In Barotrauma, you will encounter a mysterious faction known as the Church of the Shell. Here you will learn exactly what he preaches and the influence of Husk on humans.

Barotrauma version 1.0 features an expanded faction system. Among the groups you can join, you will find the Church of the Shell. Here you will learn what exactly their representatives believe. The shell parasite is also described.

Barotrauma – What is the shell church?

Church of Husk is one of the factions featured in the game. You can find their hideouts in some outposts. His beliefs are quite unique: they love the dangerous parasite called Husk. According to representatives of this group, symbiosis with this creature is the next stage of human evolution and is the key to survival in Europe.

Shell Church Hideout

Of course, like any other faction available in the game, you can be tasked with a number of tasks. By completing them, you will gain reputation. It will allow you to purchase from merchants affiliated with the Church of the Shell. Here you will find useful articles such as:

  1. Books Book of Chalices: The Three Metamorphoses and Book of Chalices: Becoming a Herald of the Tides containing the teachings of the factions;
  2. Envelope genetic material;
  3. Calyxanide which makes it possible to cure the parasitic infection (as long as it has not reached stage 4);
  4. Chalice extract, which can be used to infect someone with cascara.

Barotrauma: what is the shell parasite?

To fully understand the philosophy of the Church of the Carcass, one must become familiar with the creature they worship. Husk or actually Velonaceps Calyx is a parasite that lives in Europe. It infects all living organisms and slowly controls them. Infected individuals can be identified by three tentacles hanging from the head.

If you see creatures that fit this description, you need to be very careful. Any wound inflicted by an infected opponent can cause the parasite to transfer onto you. The likelihood of this depends on how much damage you take. For example, if you are bitten by a shell crawler, you have a 50% chance of contracting the parasite.

Barotrauma – course and treatment of skin infection

Shell infection progresses through 4 phases:

  1. The latent stage (up to 50 bar of disease progression) – It has no effect on the infected person. However, it can be detected. A player using the Health Scanner HUD can diagnose the infection when they reach a progress of 20.
  2. The active stage (between 50 and 75 strength from the disease progress bar) – causes the infected person to start having speech problems. If you use in-game chat, communication will be affected.
  3. The transformed stage (between 75 and 100 strength from the disease progress bar) – The sick person completely loses the ability to speak. If you are using in-game chat, none of the available communication options will work for you. The infected also gains the ability to breathe underwater and withstand pressure at any depth (Abbys being the exception).
  4. The final stage (on the progress bar of 100 diseases) – The character dies of internal injuries, only to rise again as a Husk after a while. At this point, the player no longer has control over the character.

As mentioned above. If the character does not reach the fourth stage of disease progression, they can be cured with Calyxanide.

However, there is a way to stop the infection progressing to the third stage, where you get the benefits, i.e. better health. Indeed, it can inject Husk genes, blocking the progression of the disease. The Gene Splicer is used for this purpose.
