Notes
While traveling through the Cove you must watch out for far more Curio, especially if you're lacking items needed for activating them. Most of all you must avoid contact with:
- Bas Relief - a high chance for receiving negative Quirk or a disease
- Brackish Tide Pool and Fish Carcass - high chance for infecting the character with a serious disease (Red Plague greatly reduces character's effectiveness)
- Fish Idol - avoid this Curio if you don't have the required item (Holy Water). Activation always ends with a negative effect and in half of the situations it will greatly reduce your character's effectiveness.
Excluding Bas Relief which you shouldn't touch at all (activation using the torch increases stress by 100 points!), all other Curio can be activated when you have proper items.
