Poison Mist | Elden Ring Wiki

Sprint past the Farum Azula sentinel, quit out, load back in. Sentinel will walk down the bridge and stop. EzCheesy.

Also works on Stormveil tree spirit, run past and climb the ladder then come back and sneak. Tree Spirit near Golden order seal church, approach the camp site from the cliff edge. Mt Gelmir tree spirit, sneak around the back of the big tree. Church of Vows Hunter, run away from the church then sneak by the broken wall. Leyndell Outskirts Hunter, get on torrent and hop from the nearby rock to the shack roof, wait for the hunter to reset position and cast from behind the shack, it barely reaches him. Tree Sentinel duo on Altus road, run past then sneak from behind.

The location says "Southwest of Castle Morne Rampart site of grace" when it's actually south-south east

This only does 11 damage per tick. With no scaling options this is terribly lame game design.

Submit

Does it scale with faith?

Submit

Didn't expect such a beautiful item description when looking at the fart incantation...

Submit

I wish there was a Scarlet Rot variant of this, I feel like it would be a much better area denial tool.

Submit

16 per tick for me.

Submit

It a Fart that smells so bad that it slowly kills things

Submit

I wish this worked as a projectile like Night Maiden Mist. You can free aim it, it has an arc trajectory similar to a fireball and it can reach quite far until it hits something.



Dark Fog in DS2 would materialize right at the locked enemy regardless of distance.



So I feel Poison Mist got done dirty in this aspect.

Submit

Can be obtained early in the game without fighting any bosses and can be used on any build due to its non-existent requirements. The mist itself stays for so long that afflicting poison to enemies is just a matter of time, especially large enemies. Doesn't alert enemies unlike the super-stealthy Night Mist sorcery. Very helpful on region locked runs as there aren't much offensive spells in the starting area. NOT a Rotten Breath. Easily S tier spell change my mind

Submit

You can also use Poison Mist on the Draconic Tree Sentinel in Farum Azula. Just use Unseen Form and Black Knife Armor to sneak behind. Takes about 20 min but it’s an easy victory.

Submit

Is there a duration or other limit? Or is it just 20 (before resistances I'm guessing) per tick... until they die? I know Rotten Breath says 65 per tick, up to 10 ticks so no duration but there is a limit there. So was just wondering for this incantation.

Submit

i wish there were more poison spells :(

Submit

Turns out you can cheese the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast with this, just sneak around the edge of the arena, just avoiding getting it's attention, then sneak up to it from behind (I used Crepus's Vial to help with this) and then once you're close enough, just use it.

Submit

perfect for cheesing the rider guarding leyndell entrance. just run to door then quit out rejoin and sneak behind and keep using this untilk you wear it down get revenge for its assholish mega damaging lightning bolt

Submit

For those saying this has a set damage per tick... It does not. This Incant actually scales (not entirely sure how/ what by (seems Faith, not Arcane oddly) and by very little) Best way to test this is with varying levels of Faith, Incant Scaling, Arcane with the Ulcerated Tree Spirit near the Giant Crusher in Altus Platue (as it doesn't notice you at first when spawning in)... I've done 11 per tick before, 10 per tick, and of recent in a heavy Int + Faith build, 13 per tick...

Submit

Grandfather Nurgle’s plagues and sicknesses spreads through all franchises!

Submit

Kinda silly this is the only poison incantation apart from Poison Blade. They could at least have given the poison tracking incantation/spell the servants of rot use.

Submit

15 per tick as of 1.09.1

Submit

Using this with the Dragon Communion Seal should let the poison build up scale with your Arcane right?

Submit

Verison 1.09 - 10 per tick...

Submit

I fart in your general direction

Submit

You can sneak kill Malenia's first phase by using poison mist. Just use assassin's gambit, unseen form, crepus vial, concealing veil and bait malenia to turn her back with spectral lance weapon art. For true metal gear experience.

