Poison Stone is a type of upgrade material in Dark Souls 2.
Usage
- Can only be used at Blacksmith Steady Hand Mc Duff
- Used to imbue equipment with poison. This reduces the Strength and Dexterity scaling, but adds poison build up. (Different weapons add different tiers of scaling). Increases poison resistance on shields.
- Recommended to infuse it onto weapons which heavy attack is equal to hitting the target three times, such as Channeler's Trident and Pickaxe.
Location
- Corpse on the left of the stairs guarded by two wardens which leads to Mytha, The Baneful Queen.
- Harvest Valley, from the area with the three Crystal Lizards, proceed down the hallway to the left until you can turn left again. Make a short drop off of the ledge to find the stone in a chest before a ladder that leads to poison mist.
- Obtained from three crawling enemies up stairs at Rise of the Dead bonfire in Shrine of Amana
- Possible to get when trading Smooth & Silky stone to Dyna and Tillo.
- 3 can be bought from Stone Trader Chloanne for 7000 Souls each.
- 1 is in a body in Shulva - Sanctum City, next to the body that has a Long Bow+7, in the DLC Crown of the Sunken King
Drops from
- Worms (Black Gulch)
- Poisoned Sanctum Soldiers in Dragon's Sanctum.

AnonymousThey also drop from Basilisks, making the Basilisk by the first Bonfire in the Shaded Woods the best farming source of them in the early game. It only takes at most 30 seconds per run so it's also pretty efficient.
Though you will also get a ton of other Infusion stones as they can drop pretty much all of them (take this as a tip for farming ANY infusion stones in the early-game), so you won't know if you got what you wanted until you actually pick up the item.

tf do you mean "worms" in Black Gulch? the worm-like hand things that grab you from the tar pits? or the worm-like salamander things that burst from the walls? especially when these enemies already have names, it's very confusing to rename them so generically. in either case, i'll be taking my chances in harvest valley's pits rather than farming enemies that may or may not be the right ones in a poison-hell area.

This and bleed stone also drop pretty regularly from the crawly guys under the poison pool in front of the scorpion boss room under the hidden bonfire in earthen peak (only tested on NG, easier if you burn the windmill first)

For anyone wondering, YES, this is a useful item for PVP. Be you a Sorcerer, Pyromancer, Cleric, or Hexer, Poison is an amazing addition to your build. I am a Sorcerer/Hexer mix, and I use the Moon Butterfly Wings and a Poison Spear. Conclusion: God's gift to Dark Souls II. I poison my foes, and if they run from it I just use Dark Hail.

Confirmed drop from basilisks (tested in Things Betwixt), as well as the enemies crawling in the poison fog at Harvest Valley.
