Potions

From Witcher Wiki

Alchemy

For more information regarding potions, see the potions category.

Potions are used throughout the game. There are the so-called "normal" potions, mutagenic potions and a few others. They can be used to increase the regeneration rate of character statistics like vitality and endurance, or they can be used to temporarily increase the base amount of those same statistics. They can also be used to nullify effects like toxicity or drunkenness, or to see in the dark.

The ratings below are out of 100

  • Low (10–14)
  • Medium (15–20)
  • High (21–25)
  • Very High (26–30)

The only way to reduce the toxicity of consumed potions and maintain their intended effects is to have each primary ingredient with exactly the same secondary substance: Albedo.
