Scarlet Rot is one of the few status effects that can be inflicted through various means in Elden Ring. It is arguably one of the most deadly ones in the game, though not as strong as the Bleed status effect.

When Scarlet Rot is inflicted, it damages the health bar of the enemy over time. The build-up in itself does not scale off the weapon level or by any other means, and the only way to reduce it is by enhancing the immunity stat. Players can also use Preserving Boluses to cure Scarlet Rot.

In Elden Ring, there are various weapons that players can obtain to inflict Scarlet Rot. In this list, five of those have been mentioned so that players can have an easy time choosing the right weapon.

This is probably one of the best weapons in the game to inflict Scarlet Rot on enemies. Apart from being a Thrusting Sword and boasting swift attack animation, the weapon can also be infused with ashes of war.

This means that players can infuse it with the Bleed status effect. The combination of Bleed and Scarlet Rot is deadly, and very few bosses in the game have the tenacity to stand against the same.

This is another interesting weapon that can be used in various ways within the game. To make the most out of the Rotten Battle Hammer, players should try to get a second copy of it and dual wield the same.

Since it can be infused with Ashes of War, it is recommended that gamers put poison on the weapon. This combination of rot and poison, along with the dual wield, is absolutely deadly and is something that can massacre most of the enemies in the game very quickly.
