Trivia[]
- This plant is based off the real life Cotton Thistle/Scotch Thistle, a plant that is associated with defense and protection in Scotland, thus its mostly defensive alchemical attributes.
- The base magnitude of the Resist Poison effect for this ingredient is 3 instead of 4 and its duration is 0 instead of 60. This is only relevant if beehive husk and thistle branch are combined, in which case the resulting potion will have a 50% smaller magnitude than a typical custom Resist Poison potion—the magnitude is controlled by the properties of the beehive husk effect.
