Potion Synergies Emerge in Hogwarts Legacy

by Noah Feb 13,2025

This guide details how to complete Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 in Hogwarts Legacy, focusing on the simultaneous potion use requirement. This quest, received after the Jackdaw's Rest main story mission, tasks players with using a Focus Potion, then simultaneously using Maxima and Edurus Potions. The reward for completion is the Depulso spell.

Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1:

The assignment requires two key actions:

  1. Acquiring and using a Focus Potion: This potion is readily available and its creation is covered in other Hogwarts Legacy guides.

  2. Simultaneously using Maxima and Edurus Potions: This is where the challenge lies. The game doesn't explicitly explain this mechanic.

How to Use Potions Simultaneously:

To use Maxima and Edurus Potions simultaneously:

  1. Open the Tool Wheel: Press and hold L1/LB to access the Tool Wheel.

  2. Equip the First Potion: Hover over the first potion (e.g., Maxima) and release L1/LB to equip it. Then press L1/LB again to drink it (do not hold the button).

  3. Equip the Second Potion: Once the effects of the first potion begin, immediately repeat the process for the second potion (e.g., Edurus).

  4. Completion: The game will register the simultaneous activation of both potions, completing the quest requirement.

Potion Ingredients:

  • Edurus Potion: Made with Mongrel Fur and Ashwinder Eggs. Provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense.

  • Maxima Potion: Made with Spider Fangs and Leech Juice. Increases spell damage for 30 seconds.

This method ensures both potions' effects are active concurrently, fulfilling Professor Sharp's assignment and unlocking the Depulso spell. Remember to consult separate guides for detailed crafting instructions and ingredient locations if needed.
