Poison (status)

Poison (毒, どく, Doku?), sometimes abbreviated to Pois, is a common status effect in the Final Fantasy series, and appears in every single installment. Poisoned units take damage each turn during battle, and may take damage out of battle depending on the game, however it can only kill them when in battle.

In some games, the poison may remain after the battle, depending on what monster poisoned the character. This does not necessarily mean that the character will take damage while walking, but the character will be poisoned at the start of battles, and the poison will remain throughout the battle until it is cured. However, some monsters' poisons are temporary and the characters recover from it during the battles.

The damage from poison usually occurs after the character's turn. In some games, the damage will not occur if the poisoned character slays all of the enemies the party is facing, but this bug was fixed in later games. In some later games using the ATB system, poison damage occurs every couple of seconds, more often when Haste is in effect.

Poison can be cured by using an Antidote. Several games also have a spell called Poisona which cures Poison, and Esuna or Basuna will also cure the effect. This is another debuff called Venom which is alternatively stronger or weaker than Poison and may have different penalties and cures.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy[]

Poison removes 1/20 of the afflicted character's maximum HP at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spell Poisona.

This status can be inflicted on the party through the use of the attack Poison Darts and through a majority of physical attacks, including those of the Ooze, Snake, and Wolf family. Due to a bug in the game, enemies cannot be Poisoned, though it is impossible to do so as there is no way of inflicting the status on enemies.

Final Fantasy II[]

Poison removes a small amount of HP from the afflicted character at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spell Esuna at any level.

Final Fantasy III[]

Poisoned characters will lose 1/16 of their max HP at the end of each round, and while walking on the field map, will lose 1 HP per step. Damage taken from Poison outside of battle cannot kill a Poisoned character.

Game Element	Type	Effect
Hellish Claws	Weapons	Inflicts Poison when attacking physically.
Poison Arrow	Weapon	Inflicts Poison.
Poison Dagger	Weapon	Inflicts Poison when attacking physically.

In addition to the above, several monsters can inflict Poison through physical attacks, being the Killer Bee, Poison Bat, Hermit, Hornet, Poison Toad, Needle Monkey, Death Needle, Ouroboros, and Greater Boros.

Final Fantasy IV[]

When poisoned, characters' skin turn a purplish hue and falls to a crouching position. Enemies gain no visual appearance when poisoned. Poison damages a character periodically during battle for 1/8 of their max HP and may last outside of battle, removing 1 HP for every step taken on the field.

All Poisoned characters also lose 42 HP if Teleport is cast. Higher Stamina slows the frequency. Haste accelerate the effect, while Slow delays it. The status disables Yang's Focus command.

All the SNES versions, the original Japanese GBA port, and the North American Advance release, contain a bug where resistance to Poison is ignored for both player characters and monsters. Poison still fails in boss battles, because all status spells are made not to work on bosses. The bug is fixed in the second Japanese GBA port and the European Advance version.

In the 3D version, Poison affects some bosses like Antlion and Leviathan. When an enemy or ally is poisoned, the poison damage is 1% of their max HP and is more consequently than non-3D versions.

The Poison status returns as a status effect and it functions the same way as its predecessor.

The player can inflict it through the Poisontouch auto-ability, by using the Viper Extract item, or through the Black Mage's ability Bio. It can be healed with the Antidote Drink and Esuna Salve items or by the White Mage's ability Esuna.

Final Fantasy XI[]

Poison is a DoT effect inflicted by spells such as Poison, Poison II, and Poisonga, as well as numerous creature abilities. Poison has no additional stat debuff, and must be cured with Poisona (or a Wyverns Remove Breath) rather than Erase. Barpoison and Barpoisonra increase the the chance of a resist, shortening the duration or negating the poisoning entirely; effects that automatically inflict poison ignore this effect. Poison damage will wake characters from most forms of Sleep, and Poison Potions are sometimes used by players to exploit this effect.

As of the August 10, 2022 patch, there is now an unremovable version of poison status called Tainted (劇毒, gekidoku?, lit. deadly poison), which the afflicted players have no choice but to simply wait out.

Final Fantasy XII[]

Poison courses through the character's veins, draining HP for the duration. Remove with an Antidote.

Description

The status effect Poison damages the target for 6.25% of their max HP at certain intervals, but wears off over time. It can be cured using the items Antidote and Remedy and the spells Poisona, Esuna and Esunaga. An enemy's death by Poison does not count toward Chain level. When inflicted on an enemy vulnerable to Poison, it allows the team to eliminate an enemy without breaking chains. The damage from Poison is also unaffected by Reverse.

The Poison spell can be used after purchasing the Green Magick 2 license for 30 LP and can be bought in Rabanastre or Nalbina for 500 gil. In the Zodiac versions, the spell is found in the Dalmasca Estersand (Sand-Swept Naze) and its license is Black Magick 5 and costs 40 LP.

Final Fantasy XIII[]

Poison is a DoT effect that constantly damages the target's HP, draining a percentage of the target's total health. Like all status ailments, Poison is inflicted more often and lasts longer the higher the target's chain bonus is. In addition, it lasts for one more second for every 100 points of Magic the caster has.

Poison removes about 0.32% of the afflicted target's total health per second, or about 19.2% per minute. Poison alone can remove all of a target's health in just over 5 minutes. Because it removes a fixed percentage over time regardless of the number of hitpoints, it is advantageous on enemies with lots of HP. Unfortunately, most high HP enemies are immune to Poison. Two of the highest-HP enemies, however, Vercingetorix and Long Gui, are susceptible.

While summoning an Eidolon, the duration of Poison will be paused in Gestalt Mode, although it will continue to deal damage. When using an Eidolon's finisher attack, the opposite is instead true.

Poison is a common and generic damage-over-time effect inflicted by various creatures in Eorzea, marked with a red claw-like icon. With a few exceptions, it can almost always be removed by Esuna/Leeches/Exalted Detriment or by using an Antidote. Some poison may have a stacking property, where the number of stacks indicates the intensity of the damage.

A similar but distinct effect is Pollen, which is colored magenta and applies only while standing in harmful terrain effects.

Final Fantasy XV[]

Some enemies can inflict Poison on the party, which gradually drains the afflicted target's HP and disables HP regeneration. Targets with Poison will not have their HP reduced below 1.
