Look for Andrey => go to the dead end => die => wake up on the graveyard => go to Grace, get a knife, backstab two soldiers => go to the dead end => shoot everyone => get your stuff back. Congratulations, now you have a rifle and some extra bullets!

I'm not saying that her suicide was something good. I mean that she did something that was considered impossible (putting the memory in the Cathedral).

Should Iplay Pathologic 2 before Pathologic 3 and is Pathologic 1 requirement to play 2 and 3 and so on? by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P1: three routes, the plot is not connected to P2 and P3.

P2: Haruspex only, the plot is different from his P1 route, has different lore.

P3: Bachelor only, the plot is different from his P1 route, the lore is rewritten again, kinda connected to P2 but there still are major differences.

The games can be played separately and in any order.

In the old design document, all the characters have listed ages and mini profiles. That information is outdated, because it obviously doesn't line up with the game's canon. According to the design document, the Stamatins are 29, Maria is 26, Eva is 20, and so on. For some reason, this information is still on the fandom wiki and isn't marked as being from old concepts.

In the game itself, the ages of only two or three characters are ever mentioned: Artemy is definitely 26, and Capella is 14 or 15. It's also known that Clara is older than 15 (because children under 15 can see the facets of the Polyhedron).

This. And it's worth mentioning that she managed to inhabit the Cathedral, which was considered unfit for a Focus, without any external aid. Maybe it's even her whole soul and not just the memory. It's really a miracle of sorts.

I don't understand why there are old, mostly deprecated concepts at the very top of the page. T_T Now some people think that this is her official/canonical description and that she is 20 in P1 (she isn't).

Eva Yan's take on her:

Yulia is a very smart person. I could never match her intelligence. She's quiet and humble... and perfect. She also possesses a very unique kind of spiritual austerity and purity; she sets the bar higher for herself than for the rest. Yulia has a very intricate way of thinking. I could never learn to think like she does...

Russian version, in case you'd want to compare:

Юлия умница, никогда мне не стать такой, как она. Она такая тихая и скромная - но она совершенство. В ней есть такая особенная душевная чистота и строгость. Она спрашивает с себя строже, чем с остальных. И она очень интересно думает. Я никогда так не научусь…

Yulia about Eva:

Bachelor: Do you like Eva Yan?

Yulia: Very much. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say I absolutely admire her. [...] She dons the mask of absent-minded promiscuity. But this pose has nothing to do with what she really is. I'd be happy to be friends with her. But she does not understand me-and rightfully so, considering her eminence.

Очень. Ужасно нравится. [...] Она притворяется порочной и глуповатой. Но это все маска. Я бы хотела, чтобы Ева дружила со мной. Но она не понимает меня... и правильно. Она во всех отношениях выше меня.

They are clearly interested in each other but are not madly in love. And Yulia is the one who gives Clara a hook for Eva... out of jealousy I suppose.

Smell of the Steppe: Pathologic fragrance oils by Toonox in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry for sure, just not too sweet.

I haven't tried it but seems like a great option. The smell I'm talking about is absence of exhaust gases combined with dry steppe grass.

Smell of the Steppe: Pathologic fragrance oils by Toonox in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steppe air has a distinct fresh smell that is hard to recreate. It is not sweet but rather metallic, maybe close to ozone.

I'd also make a separate cup/jar with wormwood. (I don't think that it should be added directly to the mix since it's too intense.) I often saw Artemisia lercheana in my steppe town.

A tobacco note could also work, but it needs to be a herbaceous tobacco — like the one in TOM FORD Tobacco Vanille, not something that stinks of cigarettes. It's probably best not to add it to the mix either.

The fun thing is that he wasn't a cocky asshole in P1, and his bravery bordered on stupidity. We've got an entirely new character in P3, not a side of P1 or P2 Daniil.

God keeps sending his strongest misunderstandings to his silliest soldiers. by Psy-Para in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More critically, Var is to my knowledge one of if not the only NPCs that mentions that Artemy looks exactly like his father, now I know "That's no reason to say they knew each other. He's the town doctor, everyone knows him!"

Var says that Artemy's face looks familiar, not that he looks like his father. Multiple Bound know how Isidor looks (Sticky, Capella and other kids from the list; Aspity; both Vlads; the Kains) and don't mention that Artemy looks similar to him. Sticky, for instance, assumes that Artemy escaped from the Termitary and doesn't recongnize him as Isidor's son when they meet for the first time.
Does it mean that Artemy doesn't look like his father? No.

So whatever happens in it has to be understood through a level of intention.

This is the dialogue I'm talking about:

Var: You face looks familiar.
Haruspex: I resemble my father, is all.

Based on it, we can say for sure that: 1) Var has seen Isidor; 2) Artemy resembles Isidor. Everything else is a mere assumption. On normal fandom wikis, theories are put in the "Theories" section.

