A window will pop up and allow you to select what item to apply the Poison to. In this case, just look for the weapon of your choice, then select it and confirm your selection. You can do this to coat both melee weapons as well as ammunition, such as bolts and arrows. This method also works for Potions as well as any food you have in your inventory, of course!
The applied Poison will also be shown in the weapon’s description, for reference.
Now, as for using Poisons in food pots, the process is actually a lot simpler. First, you just need to approach the pot you wish to poison. You should see the “Pour Potion” prompt in the bottom right corner of the screen. On PC you just need to hold the E key. If you’re playing with a controller, hold A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation).
You will then get a small inventory window showing all of the items you can add to the pot. This, of course, includes any Poisons you carry. Just select the one you wish to throw into the pot and confirm it. When that’s done, you just need to wait for someone to eat from the pot! Remember, though, most NPCs only eat breakfast in the morning and no other meals.
That’s all you need to know to be able to use Poisons on swords and pots in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Learn how to use Alchemy to make even stronger Poisons for better effect!
