Poison Arrow

Poison Arrow

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

Description

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.

Stats

  • 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

Properties

  • 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

Creation

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.

Mechanics

  • 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

Availability

  • 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

Strategy

  • 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

Notes

Poison Arrows are a key part of the alchemy system, allowing players to create powerful ammunition from common resources. They're particularly effective when fighting multiple enemies or in situations where you can maintain distance.
