The world of Where Winds Meet is a dangerous place that’s not only filled with wandering bandits, roving wolves and tai-chi practicing bears, but poisons plants and harsh conditions which can leave your character with permanent ailments and diseases which can get worse before they get better.
Luckily though, you only have to go through the same process to save yourself from both broken bones and the sniffles, so here’s how to cure diseases and ailments in Where Winds Meet.
How to cure diseases, sprains and illnesses in Where Winds Meet
There are lots of different ways to get afflicted with a disease in Where Winds Meet. It could be from standing too close to a glut of poisonous plants and mushrooms for too long, an errant bite from some carnivorous or venomous animal, or even forgetting to land properly when falling from too great a height.
However, to heal all of these different ailments, you need to do the same thing: Go and visit the doctor’s office in your hometown of Heaven’s Pier in the sub-area known as Still Shore.
The Everest clinic is situated to the southwest of the middle of Heaven’s Pier, at the top of a hill shielded from the sea by a large cliff face.
When you arrive at the clinic, while Dr Yuan is off on one of his apparently typical jaunts somewhere where no one can find him, his assistant, Yao Yaoyao, is more than happy to provide her healing touch and alleviate any pain or sickness you’re feeling.
She’s also the same NPC who can upgrade the amount and potency of healing potions your main character can carry, so she’s a good person to get acquainted with.
Why do you need to heal your diseases in Where Winds Meet?
Aside from the immediate negative effects like reduced stats and constant health damage, curing your diseases and ailments in Where Winds Meet is more important than you might first realise.
Similar to some survival games you might have played, diseases and injuries have a shifting prognosis which can get worse as well as better. For example, what starts as a minor sprain which affects endurance recovery after a hard landing (where you don’t press L3 to slam safely to the ground) can escalate into a more troubling injury with harsher negative effects.
By that same token however, sometimes things do just get better by themselves, so you need to weigh up the chances of breaking off from your current activity to go and get yourself treated.
