Main Info

The signs

1. The first time you summon a pawn that has the disease, a pop up will open explaining it. It looks like this:

2. An infected pawn will be mean to you in their dialogue.

(“Don’t tell me what to do!” is one of their lines I think).

And your other pawns will notice their sass and comment on it.

3. Infected pawns will play an idle animation where they clutch their head in pain.
4. Infected pawn will disobey some of your commands, as they mention early on when warning you about the curse.
5. Infected pawns will have big glowing red eyes that pulse every 4 seconds.

Beware of pawns wearing helmets or glasses or masks! You may not notice!

Actions and Consequences

The solution

Simply dismiss the Infected pawn OR have the disease pass onto another pawn OR have the pawn die.

You could always try throw them into deep water for an instant kill or wait out the bleed out timer if you’re too far away from a Rift.

What happens if you don’t:

Apparently, they turn into a ******** shadow dragon and kill a large amount of NPCs! It can take 7 in-game days before all hell to break loose.

Players say they slept in a town and woke up to most of the town’s NPC’s being dead.
Which can completely lock you out of some interesting quests.

You’ll have to use your Wakestones to revive them but it’s important to know that the bodies in the crypt are gone forever after 3 days.

Best practice is not to delay.

Extra Info:

• You can’t cure it with in-game items.
