game, but honestly it’s too much for me to wrap my head around to make it worth it. Thank you for the vid though! I’m gonnna try the game out again to see if I can do better
I was waiting for this! However, even though i knew all these from Classic, it is still too damn hard. Can you make a more Pathologic 2 specific guide? Like how to have enough items, how much tinctures to make and so on.. edit: Hunger-specific i mean :D
Honestly, some of it is luck - keep things on you and trade what you can People to trade with; 1. Teenage boys sometimes have dried fish, will trade pins and razors and other junk 2. Steppe people (in red/tan clothing, or the steppe girls) often have pemikan, will trade tinctures and sometimes other junk 3. Leather-capped guardsmen often have toast, will trade lockpicks and bullets
Always scavenge bottles and fill them, hoard them. Always keep a spring, a chisel and a metal scrap in your inventory in the later stages of the game so you can repair a pump and fill all the bottles at once. Never go through a burned district at night. Fighting looters in darkness = death.
Doesn't all new players have a hard time? Most just get better through trial and error. Barring that you haven't played the original I don't think a person exists who said "Meh, I found the game easy.
Some numbers probably would be helpful. The two I assume that are troubling you are Thirst/Stamina and Immunity/Infection? Thirst increases while your stamina recovers, so if you run run run, when that stamina bar starts to recharge, the thirst bar will grow. The larger the red area of thirst, the less stamina overall you'll have. Once you drink though, either directly from a barrel or a pump or from a bottle, the thirst meter will go back down to 0. It seems a bit complicated at first but is really intuitive once you figure it out. Immunity slowly decreases depending on how close you are to an infected area, so if you're not in one the immunity bar will not change but if you are in one it will slowly go down. Once it reaches 0 the bar will change to "infection" which means you have the plague. Until you cure yourself of the plague, that will never go away, and will eat at you a bit. You can build immunity back up over top of this though but it will always be a little worse unless you bring the infection down. Some bars go up while you bring others down. For example, If you eat food that is dry, your hunger will go down but your thirst will go up. If you sleep, your exhaustion will go down but your hunger will go up while you sleep. Your immunity increases steadily while you are not in an infected area. Some tinctures and the like can lower or increase some of the bars, while always boosting your immunity, if you drink them. I hope that helps!
About to dive in this game, it’s free on Xbox rn for me and I’m bored because of this pandemic. I’ve heard this game can be difficult going in blind so wish me luck.
I know that death is an important mechanic in the game, but i want to see what the game looks like first while save scumming a fair amount where i can. Its not that I won't accept death when it happens sometimes (typically i'm weighing how much progress i'd lose in the day by going back to my last save), but I am curious to see how it affects the ending. Its just in my nature to save scum.
0:36 Hyperinflation raises the price of goods. The reason why the price of goods plummets in this town is because the value of the goods themselves outweighs the currency during bad times.
There’s a quest on day 1 where you can get a leash. On day 3 (I think) you can get into the house where the children congregate, and there’s a doghead child who will trade you a shmowder for the leash. I kept my shmowder to cure my favorite NPC’s when they got infected.
when i died the narrator guy said i would continue to get weaker every death so shouldn't i avoid death entirely? Like you said its quite a cumbersome task avoiding death
It is worse to go back and try to savescum than it is to push forward - try to avoid death of course, but don't restart the entire game because you have died a couple of times - or even twenty or fifty times
@@SulMatul Does the game "remember" you save-scumming? If it does, how strict is it, does it concern only death, infection, or other things as well? Or do you just mean that you'll be wasting time trying to "get it right" instead of experiencing content and learning?
@@Septagramable Deaths are per profile. If you die five times and decide to load a save from before any of them, it will still carry the consequences of those five deaths (unless you start a completely new profile.) Nothing else is carried over though
Hi there, I wanted to say this is a great straight to the point video, although i would recommend a bit higher volume as it was hard to hear on a small speaker. If you can hear yourself talk on 50% with average headphones over your voice on the video, you should be about there. Stay under the red. Thanks for the video, cheers
I am on the fence between buying Pathologic 2 and playing through it or not. From what I've been told, the story is both deep and conclusive. I've also been told that it is brutal in a game play perspective. I am very intrigued by this game and it's follower base, but I don't really know if I'm up for the challenge. Any recommendations?