Submit

i use this to space in my poison build when i invade, bastards never see in comin when i fart all over them

Submit

the walk of shame to get this for the dragonic tree senteniel

Submit

Pair it with Ground Slam for maximum efficiency

Submit

If only we had the poison projectile spell the mushroom heads are using. Give it to players in super late game area like Haligtree if it is too much of a cheese, but I'd like more poison spells for servant of rot build.

Submit

Both Poison armament and poison mist status effect buildup scale with arcane, enjoy

Submit

Baleful Shadow and Draconic Tree Sentinel liked this.

Submit

Str/Faith build with two-handed +20 clawmark seal only takes on casting of Poison mist, saving fp

Submit

what other spells besides chilling mist and poisonous mist don't alert unaware enemies?

Submit

vvv

Submit

does it scale with arcane seal?

Submit

Anyone test the significance in poison build up?

I've definitely noticed the buildup speed but am wondering exactly how much faster it is numbers wise.

Submit

felt guilty abt cheesing the one outside leyndell w this but the farum azula one got what’s coming.

Submit

What if the servants of rot incantations had a poison buildup over time effect similar to bloodflame? I mean bleed is already the better status and it gets buildup over time, so it would be nice for us poison builds to get some love

Submit

Wish there was a scarlet rot version, might suck for pvp though

Submit

north east

Submit

Does dragon communion seal with arcane scaling increase the poison build up ?

Submit

Using it to farm runes from the giant land squirts in Caelid is very good early on as each drops ~500 runes and there's three right next to the Aeonia Swamp Shore site of grace. it takes usually 1 cast to poison each and they immediately explode.

Submit

I wish there was a version for the fast poison- stealth kills take quite a long time later on in the game, and applying rot from stealth would obviously be too broken

Submit

the poison damage scales with faith? im asking because if you use poison option for weapon then it scales with arcane so get some confused with this one, or only applies for the seal level?

Submit

The castle Morne 'Rampart' Site of Grace.

It's not in the castle located in the South, but up more north. This incantation is Southeast from the said site of grace.

Submit

So looking on the map. And the map link. That's definitely north east and not south east.

Submit

My take on this is that I would use it if I was trying to do a rogue/assassin playthrough. It really has no use in open combat of any kind, but if you want to roleplay as a sneaky murderer, it's perfect. That's why it doesn't alert enemies.

Submit

I found this on my first couple of hours but thought it was more or less useless after trying it on one of the misbegotten, it didn't stay in the cloud anywhere near long enough for it to kick in. I never read the wiki for it and I never used it. But I read about it working on enemies if you can sneak up on them so I came here to get an idea of it's uses. I think anyone using this to avoid fighting bosses are only cheating themselves out of game-play they paid money to experience, this is especially true for the draconic tree sentinel, it's not just a boss its a pretty good gauge of whether or not a player is going to be able to deal with the enemies in Leyndell. The only exception for me personally is the wormface enemies and boss variant. I can deal with basilisks, even in numbers like they are in a section of the shaded castle without getting hit with the death-blight status effect, but every single time I've tried to fight any wormface fair and square I get hit with death-blight and die before I can do anything about it, makes no difference if I have the pustule charm or have rejuvenating boluses ready to use, it's just not fun to die from a status effect I can't do anything to mitigate quickly enough, so they are fair game. If anyone is having trouble getting the golden slam ash of war, the nomadic warrior's cookbook 19 or the icon shield because of how heavily they are guarded by wormface enemies in the wood-folk ruins, I highly recommend this poison mist incantation, taking a little time to deal with these enemies is better than dying over and over, It works on the giant boss variant wormface guarding the minor erdtree in Altus Plateau as well but it takes three or four casts to poison it at first but after that it works the same way as it does with the smaller wormface.

Submit

I found this in the first couple of hours of my playthrough, I tried it out on first enemy I saw and I thought it was more or less useless in a fight. I never read its wiki page so had no Idea of how potentially useful it is. Obviously using it to avoid having to fight a boss is cheating yourself out of some gameplay, but I have no qualms about using this on the wormface enemies in Altus Plateau, I can deal with the basilisks without getting the death blight status effect but not wormface, every time I've tried to fight one fair and square I get hit with the status effect and die before I have a chance to do anything about it, so they are fair game. I'm wondering though is there any way to speed up the poison buildup? or is it always going to be the same regardless of faith?

