Potion Creation

4. After passing the quiz, head to the next room, South and talk with Studying Man, Darwin alde_alche1315. He will explain the basics for creating potions.

Bypassing: Giving an Illusion Flower to Darwin by first selecting the flower option when initially speaking to him will send the player directly to the final NPC (Step 15) in honor of the bribe. The flower is to be presented when he asks you to bring the other materials, so the player will still need to choose the 1st option after selecting the flower option.

  • He will then ask questions regarding potion creation after he explains the process.
  • The answers are obvious as the incorrect answers are foolish comments like "dance around and flap your arms".
  • If you failed this part you need to repeat the process again including new materials.
  • Canceling the dialogue will also fail you and eat your materials.

The player will need the following items for this part:

Mixture and Counteragent

5. Move to the next room to meet with Experiment Expert, Van Helmont alde_alche7919.
