sanctified water trinket

[Spellrunner]

How does it works exactly? I thought it gives an opportunity to lit campfires witout taking curse on ng+, but seems it's not, so I don't understand what "sets shadow curse gain to 0%" means

It means if you were to take shadow curse while under that effect you won't instead.

Which doesn't answer OP's question at all, since they explained it doesn't work like that.

Based on this, I don't understand what it does and when it's supposed to work either. Anyone know if this is bugged, or just not supposed to work at the shadow orb (without saying so)? I just started NG+ and noticed small braziers that apparently added curse as well (wasn't explained ingame at all; I just noticed I suddenly had 22 curse and no idea where from, so I assumed it might have been those). Does the water allow you to light braziers without gaining curse? What are those for? Appreciate any explanations on this.

You gain curse from some attacks in NG+. The braziers are to lower curse, like the pyres

Once you get into NG+ some enemies attacks add Shadow Curse if they land, the item is so that for 30 seconds after drinking you can't get curse stacks from being hit. Would be a bit overpowered of a trinket if it basically just permanently let you take all 3 rewards from the shadow things for the cost of a single potion charge.

Ah I see, thank you! Yes I wasn't aware of this mechanic at all and facetanked everything that was coming my way. Until curse 45. :D
