Blindness is a status effect that impairs the player's vision.
Effect
Impairs vision as if a thick black fog were surrounding the player. Also, prevents sprinting and critical hits.
Causes

|---|---|---|---|
| Illusioner | I | 0:20 | As an attack method. Only if regional difficulty is 2.00 or greater. |
| Suspicious Stew | I | 0:05 | Must be crafted with Azure Bluet |

The sun and moon can be seen as normal. Also, liquids do not fade into the fog perfectly. If combined with Night Vision, the screen will be completely black.[1]
