How to get Scarlet Rot resistance in Elden Ring

sportskeeda.com:

One of the new status effects in Elden Ring is Scarlet Rot. Considering how often the rot appears, players may want to make sure they have resistance ready. Without any protection from the red-colored rot, players' health bars will quickly melt away and eat up any Crimson Tears they have.

Scarlet Rot acts a lot like poison does in effect, but it does far more damage per tick than poison ever could. It makes the status effect far more dangerous, but like any FromSoftware game, there are counters. The new crafting system also offers far more options for players as they explore the world.

There are a few different ways that players can resist Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring, along with any other type of status effect in the game. They each have their own special counters along with shared options that span the entire library of effects.

With preparation and new mechanics, players can easily get ready to face rot in any circumstance, be it a boss or an area.

Scarlet Rot resistance items in Elden Ring:

Overall, crafting is one of the best options for getting fast resistance in the game. But players will need the right materials and tools for that.

To start crafting in Elden Ring, players can buy a crafting kit directly from Kale at the beginning of the game. He is always found at the Church of Elleh in Limgrave, so it's easy to get to.

One they have the kit, players will need the correct recipe along with ingredients. To make the Preserving Rot Boluses, players will need a Dewkissed Herba, Crystal Cave Moss, and Sacramental Bud. These can be made at any time and make the rot mechanic much more manageable in Elden Ring.
