Leaves the player more vulnerable in prolonged fights
Wears off after approximately 2 minutes

🤢 Sources

💡 Tips & Strategies

Pro Tip: Always bring strong healing items and avoid getting surrounded by enemies that inflict Nauseated.

Retreat to a safe area while the debuff timer runs out
Equip rings or bring bombs to quickly clear groups of enemies
Avoid entering combat against Serpents without full health and energy
Be cautious in Skull Cavern, where multiple enemies can chain this effect
