What are Potions for in The Witcher 3

Potions are consumable items that grant you different types of buffs. There are different types of effects: offensive, defensive, and utility. Like the Oils, some Potions have enhanced and Superior versions. Potions share a tab with Decoctions in your inventory.

Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (1)

Potions can give a significant advantage over powerful enemies if you use them correctly but be careful to keep your toxicity levels under 50% (80% with maxed Heightened Tolerance Alchemy Skill) or you will start losing health over time. This is to prevent the player from abusing the usage of potions.

Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (2)

Potions have no level requirements. However, to craft the higher tiers of potions, you will need to defeat powerful monsters to get the required ingredients.

Potion formulas can be obtained by finding them randomly when looting chests or other objects, buying them from merchants or herbalists, or during/after a quest of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

Potions don’t last forever, the effect will be gone after a certain period of time. Said period of time varies depending on which Potion you use. Meditating will automatically replenish your Potions.

If you are new to the game, I recommend you take a good look atThe Witcher 3 DOs and DONTs guidefor a great collection of beginner-friendly tips and recommendations to give you a good start.

How to get the ingredients and craft potions

To craft a potion, you first need to acquire its recipe (formula). Then you can open the Alchemy menu to determine what ingredients you need to gather to craft the potion.

Some potion formulas can be found randomly while others have a 100% guaranteed spot to get them from. In the next segment of the guide, I will show you the exact location of all confirmed spawns and/or purchasable potion formulas in the game.

Herbs, and Alchemy items you can obtain by exploring the world, looting chests or animals, and finding hidden treasures. You can also purchase many of the ingredients from herbalists and merchants.

To craft the Enhanced Potion, you need the Basic version of the same potion. To craft the Superior tier, you need the Enhanced version.

What are the Best Potions to craft early

During your adventures, you will likely find a place and situation for nearly every single one of the potions in this gigantic list. Ultimately, as a pro witcher, you will eventually end up collecting all of them.

There are a few key potions that will be used most frequently and the sooner you upgrade them, the better. This is especially true for the Blood and Broken Bones and Death March difficulty levels.

In the next-gen update CD Projekt Red lowered the effect food and drinks heal you, this nerfing the entire purpose of stacking up on food and drinks like mad. Now, but also before as well, by far the most useful and helpful potion in the entire game is the Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (357)Swallow. You should upgrade it to Enhanced and Superior as soon as you can.

Another great healing solution is the Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (358)White Raffard’s Decoction. Although it bears the name decoction, it has no prolonged effect. It instead heals instantly a portion of your vitality.

Two of my favorite combat potions are Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (359)Tawny Owl and Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (360)Thunderbolt. I often have them on a shortcut keybind and use them together in tougher fights. The Superior version of Tawny Owl never expires at night. This means you get a permanent 10% Stamina regeneration boost all night long.

One of the most frequent enemy types you will fight against in the game are necrophages. The Full Witcher 3 Potions Catalog and Locations Guide (361)Black Blood is fantastic against all members of that group. Even better, it makes vampires bleed. You will encounter only a handful of Ekimmaras in the original game, but in Blood and Wine Toussaint is full of these creatures.

I am going to stop here, because the variety of monsters and other creatures you will encounter in the game, could easily make me list all potions as useful.

I hope you have enjoyed this complete list of the Potions in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. If you want to share a popular location for the formulas or crafting ingredients that was not mentioned in the catalog, leave a comment.
