 *Unless you already have poison resistance, make sure that you can afford to remain in place for an extended period of time. Enemies can still fire their own ranged attacks, and monsters that are poison-resistant or strong enough will run at you all the same. By the midgame, most enemies are strong enough to walk through the poison clouds.
 *The poison clouds can do a very surprising amount of damage, assuming the enemy isn't resistant or immune to poison. Even [[caustic shrike]]s can be severely weakened by this scroll's clouds. Of course, this doesn't stop these enemies from hitting you.
-**[[Death yak]]-tier enemies and above tend to willing walk into clouds if at full HP; at that stage of the game, the poison clouds do a lot of damage.

 *[[Ignite Poison]] combos well with this scroll, whether as a way to finish off things that have been heavily poisoned by the clouds, or to engulf resistant enemies that blithely ignored the poison in a sudden sea of flames. Just be aware that fire also hurts ''you'' more than poison -- if you need to go anywhere before the flames die down, you'll want fire resistance.
 *Also works well with [[fear]] ([[scroll of fear]], [[Cause Fear]]). Scared monsters will walk right into the clouds.

 *This scroll is effective against [[invisible]] enemies, which have a higher chance to be revealed by clouds. [[Unseen horror]]s in particular will often blunder through the clouds with their batty movement, leading to a quick death. If you need to attack a suspected invisible enemy, use '''ctrl-direction''' or '''v''' to attack in place.
