Status Effects are various effects that affect your Player's State Gauge in the game Elden Ring. Read on to learn more about what each status effect does and how you can cure them.
List of Contents
All Status Effects result from a build up of attacks that render that said effect. Once the gauge meter has been filled, the status effect will be applied to either the player character or the enemy.
| Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Poison | Once the meter is filled, you will take slow continuous damage over a period of time. |
| Deadly Poison | A much stronger form of Poison, the meter is filled much faster and deals greater damage over a period of time. |
| Scarlet Rot | Once the meter is filled, you will take damage over a period of time. |
| Hemorrhage | You will bleed out and take a large amount of damage relative to your Max HP |
| Frostbite | You will take damage and become frostbitten for a while. While frostbitten, you will take increased damage from other sources and recover stamina slower |
| Sleep | You will become drowsy until the gauge fills up, which then puts you to sleep. Weaker characters will fall asleep instantly |
| Madness | Similar to Frenzy from previous Souls games, you will go mad and lost a great deal of both HP and FP |
| Death | Once inflicted with Death, you will be struck down instantly and must revive at a Site of Grace. |
While Scarlet Rot and poison may seem to have the same effect at first glance, Scarlet Rot deals more damage over time, similar to toxic and poison in previous Souls games.
Performing a dodge roll in a pool of either scarlet rot or poison will increase its buildup speed and will not decrease until it fills up the meter. You will have to consume Preserving Boluses to cure it and prevent it from increasing.
All Status Ailments will show a gauge that if filled up, applies the effect to the afflicted. Some ailments like Poison will have a slowly decreasing gauge until it completely deplete, ending the effect. Other ailments will completely disappear once applied like Hemorrhage.
The most effective way to cure any status is to visit a Site of Grace. Sites of Grace are resting points where you can rest and recover from all kinds of status effects and recover HP and FP.
There are spells and items in Elden Ring that can be used to help alleviate status effects.
