Managing Toxicity While Brewing

Managing Toxicity While Brewing

Venomous Reach introduces a toxicity system that tracks poison levels in your body as you consume mutagens and toxic mixtures. While these concoctions grant powerful semi-permanent buffs and physical changes, excessive toxicity can harm you.

Start by crafting a Mortar and Pestle to grind wild alchemical plants into ingredients. Use these to brew weapon oils and mutagens at your lab station. Before consuming mutagens, check your Toxicity Gauge to avoid reaching dangerous levels.

The key is balance: consume enough mutagens to unlock perks and buffs, but monitor your toxicity carefully to prevent deadly overtoxing effects. Plan your brewing strategy around how much toxicity you can safely manage while still gaining the combat advantages these dark concoctions provide.
