Gouging

Gouging is one of the status effects in Conan Exiles.

Details

Gouge is a stacking status effect that deals damage over time. Receiving a new gouge effect while already gouged resets the duration.

Unlike Bleeding or Poison, which increase in damage non-linearly, Gouge just deals a static 1 damage per stack each second for 20 seconds and can stack up to 20 times, for a total of 20 damage per second.

Gouging damage does not depend on the weapon; if the weapon gouges, the gouge damage is the same.

Gouging:

• Ignores armor.
• Interrupts healing from items and food.
• Does not interrupt healing from the Fierce Vitality perk.
• Prevents climbing.
• Gouging affects the undead, unlike Bleeding.
• Gouging cannot be removed with wraps.

Inflicting Gouges

The following weapons can be used to inflict gouge effects:

•  Alligator Bite
•  Heartsblood
•  Jagged Edge
•  The Annoying Shard
•  The Impaler
•  War Sickles

Note that, despite the name, the Gouging Blade does not apply the effect. This may not be intended.
