Outward is a survival RPG in which you have to do more than simply run around the open world completing quests. There are weapons to craft, enemies to fight, and environmental dangers to be wary of. Your character can get sick in the game too. Here’s everything you need to know about how to cure disease in Outward.

You pick up diseases in the game by doing things like staying out in the cold for too long, being injured by certain animals, or drinking contaminated water. All the different effects, which can be things like losing a certain amount of health per minute, are permanent, but it is quite simple to cure yourself.

You cure disease in Outward by consuming potions/drinks that are intended for certain ailments. The list of diseases and the cure is down below.

  • Common Cold/Acute Cold – Reduces stamina by 15/30% and is cured by a Soothing Tea.
  • Infection/Acute Infection/Extreme Infection – Sees you lose 3, 7, and 10% of your health respectively per minute. Cured by Bitter Spicy Tea.
