# Dark Fog

<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-">  
![]()### In-Game Description

---

*A hex that releases a temporary localized mist.*  
*Those who breath in the mist are instantly*  
*assailed by poison.*

*This hex is regarded as a poison due to*  
*the outward symptoms, but in fact the mist*  
*eats away at the target's inner essence.*  
*Just the traits that led to the prohibition*  
*of hexing.*

### Use

---

Places a dark fog cloud in front of the cast point that can poison foes, for four seconds. Unlike other poison spells, the cloud materializes at the target rather than at the caster's location. Once mastered, the spell has a deceptively long range, potentially longer even than soul arrow.

### Availability

---

- Found at the bottom of the series of ladders under the second bonfire in the Gutter
- Sold by Straid of Olaphis for 5,200 souls
