Getting caught in a deathly cloud of poison isn’t a great idea in Baldur’s Gate 3. Poison is rarely good for your health, and breathing it in does terrible things to your lungs. We highly advise you to avoid any airborne poisons, but we are also aware you don’t always have a choice in the matter.

Poison Clouds are not a fun time, but they are not all that lethal in the grand scheme. They do fairly low damage, but they do that damage on the regular if you decide to linger. Thankfully, these clouds can be removed in most cases. 

Most poison clouds spring up from vents, and these vents can be dealt with in two ways. Firstly, you can use a thief to disarm whatever trap keeps that poison flowing. This isn’t a healthy way to deal with the problem, however, as you will take damage approaching the source. 

You can also throw any fire-based attack or item into the cloud. This will cause a rather devastating explosion which will clear the cloud temporarily. You can use this period to run through the area quickly or to discern where vents are hiding. 

Finally, you can throw large objects and items on top of the vent. So long as the vent is covered, the cloud will vanish. You can use items in the environment or from your inventory. 

In reality, you should be using a mixture of all three of these strategies
