Flesh

Flesh is found in corpses’ pockets: 5 of the 15 first-tier corpses carry 1 or 2. Picking a pocket at the Autopsy Table I never fails and needs no mastery.

Usually you should leave it where it is. Flesh carries a white skull, and white skulls are what a grave’s quality is capped by, so a body keeps its Flesh for burial (see Graveyard). That is the opposite of Fat and Blood, which carry red skulls and are better taken out.

Notes

  • Eating it raw unlocks the meat recipes. It gives 10 energy and adds 10 insanity, and the first bite gives you the Oh no! cooking technology: Baked meat at the Kitchen Oven and the Sandwich. Baking your first Baked meat then gives Anyway…, which adds Minced Meat at the Millstone.
  • It also goes into Live Bait, with Lacquer, and into the town Baker’s tier II and III upgrades, 4 and 8. It is an alchemy ingredient with one red rune.
  • The Baker sells it from its second tier, 10 and then 20.
  • Studying it costs 1 Science and 1 Faith and gives 10 blue.
