Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin · Infusion
Poison infusion
Poison infusion adds Poison buildup while reducing base physical damage and Strength and Dexterity scaling.
How it works
Poison Stone is the listed material. The source reports that an uninfused, un-upgraded weapon gains 112 Poison effect and loses 30.5% base Physical damage; Strength and Dexterity scaling decrease by one or two letter grades. For a weapon with additional non-Physical damage, the cited table instead describes 96 added Poison effect and an 11% reduction to all base damage types. Bows, Greatbows, and Crossbows cannot receive Poison infusion.
