How To Upgrade Mithridatism Perk?
Now, when it comes to actually getting your hands on the Mithridatism perk and upgrading it, it can become quite a daunting task since there are Mithridatism Level Three to the perk, and you need to upgrade each once to the max to benefit from it fully.
- The first phase of the Mithridatism perk has to need to kill only one wolf spider, and while that may seem like an easy task to begin with, having to kill the one wolf spider is hell, to begin with.
Second Phase Wolf Spider (Image Credits Exputer) - You must kill five wolf spiders for the second phase, increasing the difficulty.
- As for the Mithridatism Level Three, you need to kill ten wolf spiders, through which you will be able to max out the Mithridatism perk, but having even to kill ten wolf spiders should be a feat in itself, and most players won’t bother to do it unless they want to get the benefit from the perk.
How Does The Mutation Work?
Moving on, now that you know what the Mithridatism does, let’s talk about how it can work and what it can protect you against.
- Anytime you fight an enemy that can inflict poison on you, it can damage you greatly.
- The main aim of the Mithridatism perk is to build up your immunity in a way that can allow you to become stronger against enemies such as the Wolf Spiders that can cause damage to you.
What Perks Are Best To Combine With Mithridatism?
Next up, a few perks might work excellently with Mithridatism and can help you become invincible against enemies such as the Wolf Spiders that would otherwise murder you on sight.
- Having a perk like Fresh Defense, which can enhance your resistance to gas and burning damage by 25%/50%, is an excellent addition, while it also buffs up your overall sizzle rate reduction by 25% and more.

You can upgrade Fresh Defense to phase one by eating one mint shard, then at phase two by eating five mint shards, and then at Phase 3 by eating ten mint shards.
- Another perk that can work excellently with Mithridatism is Mom Genes, through which attacks will have a 10% chance to spawn in a friendly spiderling, which will have 25 health, and other than that, it will enhance the damage that has been dealt with poison attack by a total of 50%.

To unlock the Mom Genes perk, the main thing that you need to do is simply go ahead and kill the Hedge Broodmother, which can be quite a daunting fight if you don’t know how to approach it properly.
