Poison Mist Lore

Lore Description
"Incantation of the servants of rot.

Releases a poisonous mist before the caster. This incantation can be cast while in motion.

Those who dwell within poison know rot all too well. The death that begets life, that comes to all equally. That is to say: it is the cycle of rebirth put into practice.
"

Poison Mist Effects

Poison Mist is an incantation that generates a large poison cloud in front of the caster when charged. Enemies that step into the cloud build up Poison and can be inflicted with a weak version of Slow Poison. Only one poison cloud may exist at a time.

How to Get Poison Mist

Dropped By a Scarab

In-Game View Map Location
Location ▶︎ Limgrave - Weeping Peninsula
Reward ▶︎ Incantation: Poison Mist

You can hunt this scarab in Limgrave's Weeping Pennisula area, southeast from the Castle Morne Rampart site of grace.

This scarab will warp from different locations when it notices you, but you can always go back to the site of grace to reload and see it on its first spot. Use long-range attacks or items to kill from a distance.

How to Use Poison Mist

Area Denial or Line of Sight Blocker

In a practical sense, Poison Mist is only ever combat viable during PvP and even then it functions within its own niche. Defenders can use Poison Mist to cut off chokepoints preventing enemies from navigating around. Invaders, on the other hand, can use it to block the enemy's LoS.

However, due to the slow build-up of Poison and limitation of only one cloud, this incantation really only functions as way to block out the enemy's LoS. Unfortunately, even in this aspect, Darkness has it beat. This leaves Poison Mist with few applications during combat.

Can be Used to Proc Poison from Stealth

Poison Mist

One of Poison Mist's niche functions is that it can proc poison from stealth. And, since it's the cloud that deals poison damage, the enemy will not aggro so long as you remain crouched and unmoving behind it. Notably, this incantation is famous for being able to cheese the Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding Leyndell.

However, due to the relatively weak poison damage this incantation deals, you will often find yourself having to re-cast and re-apply poison to even net a single stealth poison kill.
