Scarlet Rot and Poison Spells (Incantations)

In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Scarlet Rot and Poison are potent status effects that can be game-changing in the right circumstances, particularly during long, grueling battles like the final showdown with Needle Knight Leda and her allies. These status effects damage over time (DoT) and are especially useful for wearing down high-health bosses or tough enemies like Leda and Redmane Freyja, as they continually reduce enemy health even when you're not actively attacking.

Why Scarlet Rot and Poison Are Effective

Long-Term Damage: Scarlet Rot and Poison do continuous damage over time, which can be crucial in prolonged battles where you need to Elden Ring Items keep up the pressure even while retreating or recovering.

Utility in High HP Fights: Enemies with high health pools, like Leda, are prime candidates for Scarlet Rot and Poison, as these DoTs can steadily drain large amounts of health without requiring you to Elden Ring Items for sale land multiple direct hits.
