7 Ways To Deal With CORRUPTION In Outward Definitive Edition (Beginners Guide)

Corruption is that green smoke you might have walked into in Outward. Definitive Edition changed the game by adding this stuff EVERYWHERE and it can be really frustrating to deal with if you have no idea how to deal with it. I myself recommend you either craft good potions using elemental particles with sanctifier potions or simply use cleanse from the hex mage skill tree. There are quite a few other ways to deal with corruption even though those are my favorite. Foods, potions, armors, and heck even a skeleton outfit can help you get through that stuff. Don't be afraid off corruption anymore, because this guide should fully explain what corruption does to you and how you can either prevent its effects or embrace them.
Outward is an RPG/survival game that allows you take to make an almost infinite number of builds. Melee, magic, archery, and even traps are scattered across this harsh world in the form of skills. You must have a large amount of money to purchase these skills, but luckily the monsters drop extremely valuable items. The game has been harshly criticized due to how realistic and difficult it is. Feel free to subscribe and watch me beat the crap out of some crazy monsters.

    You can use Mana Ward in the philosopher tree before making a blood stone to not take the initial 65 decay damage, then use a bandage.

    You bet! Corruption is a more lore accurate feature that anything else. It does get quite annoying at times, but kind needs to be in the game. Here are a few things that corruption adds: -Corruption builds which max out decay damage to one shot enemies sometimes -Deterrent, it prevents you from doing whatever you want in certain areas meaning you need to prepare a few potions or armor sets for those areas -Weakness, the stuff will weaken you to lightning by a lot. So it messes with gameplay and adds to the survival aspect. Corruption does suck at the start I 100% agree. Its very challenging to get rid of because you don't know what foods and potions can help you. But I do think it adds a lot to the world building. And once you get used to it it doesn't feel that bad anymore. At least for me.

    @@SheenShots Appreciate the response! Me and my partner have not long started playing through the game together so when we see all these interesting looking areas with the corruption fog we just get so dejected as we've essentially been locked out of them and are unlikely to return. I understand there are ways to mitigate the effects, but it just feels unnecessary and ruins the flow of the game for early game players, feels like it would've been better placed in later game areas imo. We'll keep plodding along though, having a blast otherwise!

    ya they should have made the soroborean caravanners carry exotic food stuffs from the antique region like milk sugar and wheat and a random other like crawl berry or purpkin products really any of the food vendors should have more variety from trade so you have more options in different regions. And also consider politics in the game so Cierzo, Berg, and Monsoon would likely have goods shared between their regions Levant would be more local only since the blue chamber is trying to starve them out.

    I can understand your frustration, so here are a few things that you might want to try: Stay out of corruption until later on when you have more materials. Head over to Harmattan straight away as it has tons of stuff to help. Grabbing the Hex skill tree really does make this stuff meaningless. You don't really need to fight anything in corruption zones so just run through them near the beginning. Nothing really different than what I mentioned in the video, but it is much more manageable than it seems at first. It is one of those mechanics that is there so you buy potions ahead of time and things like that. Don't give up mate you will get it!

    Corruption is a pretty big threat early on in the game. You don't have the resources to cure it. The ideal way to do it is clear the cabal wind temple running through the corruption zones as quickly as possible. There isn't anything in those areas anyway. Then sell in town and buy the potions from the alchemist to cure yourself. If you get really high, its rough no matter what. I would try to loot one shell horror if you can and run back to town to cure. That should give you enough silver to buy the potions.

    Since there are corruption zones on all maps, I miss the ingredients for potions or consumables on all maps as well. These basic ingredients like quartz and elementals are only found in Antique plateau -- or am I wrong?. A good improvement would be to have a doctor guy (???) in the cities that offers a cure for some silver or other ways of making potions, with different local ingredients, as it is with astral and life potion. Maybe the devs idea is not to eliminate corruption every time, but just to find ways to live with it and its debuff Well, it was a very useful and good editing video!
