Ooze Bomb

Ooze bomb is a thrown weapon that creates a poison cloud on impact. It is crafted at a level 1 Workbench, cannot be upgraded, and stacks up to 50. It is available once the player has reached the Swamp and defeated Oozers.

When thrown, the bomb creates a 4-meter radius poison cloud that lasts 10 seconds. Any creature or player caught in the area, except the thrower, takes poison damage while inside the cloud, and the effect continues for several seconds after leaving it. Keeping a target in the cloud refreshes the damage, allowing a single bomb to inflict nearly 97 poison damage over its full duration. The damage does not scale with the player’s skill, but it is reduced by the target’s poison resistance.

Ooze bomb can be used alongside a shield, making it a useful crowd-control tool rather than a direct damage weapon. Its strength is in hitting multiple enemies at once; this is especially effective in tight spaces such as Frost Caves. Multiple Ooze bombs do not stack their poison damage.

A throw costs 8 stamina and has a 4x sneak attack multiplier. Its listed combat values include 1 quality, 5 slash, 5 stagger, and 40 knockback. It also has a 0.3 weight, 2–3 defensive value, 3–4.5 parry force, and a 1.5x parry bonus.

Its crafting ingredients are obtained from common early- to mid-game sources:

• Ooze from Blobs and Oozers in the Swamp
• Leather Scraps from Meadows chests, Boars, Bats, or Muddy scrap piles
• Resin from Greydwarfs, Greydwarf shamans, Greydwarf brutes, and chopped Birch, Pine, and Small Beech trees
