A strategy has been provided by an Elden Ring player to aid gamers in surviving the treacherous Lake of Rot. Despite being more accessible than other FromSoftware titles, Elden Ring is still an immensely challenging game. Players will encounter numerous formidable bosses, while the regular enemies can easily overpower them. In addition, players will encounter hazardous environments that can cause death. Lake of Rot is one such perilous area in Elden Ring, reminiscent of the swamps in the Dark Souls games. A fan has now shared a clever tactic that can enable gamers to endure in this dangerous location.
A Reddit user named Flint_Vorselon has shared a video showcasing a strategy to survive the challenging Lake of Rot in Elden Ring for an extended period. The strategy involves equipping Elden Ring talismans to increase immunity, followed by adjusting gear to further enhance this stat. As the player explores the Lake of Rot, a meter indicating the level of Scarlet Rot begins to accumulate. While inflicted with Scarlet Rot, the player gradually loses HP, but thanks to the boosted immunity and a substantial health bar, they are able to endure this condition for a longer duration.
In one of the comments, Flint_Vorselon provides a comprehensive explanation of the strategy, including a detailed list of the required items and equipment. They mention being at the maximum level in Elden Ring, boasting 2,100 health and 230 immunity. The user also shares the specific items that contribute to increasing immunity, totaling 975. Ultimately, with a final health of 3,243, they are able to survive in the Lake of Rot for approximately 49 seconds.
In the comments section, many users are discussing the effects and mechanics of Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring. Gamers are sharing their thoughts on how the damage output is calculated and offering helpful tactics for survival. One fan suggests that rolling in Scarlet Rot slows down its buildup and reduces the damage it inflicts. The video also showcases a large health bar, and some players express their dislike for the Lake of Rot. Elden Ring is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
