In this guide we will show you how to brew all Hogwarts Legacy potions and earn the “Going Through the Potions” Achievement/Trophy.
To prepare the potions you need three things, a crafting bench with at least one cauldron, the recipes and thirdly the necessary raw materials. It is also a prerequisite that you have completed the main quest “Potions Class”.
After completing the aforementioned main quest, you can visit the classroom at any time to brew potions. Alternatively, you can also brew potions in the Room of Requirement, which is unlocked later in the game. If you have enough money to unlock additional brewing benches from the vendors, you can build seven brewing benches to make all the potions at once. However, you can still earn the Achievement/Trophy with the basic crafting bench in your classroom. This process simply requires a little more time.
As for the recipes, two of them you learn during the course, while the rest you will have to buy from the J Pippins Potions shop located in the town of Hogsmeade (the 2nd main area of the game after Hogwarts castle). From this shop you can also buy various materials for brewing potions.
Finally, to collect the necessary materials you should explore the map, kill certain enemies, plant seeds or buy all the materials from the vendors.
