How To Apply Poison

You can apply poisons like Dollmaker to your weapons or arrows. Use the potion and a new window will appear — you don’t drink it yourself — allowing you to choose what you’d like to apply the poison to. You can apply poison directly to melee weapons like your sword or apply to arrows and bolts to make winning any fight easy.

Using Dollmaker, any fight will be a breeze if you’ve been practicing with arrows.

• Use Dollmaker Poison in your inventory.
• A new menu will appear. Select arrows or bolts.
• This will apply Dollmaker to a set number of ammo. It will last forever, but only apply to a certain number of munitions.

TIP: To avoid wasting Dollmaker Poison arrows, create two weapon loadouts with the same weapon but select two different types of arrows. That way you can quickly swap between ammo types.

• With Dollmaker applied, shoot your target. This will disable running, letting you move away easily. While the poison is applied, swap to standard arrows and keep plunking away.
• The hobbled enemy will move so slowly, they won’t be able to catch up to you. They’ll eventually realize this and try to run away, but they’re so slow you’ll easily be able to finish them off.

This also works with melee weapons like swords. Apply Dollmaker Potion to your sword to fight multiple opponents. The poison doesn’t dissipate as you use it — it only stops after a long time. The applied poison usually lasts about 4~ in-game days, so you’ll have plenty of buff for your sword. When fighting groups of enemies, smack them with your sword to apply Dollmaker, then switch targets until everyone is weakened. Then you can finish them off a lot easier. It’s almost broken how useful this poison can be.
