Eldritch Altars can be found occasionally in rooms in any of the four major regions, and remove a negative quirk when Holy Water is used on them.

The most reliable of these require the correct supply item to be used on the curio for the desired effect: Several curios found in the dungeons will remove random negative quirks on the Hero interacting with the curio. Like reinforced positive quirks, these quirks will not be replaced when new quirks are earned.Īll reinforced quirks may be removed at the Sanitarium, but at a much higher expense. If a negative quirk is left untreated for long enough over the course of several expeditions, it also has a chance of becoming reinforced and locked in. Using the Sanitarium for quirks tends to be expensive, and like all other Hamlet facilities is a factor of the hero's level - overall, positive quirk treatment is more expensive than negative quirk treatment. A total of three positive quirks may be reinforced. Removal and reinforcement of quirks at the Sanitarium must be done one at a time, per type of quirk - you may not remove more than one negative quirk per week, nor can you reinforce more than one positive quirk per week, though you can do one of both. Quirks may be modified by using the Sanitarium in the Hamlet, which allows you to expend gold to either remove a quirk (positive or negative), or to permanently 'lock in' a positive quirk, which prevents it from being replaced when new quirks are earned. After this, if a hero gains an additional quirk, a random existing quirk will be replaced, denoted by two spiralling arrows next to the new quirk (these arrows may be hovered over to see what quirk got replaced).

Quirks may also occur as a result of partaking in stress relief buildings in the Hamlet via the Tavern and Abbey.Ī character can possess a maximum of ten quirks - five positive and five negative. Heroes recruited from the Stage Coach will possess a random set of quirks - at least one positive and one negative.Īdditional quirks, positive and negative, are gained during expeditions by interacting with curios, and after expeditions in the post-expedition screen. An Occultist having both the Gambler and Known Cheat quirks, effectively preventing him from benefiting from stress relief facilities until cured in the Sanitarium.
