When you’re playing the Elden Ring, you’ve probably heard about Scarlet Rot. This deadly buildup depletes your health quickly and takes over a minute to run out. To prevent it from spreading and killing you, there are a few things you can do to fight off the rot. Here are some of the most effective ways to survive this buildup. Defeating Malenia will reward you with 480,000 Runes. Defeating the boss will give you 480,000 Runes, which you can then use to craft Miquella’s Needle and Preserving Boluses.

Defeating Malenia rewards you with 480,000 Runes

Defeating Malenia can be very difficult, so it is recommended to use various strategies to deal with her. Her first attack is a giant flower, which explodes around the player and applies scarlet rot. This attack can be easily dodged, but if it hits you, it can cause great damage. Defeating Malenia will also reward you with 480,000 Runes, which will give you more resources to improve your character.

While defending your base, be aware that Malenia can heal herself if you hit her with a sword, so it is important to use your own health. Defeating her will grant you with 480,000 Runes, which you can use to enhance your equipment and summon new allied pets. You can use uplifting aromatic as a shield, which can give you a temporary buff.

Consuming Crimson Tear Flasks to cure scarlet rot

In order to use the Armorer’s Cookbook to cure Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring, you must have at least 14 Focus Points and twelve Faith. Consuming Sacred Flames helps cure Scarlet Rot but does not lower the rate at which it builds up. To cure Scarlet Rot permanently, use Incantation of Elemental Power.

Consuming Crimson Tear FlasKS to cure Scarlet Rot is a powerful cure for this status effect. The Flask is also a good way to heal yourself if you have the ability to heal. Scarlet Rot will drain your health quickly and will take you minutes to heal yourself. It is possible to cure Scarlet Rot by using HP flasks, but this will require you to spend a lot of time on it.

You can use Crimson Tear Flasks when you need to heal yourself. This magical potion restores HP each time you use it. Consuming Crimson Tear Flasks will also replenish your health if you die. They can be found in the Third Church of Marika, which is also near the statue of Marika.

Crafting Miquella’s Needle

The crafter’s needle, also called Miquella’s Needle, is a unique weapon that can help you stay alive when you’re under the effects of the Scarlet Rot. This magical weapon is made of unalloyed gold and is used to ward off the outer gods. It looks nothing like the anti-rot needle, which is used for warding off the flames.

The process of making Miquella’s Needle starts by acquiring an Unalloyed Gold Needle. You’ll need to find Millicent by assisting her. Be careful though, as killing her locks you out of the Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone reward. However, if you want to make Miquella’s Needle, you can try to help her as she fights the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Malenia.

Once you’ve collected enough gold, you’ll want to craft Miquella’s Needle. If you can’t make this item yet, you’ll need to grind a long time in order to get the gold. A high-quality gold needle is necessary for crafting Miquella’s Needle, but you must use it properly. Crafting a high-quality needle will increase your crafting speed.

Crafting Preserving Boluses

There are two main ways to survive Scarlet Rot: Crafting and preserving bolts. Crafting a Preserving Bolus will cure Scarlet Rot, and preserving a bolt will help you heal yourself once you’re infected. While you can use a Flame Cleanse Me Incantation to remove the effect, crafting a Preserving Bolus is much easier and more convenient for most players.

The first method is to use the Flame Cleanse Me incantation, which can be found on corpses in the eastern island of Liurnia. While using this method does work to treat Scarlet Rot, it’s not always as effective. You should consider crafting your own Preserving Boluses if you can afford it. They’re more reliable and cost less than using those bought in the market.
