Embalming corpses

[Lazh]

Hello everyone
I don't have the technlogy yet to embalm corpses but I have some questions:
- Does the game allow you to embalm corpses before or after removing body parts or it does not matter?
- If I burried a corpse, can I exhume it to apply embalming fluid and then burry it once again?
Thank you

1. It doesn't matter.
2. You can do it.

You can embalm before and after removing parts.

You can embalm exhumed corpses.

I would only embalm corpses that i can make perfect with 12 white skulls and no reds.

5 White & 2 Red

• Dark injection = +2 Red = 6 White & 4 Red
  
• Glue Injection = +1 White = 6 White & 4 Red
  
• Lye Injection = +1 White & +1 Red = 7 White & 5 Red
  
• Silver Injection = +1 White & -1 Red = 8 White & 4 Red
  
• Gold Injection = +2 White & -2 Red = 10 White & 2 Red
  
• Remove Blood = +1 White & -1 Red = 11 White & 1 Red
  
• Remove Fat = +1 White & -1 Red = 12 White & 0 Red

5 White & 3 Red

• Remove Skull = +1 Red = 6 White & 4 Red
  
• Glue Injection = +1 White = 6 White & 4 Red
  
• Lye Injection = +1 White & +1 Red = 7 White & 5 Red
  
• Silver Injection = +1 White & -1 Red = 8 White & 4 Red
  
• Gold Injection = +2 White & -2 Red = 10 White & 2 Red
  
• Remove Blood = +1 White & -1 Red = 11 White & 1 Red
  
• Remove Fat = +1 White & -1 Red = 12 White & 0 Red

5 White & 4 Red

• Glue Injection = +1 White = 6 White & 4 Red
  
• Lye Injection = +1 White & +1 Red = 7 White & 5 Red
  
• Silver Injection = +1 White & -1 Red = 8 White & 4 Red
  
• Gold Injection = +2 White & -2 Red = 10 White & 2 Red
  
• Remove Blood = +1 White & -1 Red = 11 White & 1 Red
  
• Remove Fat = +1 White & -1 Red = 12 White & 0 Red

Any 5 White corpses with more than 4 Red and you'll need to start removing important parts first. You can save scum and see what each will give or you can get the Cultist perk to see what they give.

Why to embalming? Why do I get for embalming?

Thank you for your answers
"I would only embalm corpses that i can make perfect with 12 white skulls and no reds."
For that do you need the corpses that are with 2 red skulls and 4 white skulls?

You need min 5 white skulls, and min 2 red skulls to make perfect 12 white skulls corpse.

Hum...there are few things that i don't understand. I'll take the first example:

• I never managed to get such a corpse. The best that I found was 2 red and 4 white.
  Do I need to go even further beyond (Goku do you hear me?) in the game to get such corpses?
  
• Why using dark injections? Does the game prevent you from using other injections if you don't have enough red skulls?

Do you know that the game allows you to get free grave points if you have a negative number of red skulls? I am asking this question because your option does not seem to use that. I'll explain in an exemple with my playthrough.
As I said I get only corpses with 4 white 2 red in the best case scenario. What I do is the following thing:

• Find the right organ to remove between heart brain and bowel = -2 Red Skull = 4 White & 0 Red
  
• Remove Blood & Fat = +2 White & -2 Red = 6 White & -2 Red

I cannot embalm yet so I cannot do more
That way, when I bury a body, I instantly get a grave with +2 grave points (because of the -2 Red Skull) and if I decorate the grave I can go up to 8 grave points.

If I could embalm here is what I would do (I suppose some thing are not possible otherwise you would have tried before). I'll take your exemple with 5 White and 2 Red:

• Find the right organ to remove between heart brain and bowel = -2 Red Skull = 5 White & 0 Red
  
• Remove Blood & Fat = +2 White & -2 Red = 7 White & -2 Red
  
• Acid injection = -1 White & -1 Red = 6 White & -3 Red
  
• Glue injection = +1 White = 7 White & -3 Red
  
• Silver injection = +1 White -1 Red = 8 White & -4 Red
  
• Gold injection = +2 White -2 Red = 10 White & -6 Red

That way, when I bury the corpse I would get instant 6 grave points (because of the -6 red) and I could add 10 grave points which would give up to 16 grave points.

You get corpses with more skulls as you upgrade the church. You must have just opened it if you only getting 6 skulls max.

You will need to have at least 1 red skull for the silver and 2 red for the gold, or they don't work.

Yes, negative red skulls give a bonus to the grave rating, not the corpse. Good for when you first start.


3 White & 1 red - Remove blood and fat will give a 4 white corpse with an additional +1 bonus when buried.

4 White & 2 Red

• Remove brain (or whatever) = -2 Red = 4 white & 0 Red
  
• Remove blood = 4 White & -1 Red
  
• Remove fat = 4 White & -2 Red

When buried in an undecorated grave it should give a 2 grave rating. The decorated grave rating will still only ever be maxed at 4 though.

• Embalming allows you to change red and white skulls to get a better corpse (juste like when you remove some organs like fat blood and the right organ between heart bowel and brain).
  
• You need to unlock the church to get to the alchemy lab. Once you have it you need tier 2 Alchemy Worbench because all the alchemy ingredients required to embalm bodies need the tier 2 Alchemy Worbench

All except the Dark Injection, which requires Alchemy bench 1 (2 slots)

Gold and Silver are rare, they should be saved for a corpse you can make perfect with 12 white skulls.

I have upgraded the church once and still get 6 skulls max (maybe I need the cathedral?)

I guessed it was the problem otherwise nobody would use dark injections.

Ahah you are right I never noticed :D

You unlocked the West side? That could give you extra skulls on the corpses.

I get 4 skull corpses until I unlock the church, then i get 6. Seem logical to think you'd get more upgrading the church further.

[Lazh]

Yes I have unlocked the west side.
The only moment when I saw a difference in the corpse rating was before the episcop let me go inside the church and after. Otherwise nothing changed the amount of skulls in the corpses.
Thank you for eveything :)
You answered all my questions including the ones I did not thought I had in the first place :D

[Los]

once i unlocked dark organs i saw a noticeable jump on corpse rating even on corpses that did not have any dark organs
