To use potions in Hogwarts Legacy , follow these steps:
- Brewing Potions
- First, you need the recipe for the potion, which you can buy from J. Pippin's Potions shop in Hogsmeade or obtain during your Potions class.
- Use a Potion Station (available in the Room of Requirement or Professor Sharp's classroom) to brew potions by combining the required ingredients. You can upgrade your Potion Station to brew multiple potions at once by purchasing Conjuration Spellcrafts from Thomas Brown in Hogsmeade
- Equipping Potions
- Open the Tool Wheel by holding the appropriate button: Tab on PC, L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, or L on Switch.
- Highlight the potion you want to equip using the right joystick or mouse, then release the button to assign it to your equip slot
- Using Potions in Combat or Exploration
- Once equipped, press the same button used to open the Tool Wheel (e.g., LB/L1/Tab) to use the selected potion.
- The Wiggenweld Potion , which heals health, is an exception: it is automatically assigned to the Down D-Pad or the G key on PC and can be used without equipping it
- Potion Effects
- Potions can heal you, boost your spell damage, reduce spell cooldowns, make you invisible, increase defense, or damage and stun enemies depending on the potion type
In summary, brew potions at a Potion Station, equip them via the Tool Wheel (except Wiggenweld), and activate them with a button press during gameplay to gain their benefits
