Blood Loss is a status effect in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
Blood Loss is usually caused by serrated, thorned, exremely sharp, or bloodstained weapons. Spells and items affiliated with the Lord of Blood also cause this status effect.
Mechanics[]
Deals a combination of flat and percentual damage when inflicted and humanoid or smaller enemies, and Tarnished, are slightly staggered. The flat damage is usually 100, but increases to 200 when done by Somber Smithing Stone-upgraded weapon with innate Blood Loss and Arcane-scaling or by a regular Smithing Stone-upgraded with innate Blood Loss and with the Blood-affinity. The percentual damage depends on the enemy: normal ones and Tarnished take 15% damage, bosses and enemies that directly accompany them take 10.5% damage, and the Lord of Blood takes 7.5% damage.
Additionally, the blood loss inflicted by Mohg's Nihil attack is unique and only inflicts percentual damage, roughly 33% damage on each of the first two pulses and about 66% on the final pulse. Using the Purifying Crystal Tear greatly reduces this damage to about 5% on the first two pulses and 10% on the final one.
Blood loss can also be inflicted on someone in the middle of invincibility frames, such as a roll, though this only causes the stun and not the damage.
