Earthen Peak - loot in poison pool?

[pretorian]

I'm standing and looking at the pool just outside the Covetous Demon (returned there after burning the windmill). Now I noticed that there is loot, player messages and players running around in the pool. Is it possible to drain it even more than by just burning the mill?

No it isn't. Just use lifegems, they will make the damage stagnate.

Well, said pool is too deep and you die instantly. Unless there is a certain path you must walk.

The damage from poison is the same. just use lifegems while you take damage. Also it doesn't kill you instantly.

No, he's right about that. You can't walk everywhere in that poison, at some point you fall down and die instantly. There's some minor loot (and Lucatiel is standing there at some point).
However, you cannot lower that Poison. Just counter it like you'd counter the poison-coulds in the Harvest Valley, counter-heal the damage with 1-2 Lifegems.

Ahh, he is talking about that point. I was thinking about the gas parts.

No, that place is just a hole.

a hole with one path that leads to lucatiel. Pretty important if you are doing the questline isn't it?

OP, what you're seeing are reflections on the surface of the poison, dont ask how, but that place is just a hole.

Yeah, the glowy stuff looks more like the reflections of the lanterns in the level than item orbs. There is a path you can walk on through that pool, but it's pretty obvious and it's not anywhere near the part you screenshot'd.

I think draining the poison at Earthen Peak (next area) makes the poison drain down there as well (and makes it more obvious where the bottomless pits are), but I'm not sure.
