A scroll that fills the air with poison, covering every unoccupied space in sight with toxic fumes.
|
Reading a scroll of poison creates poisonous clouds everywhere in line of sight that is not occupied by a player, monster, or another cloud. Poisonous clouds have no effect on creatures with poison resistance.
Tips and Tricks
- The most obvious use of this scroll is to maintain a distance from nearby enemies, pelting them with ranged attacks. Arcane Marksmen start with this scroll for this purpose.
- 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 ranged attacks, and strong enough (or poison resistant) monsters will still approach you all the same.
- Monsters not immune to the clouds will quickly accumulate a suprising amount of damage, though that does not stop them from hitting you.
- Strong enemies will often ignore the poison clouds. This is the time to use Ignite Poison. As expected, be prepared to escape the new flaming clouds.
- This scroll is effective against invisible enemies; even with rPois, their location will be revealed through the clouds. Unseen horrors will often walk through the clouds with their batty movement, leading to a quick death.
History
- Scrolls of poison were introduced in 0.29.
