The Combat FAQ connects zero HP with being downed and receiving Deep Wounds or being killed.
Downed-state treatment
Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds
Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds describe the dangerous downed condition that can follow zero HP. The official FAQ names a Sterilized Bandage and a mage's Cleansing Waters as treatments, while the public status card warns that being knocked while wounded causes death from blood loss. This Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds guide keeps that treatable state separate from permanent death.
Verified5 primary source routes · checked 2026-09-13Official Discord and the public item card both name the bandage as a cure.
Official Discord names the spell; its current card specifies removal on a Critical Cast.
The public Deepwound card warns that a knock while wounded is fatal.

Sterilized Bandage
Rare
Read all Sterilized Bandage requirements, effects and limits
Published details
“A tightly wrapped, herb-treated bandage that seals torn flesh and covers wounds before they fester.” - Game Description Removes Deep Wounds. Crafted with 1 Lility and 3 Rags, or bought at town for 10 silver.
Practical route
Putting it into practice
- 01
Confirm the character is downed, not dead
Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds remain a condition that official sources say can be removed. A dead party member is outside that treatment path because current revival is not available.
- 02
Use the published direct item
The Sterilized Bandage card says it removes Deep Wounds, uses 1 Lility and 3 Rags when crafted, or costs 10 silver in town. Those are public WIP card fields, not a guaranteed shop stock claim.
- 03
Verify the spell condition
The general FAQ lists Cleansing Waters as a mage treatment. The detailed card says its normal cast heals and reduces most debuffs, while a Critical Cast additionally removes Infection and Deepwound.
- 04
Avoid another knock until cured
The current public Deepwound card says a player knocked while carrying the condition dies from blood loss. Treat Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds before exposing that character to another fatal check.

Limits to keep in mind
- The official Combat answer does not publish the chance of receiving Deep Wounds instead of immediate death at zero HP.
- The public Trello is work in progress; the Emerald Ring prevention effect is not presented here as guaranteed live availability.
- No checked source publishes a natural expiration timer or says ordinary food removes Forgotten Stories Deep Wounds.
- A wound cure is not a resurrection method after permanent death.
