Sedatives ❘ 鎮静剤	Consumable

In-Game Description Liquid medicine concocted at Byrgenwerth. Calms the nerves. Those who delve into the arcane fall all-too-easily to madness, and thick human blood serves to calm the frayed nerves of these inquisitive minds. Naturally, this often leads to a reliance on blood ministration. Note: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Effects Sedatives reduce your Frenzy build-up. Once Frenzy builds up fully, you'll suffer 70% of your maximum HP in damage, which will often result in death. Worse still, Frenzy can continue to build up even after you escape from the source. Often, you'll need to use more than one Sedative over the course of a fight with enemies such as Winter Lanterns, You won't be able to buy them until late in the game, so save the Sedatives you find and make sure they're in your quick inventory slots when you need them! Sedatives have also lesser known effect of reducing your Beasthood build-up to 0, using it this way is more situational than in case of a Frenzy but if you are in need of getting your defences back to full value and lost of beasthood bonus to your attacking damage is sacrifice you are willing to make, Sedatives could be helpful. Status Ailments are often more deadly than normal attacks. It is always better to avoid such affliction, as curing ailments in the middle of a battle can be tricky. Still, you will inevitably need to deal with status ailments at some point. When you are exposed to a status ailment, its associated bar will begin to fill up; when it is completely full, the status will be inflicted. You can cure it before the bar fills to prevent the ailment. Note that Frenzy (and Rapid Poisoning) must be cured before the HP Loss occurs, as the damage is instantaneous. This means that fighting foes that inflict either of these requires you to be very careful. Sometimes, if you haven't used an Antidote or Sedative before engaging them, it might already be too late. If an enemy kills you very quickly and you're unsure why, these status ailments are possibly the cause.
