Poison Arrow

Poison Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that poisons enemies on hit.

A wooden arrow with a head soaked in poison. When this arrow hits an enemy, it applies a poison status effect, causing continuous damage over time. This is created by “moistening” a Common Arrow with a Potion of Toxic Gas.

• Damage: 1-3 points
• Delay: 1.0x (relative to weapon firing speed)
• Durability: Single use (consumed on impact)
• Price: Cannot be purchased in shops; only created through moistening
• Weight: 1

• Type: Throwing/Ammunition (Special)
• Usage: For use with ranged weapons like bows
• Consumable: Each arrow is consumed after being shot
• Stackable: Can stack up to very high quantities
• Special Effect: Poisons the target on hit, causing damage over time

Poison Arrows can be created by using a Potion of Toxic Gas on regular Common Arrows. This process is called “moistening” and transforms the basic arrow into one with special properties.

• When hitting an enemy, applies the Poison status effect
• Poison causes 1 damage per turn until it wears off or enemy dies
• Poison effect stacks with existing poison, refreshing duration
• Does not stack with other status effects like Paralysis or Burning

• Creation Only: Cannot be found as random loot; must be created by moistening
• Required Materials: Common Arrow + Potion of Toxic Gas
• Alchemy: Part of the game's alchemy system for creating special ammunition

• Excellent for dealing sustained damage without expending many resources
• Good against enemies with moderate health that can be poisoned to death
• Consider when facing groups, as poison will continue to weaken them over time
• Be careful not to waste on enemies that can clear poison quickly or are immune
• Effective against enemies that don't kill you immediately, allowing the poison to work
