It's no secret that FromSoftware loves the idea of a poison swamp. They have been featured in all SoulsBorne games and provide a massive challenge to expert players of the genre. Elden Ring is no exception in this regard as multiple locations will kill the player if they linger for too long.

The largest of these areas is the Lake of Rot, the place where allegedly the Outer God of Scarlet Rot is sealed deep beneath. This massive site will infect the Tarnished with Rot after stepping in it for more than a couple of seconds, but there are a few tips and tricks to get through this Elden Ring area alive.
This area can be reached from the main Ainsel River, players simply need to move southwest from the Nokstella Waterfall Basin Site of Grace. Along this path will be a lift that will take the Tarnished down to the starting point of the Lake of Rot. Once the Tarnished rests at the Lake of Rot Shoreside Site of Grace, they will be able to loot the map fragment of the area from a corpse on the shore.
Exploration in this area is tricky and will quickly drain a lot of the player's resources just by surviving. Therefore, a great, low-risk way of collecting items while exploring this site is to warp back to the Lake of Rot Shoreside Site of Grace every time the player is close to death from the Scarlet Rot.
The Preserving Boluses are absolutely vital for staving off the Scarlet Rot, although the player should be aware that the status effect will begin climbing again the second that the buildup has been neutralized. There are also a number of different items that the player can equip to make this area dramatically easier.
