Poison

Poison is a status effect in PSO. It can be inflicted by:

• poison traps
• Poison Lily's ranged attack
• certain growths in the rooms and hallways of Ruins

Mechanics

Players

Poison and paralysis will overwrite each other if inflicted on a player.

Poison will gradually drain a player's HP until it reaches 0 or until cured. The damage dealt by the effect scales with difficulty.

Poison does not wear off on its own. It will remain on a player even if they return to Pioneer 2; however, it will not damage players who are on Pioneer 2. It can be cured with Anti level 1 or greater, with an Antidote, or with a Sol Atomizer. An equipped Cure/Poison will prevent players from becoming poisoned, but will not cure any ongoing poison when equipped.

Monsters

Players have no means by which to directly apply the poison effect to monsters. A monster can become poisoned if it happens to be within the radius of a poison trap when it detonates, however this is a rare occurrence. Poison will function the same on the monster, gradually siphoning its health until it dies.
