When you’re not sprinting through the hallways of a dilapidated police predict in a desperate bid for your life, you’ll wind up wandering the hallways of the Sleep Room. Here, you’ll find a handful of NPCs, like The Pharmacist, where you can spend Murkoff Dollars to unlock persistent upgrades called Prescriptions in The Outlast Trials!
All Prescriptions in The Outlast Trials
To unlock Prescriptions in The Outlast Trials, you must reach level 3 and speak with The Pharmacist. She’s waiting for you just outside the doors after receiving your grade for completing any Trial. She’ll sell you upgrades in the form of Prescriptions, with some teaching you how to slide in the game, others offering healing, and so much more.

Which Prescriptions to Pick First in The Outlast Trials
You’ll only earn one or two Murkoff Dollars per Trial, so use them wisely! I recommend unlocking the following Prescriptions first:
- Regeneration
- Self Defense Technique
- Run and Smash Doors
- Expanded Inventory
- Battery Extension
- Athlete
- Advanced Regeneration
- Medic
- Resistance
These prove helpful whether you’re playing the game solo or with teammates!
The Guide Hall spent a lot of time talking to Nurse Barlow, definitely because of the Prescriptions, not for any other reason. Come on back for more of The Outlast Trials game guides soon!
