Notes

As one can see, the range of effects received after activating a Curio is quite wide. You should watch yourself and not open everything you can. You should especially avoid:

  1. Stack of Books, opening which can have grave consequences after using torch (100 stress will immediately cause panic or a heart attack if the stress will reach 200)
  2. Sarcophagus - 60% chance for reward is too little when there is 20% chance for getting a very troublesome negative Quirk
  3. Iron Maiden - you should never use it without the required item (Medicinal Herbs) - there is a great chance for getting illness and reducing character's effectiveness
  4. Decorative Urn - as above, activating without an item can give you small reward or infect you with an illness

The other Curio that can be found here are worth the risk - especially the Altar of Light and Suit of Armor which can increase character's statistics and the effect will last till the end of the mission or till rest.
