Elden Ring Volcano Pot Notes & Tips
- You can hold up to 20 Volcano Pot, depending on how many Cracked Pots you have
- You can store up to 600 Volcano Pot
- Sell Value: Volcano Pot cannot be sold
- Once a Volcano Pot is thrown, its Cracked Pot will be available for crafting another throwing pot
- Volcanic Stone can be found throughout Mt. Gelmir and can be easily farmed at the Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite Site of Grace, making this one of the easiest throwing pots to reliably craft
In the context of PvP, these kind of suck? At least for invasions, as a form of deterrent they do very little damage and won't do anything to stop a phantom at full health from running through it to smack your heal attempt. It's more of a psychological deterrent, even though the damage is very little people will still avoid running into it because they don't want to be chipped for 100 damage, even if it would result in them catching out their opponent.

Doesn't set off explosive barrels, which I believe may be a dev oversight. Unless these are supposed to be simply "heat" and not actual fire, despite dealing fire damage.

Made a dedicated pot build and used these to 7-8 shot (with every possible buff) the Erdtree Avatar guarding the one grace in Haligtree. I'm a believer

These things are goated man. This and Freezing Pots are the best jars. Both easy to farm and just do what they need to

Once malenia lands with her scarlet aeonia, throw this to delete a 1/3 of her health. No joke.

My pick for best overall pot in the game. It's virtually free since the ingredients are trivial to farm in large quantities. It doesn't use FP. It uses Cracked Pots rather than Ritual Pots so you can carry more at once. It takes several ticks to outdamage a standard flaming pot, but it's really not hard to hit several times with it (especially against large enemies), and the lingering effect means you can still deal some damage if you don't hit dead on. It's fire damage, which can briefly stun the big flowers and the giant hands. Against the hand specifically, you can throw it at your feet before they charge to interrupt them just as they get in range, instead of having to run to them after hitting them. Its lower scaling means it works on a larger variety of builds.
Sure, other pots might be more effective in different situations, but Volcano Pots are basically always useful to have.

Try casting night maiden's mist first and then throw one of these in the confusion XD

A niche use perhaps, but really great at clearing the slugs in the sewer pipes under leyndell.

Great against the giant Miranda Flowers, such as the one found inside the Shaded Castle; just throw a few of these down from the safety of the rooftop and the guarded item is yours.

These pots are also a great opener against giant hands for melee characters who don´t have access to fire magic. It instantly puts the hands into the burning animation which kind of stunlocks them for a brief moment long enough to finsih them off without having them run you over constantly.

These destroy Erdtree Avatars. Like you can kill them with 8 to 10 of these

I used one of these on the beetle that drops poisonous mist ash, and did not receive the ash. it is gone on that character, it is not in the chest or equipped on something accidently it is gone.

Because of the EXTREME ease of farming these, they by far outperform the other 2 fire pots.
With well placed pots, helm, and tali's, I can get 800-1000 per pot, and you get 20 of them. Plus if you're quick enough you can craft in battle for more. These things are amazing.

Seriously the best throwable item, PvP and PvE. Absolutely love these things and use them on the regular, along with poison knives.. both so easy/cheap to craft.

roped volcano pots are amazing in pvp especially against ganks, it's like a little safe space that traps enemies while damaging/staggering them
why roped? it's really subtle and hard for pvp enemies to see,
and if they try to roll they'll still get caught in volcano

I've been using these to farm smithing stones (5) from sealed tunnel in capital outskirts. Its a lot quicker than using lightning spear or frenzied burst. Target lock a miner, throw the pot then you can release the lock and target the next one as the last pot hits and kills the miner you threw it at, as long as the target lock is on when its thrown it will hit the target, its also interesting to see the effect it has on the miners before they die, as the damage ticks they have a lot of trouble moving naturally, none of those I killed farming the smithing stones were able to get out of the AoE to attack me. I think that particular mechanic might come in handy for a lot of enemies, maybe bosses as well. I'm going to mess around with them to see how different enemies deal with it.

Incredibly easy to farm, and deals pretty good damage. A great ranged option for bulids which lack that

Surprisingly very good to have if you're using cold infusion, you can reset the frost meter to proc some more, very good on large healthpool or in coop.

Best farm spot (for the Volcanic Rock) IMO is the Ninth Mt Gelmir Campsite Grace, six clusters in a short radius(one literally right at the Grace point), you can scoop up hundreds in a matter of minutes.
Each tick of these seems to cause a brief interrupt on some enemies. BUT it doesn't seem to be from actual poise damage. Often useful for that alone.

These are fun in pvp duels. If you can predict an opponent charging you, you can drop target lock and throw at your own feet before rolling away. Ive won a many duels on my lvl 150 str/fth pvp build with these using that technique

these pots dont do a ton of damage alone, but say, 3 and you can do a ton of damage on most anything, even late game. Incredibly easy to stock up on. Great craftable item, even if it isnt as great as the bleed pot.

I was being swarmed by a bunch of demihumans who used these in my first play through and I literally said “I better be able to craft those”

Use this on the invisible scarabs that move a lot. They have 1 HP so it one shots them, and the lingering cloud makes it super hard to miss.

in PVE this pot gets outclassed by other better pots in the mid-late game.
However, 1 thing this pot excels at is getting or at least annoying the lame hosts that camp ( or I guess exploit?) those pillar ledges in the limgrave PVP area. Especially if they go for the pillar that is on the westside near the cliff.
When you throw these puppies at the right angle on the cliffside, the cloud will still hit the hosts. Granted it does little damage, but since most of my time doing this they are AFK, its more of an easy win as long as you have the volcanic stone to keep cranking out this pot. If they are not afk, its a good way to make them waste estus (if you have enough volcanic stone to do it) and to hopefully eventually make them come down and actually fight you.
I tried other similar cloud based pots, but this pot had the most success with and even pulled some wins out of. Maybe I have bad luck with other cloud pots, but that is from my experience.

Do these really do fire damage? they don't set off explosives unlike all other sources of fire damage.

These and a lot of other pots got drastically nerfed for some reason. Got C and D scaling respectively now

Lowkey strong on slow bosses, especially strong against Erdtree Avatar.

Because volcano stones are so easily farmable in large quantities, these pots are super easy to stock up on, and don’t take any MP to throw.
Tied with oil pots for the most useful imo

Great for canceling freeze to re-proc again. The linger fire makes it easier to hit than fire pots and some incants.
Doesn't work too well in PvP but threatening enough to make some players panic.
Very easy to farm. I keep it as a pouch item.
