Given all the tools available to players in Baldur’s Gate 3, it stands to reason that a list of every known potion recipe would be an essential document. Here’s every potion and elixir recipe in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Every Potion Recipe in Baldur’s Gate 3
While your Cleric may be the first person you turn to when you want to heal up your party in the middle of a fight, sometimes, you need to give them a break. Fortunately, there are plenty of potions in Baldur’s Gate 3 that can do the same thing, and while the concept of restoring hit points is arguably most synonymous with magical liquid, there’s a wealth of other effects you can brew up. Like a ghoulish hag at a cauldron, Larian Studios has provided players with the means to create concoctions that reduce fall damage, grant the ability to speak with animals, and even turn the drinker invisible. Here’s everything you need to know on how to make them:

While Elixirs are functionally identical to Potions, their effects are very different in that they tend to last significantly longer. A Potion may only last until the end of combat, whereas an Elixir will remain with the drinker until they either take a long rest or consume a different Elixir. You can only have one of these bad boys active at once, so make sure you know what you’re taking before you down it.
