Mutagens [MTGS]

Find all Mutagen locations in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, including Healing Factor, Inner Rage, and Samurai. Learn their effects and usefulness.

Mutagens:

Healing Factor

• Description: Decreases the cool down time before regeneration starts.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X facility after Wolverine loses his ability to regenerate on a platform above the necessary Power Cell. 2- At Alkali Lake after moving across the bridge where the helicopter is attacking, climb the ladder to the top of the tower. 3- Inside the room with the giant Sentinel, move the teleporter through the wall to the left.
• Usefulness: The cool down time reduction may not be significant enough to warrant using a Mutagen slot over other more important upgrades.

Inner Rage

• Description: Gain extra rage from each kill.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X facility when Wolverine has to pull the Truck out to reach a higher platform. 2- Behind Wolverine at the beginning of the Wideawake level. 3- During the Sentinel mission, found just after the hand lowers.
• Usefulness: The rage meter stays fairly full by killing enemies and destroying crates/vases, so trading this for more experience or stronger attacks might be preferable.

Samurai

• Description: Builds your combat reflexes faster.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X Facility in a room on the left while following the scientist's footprints. 2- At the beginning of the Betrayal stage, a double jump to Wolverine's right. 3- During the Sentinel Mission in the room where the power cell required is shown to Wolverine.
• Usefulness: A very good mutagen, especially if trophies are important.

Experienced

• Description: Gain extra experience from each kill.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X Facility to the right of Anna's cell. 2- Alkali Lake under Nord's position inside the building in the hall where he fires at Wolverine as Wolverine tries to reach the stairs. 3- Finding Agent Zero mission at the top of a set of broken stairs over a waterfall.
• Usefulness: This Mutagen should be equipped as faster experience gain leads to a more powerful Wolverine.

Art of War

• Description: Damage boost from Combat Reflexes.
• Locations: 1- On a ledge before meeting the Prototype in Alkali Lake. 2- Above the console Wolverine uses to freeze himself in the Raven's Explanation level. 3- Save Wraith during the Sentinel Mission.
• Usefulness: A fine mutagen, but others may seem more valuable as the boost from building reflexes themselves might be sufficient.

Unstoppable

• Description: Reduces damage taken.
• Locations: 1- To the right of the floor that falls in at the beginning of Chapter 2. 2- During the Betrayal level in the area with the moving statues that create platforms, under the stairs before the first statue. 3- During Chapter 5, in the area just after the raising floor block puzzle.
• Usefulness: If Wolverine is having problems completing missions or staying alive, this Mutagen may be the answer.

Rampage

• Description: Increases your maximum rage.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X Facility upon exiting Frost's Lab, in the room at the end of the hall on the right. 2- After moving down the bridge with the helicopter firing down at Wolverine, look to the right of the area with the enemies (Alkali Lake). 3- The Sentinel Level in the area where the hand has to be moved down a set of tracks.
• Usefulness: Rage is an important commodity in the game; more rage available means stronger offense, making this a Mutagen to consider using.

Blood Rage

• Description: When near death, Wolverine does more damage.
• Locations: 1- Upon entering the Alkali Lake complex, take the first left and the Mutagen is at the bottom of a set of stairs in the back left corner of the area with the truck where the C4 is to be planted. 2- During the Raven's Explanation mission, in the area with the cake accessed by moving the teleporter in the "freezing" area all the way to the right. 3- A room on the right after first encountering the Assassin during the 52 Pickup level.
• Usefulness: Potentially the least effective Mutagen for a normal difficult play through, as times Wolverine will be near death are minimal, and avoiding attacks through dodging, blocking, or attacking is more useful.

Vitality

• Description: Increases your maximum health.
• Locations: 1- Weapon X Facility, a room just after the area with the turret and two moving shields and just before regaining the ability to heal. 2- At Alkali Lake in the cave where the WoW Trophy is obtained. 3- During the Raven's Explanation mission, at the top of a ladder in the room with the moving platforms.
• Usefulness: While a quality Mutagen, Wolverine's health increases with each level gained and by finding Health Boosts throughout levels, so this can be left in reserve.

Savage

• Description: Gain health from damage inflicted.
• Locations: 1- At Alkali Lake, knock over the tower and use it as a bridge; once across, look to the right to see tags and a cave with this mutagen. 2- Raven's Explanation, after obtaining Trask's "Key", an elevator will take Wolverine up a level; move across the beam and ride a second lift up. 3- When outside the building during the 52 Pickup mission, Assassins will break through a window; defeat them then enter the area they exited.
• Usefulness: Wolverine's health is rarely in danger, especially with his regenerative powers, so his mutant abilities decrease the need for this Mutagen to be equipped.

Shredder

• Description: Increases damage from Fury Attacks.
• Locations: 1- At the beginning of Alkali Lake, turn around to see this mutagen. 2- At the beginning of the Raven's Explanation level. 3- During the first stage of Chapter 5, Wolverine encounters moving floor spikes; on the wall to the left is a boarded up door behind which is the Mutagen.
