The Crystal Thorn reduces irradiation by 20% but increases bleeding as well by 100%.
Acquisition[]
The Crystal Thorn can be found in the following stashes:
- Secret stash in the Bar area
- Chest in Dark Valley
- Secret stash under the cross in Wild Territory
- Seriy's secret stash in Agroprom
- Log in the forest in the Garbage.
One is located in a packing case in the loading bay of the Bandit base in the Dark Valley: go through the main warehouse past the unconstructed area until you get into the room with a Y shaped set of stairs. Go down to the bottom floor, and behind this set of stairs is a doorway that leads to a room with an exit to outside. Instead of going outside, look behind the indestructible crates for a single breakable one, the crystal thorn is in that box.
