About this item

Craftable item prepared using a cracked pot.

Powdered volcanic rock is sealed inside, and a short rope that aids throwing has been secured around the pot.

Thrown at rearward enemies to disperse a cloud of heat, dealing continuous damage to those caught inside for a short duration.

Crafting after obtaining Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [20]

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: First Mt. Gelmir Campsite

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [20]
• Empty Cracked Pot
• Ingredients for one pot: 2 Volcanic Stone and 1 String
• 3,000 runes

1. Reach Altus Plateau using both Dectus Medallion halves at the Grand Lift of Dectus, or climb the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar.
2. Travel around northern Altus and cross the rope bridge near Writheblood Ruins to Bridge of Iniquity. Follow the lower road with the cliff on your left.
3. Near the Abductor Virgins, find the long ladder between two torches on that left cliff. Climb it and activate First Mt. Gelmir Campsite on the upper ledge.
4. Continue northwest past the siege tower and cross the narrow natural rock bridge. A Grafted Scion drops into the next camp; defeat it or move past it to climb the ladder against the cliff.
5. At the next landing, take the ladder on the left. The merchant is on the ledge along this climb. Stop at his campfire before continuing higher toward Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
6. Buy the cookbook for 3,000 runes. The merchant is on the ladder route, before the higher Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite and Fallingstar Beast.
7. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kale at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is unavailable. Keep the cookbook; it remains usable after learning its recipes.
8. Collect the listed ingredients and keep an empty Cracked Pot. Open Item Crafting outside combat, prepare Roped Volcano Pot and assign it to a quick-item slot or pouch.

Notes

• Drops a damaging Fire cloud behind you. It is meant for a pursuing enemy rather than a normal forward throw toward a locked target.
• Damage favors Strength with weaker Dexterity scaling, and the cloud lasts roughly three seconds. The target needs to stay in it for repeated hits.
• Costs no FP and adds one String to the ordinary Volcano Pot ingredients. The rope changes the throwing behavior, not the cloud into a weapon enchantment.
• Its repeated hits can keep pressuring a smaller enemy when they connect. An enemy that resists interruption or moves away can still escape most of the cloud.
• The Fire can remove active Frostbite and consume an oil coating. Plan which Fire hit you want to use the oil instead of throwing the cloud first automatically.
• Pot damage equipment can improve its direct hits, while weapon-skill damage bonuses do not apply simply because you used the item during combat.
• One craft uses 2 Volcanic Stone and 1 String and an empty Cracked Pot. Throwing returns the container, while another mixture needs fresh ingredients.
• Recipes using the same container type share the empty supply. Cracked Pots, Ritual Pots and Hefty Cracked Pots cannot replace one another.
