Look at your provisions to see how many you have stockpiled. If no vials of The Blood are left when the mission is finished, the hero perishes as normal. Heroes left in the Hamlet while Wasting will automatically consume 1 vial of The Blood from your Provisions instead of dying. If a Wasting hero is given 1 vial of The Blood, the Crimson Curse will return to its Passive state.

If you give a hero 1 vial of The Blood while their curse is in the Passive state, they gain +7 DODGE and +3 SPD for 3 rounds. While in this state, heroes' stats change as follows: The Crimson Curse is in its Passive state when first contracted, and returns to this state when the thirst is slaked. They will also consume 1 vial of The Blood if any remains available in the Hamlet (Look at your provisions to see how many you have stockpiled from Expeditions). Heroes that remain in the Hamlet when you set out on an Expedition will have the curse state progress by 30 rounds, even if you immediately return from the Expedition. Those who are cursed are immune to all Diseases, and all diseases they had before are cured. When the Infestation reaches its peak, these random spawns will have a Gatekeeper carrying an Invitation.Дefeating said Gatekeeper will always grant the player one Invitation, but from the second round of combat, the monster can use 'Elusive Exit' to escape, denying the player the Invitation drop.Д«e wary, for the curse can spread while you're away from the Hamlet, and while in a dungeon, you may come across those who wish to end the curse by any means necessary.

The ability to cure it through the Sanitarium will become permanently available once the Countess is slain. The Curse is automatically removed from all heroes in your roster after slaying a Courtyard Boss.

It is only found in the Crimson Court DLC. The Crimson Curse is a persistent status effect, much like a disease (but can't be cured by camping skill Leeches and Snuff Box), that gives a hero unique conditions and may lead to the character's death if not treated.
