Is there any upside to terror?

Is there any upside to terror? - Lighted Candle in Dark Room

A general principle in Sunless Sea seems to be to minimize your Terror as much as possible. But that makes me wonder: Is there any situation in the game where having more terror has any advantage? Like any beneficial random events which only happen when you have a minimum of terror? Or any situations which have a more beneficial outcome when you have more terror?

Please use spoilers as appropriate.



Best Answer

You need Terror ? 1 to sleep in your lodgings, which has other benefits than reducing terror.

Most notable among these is reducing Menaces: Yearning, Burning by 2 to 3.

You also need Terror ? 70 (and Something Awaits You) to take the Listen action in the Iron Republic, which

gives you 70 fragments, plus one fragment for every two terror over 70.
