How Does Scarlet Rot Work in Elden Ring?
Scarlet Rot is applied to you in many ways. Some enemies have attacks that cause you to be affected by this condition. The most common source, however, are lakes and huge rivers of Scarlet Rot.
Huge poisonous areas tend to be red and do not look appealing at all. The most common places are:
Aeonia in Caelid
Huge Scarlet Rot Lake in Ainsel River
Abandoned Cave in Caelid
If you are being exposed for too long to the effects of Scarlet Rot, you will start losing HP (Health Points) until the effect is over.
How to Avoid Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring?
Ideally, you do not want to be affected by Scarlet Rot in the first place. Make sure to use Torrent whenever possible to avoid standing in pools of Rot.
However, you will not have access to your companion in all situations.
If Torrent is not available whenever you are make sure to sprint jump right before walking into a place filled with Scarlet Rot. You can go from island to island and wait out the buildup or just run through it and cure it after.
Sometimes rolling is the best option, but you need to remember that it will make you covered in Scarlet Rot, and it will still build up after you leave the source.
