Of the myriad of different potions players can brew in Hogwarts Legacy, it could be argued that the Wiggenweld Potion is the most important one. While the Edurus potion may make players more survivable and the Maxima potion may drastically increase the damage they can do for a short time, Wiggenweld Potions act as the game's basic healing potions, and players will need a steady supply of them as they explore the Scottish Highlands and continue on through the story. There are a few different ways to obtain more Wiggenweld Potions, and it's important that players know the ins and outs of each method.
Hogwarts Legacy gives players their first Wiggenweld Potion at the very beginning of the game. Professor Fig explains that the Wiggenweld is capable of closing wounds and healing injuries and advises that the player always have some on them. This is perhaps the best piece of advice he could have given, as players will be using Wiggenweld for the rest of the game.
However one decides to get their potions, it's important to know that Hogwarts Legacy players can only carry 25 Wiggenweld Potions at a time.
Buying Wiggenweld Potions
The most obvious, albeit costly, way to obtain more Wiggenweld Potions is to simply buy them. Vendors like J. Pippins' Potions at Hogsmeade or various shopkeepers in Hamlets throughout the game will sell a few Wiggenweld Potions at a time to the player. Usually, they cost around 100 Gold each.
Brewing Wiggenweld Potions
It's generally much better for players to brew their own Wiggenweld Potions; it's something they'll learn how to do after attending their first Potions class with Professor Sharp. Assuming players have access to a Potions Station, they simply need to have the following ingredients:
- 1 Dittany Leaves
- 1 Horklump Juice
Dittany Leaves can be grown in small pots, including the one Professor Garlick gives the player in their first Herbology Class. Horklump Juice is a bit harder to find but can usually be collected outside of dungeons and caves. Brewing the potion only takes 30 seconds.
Wiggenweld Potions from the Hopping Pot
A much less reliable method to get Wiggenweld Potions is to use a Hopping Pot. The spellcraft for this can be purchased from Scrolls and Tomes in Hogsmeade, and a few moonstones will allow players to conjure it in their Room of Requirement. These Hopping Pots produce a random potion every 15 minutes, so players might get some Wiggenweld this way as well.
Finding Wiggenweld Potions
Finally, it's also possible to simply find Wiggenweld Potions as players explore. Certain enemies will drop Wiggenweld Potions when defeated, and the game sometimes supplies players with a few extra Wiggenweld Potions just before a boss fight. Keep an eye out and use Revelio often to find potions lying around.
