### Status Ailments

---

Status ailments happen when attacks apply status points on you until they overcome your resistance. This is displayed to you by a bar on your screen with an icon and a inner color bar that fills it. The bar lengthens as you increase your resistances. The colored bar retracts as long as you are not being subjected to the status effect. Toxic is the only one which does not have a corresponding resistance and is instead affected by Poison Resistance.  
  
<table><tr><th>Icon</th><th>Status</th><th>Notes</th></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>Poison</td><td>Drains HP at a steady rate.</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>Toxic</td><td>Stronger version of Poison.</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>Curse</td><td>Turns player hollow and decreases Max. HP</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>Petrification</td><td>Turns player to stone and kills them.</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>Bleed</td><td>Drains 200 HP and reduces Max. Stamina for 10 Seconds.</td></tr></table>

### Environmental Effects

---

There are a few ways that the player can become coated with a substance from the environment. The player will remain visibly coated for a period of time, though unlike Status Ailments, there is no indication bar or alert of any kind. The character will become dryer from head to toe, with the effects of the substance disappearing upon returning completely to normal.
