Status effects can make or break your fight and it’s crucial to know what exactly they do and how to change their effect. In this guide, we will take a look at how to reduce, cure and remove Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring. As you know, Scarlet Rot will deal damage to the target pretty quickly and it will last for quite some time. But don’t worry, these items and incantations will help you out.

How to Reduce Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring?

This increased immunity is useful to mitigate the buildup of Scarlet Rot for your character. Further ahead, we’ve listed some more items that increase immunity. Make sure the immunity level is high because that determines your susceptibility to rot.
