With the game coming to Nintendo Switch, there will no doubt be new players coming to the game. That would mean that there will be a new flock of players wondering just what potions they can make in this game. Here is our guide to the Potions of Hogwarts Legacy, from what each of them does to how to make them.
Hogwarts Legacy Guide – Potions
Potion-making is something that screams witches and wizards through and through. As such, it is not a surprise that Hogwarts Legacy implemented that into the game. Potions play a huge part in the game, as they have various positive effects from healing, to buffs, and more. It's always good to have potions on hand, just in case you'll need them.
To unlock potion brewing, players must first finish Main Quest 13: Potions Class. Doing so will unlock the Potions Station, letting you brew your own potions. The Potions Station is located in the Potions Classroom in Hogwarts's Library Annex. Players can also place a Potion Station in the Room of Requirement if they want.
