Disease (Darkest Dungeon II)

""We can't suffer no sickness on this pilgrimage.""

- -The Academic.

Diseases are negative conditions that heroes can contract during the entire expedition. Diseases are contracted mainly from enemies but can be contracted from other sources such as Academic's Studies and Inn items.

Diseases are harmful and their purpose is to incapacitate the hero and reduce his and his team's effectiveness. The player must learn to deal with the disadvantages and, if possible, get rid of the disease as soon as possible.

Dealing with diseases
Diseases are mainly treated in The Field Hospital, for the cost of 12 relics the player can get rid of any disease. They can also be treated with the Inn Item "Leeches".

Each hero can only contract one disease at a time. If a hero with one disease contracts another, it will simply replace the disease the heroe already had.
