bionic liver is a moderate cost cybernetic implant which upon installation grants the user complete immunity to poison damage and related effects as well as protection against all diseases.

The disease protection applies to glotrot, monochrome and ironshank. As long as the implant is installed, the user will be unable to contract any of the three onset conditions or the diseases themselves through the random effect inflicting attack of zero jells or from stepping in dilute warm static. Additionally, any currently incubating diseases will be prevented from advancing to the next stage, even if the user would have otherwise failed the required Toughness saves. This protection however, does not extend to diseases which have already fully manifested, necessitating that the user seek out traditional means of treatment.

Despite the similarity to diseases, Fungal infections and their onset condtion are not prevented by bionic liver.

The poison immunity prevents the user from being afflicted with the poisoned status effect, nullifies any direct poison damage and allows the user to freely walk through clouds of poison gas without taking damage or suffering from status effects. In addition, the implant will neutralize the effects of certain poison-based attacks employed by some creatures. Such attacks include: The paralyzing stinger used by scorpiocks, the stony effect inflicted by the bite of molting basilisks and lithofexes and the venom possessed by phase spiders.


Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

  • Can make the Moon Stair marginally safer to explore
  • Being immune to poisonous gas can allow the user to detonate poison gas grenades as a mostly safe blocking tool, hostile creatures will generally (though not always) attempt to avoid pathing into poisonous gas. Allowing the user to throw a grenade

Disadvantages

  • Outside of the early game, creatures capable of inflicting poison or spreading diseases are rare, limiting the usefulness of resisting either.
  • Moderate cost can be a bit prohibitive depending on the user's license tier and build goals.
  • Takes up the highly competitive body slot while only offering a fairly niche albeit situationally powerful bonus.

Golgotha considerations

Golgotha relative to other static locations contains an expectational number of threats which in some fashion employ poison

Tips