On my first playthrough and I bought the gun..but I feel like it's a scam. Sure I have 8 bullets for it but the gun was already damaged when I got it and if I'm attacked by more than one person then it's unlikely I'll make it out alive. I'm debating selling if haha. I guess if I wanted to I could save scam but that ruins the experience. Hmmmm decisions decisions
Um bro how in the world am I supposed to finish the game blind? I am currently playing and reloading the 6th day over and over again for past couple of 20 real time hours. I am honestly at a loss how I can balance all of these meters and still do this stupid Hospital crap. Wish me luck.
@@redfox_hh8046 I feel like I got soft locked really hard on my first run and stopped playing the game for over a year. I recently picked up the game again with new save and lowered the hell out of the difficulty settings. I just don't want to get soft locked again even though game tries to tell me it's not how the game is supposed to be played. I want to finish it too.
@@EPE77U bro. I finished the game. I learned one crucial thing while playing. Slight spoiler but a very important tip: You need to learn to let go. Just try to survive. You can't save everyone or can't be everywhere. Don't let your aspirations get in the way of your own survival. I finished the first save (the one I thought impossible with 50 deaths) (by the way there is a second mechanical trick that helps a lot but a friend of mine said it was cheating but I don't think it is: You can regenerate HP as well as exhaustion while you sleep that means as long as you can stay out of fights your HP bar is an extention of your exhaustion-meter so you can save a lot of recourses with that trick. That amount to about 2 to 4 hours each day. It is really really op. Good luck my fellow doctor. May your list prosper and your town become healthy again. Be Karthagna. May your kin fair well.
@@redfox_hh8046 Thanks for the tips! It's a really hard game which bothers me a bit because I really love to explore the town and it's full of mysteries. I realize I can't solve everything in one run but I also don't feel like starting all over again after I finish this one. But maybe in the future.
The game's made to provide a relevant experience regardless of how successful you are. If you didn't save a lot of people, it's going to be different, but just as interesting
@@bitterleafcastle1552 yeh thanks,got to day 10 was struggling for food so I restarted and lowered the difficulty settings to the lowest possible.im now on day 7 but still can't find food.lol.
@@bitterleafcastle1552 time for my criticism oh where to start, it needs to load to search a bin wtf.its crashed on me twenty times and I've had a good barter and have food and am running to save.the constant reloading of other areas is ballbteaking.its made me turn that nadty I offed a kid in a house for food then the shopkeeper walked in and sold me a cheap apple, the big question will I play path 3 in this state I'm afraid no,, I could go on for hours.frustration does not equal class.
willie html It will say “infected” and the immunity bar will be replaced with a infected bar. DON’T do it! Once infected your health CONSTANTLY drains (I guess it just depends on how bad your infection is I’m not sure on the game mechanics regarding infection) and you will die unless you constantly take medicine... In other words now you’ll have to take medicine (antibiotics, etc) just as often as food, sometimes more often. In my case I took 2-3 antibiotics and still died within 5-10 mins from the infection. I went back to a previous save (not get infected) as trying to fight both hunger and infection meters was too difficult in my game. So yeah best just to not get infected lol.
Why am I watching this? I passed every day perfectly, had huge supplies of everything necessary for the final, and also did not encounter serious difficulties during the game
Buy lockpicks from Bad Grief and trade them to guards for inmunity boosters, toast, bullets, morphine. Best trade in the game.
Another thing is that barter items are sometimes sold in stores, and are usually very cheap. I usually buy nuts, raisins, chalk, etc. when I see them
PRO TIP: if you forget the recipes for the tinktures, there is poster left of the table with a hint on how to make a tinkture of a certain color.

Tip for specifically Day 1 and 2: Don't worry too much about what you take and pick up, just take anything you can trade, and anything you can use on yourself, and DO NOT trade away immunity boosters or food. Only food you should trade is nuts, because those are the open secret treasure of the game as most fans of Path 1 will tell you as well.

@@JamieNotLamie You need to complete one of the "main" quests, don't remember which one, it's been more than a year from that. Better look on wiki.
You forgot a few things Sul! Many townsfolk can repair things for you if you have the right items. A powerstab with a knife and then a slash will kill any bandit. The best time to go herb hunting is at night, in the steppe, and in the steppe village at the bottom right at the map. Three continuously regenerating patches every night.
Also after you learn to water earths veins, there are more places in the world than that one shown to you. One little spot has 3! Its in a map corner in the skinners!

Most just get better through trial and error.

Helpful! Thanks!
