Diseases

Spoiler Warning: This page contains spoilers which may affect your IVAN experience negatively

Leprosy

"You feel you're falling in pieces."

This state will cause the players limbs to randomly drop off. You can get leprosy from the following sources:

• Eating leprosy infected meat.
• Being near a monster that has leprosy (such as a Zombie)
• Putting back a bodypart that is infected.

Leprosy can be cured with drinking antidote liquid, praying to Seges when she is in a good mood, or by visiting the Priestess in New Attanam. The Priest of Valpurus in the Cathedral can cure it too but it costs more.

Lycanthropy

A state where you turn into a Werewolf occasionally. Eating werewolf flesh certainly will, or drinking from a fountain may cause this.

Parasites

If you see the message "Ugh. You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines." you have been infiltrated by a parasite. Every time this message appears, you lose some HP.

You can get contaminated by multiple reasons:

• Eating spoiled food
• Kobolts and Goblins might have them, so don't eat them if they're rotten.
• Drinking from a fountain may cause this.
• Black unicorns

You can get rid of parasites by:

• Vomiting until the game says that you notice the dead parasite in the vomit
• Drinking antidote liquid
• Ultimately, if the previous won't help, by drinking Sulphuric acid. This'll kill you though, if you don't have a strong acid resistance
