Okay, so I’ve been playing a TON of Elden Ring lately, and let me tell you, Scarlet Rot is a real pain. I kept getting absolutely wrecked by it, so I decided to do some digging and figure out what actually resists it. Here’s the lowdown on what I found and what I’ve been doing to, you know, not die constantly.
Figuring Out My Defenses
First, I tried to find what attribute governs the resistance. I jumped into my character stats and checked everything, Immunity! that is the key! The higher your Immunity, the better you are at resisting Scarlet Rot buildup. And it is related to Vigor stats. Time to put points on it!
So, I used some Larval Tear, and reallocated my stats. Make sure I have enough points on vigor, so I can have higher immunity. I also tried several armors sets that I have and wore the ones has the highest immunity stats.
Getting Practical: Gear and Items
After getting the best armor I had, I went to explore more. It turns out there are a bunch of things in the game that can help. I also tried some of the items and talismans:
- Mottled Necklace:I looked around and found this. Boosts Robustness, Immunity, and Focus.
- Mushroom Set: Got this set, and I found it has really high Immunity.
- Immunizing Horn Charm:This talisman is another way to raise your Immunity. Every little bit helps!
- Immunizing White Cured Meat: This is important. I crafted some of these, I could use it to Temporarily boost Immunity.
Mixing It Up: Incantations and Spells
Since I invest some points on my Faith stats, I tried some incantations to help with that nasty Scarlet Rot.
- Flame Cleanse Me:This one is awesome. It cures poison and, most importantly, Scarlet Rot! It also stops the buildup. It only needs 12 Faith, which is super manageable.
- Bestial Constitution:This is not as good as ‘Flame Cleanse Me’, but it is also an option since it only needs 10 faith.
- Law of Regression: This one is powerful, it can cure everything! but needs a lot of intelligence stats.
Putting It All Together
So, with all this experimenting, my current strategy is this:
- Keep my Vigor boosted for higher Immunity.
- Wear the highest-immunity armor I can find.
- Use “Flame Cleanse Me” like it’s going out of style. Seriously, I spam that thing.
- Craft and eat Immunizing White Cured Meat before entering any rot zone.
It’s been a lot of trial and error, dying, and, well, more dying. But I feel like I’m finally getting a handle on dealing with Scarlet Rot. It’s still tough, but at least now I have a fighting chance!
