All-Potion Concoctions: Unleashing Synergy in Hogwarts Legacy

Author : Alexis Jan 27,2025

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

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1: Upon successful completion, players unlock the Depulso spell. Depulso repels objects and enemies, causing knock-on effects for damage and manipulation.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

The game doesn't explicitly explain simultaneous potion use. Here's how:

  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 effect begins, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
  5. Simultaneous Activation: The game registers both potions as active simultaneously, fulfilling the assignment's 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.

This method ensures both potions are active concurrently, completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 and unlocking the Depulso spell. For detailed crafting instructions and ingredient locations, refer to dedicated Hogwarts Legacy potion guides.
