In Where Winds Meet, Rabies is a beast-related injury you catch from beasts. It's part of the illness system that treats injuries and diseases as semi‑realistic consequences of how you explore and fight. You are meant to think about risk before engaging wildlife, diving into dangerous zones, or abusing movement. Here's everything you need to know about it - how you get it, how to cure it, and how to prevent getting it in the first place in Where Winds Meet.

Why you get Rabies in Where Winds Meet

Rabies activates from direct wolf or rabid beast interactions, such as bites during fights or deliberate provocation. The illness system ties rabies to enemy types, stacking with repeated exposures in beast-heavy areas. If you approach wildlife casually, especially beasts and wolves, you're more likely to trigger it.
