Talk:Toxic (Dark Souls)/@comment-25173123-20140731035851

Toxic is basically poison until it reaches a level of becoming toxic.

I have been farming in painted world and dealing with the toxic zombies I can get hit one time with their mist and receive high poison infliction but not be toxic. But get hit a second time and it surpasses the poison limit and gives me toxic for 10 minutes.

So If I get hit by toxic zombie I just wait for the poison to wear off and attack again when it is zero. Never received toxic damage since. (lucky for me I have a strong sword that kills them with 2 hits minimum.)

So dealing with multiple toxic zombies just retreat until poison is cleared and reattack.
