Max-Potion Multitasking in Hogwarts Legacy

by Hannah Jan 11,2025

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

Upon completion, players unlock the Depulso spell. This spell forcefully repels objects and enemies, causing knock-on damage without direct spell damage. It's also useful for manipulating objects.

Using Potions Simultaneously

To use Maxima and Edurus Potions simultaneously:

  1. Press and hold L1/LB to access the Tool Wheel.
  2. Select a potion and release L1/LB to equip it.
  3. Press L1/LB (don't hold) to consume the equipped potion.
  4. Once the effects begin, quickly repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
  5. The game registers both potions' simultaneous activation, fulfilling Professor Sharp's request.

Edurus Potion (Mongrel Fur & Ashwinder Eggs): Provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense with rocky skin.

Maxima Potion (Spider Fangs & Leech Juice): Increases spell damage for 30 seconds.
