Poison Gem | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

this could have been a neat sell to luck builds, but str/dex builds can apply poison extremely easily just with an innate poison weapon and/or rotten pine. (and they still don't very often, so that tells you something.) poison is an awful source of DPS but an excellent counter to tears of denial!

Best multi status luck build, carthus great sword infused with poison in the right hand it will have high bleed high poison, damage, and poise. paired with offhand Crystal chime to use snap freeze if they're out of your weapons range and also equipped petulant mist if they try to make a run towards you if they back up further than snap freeze hit them with Dorhys gnawing because it has the longest range. Time this build well and they will have no choice but to die or run away it's fine to use techniques people deem not good

Imagine if there were a Toxic Gem, and that you only found it in the Arse's on corpses

does anyone know the amount of poison buildup for an average weapon and build, if so please let me know. thanks in advance

Submit

Don't know how rare it is, but I killed a stationary Thrall in Zoey's corridor in the Earthen Peak Ruins and a it dropped a Poison Gem.

Submit

There's a Poison gem in Painted World of Ariandel, first bonfire before the collapsing cliff, far left next to the 1 bug.

In pvp, always try to use this gem as a support for bleed. Whenever the bleed proc occurs, what's left is a sliver of health that stays there until the enemy player runs out of stamina for running and proceeds to chug.

Submit

I just wanna add that Poison gem also increases the bleeding of weapons that already has bleeding on them.
i.e. Barbed Sword ; Flamberge ; Bandit's Knife ; Carthus weapons ; and ESPECIALLY spiked mace that adds quite a bit bleeding and poison than most other weapons.

LOL ! Exile Greatsword +10 and Zweihander +10 poison gem infused at 99 LUCK has 144 rate.

Submit

Tested on Rotten Ghru Spear +10 @ 99 luck, NG; the poision proc rate maxes out at 100, I can manage to poison enemies such as the 'pike' wielding villagers in crucifixion woods with a single r1. Additionally the 'Charge' weapon art on the giant crab next to the crucifixion woods bonfire can proc poison in a single attack if the player uses the strong variant of the weapon art where you press r2 halfway through the animation to lengthen its duration and increase its total amount of active hit boxes; I should note that when performing the 'Charge' weapon art it is vital to land as many of the weak hit boxes as possible as seen evidently when using the weak variant of 'Charge' on the giant crab- poison does not proc. Interesting utility combo for luck builds

i sold all of them because they are worthless, but turns out i need a poison infusion for an achievement, *****

Needs a nerf. Got invaded by a poison build and felt so bad for them I jumped off a cliff. Sympathy OP

Go back to DS2 poison gem, shoo shoo, go back with your friend the spotted whip.

Submit

it increases the bleed effect on weapons that already have the bleed effect like claws katanas warden twinblades ect.

So I'm a sorceres/miracle worker and I just got enough dexterity to use the brigand twindaggers, I was going to put the Crystal gem on it because of my high intelligence, but I feel the poison gem would be better because it'd make a quick poison build up, which should I use?

Submit

Am i the only person who sees the great value in poison weapons for their ability to essentially negate tears of denial?

Submit

The thrall in the dreg heap that has a poisoned Flamberge can also drop these. The other ones might be able to, but I've only gotten one from that one.

Submit

As of this date the uchigatana +10 adds +58 to poison, the bleed stays the same as it was which is +30

Submit

Poison can now be applied to enemies very fast now, good for bosses and tanky enemies to apply to at the start and then switch to your primary weapon.

Submit

K so what's good after the patch? I've always been interested in underdog poison builds. Amy weopons that have an absurd amount of poison and are fairly fast? I'm talking besides daggers. I've had luck with the poisen brigantine duel dagger. Now wondering if there is something with a little more reach

Submit

poisoned katana? you have bleed and poison? it is a theory..

Submit

Its called Elder Ghru. I'd fix it myself but too lazy.

Submit

What is "Giant Demon Dog" ?! it's name is Elder Ghru. Stop pulling names out of your buthole

When I went to enchant my +10 Uchigatana I hovered over poison Gem and saw it upped my Bleed value by one as well as adding a poison value. Can anyone Confirm this?

Submit

I just started dark souls 3 im up to the road of sacrifices. My best weapon is four pronged plow and im wondering whether to infuse poison on it since i adored posion in dark souls 2.Any advice on poison or farron keep would be appreciated.

Submit

Just don't use it as main form of offense. infuse your side weapon with poison, apply it and swap to your main weapons.

Submit

Poison in other Soul games was at least useful in PVP. But in DS3 I don't see it as being practical unless there is a way to stack/buff poison damage. Until then poison builds are not going to be a thing in the game.

Submit

While enemies are poisoned, you can always see their health bars. But, yeah, if you only care about damage, yes, Poison is useless.

Submit

Yesterday I infused my Caestus +2 with poison and even though I poisoned some monsters with 2 hits (several enemies seem to be immune to poison at all) it did 3 HP per second of damage, which is pretty useless considering that I do around 60 DPS per second by hitting with the weapon. If anyone can share your thoughts/experience that would be great.

Submit

I am not sure if this applies to all poison weapons, however when infused with the Rotton Ghru Spear the effects seemed to be unnoticeable.
