Players will get Root Rot in Remnant 2 when they wander too close to infectious clouds and elite enemies in the tree biomes. To fix this, you’ll need to make sure that you have the Oilskin Balm consumable or a piece of gear that can be found and used to prevent the effect. The easiest option is to buy the Oilskin Balm from the doctor at the home Ward.

Make sure that you have a couple in your inventory and that they’re equipped to one of your quick slots so that you can use them quickly when you get affected. Root Rot can wear down your health fairly quickly, so make sure that you stock up every time that you head back into one of the worlds, as getting caught in a bad position without it is deadly.

The trinket seller next to the crystal also sells rings, there is a chance that she could have a ring that helps prevent Root Rot, but this seems to be random.

Once you’ve cured yourself of the rot, get away from the danger and initial cause. Then use your relic to heal yourself so you can get back to full health. If you’ve got the Oaksilk Balm from the doctor, you’ll be able to fight back against the Root Rot in Remnant 2.
