Ranking the Best Perfume Bottles in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Aug-06-2024

 

 

The Shadow of the Erdtree for Elden Ring brings a host of new weapons and items, including the highly anticipated Perfume Bottles. These bottles allow players to hurl deadly concoctions, previously only seen used by enemies in the base game, making them powerful additions to any Tarnished's arsenal. Here, we rank and explore the best Perfume Bottles in the DLC, detailing their unique properties and how to acquire them.

 

 

 

S Tier - Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle

The Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle is a standout weapon in this expansion. It's the only Perfume Bottle that uses Somber Smithing Stones for upgrades, capping at +10. The Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. It excels in building up the Poison status effect, dealing devastating damage over time. When used, it scales with Dexterity and Arcane, both reaching a C at max level. The unique Ash of War, Deadly Poison Spray, poisons both enemies and the player, but with the right equipment like the Kindred of Rot's Exultation talisman, this can turn into a significant advantage.

 

How to Get:

Near the Pillar Path Cross, east of Castle Ensis, you can purchase it from Thiollier using 6000 runes.

 

 

 

S Tier - Lightning Perfume Bottle

The Lightning Perfume Bottle does a exactly lightning damage to the enemy, upgrading to +25 and gaining a C scaling in Dexterity and Faith. This bottle is perfect for players facing enemies resistant to fire, offering a versatile way to tackle different combat scenarios. Its unique attacks can deal up to 1000 damage quickly if used strategically.

 

How to Get:

You can find it on a corpse guarded by Lightning Ram in the northeast of the the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. There are many enemies around here, you can choose to defeat them and accumulate more diablo 4 gold, or choose to turn a blind eye.

 

 

A Tier - Firespark Perfume Bottle

The Firespark Perfume Bottle is ideal for Dexterity-focused builds seeking to deal fire damage. These bubbling bottles release a flammable powder that ignites, similar to the enemies that use them in the base game, dealing fire damage. The weapon scales up to a B in Dexterity at +25. Its Ash of War, Rolling Sparks, emits flammable powder that ignites to deal consistent fire damage. It's a reliable choice for players looking to diversify their arsenal beyond traditional melee weapons.

 

How to Get:

It is located in the chest guarded by the Perfumers and Messmer Soldiers south of the Castle Front Site of Grace.

 

 

A Tier - Chilling Perfume Bottle

This bottle offers magic damage and Frostbite buildup, making it an excellent choice for Intelligence-based builds. The Frostbite status effect is particularly potent, reducing enemy health significantly and increasing the damage they take for a short duration. This bottle scales with Dexterity and Intelligence (both C at +25), making it a great addition to any sorcerer's toolkit.

 

How to Get:

It can be found in the Lamenter's Gaol, a chilling area within the Cerulean Coast.

 

 

 

D Tier - Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle

The Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle deals fire damage and builds up the Madness status effect. While it scales with Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith, its scaling is not particularly strong (C in Dexterity, D in the others). The Madness effect can be powerful but takes time to build up, making this bottle less effective in fast-paced combat situations.

 

How to Get:

Looted from a body in the northern section of the Abandoned Church in the Abyssal Woods.

 

 

In the treacherous lands of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the introduction of Perfume Bottles has added a new dimension to combat for Tarnished warriors. From deadly poisons to crackling lightning, each bottle offers a unique strategy for players to master. Whether you prefer to ignite foes with fiery explosions or freeze them with chilling magic, these Perfume Bottles are essential tools for any adventurer. Choose wisely, hone your skills, and let the scent of battle guide you through the darkness.