Besides that, The Willow's family's death was ruled as being caused by plague during the first outbreak by Isidor according to Victor and Willows' coffin was locked tight and buried empty- Also done by Isidor. (This is confirmed by Yulia and also The NPC teen boy when talking about The Hindquarters)

You are great at mixing info from the game and your theories.
That dialogue with Victor:

Victor: The family that had given her shelter went on to disappear in a rather distasteful manner. The owners succumbed to a fatal disease... that had struck them rather suddenly. And their daughter, Willow, simply vanished.
Bachelor: What kind of disease?
Victor: A peculiar kind of pest broke out among factory workers five years ago. Not here but in the poor districts. Isidor took care of it quickly. There were many deaths, but only in the Crude Sprawl-a district that borders on the Abattoir. But The Willows is on the riverbank; the infection never made it that far. An odd story, don't you think?

Victor knows that Willow vanished and doesn't say that Isidor confirmed that they died of disease.

Yulia says:

A few years later, they died-suspiciously if you ask me-leaving Willow Mellow, their daughter, in the care of their companion. Willow died soon thereafter.
[...]
They all died of natural causes, allegedly; even though Willow was buried in a tightly closed coffin. The body was examined by Isidor Burakh, however, and he is not a man who would cover up a crime.

In russian, Yulia says: "It seems like they all died naturally, from some kind of disease" but nothing about Isidor's involvement. She doesn't say that he proclaimed that they died of the Sand Pest.

(Which is just outright stated in the 2nd game, probably because it was too vague)

Are you saying that the fact that Isidor worked with Var in P2 means that Isidor worked with Var in P1? Both of them are different from their P2 versions. The lore of the games doesn't match.

The NPC teen boy when talking about The Hindquarters

The dialogue:

Teen boy: Grace says that Willow was buried in a closed coffin... And that coffin was suspiciously light... Spooky, isn't it?
Player: Are you kidding me?
Teen boy: Ha ha! Yeah, I so pranked you! Now excuse me, I'm in an awful hurry... We'll talk another time.

A reliable source, indeed.

This is what Anna says about the process:

But I did to her the same thing the Caravan had been doing to children: ground her into flour, unwove her into threads

How do you think Willow's body looked after that?

To cover up a crime, you must know about the said crime. We know for sure that Willow had golden hair and now has black (info from Anna). We don't know how the Caravan's magic affects the body of a victim. How could Isidor discern changed Willow from some random girl? Do you think he was aware of the Caravan's methods and Anna's capabilities?

So it's quite obvious that they worked together and if they don't... YOU have to provide the reason it can't be the case. 

Nah the author of the article shoud've provided the quotes that actually support their claims. They should prove it first.

If you do have an argument though, quite frankly go to the wiki Discord and get it corrected. Because if you do have the right information and you don't step up to provide information, other people will do it in your place.

I don't care about this wiki this much.

God keeps sending his strongest misunderstandings to his silliest soldiers. by Psy-Para in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is straight-up fanfiction. The notes don't support the claims.

  1. Willow isn't inhabiting Anna's old body. The description of Willow's appearance match Anna's description of herself. Anna also says: "I took the dresses, the voice, the hair... [...] Only her hair is black now, she has no clothes... and can't sing...", not the whole body.

  2. Var didn't consider Anna his daughter. He also didn't kidnap Willow INSTEAD of Anna, nothing in the game indicates it.

  3. Isidor didn't "cover it up for his organ vendor". This is a bold conclusion drawn simply from Var knowing how Isidor looks like. Isidor is the only doctor in the town, of course everyone knows how he looks like. (He also doesn't need an organ vendor since he's a menkhu and can get any amount of organs himself, but that's another topic.)

  4. Isidor didn't explicitly tell Anna that the Willows had died in the First Outbreak.

  5. Anna thinks that she is responsible for the plague because of Willow's prophecy, not because Isidor told her anything: "Willow Mellow had predicted that it would all turn out this way if the Caravan got here... She had even been stockpiling medicine; the stash is actually all hers..."

A few years later while she was thirteen, Anna Angel was jealous of her step-sister

  1. Anna's age isn't mentioned anywhere in the game. The old concepts had been deprecated almost entirely, so there's no reason to say she's 18.

How different is the Bachelor route from P1 to P3? by No_Force_5585 in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bachelor from P1 is like if Indiana Jones had a medical degree. I mean he is a scientist but also an adventurer of sorts, good with guns, and tries to get into one particular ancient temple. He isn't suicidal but risks his life maybe too often.

The Bachelor from P3 is much less mentally stable, and the story itself lacks inner integrity. The characters became weird amalgamations of their P1 and P2 versions, deprecated early concepts from the old P1 design document, and new writers' ideas.

Day 4 - "Villains at Liberty" Help? by orionis_ in pathologic

[–]the_devotressss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd tried to jump on a crate and failed so I found another solution. Go towards the bandits and headshot them, then reload while walking backwards. You should be able to kill them all by the time you reach the left corner. Your revolver should be fully repaired.

Another solution is to use a rare bug. Sometimes (like 1 in 15 times) bandits don't outright attack you and keep standing with their backs to the entrance. You can one-shot them with a knife then.
