Hogwarts Legacy: Maximize Potion Efficacy with Simultaneous Use

Author : Camila Jan 27,2025

This Hogwarts Legacy guide explains how to use potions simultaneously, a requirement for Professor Sharp's Assignment 1. This quest, received after completing the Jackdaw's Rest main story mission, tasks players with using a Focus Potion, and then using Maxima and Edurus Potions concurrently. The game doesn't explicitly detail this process, so this guide provides clear instructions. Separate guides cover potion creation and ingredient locations.

Upon completion, players unlock the Depulso spell. This spell forcefully repels objects and enemies, causing indirect damage by launching them into each other. It's also useful for manipulating objects.
