Deathbell

A pale swamp flower from Hjaalmarch – one of the strongest Damage Health poison ingredients.

Deathbell is a drooping, pale flower that grows in the gloomy marshes of Hjaalmarch. Folklore says it springs up where people have died – the in-game herbalist found no proof of that, but its reputation as a poison is well earned. Its Damage Health is stronger than on most ingredients, and Weakness to Poison on the same flower makes that damage hit even harder.

Alchemy effects

The effects are listed in the order you discover them by eating the ingredient or using it in a potion. Two ingredients make a potion when they share at least one effect.

  4. Weakness to Poison – a poison effect that makes the target more vulnerable to poison. Also on: Abecean Longfin, Bleeding Crown, Chaurus Eggs, Giant Lichen, Pine Thrush Egg, Sabre Cat Tooth, Small Antlers.