I hate myself I'm playing this game like i only get one chance to play it and I can't accept the fact that I'm doing stuff horribly wrong
Horse is Mind
On my first playthrough and I bought the gun..but I feel like it's a scam. Sure I have 8 bullets for it but the gun was already damaged when I got it and if I'm attacked by more than one person then it's unlikely I'll make it out alive. I'm debating selling if haha. I guess if I wanted to I could save scam but that ruins the experience. Hmmmm decisions decisions
it's best to go into the game blind, and then check for the tips after the first run.
Um bro
how in the world am I supposed to finish the game blind?
I am currently playing and reloading the 6th day over and over again for past couple of 20 real time hours.
I am honestly at a loss how I can balance all of these meters and still do this stupid Hospital crap.
Wish me luck.
@@redfox_hh8046 I feel like I got soft locked really hard on my first run and stopped playing the game for over a year. I recently picked up the game again with new save and lowered the hell out of the difficulty settings. I just don't want to get soft locked again even though game tries to tell me it's not how the game is supposed to be played. I want to finish it too.
@@EPE77U bro. I finished the game. I learned one crucial thing while playing.
Slight spoiler but a very important tip:
You need to learn to let go. Just try to survive. You can't save everyone or can't be everywhere. Don't let your aspirations get in the way of your own survival. I finished the first save (the one I thought impossible with 50 deaths) (by the way there is a second mechanical trick that helps a lot but a friend of mine said it was cheating but I don't think it is:
You can regenerate HP as well as exhaustion while you sleep that means as long as you can stay out of fights your HP bar is an extention of your exhaustion-meter so you can save a lot of recourses with that trick. That amount to about 2 to 4 hours each day. It is really really op.
Good luck my fellow doctor. May your list prosper and your town become healthy again.
Be Karthagna.
May your kin fair well.
@@redfox_hh8046 Thanks for the tips! It's a really hard game which bothers me a bit because I really love to explore the town and it's full of mysteries. I realize I can't solve everything in one run but I also don't feel like starting all over again after I finish this one. But maybe in the future.
Yes, a pistol bullet has minimul stoping power, BUT it's stil kills with a single headshot
No spoilers I'm on day 8 on PS4 I've learnt a lot but hardly saved anyone shall I restart the game?
The game's made to provide a relevant experience regardless of how successful you are. If you didn't save a lot of people, it's going to be different, but just as interesting
@@bitterleafcastle1552 yeh thanks,got to day 10 was struggling for food so I restarted and lowered the difficulty settings to the lowest possible.im now on day 7 but still can't find food.lol.
@@bitterleafcastle1552 time for my criticism oh where to start, it needs to load to search a bin wtf.its crashed on me twenty times and I've had a good barter and have food and am running to save.the constant reloading of other areas is ballbteaking.its made me turn that nadty I offed a kid in a house for food then the shopkeeper walked in and sold me a cheap apple, the big question will I play path 3 in this state I'm afraid no,, I could go on for hours.frustration does not equal class.
I think the hardest part is getting food
After getting infected, I feel like I’m fucked. Starving hasn’t bothered me as much so far.
If there’s red in the immunity meter, you’re infected. How much depends on how much red is there.
willie html It will say “infected” and the immunity bar will be replaced with a infected bar. DON’T do it!
Once infected your health CONSTANTLY drains (I guess it just depends on how bad your infection is I’m not sure on the game mechanics regarding infection) and you will die unless you constantly take medicine...
In other words now you’ll have to take medicine (antibiotics, etc) just as often as food, sometimes more often. In my case I took 2-3 antibiotics and still died within 5-10 mins from the infection.
I went back to a previous save (not get infected) as trying to fight both hunger and infection meters was too difficult in my game.
So yeah best just to not get infected lol.
Great video, thanks!
7:11 Time to visit Mark
My like was the 666. lol thx for the Guide! Just bought the Game because of your LP :)
Is Saburov’s house safe to store things in?
Первый раз я свалился на 8-м дне, умирая одновременно от голода, усталости и инфекции ))
Hey, how do you sneak? Is there a crouch button?
Yeah, it should be left control or left shift, I think?
@@SulMatul it's C and you have to hold it
Bruh, thanks
are you named after a morrowind character
ok but how do I save_
Interact with the grandfather clocks in important people's houses
I always die in this game I’m struggling so much :(
I like this game but it pisses me off so much
I think you mean "I like this game, it pisses me off so much!"
Why am I watching this?
I passed every day perfectly, had huge supplies of everything necessary for the final, and also did not encounter serious difficulties during the game
The game is best played at the intended most difficult setting. 😉
Do yu know that there is also the option to increase the difficulty to be higher than the intended one.
So if you need a challenge, just do it.
