Dame look at this mad lad, he's a DOCTOR, at best he should be at the back of an adventuring party casting buffs and healing. This page is not even translated yet and I can tell that he sets out ALONE is likely very stressed and tired too find the spider type whos venom is killing her, to make what I am assuming is an antivenom. And kills this huge thing BY HIMSELF and gathers all the other things he needs, that thing in the corner is a mandrake I think it can kill you if you hear it scream for to long. And I am willing to bet that gem is hard to come by, when this girl is healed she needs to latch onto him and never let go.

Atelier GRIMDARK.
(Well, probably more Nobledark, the way it's going...)

It's obvious this man has lots of levels under his belt and it SHOWS. He is on a CRUSADE.
Poisonous creatures also carry the cure. If they didn't, they'd be subject to their own poison, either from themselves or members of their species. So when you fight poisonous monsters in JRPGs and they drop an antidote, that's not just convenience, but a matter of fact.

Hoo boy here we go again. Poison = you eat it, you die. Venom = gets injected by it, you die.
Depends on what kind of venom and if you have stomach ulcers, but generally yes.).
Venoms are usually proteins. That means they get destroyed by your digestive system if taken orally. But if you happen to have any ulcers or sores or cuts (or other breaks in your skin/mucosal lining) then it can get into your bloodstream that way and cause damage.
Still don't do it please.

Not... exactly. If an organism is poisonous that means it has poison (relatively speaking to other organisms) in its tissues, and has adapted to be able to survive without having its bodily functions/metabolic processes being disrupted by said poison (much).
If an organism is venomous that means it stores toxins somewhere (usually in a specialized gland). This toxin is introduced into a second organism by means of a delivery system (usually fangs or stingers). Venomous toxins are usually complicated proteins, which means constant low-level exposure will result in the immune system adapting to it and producing antibodies that will bind to the toxin and deactivate them. Most venomous organisms are thus immune or partially immune to their own venom (or a venom from the same or even a related species).
A similar process can be used to acquire immunity to venoms by intentionally injecting very low doses of a specific venom over time until the immune system adapts and learns to produce its own antibodies (which is circulated inside the body). Princess Bride-style. But this is not process is not without risk and takes some time even if it does work. (So please don't DIY this at home.) Most people therefore don't bother with this unless they regularly work with venomous creatures, e.g. snake handlers.
One can instead inject low doses of venom into another animal (usually lifestock), wait until it acquires immunity, then extract its blood and filter the serum to obtain the antibodies. This is how antivenoms are made. Current industrial processes usually use sheep as the envenomated animal (previous ones prefer horse). Injecting this antivenom into a recently-envenomated human will help 'cure the poison' because the introduced antibodies will bind to the venom, thereby deactivating them.
Low doses of venoms also often have therapeutic effects for other conditions (again, please don't DIY this!). There are some folkloric/traditional medicine that employ venoms occasionally for therapeutic purpose, and some modern medicine are also based on purified and/or modified venoms. That's the source of the adage "To fight poison with poison" in many East Asian countries.
TL;DR: Venomous/poisonous organisms don't work like human assassins: they don't have an antidote stored somewhere for use in accidental self-poisoning. They are (usually) already naturally immune to their own toxins. But the toxin itself can sometimes be used as a base for producing antidotes. And sometimes the toxin in low doses or in modified form can also be used to treat other conditions.
We're talking video games logic here. Most enemy units that can cause a status ailment usually drop the item that cures it. You're being literal
I can only name a handful of video games that do that. And they're mostly rpg games from around the year 2000, like the Atelier series. (Granted, I don't play that many games so I could be missing entire series, but I digress.) Most of the time, the cure is in the form of a cure-all potion that you can just buy at the in-game merchant. Or get it purged by the designated White Mage.

Pretty much an FF game with enemies that can poison you drop antidotes. or materials to make antidotes if there's a crafting mechanic.

Steak's comment claimed RPG mechanics were based on real life facts,, implying that killing a real life poison dart frog would allow you to collect the thing thing needed to cure its poison, which isn't how that works.
*Pant...*Leave it to us!*Lift**SCREEEEEEECH**Swell...**Drip...**Pant...*Reszurre-san...
Just a little more... You'll... be better soonThere are several ingredients necessary for completing the antidote that I couldn't acquire without heading out into the field. While I was gone, I left the care and observation of Reszurre to Mone and her mother, Ane. It may have been a heavy burden for them to bear, but I also gave them instructions in the event that Reszurre's condition took a sudden turn for the worse, just in case.Mandragora root as the liquid base, an undiluted poison solution as the source of the antivenom (obsidian spider innards), an elemental conversion mana quartz, a blend of medicinal herbs condensed to a liquid, and a dwarf-made needle crafted from a dragon fang for shoulder injection. Making haste, I was able to return in around two days' time, and perhaps due to the ministrations of Mone and her mother, Reszurre was able to hang on
