A Reddit user named Flint_Vorselon has uploaded a video with this strategy, showing how players can survive theLake of Rot inElden Ringfor an extended duration. The user first equipsElden Ringtalismans that increase immunity before changing their gear to improve this stat even further. After they are done changing equipment, the player traverses the Lake of Rot as a meter showing the status of Scarlet Rot starts to build up. The player starts gradually losing HP after getting inflicted with Scarlet Rot, but the increased immunity and a ridiculous health bar allow them to last longer in this condition.
In one of the comments, Flint_Vorselon has described the strategy in great detail, complete with the list of items and equipment players will require. They mention that they are currently atmax level inElden Ring, with 2,100 health and 230 immunity. The user then shares all the items that increase immunity, with 975 being the total required for this tactic. Additionally, their final health sits at 3,243, which ultimately allows them to survive in the Lake of Rot for around 49 seconds.
Many users in the comments section discuss the effects of Scarlet Rot and how it works inElden Ring, as gamers talk about how its damage output is calculated. One fan shares another helpful tactic for surviving in this area, as they claim that rolling in Scarlet Rot builds it up at a slower rate, while also reducing the damage output of this status effect. Some users also comment on the ridiculous health bar showcased in the video, with a few players taking this opportunity to share their dislike for the Lake of Rot.
