You might think that being a knight means always fighting fair, but let’s be real—sometimes, you need to get a little sneaky. Whether you’re a shadowy assassin, a cunning trickster, or just someone who enjoys watching enemies drop like flies without getting your hands dirty, poison arrows are your best friend in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Applying poison to arrows and bolts lets you take out enemies from a distance without ever breaking a sweat. Fire off a shot into a bandit’s knee? Boom—down he goes. Send a poisoned arrow flying into a guard on a castle wall? He won’t be standing there for long. So, if you’re ready to embrace the dark side (or just want an easier way to handle fights), here’s everything you need to know about poisoning from the shadows.

Slathering your arrows in poison isn’t just about dipping them in something nasty and hoping for the best. There’s a proper way to do it.
Not all poisons are created equal. Some are subtle, some are downright evil, and some just make people take an unexpected nap. Here are the best ones for your poisoned arsenal:
This one is brutal. It makes running impossible and slowly drains health over 30 seconds. If you want to watch enemies slowly crumble while they panic, Bane is your go-to. It’s normally better for poisoning food (you know, for those "accidents"), but hey—arrows work, too.

The name says it all. Lullaby knocks people out, making it perfect for when you want to avoid a fight rather than start one. Need to slip past an enemy? Knock them out first and stroll by like nothing happened.
The best choice for arrows. It stops enemies from running, messes up their weapon skills, and in stronger versions, straight-up kills them. If you’re planning to take down a group of enemies before they can even react, this is the poison to use.

So, where do you actually get poison? Here are your best bets:
If you want the smoothest gaming experience, getting a dedicated server is the way to go. No lag, no crashes, just pure medieval mayhem. Whether you’re sneaking around poisoning enemies or going full knight in shining armor, a dedicated server ensures your game runs like a dream. Scalacube offers some of the best server hosting options, making it easy to set up and play with friends. Whether you’re planning ambushes or just exploring, having your own server means you’re in control of the game world.
Poisoned arrows in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 give you the upper hand, allowing you to take down enemies from a distance without a direct fight. Whether you prefer a slow and painful takedown with Bane, a sneaky knockout with Lullaby, or total combat disruption with Dollmaker Potion, the choice is yours. Stock up on poison from apothecaries, loot them from bandits, or craft your own to always stay prepared. Knowing how to masterfully use poison puts you in control of annihilating threats without them reaching you. That’s right, you can stealthily strike from the shadows. Whether you are an assassin or someone who enjoys a tactical advantage, poisoned arrows will serve as your secret weapon. Go out there and make your enemies regret coming across your path. Now that you know how to get, apply, and use poison effectively, the question is—who’s your first target?
Nope! Once you apply poison to arrows or bolts, there’s no going back. If you change your mind, you’ll need to craft or buy fresh, unpoisoned arrows.
Dollmaker Potion is your best bet for combat—it stops enemies from running, weakens their weapon skills, and, in stronger versions, drains their health fast.
Yes! The stronger the poison, the more arrows you can coat at once. Weaker poisons will only let you poison a few, so choose wisely.
Apothecaries and herbalists are your go-to shops for poisons and recipes. You can also loot them from bandits' storage chests or earn them through side quests.
