Multipliers

You should remember that the three ingredients - Shell, Fishbone, Claw - can be used interchangeably and they determine how strong the potion that uses them will be. This is how you create improved potions, where the base one uses Shell. The next ones have names with " "such as Healing, Healing, Healing depending on the "multiplier "used. Each is treated as a separate recipe - however, below, we described the basic Shell-based versions.

Form potions

(Morph) potions allow you, your allies or opponents to change form, provided they do not have morphing Immunity. If you morph into a non-human form, you cannot use weapons (but you can drink healing potions straight from the inventory). This transformation is permanent - for the hero, it is until death, or until canceled with the R button. You can turn your opponents into other monsters and defeat easier or for research (Bestiary pages), but their inventory remains the same: a hen turned into a Faun still drops a piece of meat or a feather.

Potions of this type should be drunk or thrown at the target. To make them, you need the "Change" essence (Mandragore) and a part of the animal. There are 10 transformations, each requiring researched fragments of the monster you wish to transform into. The ingredients for each transformation can be found below:

1. Human Form - Mangragore Hair
2. Chicken Form - Mangragore Chicken Feather (only juvenille animals)
3. Toad Form - Mangragore Toad Slime
4. Rat Form - Mangragore Rat Hair
5. Snake Form - Mangragore Snake Scale
6. Gorgon Form - Mangragore Gorgon Scale
7. Dog Form - Mangragore Hound Wool
8. Faun Form - Mangragore Horn
9. Ghoul Form - Mangragore Ghoul Skin
10. Valravn Form - Mangragore Valravn

Create potions

Summon potions differ from transmutation potions in that instead of transforming an animal, they create it in the indicated place. The summoned creatures have the Imitative debuff - it means that the created creature will not stay with you forever; their lifespan is less than 5 minutes. They also have a second debuff: Soulless - lowers the maximum health level; you can remove this debuff with the Soulfulness potion.

The monsters you create don't have any items in your inventory, so you can't use them to grind materials. However, you can research them to increase the progress of completing the Bestiary pages. You have to drink or throw the potion. Available combinations:

1. Create Human - Berry Hair
2. Create Chicken - Berry Chicken Feather (juveniles only)
3. Create Toad - Berry Toad Slime
4. Create Rat - Berry Rat Hair
5. Create Snake - Berry Snake Scale
6. Create Gorgon - Berry Gorgon Scale
7. Create Dog - Berry Hound Wool
8. Create Faun - Berry Horn
9. Create Ghoul - Berry Ghoul Skin
10. Create Valravn - Berry Valravn

Aging
