Unleash the power of potions in Hogwarts Legacy! Discover how to unlock and brew an array of potent elixirs to aid in healing, offense, and defense Master the art of spellcraft and gather essential ingredients to become a formidable alchemist in the wizarding world
Potions play a crucial role in Hogwarts Legacy, with the Wiggenweld Potion being particularly significant. These potions provide players with various advantages and improvements, greatly benefiting them in combat and overall gameplay. For instance, the Edurus Potion boosts players' defenses and provides them with resilience against interruptions, whereas the Invisibility Potion allows its wearer to remain hidden.
In certain situations during battles in Hogwarts Legacy, consuming a particular Potion can prove to be more advantageous than casting a spell. Players can restore their health when facing critical conditions or opt to use an offensive Potion like Thunderbrew.
Updated on August 30, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Mastering the art of Potion Brewing becomes easier when players possess the necessary ingredients and a suitable facility. The journey begins with the Potion Class taught by Professor Sharp, a former Auror. Once students have successfully concocted the Wiggenweld and the Edurus Potions, they gain the freedom to explore a variety of Potion recipes and procure the corresponding ingredients from Hogsmeade. These can then be experimented with in either their own Room of Requirement or the designated Potion Station.
How To Use Potions In Hogwarts Legacy
To utilize Potions in Hogwarts Legacy, players can access the Tool Wheel by pressing and holding Tab on PC, L1 on PlayStation, or LB on Xbox. From there, they can equip their desired Potion and press the same button to activate it. However, it's important to note that the Wiggenweld Potion, which is a healing Potion, functions differently. In the case of the healing Potion, players can conveniently use it without equipping it by simply pressing G on PC or the Down button on PlayStation and Xbox.
The Tool Wheel also contains plants that players can use the same way, such as Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake.
How To Unlock Potions In Hogwarts Legacy
At the beginning of Hogwarts Legacy, players will not have the ability to brew or utilize Potions. Rather, the student will find themselves engrossed in a series of main and side quests that serve as an introduction to the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy. However, this dynamic changes once the main quests for Potions Class come into play and educate players about this particular game mechanic. Although triggering this quest is a relatively short process, strictly focusing on the main quests should allow players to embark on it within approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Professor Sharp will educate the students on the significance of Potions, including their ingredients and the art of brewing. Once players successfully brew their inaugural Potion, it will seamlessly integrate into the Tools Wheel. Consequently, players can swiftly access the Potion by simply tapping the Tools Wheel. Subsequently, students will gain the ability to procure and brew Potions without encountering any constraints.
All Potions in Hogwarts Legacy
Having Plants and Potions accessible in the Tool Wheel can greatly enhance gameplay in various aspects, particularly in combat situations. Although the quantity of Tools and Potions may not be abundant within the confines of Hogwarts Legacy, each one possesses a unique attribute that contributes significance to the overall gaming experience. Provided below is an extensive list of the currently obtainable Potions:
