# Toxic

Not to be confused with Poison.

### Effect

<div id="bkmrk-">---

</div>Once the Toxic meter is full, HP will begin to drain at a steady rate depending on the method of infliction. Also impedes upon stamina regeneration.

### Inflict

<div id="bkmrk--1">---

</div>The following are capable of inflicting toxic, and drain HP at the corresponding rates listed:

<div id="bkmrk-cause-of-toxic-ptde-"><table><tbody><tr><th>Cause of Toxic</th><th>PTDE Rate of HP loss</th><th>PTDE Total HP loss</th><th>Remaster tick Rate</th><th>Remaster Rate of HP loss</th><th>Remaster Total HP loss</th><th>Buildup per hit</th></tr><tr><td>Blowdart Sniper</td><td>23.33 HP per second</td><td>14000 HP</td><td>0.6 seconds</td><td>23.33 HP per second</td><td>14000 HP</td><td>80</td></tr><tr><td>Gravelord Nito</td><td>8 HP per second</td><td>4800 HP</td><td>0.909 seconds</td><td>8.80 HP per second</td><td>5281 HP</td><td>58</td></tr><tr><td>Engorged Zombie</td><td>8 HP per second</td><td>4800 HP</td><td>0.927 seconds</td><td>8.63 HP per second</td><td>5178 HP</td><td>150</td></tr><tr><td>Undead Dragon

</div>Blowdart Sniper is the only one of these which in PTDE deviated from 1 per second with its Damage tick Rate.

### Recover

<div id="bkmrk--2">---

</div>Recovering from Toxic is highly recommended, as the status effect lasts for 10 minutes (in most cases), and it drains HP rapidly. To recover, the player may:

<div id="bkmrk-consume-a-blooming-p">- Consume a Blooming Purple Moss Clump

- Consume a Divine Blessing

- Cast Remedy

- Rest at a Bonfire

</div>### Resisting and Avoiding Toxic

<div id="bkmrk-toxic-resistance-sha">---

- Toxic resistance shares the Poison resistance stat, but uses a separate status meter indicated by a black poison drop instead of a purple one. Though this means that a player or enemy can be both poisoned and toxic at the same time, increasing poison resistance will increase toxic resistance.

- Killing the Engorged Zombies of the Painted World with a fire-based attack will prevent them from spewing their toxic-spray upon death.

- Increase Resistance stat

- Equip the Poisonbite Ring (multiplies base Poison resist by 5)

- Equip various Poison Resistant armors

- Equip Gargoyle's Halberd (increases Poison resistance by 25)

- Equip Bloodshield (just equipping Bloodshield increases Poison resistance by 50)

- Block with shields that have 100% Poison resist to prevent enemy attack's Poison buildup. Note that status effect buildup is not decreased by blocking in PvP: 
    - Spider Shield
    - Crystal Shield
    - Greatshield of Artorias

</div>### Enemies Immune to Toxic

<div id="bkmrk--3">---

</div>The Dung Pie, Toxic Mist, Gravelord Sword, and Dark Silver Tracer are items available to the player that can be used to inflict toxic upon enemies. However, the following enemies are fully resistant and cannot be inflicted with the effect:
