3 status aliments on single weapon?

[Cr8ToR]

So i had few invades with 3 status aliments on a single weapon, it was bleed frost and poison
I have one question : Excuse me what the fak ?

[Sparhawk 59]

Yes its possible

[MULTIPASS]

Weapon starts with 'A', gets an ash of war that allows buffing the weapon with 'B', but applies a different infusion using a special whetstone that adds 'C'.

I'm having trouble thinking of how the weapon could have those 3 specifically. Bleed and poison are easy with the black whetknife, how do you get frost though?

Are you sure it was a single weapon ? Maybe it was dual wield and you got hit by the powerstance and got the status of both weapons.

- Innate Frost buildup
- Ashes of War such as "Chilling Mist"
- Glintstone Whetblade

For example, Flamberge. Has innate Bleed. You pick "Chilling Mist" as your AoW and Poison affinity. Alternatively, you pick "Poisonous Mist" as your AoW and then Cold affinity.

Congratulations, now you have a pretty good greatsword with three status effects.

I think its possible.
Take the Uchigatana for example, it has innate bleed effect. If you put the Poison affinity on it it will deal poison and bleed build-up while the actual numbers that are stacking are lower.
If you then buff this weapon with the greases i.E. the Frost Grease it will deal 3 status effects build-ups.

So i think it is clearly possible.

It was some sort of sythe weapon, i believe that i wasnt hit with frozen mist nor poison mist, it was 1 hit with sythe

You can't do that, though. You can't take a magic/INT ash and give it an arcane affinity, and you can't take a poison/ARC ash and give it a magic/INT affinity. You can only mix affinities of the same type.

The poison ash can be used with bleed, poison, or occult affinity. The frost ash can be used with magic or cold affinity.

This doesn't work either, I just checked. A weapon with poison affinity cannot take grease. You could use poison mist ash and give it something like keen affinity and use the weapon skill to add a poison buff, but the weapon can only take 1 buff at a time and the grease would overwrite the poison effect.

The only triple-status weapon I'm aware of is the antspur rapier. It starts with rot, and then through ashes you give it poison or bleed and the ability to buff with poison or bleed through the skill.

Fair enough. Checked every possible combination myself. Then either OP is feeding us false information or he encountered a cheater.

My guess is something happened in the fight that they just didn't pick up on. The scythe was probably bleed/frost which is very common, and the poison came from something else like an offhand dagger.

[Cr8ToR]

i would notice an offhand but he was 2 Handing sythe. im fairly new in elden ring so i had to ask coz this is my 2 nd time encountering this.1st with my game invader and 2nd(today) while i was helping some host

[MULTIPASS]

I really don't think there's any way for just a scythe attack to apply those 3 statuses, and genuine cheating is extremely rare for you to be encountering the same thing twice, so I'm inclined to think that since you're new there was something else going on that you just didn't pick up on.

[MULTIPASS]

When you say "2 handing scythe" do you mean holding one scythe with two hands, or two separate scythes in either hand? Because it's very believable that someone would have bleed/frost on one scythe and bleed/poison on another if they were powerstancing (dual wield).

[Cr8ToR]

it was 2H grip not dual wield.
question tho... can some sythe cast magic or incatations ?

[MULTIPASS]

Nope, weapons can have skills that look like spells but not actually casting your memorized sorceries or incantations. It was either a cheater, or much more likely they just used something else to apply the poison or frost and you just didn't realize it.

[TimeToBanzai]

He could have several identical-looking scythes, but with different status effects in his inventory, between which he switched. It's hard to say for sure until I see it live.
