AnonymousNightreign cant handle your greatness, my beloved throwables.
That said this thing will be cracked in nightreign, basically delete 30% nightlord hp on demand
AnonymousDoes this have an AOE when it lands? Or does it only work on single targets?

AnonymousRL20 rune arc'd hosts throwing these? Damn we entered shitter's season.

AnonymousSorry if this is a stupid question, but direct impact has no effect on buildup, right? If I were to dodge a boss attack and aim for near their feet, instead of locking onto them and risk missing, I still inflict 400 rot?

Anonymousit seems like it takes 2 of these to apply rot dlc radahn in his first phase, then 3 the 2nd phase, at least when I play co op

AnonymousI like to call this the brainrot pot. Because the people who use it scroll thru tiktok and have an iq of below 20

AnonymousMoore, what's going on big guy, listen just set that pot back down before you do something we both regret

AnonymousWhenever I'm waiting to get summoned for coop, I always use my effigy outside of Romina to farm buds for these in the meantime. Chuck a couple at dlc bosses and just like that 1/3 of the boss is accounted for. Absolutely goated.

AnonymousSo, either these things straight up go through iframes or their hitbox is active for over a full second. Why?

Anonymous30% of max hp to absolutely all bosses. This is the best way of inflicting super rot on any build. Renewable, easy to farm, easy to apply, no stat requirements, no strings attached, 1-4 pots and the boss is 30% easier. Good for pure melee, int, faith, arcane and pot build. Takes only few minutes to get the resources

AnonymousThey made rot pots even more broken and easier to farm, but you still can't buy preserving boluses. Makes sense.
Insta procing rot on phantom hits is a joke

AnonymousYou didn't beat the DLC. Because you are still trying and you haven't beaten it yet. Don't give up :)

There are two ways ppl use it: either they cheese Radahn, or hit Stormveil hosts

AnonymousVery useful against the final boss, though it takes two in the second phase (I use it right at the beginning of both phases and get hit).
It's not too cheesy in the 2nd phase though; you still need to hit him, and you will take a few hits.
AnonymousStarted putting down a taunters tongue for another playthrough, just to add to the experience. Almost every invader I’ve had so far has been a twink throwing these lol. I just point down.

AnonymousHaving trouble w dlc boss? Equip this into tool slot w marika flask, watch your mimic insta proc rot on bosses for you & heal itself with marika flask. Also allows you to keep your rare flasks & not have to farm pots. Trivializes that Rhino riding boss.

Anonymousits crazy how their response to aeonian butterflies and st trina lillies being near impossible to farm was just to make better versions of the old items with more easily farmable items.

Anonymousisn't this just objectively better than scarlet aeonia? no stat requirement and infinitely farmable, thus usable by any build. 400 buildup is lower than what aeonia can do in total but aeonia's animation is also MUCH longer and more unsafe AND this triggers the same strong version of rot that does abt 30% hp in 90s? wth

Anonymouswho the F throw this sh*t in Limgrave RL10 invasion deserve insta-block by anymean.

AnonymousMore or less undodgable in PvP (with bad latency) so if you see someone picking this one up in colosseum, just run to their face, tank it and give them a jumping heavy. The pot won't stagger you out and you actually win the damage trade. You can always heal the rot with boluses, but they can't heal in duels.

Better than rot pot AND easily farmable? You spoil me Mamazaki

AnonymousThis item is worth using even when you have access to rot spells. Hefty rot pots are safer to use than the rot spells so you can weave them in during openings that would be too short for Rotten Breath or Scarlet Aeonia. Against bosses that are resistant to rot, weaving in spells and hefty rot pots together has helped me apply rot far quicker than if I had to wait for (or force) opportunities to use only the spells.

AnonymousUse this plus Poison Spraymist for Minute Rice speeds in boss melting

extremely effective with some bosses only requiring 1 (like Rellana), easily craftable with the moldmonger's bell bearing and scarlet bud farm behind church of the bud entrance. And yet I'd say it's balanced by being a tricky throw on nimble bosses
S-Tier consumable and it should be the benchmark in craftability
AnonymousHefty Rot Pot aka Consort Radahn phase 1 cheese strat that every build can use.

AnonymousProbably one of my most important tools in coop these days, most bosses are vulnerable to scarlet rot and with a full 10 you can usually get it off twice in a boss fight. 60% of a boss' total hp bar is huge

4 of these and Malenia rots, you can throw 3 durring phase transition

Anonymoussaved me against the final boss, during the transition I throw two at him and then tanked the big explosion.

Anonymousrot has fallen, billions must throw these at lvl 20 hosts in stormveil

AnonymousI feel like the real question is would you rather use rot pots or rotten breath?

Anonymous
AnonymousIf you hit the final boss with just one of these it will apply scarlet rot. You can get an easy chance to throw it when you dodge the first attack where he spin dashes on top of you.

AnonymousThe only bad thing about this is that "hefty" doesn't continue the rhyming of Rot Pot

Anonymouspls no dupers, it would be overkill to use this in pvp right... right? :(


I cast... Pot full of malenia's tampons
YEET!
