Item	Where	Use
Family Photo	1 · Prologue · The Winters' House In your inventory from the start: Ethan carries it (a picture of Mia and Rose).	It has one use: put it in the letterbox at Beneviento's Grave (House Beneviento entry, chapter 6). It opens the Elevator Passage Lower, the lift up to House Beneviento. Key items sit in their own tab (Key Items) and take no case slots, so there is no need to discard it.
Bolt Cutters	2 · The Village (1st visit) · Lycan Ambush · Luiza's House Old Man's House (Village): on the shelves in the area behind the curtain, in the house of the old man who gives you the LEMI, after the first Lycan fight.	Cut the chain on the gate in Old Man's Back Yard: the way into East Old Town.
Maiden Crest	2 · The Village (1st visit) · Lycan Ambush · Luiza's House Church (Village): on the altar.	One of the two crests for the gate in the NW corner of the village (the Graveyard, on the way to the castle): it goes in the left slot. The other is the Demon Crest.
Truck Key	2 · The Village (1st visit) · Lycan Ambush · Luiza's House Luiza's House: in the drawer of the bench with the sink in the kitchen (guides describe it as the room next to the garage).	The game makes you examine it: turn the keychain to the pouch and you get the Screwdriver. Then use it on the red truck in the garage of Luiza's House: it starts, rams the wall and opens the way to the attic.
Screwdriver	2 · The Village (1st visit) · Lycan Ambush · Luiza's House Inside the pouch on the Truck Key's keychain: examine it in Key Items.	Opens the small wooden kiosk (the "little blue altar") in Luiza's Yard, next to the metal gates: the Demon Crest is inside.

Sanguis Virginis	4 · Castle Dimitrescu Kitchen (Castle 1F): inside the tub of blood in the middle of the kitchen, after the Bela fight.	Put it in the bottle stand with silver flowers on the south side of the Wine Room (2F): the secret area with the Courtyard Key opens. It is Dimitrescu's vintage ("maiden's blood"). The hint is the file Winemaking History, on the Wine Room's central table. In The Mercenaries it is Lady Dimitrescu's healing item.

After the Mask of Sorrow, the Hall of Pleasure and the Opera Hall can be done in either order. Do the Hall of Pleasure first: the Opera Hall leads on to the Atelier and the Attic, so you avoid backtracking.
Severed Hand	4 · Castle Dimitrescu Dungeon (Castle B2): Lady Dimitrescu cuts off Ethan's right hand by the gate mechanism on the east side.	Pick it up and Ethan reattaches it. Until you do, you cannot heal: dodge Lady Dimitrescu, use the mechanism again and go for the Mask of Sorrow.
Mask of Sorrow	4 · Castle Dimitrescu Hall of Sorrow (Castle B2): on the statue in the middle, at the end of the Dungeon chase.	Mask 1 of 4 for the Hall of the Four (1F). Facing the door, left to right: Mask of Sorrow, Mask of Pleasure, Mask of Joy and Mask of Rage.

Dirty Flask	4 · Castle Dimitrescu Tower of Worship Crypt (Castle B1): on the altar on the south side, after Mutated Dimitrescu.	Take it to open the way out. The Duke identifies it at the Altar (chapter 5) and it becomes the Head Flask. It bears the flower-and-swords crest; it is too dirty to see inside.
Winged Key	5 · The Village (2nd visit) · The Red-Chimney House Cave Altar (River map): small chest on the altar in the middle, after the cutscene with the old woman.

First Aid Med 800	2 · The Village (1st visit) · Lycan Ambush · Luiza's House 9 fixed on Standard (same on Village of Shadows): - Old Man's House: breakable crate by the door (chapter 2). - Tower of Worship Battlements: barrels at the top of the NW stairs, right before Mutated Dimitrescu (chapter 4). - Drowned Houses (Reservoir): wooden cabinet on the north side (chapter 8). - Stronghold: barrel on the north side of the Main Hall B1 level, candlelit ledge on the west side of the Small Cavern's south chamber and alcove in the west wall of the Large Cavern (chapter 10). - Factory: metal desk NW in the Power Room and table NW in the Scrapheap (chapter 11). - Altar: large weapons crate SW, after the Factory. The Duke also sells it and the Survival Resources Pack includes 1.	Restores all of your health ("Medicine that fully heals all wounds"). Use it with the heal button (R on Control Type A) without opening the menu, or from the inventory with "Use". It does not work at full health, nor while you drive Heisenberg's self-propelled artillery (the tank at the end of chapter 11). Recipe: Herb + Chem Fluid Takes 2 slots. The Duke sells it for 1,000 Lei: crafting it is free, so save every Herb and Chem Fluid for this. In the red, back off before healing: near death your health creeps back up to yellow on every difficulty. Free scripted heals: on entering the castle and during House Beneviento. On Village of Shadows the Duke stocks 99. The challenge "Don't Trust That Snake Oil" (35,000 CP) asks you to finish the story using four or fewer recovery items (the LZ Answerer's green mode does not count).

Samcă and Haulers drop it.	It does not heal on its own: it is a crafting material. It goes into the First Aid Med, Explosive Rounds, Flashbang and Rocket Pistol Ammo (2 per recipe).

Material for the First Aid Med, Shotgun Ammo, Sniper Rifle Ammo, Flashbang and Rifle Ammo. With the Herb it is your healing: don't spend it on ammo if you are short on First Aid Meds.

In Shadows of Rose there are only 3 in the whole castle, and the "Craftsmaster" trophy needs 2 of them (Shotgun Ammo and a Pipe Bomb).
