Which Boluses Cure Poison?
Poison is a common affliction in Elden Ring that can debilitate even the strongest of characters. Fortunately, there are ways to cure poison and return to your normal self. In this article, we will explore the different methods and boluses that can help you recover from the nasty effects of poison.
Types of Boluses that Cure Poison
There are two primary types of boluses that can cure poison: Green Boluses and Preserving Boluses. Here is a breakdown of each type:
| Type of Bolus | Description | Required Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Green Bolus | Alleviates poison buildup and cures poison ailment. | Cave Moss x1, Herba x1 (Armorer’s Cookbook recipe) |
| Preserving Bolus | Cures Scarlet Rot, a severe form of corruption. | (Various Incantation recipes, like Rotten Breath and Ezykes’s Decay) |
How to Make Green Boluses
To create Green Boluses, you will need the following:
- Cave Moss (drops from the ground in select areas, such as Siofra River and Forbidden Lands)
- Herba (dropped by enemy mobs, like Glaucus or Ranni, the Fertile Wilde)
- Armorer’s Cookbook (found in select areas, like the Armorer’s Shack)
Use the recipe to craft your Green Boluses and apply them to cure poison and alleviate its effects.
How to Make Preserving Boluses
Preserving Boluses are more challenging to craft, requiring mastery of certain Incantation recipes. Here’s how to do it:
| Incantation | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Rotten Breath | Unleashes a cloud of Scarlet Rot over the battlefield, quickly building up the affliction in targets. | 14 FP, 12 Faith |
| Ezykes’s Decay | A stronger version of Rotten Breath, applies Scarlet Rot from above where it’s harder to avoid. | 24 FP, 18 Faith |
| Scarlet Aeonia | Not confirmed, but rumored to exist. (Source: vintageisthenewold.com) | ? FP,? Faith |
Once you’ve learned the required Incantation, you can apply its effects to cure Scarlet Rot and preserve your character.
Consequences of Failing to Cure Poison
If left untreated, poison can have severe consequences on your character’s performance:
- Reduced HP
- Slowed movement speed
- Reduced damage output
In extreme cases, Scarrot Rot can lead to permanent character corruption and destruction.
