Notes

Getting beat up by the lake serpent in the sewer hideout gives the following:

As the world fades to black, the serpent bends down to feast on your flesh and bones, cracking away at them hungrily.

Although the wounds are already sealing when you awaken, it makes the experience no less unpleasant.

You've gained 5 energy of Broken Bone.

Or, if you run away successfully (kills more guards in the Trio of Guards encounter if you add Eclipse to the coffee):

You escape the serpent's pursuit.

The massive serpent howls with terrible hunger.

You feast on the serpent's flesh, regaining x Energy.

As you continue to stare at the mirror the shapes become solid somehow. You found: loose scales
