Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Does poison work on bosses?

Yes! Insect Breathing is one of the best boss-killer styles because the poison deals % HP damage, which shreds boss health bars.

Can I block the poison?

You can block the initial hit, but if the sting connects, the poison is applied and cannot be cleansed without a healing item.
