Hogwarts Potions Mastery: Unlocking Simultaneous Usage

Author : Carter Feb 25,2025

This guide details how to complete Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 in Hogwarts Legacy, focusing on the simultaneous potion use requirement. This quest, received after the Jackdaw's Rest main story mission, tasks players with using a Focus Potion and then simultaneously using Maxima and Edurus Potions.

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1: Successfully completing the assignment unlocks the Depulso spell. Depulso repels objects and enemies, causing knock-on effects and useful for manipulating objects.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

The game doesn't explicitly explain simultaneous potion use. Follow these steps:

  1. Access the Tool Wheel: Hold down L1/LB to open the Tool Wheel.
  2. Equip the First Potion: Select a potion (Maxima or Edurus) and release L1/LB to equip it.
  3. Drink the First Potion: Press L1/LB (do not hold).
  4. Equip the Second Potion: Immediately after the first potion's effects activate, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
  5. Completion: The game registers the simultaneous activation, fulfilling the quest requirement.

Potion Ingredients:

  • Edurus Potion: Brewed with Mongrel Fur and Ashwinder Eggs. Provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense.
  • Maxima Potion: Brewed with Spider Fangs and Leech Juice. Increases spell damage for 30 seconds. Separate guides detail crafting and ingredient locations.
