Created by Hakke Daru by modifying a vaccine he made to cure another infectious disease. The spread of the Petrifying Illness is mostly limited to Europe. The skin of those infected by the illness turns rock solid with a texture resembling brickwork and they are gradually killed through organ failure as their organs turn to stone. Due to the large rate of infected, several isolation wards were created in Europe to contain victims of the Petrification Illness, with the largest of these being located in Istanbul.
While thought to be incurable, a vaccine for the Petrifying Illness was created in secret by Daru, but ended up being stolen by his daughter Bahlinka as she was fleeing from him. If the Maken agrees to help Fukenshi Acinaces in stopping Daru and the spread of the Petrifying Illness the vaccine is retrieved from Bahlinka and distributed throughout Europe after Daru is defeated.
Hakke Daru is capable of manipulating people infected with the Petrifying Illness to his will, and uses this to create the enemies Golem and Iron Maiden from the bodies of those he has personally infected, tortured and killed.
Hakke Daru and Bahlinka are capable of infecting enemies with the Petrifying Illness in the form of a green smoke expelled through their breath in their EX Specials. If it makes contact with an enemy they'll turn to stone for a few seconds and all damage done to them becomes a critical hit, although certain enemies are immune to being petrified. If the Maken is currently Brainjacking a character other than Daru or Bahlinka, they can likewise be petrified by the blow dart attacks from Petrifying Illness Golems or from Daru himself during the boss fight against him.
