Skyrim Player Creates Particularly Powerful Poison

gamerant.com:

A Skyrim player has created a powerful Poison of Lingering Damage Health with five effects. Potions and poisons are important items in Skyrim, and this player may have found the most essential poison in the game.

The first time that Skyrim players will find potions and poisons is in the Helgen Keep tutorial level.

The poison causes 46 poison damage and causes enemies up to level 37 to flee from combat for 30 seconds. 139 poison damage is immediately inflicted on the enemy, while the target is paralyzed for 46 seconds and has 50% reduced movement speed for 232 seconds. This means that they can't flee for the first 30 seconds due to being paralyzed, but upon coming out of their stun, they move a lot slower.

This poison weighs the same as others, but its total worth is an astronomical 8,681 gold. This isn't the only poison that can carry 5 effects, as players can acquire two others with their own powerful abilities. Multiple Fortification potions also offer similar benefits. In most cases, gamers will create these potions and poisons at an Alchemy table, with effects boosted by putting points into the corresponding Skyrim ability. According to the Reddit user, this poison was created with an Imp Stool, Poison Bloom, and Rot Scale. The Imp Stool is