Submit

cheese ahead
therefore seek poison

Submit

does the dragon communion seal makes the poison scale with arc?

Submit

I beat Draconic Tree sentinel at level 1 with no weapon upgrades and didn't get hit even once. I am so good at this game.

Submit

Great for a """pacifist""" playthrough-no damage per tick means you can get poison on enemies with this without breaking the rules. Makes a lot of otherwise impossible fights possible in no direct damage challenges.

Submit

BRAAAAAAAAAP

Submit

only way to beat thathorrible one hit kill unescapable lightning bastard dragon knight at leyndell

Submit

Does anyone know if the poison build-up from the mist stacks on itself?

Assuming I'm trying to poison an enemy that takes more than one cast of poison mist, will spamming two mists as quickly as possible increase the poison build-up or would it instead make more sense to wait until one runs out before I cast the next?

Submit

poisons godrick after 2 full cast and 1 tick from third cast

Submit

I saw someone mention somewhere that it takes longer for the poison to proc the more you use it? Is there truth to this or am I just paranoid since I've seen that comment? The only way I can see it being possible is that the effect is dependant on enemy HP.

Submit

North East, not South East, past the small poison swamp

Submit

Cheese some Field Bosses; - Sneak behind Boss and use Poison Mist.

It takes a lot of time, but kill is kill. So what.

Submit

Best way to deal with certain bosses. Less fun? Hardly, against enemies like O'neal, its only fair

Submit

Does the tik rate increase with anything.

I tried up my faith, arcane and switch sigil but the 13 tik was the same with the enemy I tried it. So is it scaling with anything.?

Submit

Area Denial? yes Dmg dealer...nope

Submit

Does less overall damage than Poison Spraymist, as well as less damage-per-tick. It also scales much worse with enemy MaxHP and is much shorter ranged. However, Poison Mist can be cast while sneaking and does not make the noise that Poison Spraymist does. In most cases you can use invisibility effects plus quickly crouching after using Poison Spraymist to avoid detection, but for more perceptive enemies like field bosses this doesn't work so well. As such, Poison Mist is the safer option of the two, but Poison Spraymist is the stronger option. In open combat, Poison Spraymist is the only one of the two that's particularly useful, as it can deal some solid DoT, like a lesser Scarlet Rot (which it also can be used simultaneously with).

WHY doesnt this activate the kindred talisman ???

I deselected the item and it disappeared from my inventory. Anyone know how I get it back?

Submit

We get this point blank poison spell meanwhile the mushroom enemies get a long range homing version and the guys on the rooftops get to throw long range poison bottles that do surprising damage and stunlock

oof

Submit

how do i eqiup it

Submit

Well it worked on cheesing the draconic sentinel. In theory, you could cheese every open world boss that doesn't move until aggroed. This can't possibly be intended.

Submit

One thing to note that makes this spell (very) situationally useful: you can cast it while sneaking without breaking stealth, and since the enemies aren't getting hit, they don't react to it if they're not in combat. So if you're willing to be patient you can slowly poison things to death without a fight at all. Very few actual uses for that, but you can cheese one or two world boss fights with it if you're patient enough.

Submit

It's kind of bad tbh. The range is pitiful and it takes a very long time to cast. Most of the time if you cast it, the enemy is simply going to ignore the cloud and hit you for free. If the cast were a bit faster it might be a decent zoning tool, but for how long it takes to set up, it just isn't very punishing.

Submit

seems to have a weird cooldown or something

Submit

How do I use it ? I got it already but it doesn’t let me cast why?

Submit

Takes forever to cast and didn’t even seem to work on a mounted enemy, highly impractical.

Submit

If cast from stealth, does not trigger aggro.

Submit

This is pretty good tbh for the cost and requirement. Slap it on anything you will fight for a while.

Submit

Is it any good? Can you cheese bosses with Poison Mist?
