Anonymousthis is really useful against owl's 2nd phase to avoid a passive battle, just stand in the poison and keep on with the aggression

Unsure but does this increase the radius of the Judgment Cut part of the "One Mind" move from Shura ending? I observed a bit myself and was unsure.

Alll bout' dat Great Feather Mist Raven free reign goodness my friends. =D Thanks to this handy little self-inflicted poison DoT tick, You can create a hellstorm of smoke feathers and fire around groups of enemies with the fully upgraded mist raven, allowing for instant flash step and elemental proximity damage, so long as you have the Spirit Emblems to spare. Very handy to have on hand. I have to assume the game intends for this type of utilization, given the nature of the item description hinting as much..

If you use this after antidote powder it doesn't fully poison you, btw. Why you'd want to do that i dont know but...

Important hint that I found on reddit, if you use contact medicine, you can activated Mist Raven on command instead of waiting for an attack. Maybe because the game sees the minor poison damage as incoming attack. And you have the "Some shinobi also use this medicine for a specific technique. Poison is said to expand the mind." as a hint. Hope it helps!

so useful for traversing the poison swamp, but there isnt much poison swamp in this game and majority of it can be skipped by grappling

Anyone figured out the "specific technique" or "expand your mind" part of this?

I got this from killing the "rats" that your asked to kill after horse boss (the short things with shield hats)
Remember, exposure to very mild illness can help ward off more serious complications, safe and effective.
