Terraria: brew potions - how it works

Potions of all kinds give you as a player in Terraria special powers and abilities. In this game tip you will find out which are available and how you brew the potions.

Brew potions in Terraria - how it works

• To start the brewing process in Terraria at all, you first have to build the appropriate device - the so-called alchemy station.
• Craft a workbench, a table or a wooden flap for this. After that, you need to place a bottle or vase on the object. Alternatively, a pitcher can be used.
• This cluster is now the basis for brewing. Click here to open the crafting menu. On the left you will find a list of all potions that can be made.

Brew simple medicinal potions in Terraria

A basic distinction is made between 2 types of potions. On the one hand, there are simple medicinal potions that are based on an empty bottle in the recipe. On the other hand, potions exist that provide the player with special skills. The former require a bottle filled with water.

• The water bottle is pretty easy to get. Grab an empty bottle and then go to a body of water or a fountain. Jump into the water and fill the bottle with a left click.
• Of the simple medicinal potions mentioned above, there are potions that increase life points and mana potions that - as the name suggests - increase mana.
• Combine 2 bottles, 2 goo and a mushroom to get a "weak healing potion" that restores 50 life. The "weak healing potion" is the basis for further upgrades. With the "Great Healing Potion" you heal 150 life points, with the "Super Healing Potion" even 200.
• 2 bottles, 2 slivers and a shooting star result in a "weak mana potion" that increases mana by 50 when consumed. Here too there are upgrades to the big and the super mana potion.
• If you combine healing potion and mana potion of the same level, you get the "recovery potion". This combines the healing up of life and mana - in the actual sense no longer brings, but saves space.

Brew special potions in Terraria

In addition to the healing potions, there is a decent amount of special potions in Terraria, 24 in number. The most important are the invisibility potion, the obsidian skin potion and the night owl potion.

• Running around as a shadow for a while has its advantages. Especially in duels, the invisibility potion can make the difference. It can be crafted with a water bottle, a light root and a moon shine.
• The obsidian skin potion also needs a water bottle, a fire flower and a piece of obsidian. After use, you can easily walk through lava. This potion also protects against heat damage.
• Keep a clear view in the dark - that's exactly what the night owl potion is for. For 4 minutes after consuming complete night vision. The recipe: 1 water bottle, 1 light root and 1 day flower.
