Useful Info
Ancient zymes are pestilential floating things which inflict sickness by their mere presence. Thankfully, they are not especially durable. They can be found in the Abyss.
Tips & Tricks
- Undead and nonliving characters are immune to the passive sickness and can largely ignore ancient zymes. For everyone else, a potion of cancellation or Elyvilon's Purification ability will remove the status if necessary.
