Oil

oil-quick-item-sekiro-wiki-guide

 Plain Oil.

When the jar breaks, the oil covers everything nearby.

Enemies doused in oil are easily set alight, causing them to take additional Vitality damage from fire attacks and making them more vulnerable to the Burn status abnormality.

Oil is a Quick Item in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Throw it at enemies to increase their vulnerability to the Burn status abnormality.

 

 

 Oil Usage

  • Covers an enemy in oil and increases its vulnerability to the Burn status twice.
  • Flame Vent deals 25% more health damage to an oiled enemy.

      the flame vent incident, Japan - Ashina state, 1555

        Does it wear off? I notice that if I throw it at the guardian ape and wait too long before flame venting it doesn't work.

          I've done some damage tests on Juzou with the flame vest, here are some results for anyone interested if oil adds damage or not: 1. Full charged attack + oil does the most damage. 2. Full charged attack without oil does the second most. 3. Normal attack + oil does around 2/3 of number 1. 4. Unupgraded flame vent normal attack + oil does the same as number 3 (no point on using it after you get the upgrade). 5. All attacks caused the burn status. So TL:DR. Being oiled augments burn damage received.

            Oil also drops from the bomb throwing monks in Senpou Temple as well some of the Interior Ministry enemies in final stage of Ashina Castle.

              You use this mainly for the relatively large stun the fire inflicts upon enemies rather than its actual damage potential

                How long are its effects? Do you need to keep using the flame vent to reapply the burn? What are the damage stats?
