A Poison Knife is a consumable item in Bloodborne.
Description[]
In-Game Description
- A knife slathered in poison.
- This curved knife is as thin and sharp as a surgeon's blade. Often used for self-defense by special doctors in the Healing Church.
- They say that hunters traditionally avoid the use of poison, likely because the poison is too slow to act in the heat of the hunt.
Availability[]
- Many can be found on the path to Arianna's house, and yet more in the misty streets near the Black Church Set.
- A lot of them can be found within the building where players first find the Afflicted Beggar. The items can be found near him.
- Becomes purchaseable from the Bath Messengers after finding the Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge.
Effect[]
Used to inflict the slow poison effect on enemies. Most enemies that can be poisoned will be affected by it within 2-4 hits of the item.
It is an item that is definitely useful against NPC Hunters, but must be used carefully as most hunters can dodge them with ease.
Notes[]
- Extremely useful against Henryk, since the battlefield is littered with graves that make him dodge less effectively, and because players can be ignored by Henryk as soon as Eileen appears.
- Effective against the Abhorrent Beast found in the Forbidden Woods.
- Different enemies require different amounts of knives to be poisoned. The Abhorrent Beast requires only one. The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst requires 3 or 4 to be poisoned. Most enemies require only 2.
Trivia[]
- Shares the exact animation as the Throwing Knives.
- It seems this item was not meant to be used on the beasts, but rather on humans. Even stranger, considering it was made by the Healing Church.
- The Japanese name for this item is '毒メス', meaning 'Poison Scalpel'.
