Baldur’s Gate 3 Potions And Elixirs Recipes

Mastering Alchemy recipes in Baldur's Gate 3 allows you to craft very useful potions and elixirs to heal, cure or gain buffs.

Alchemy is a powerful concept in Baldur’s Gate 3 and the only method of crafting that is readily available to players anywhere. You can craft both Baldur’s Gate 3 Potions and Elixirs using Alchemy for various effects.

With the right potions or elixirs in Baldur’s Gate 3, players can make their characters and companions stronger, remove debuffs and even gain abilities that are not otherwise possible, or not available to your party at any stage. This guide will list all the potions and elixirs you can craft in BG3.

How to use Alchemy for crafting Potions and Elixirs in Baldur’s Gate 3

Alchemy is unlocked in the player’s crafting tab from the start. Open your inventory by pressing “I” and you will find the Alchemy Tab where players can see what potions they can craft and what ingredients they have in their inventory.

If you have the potion or elixir you want unlocked, and you have all the required ingredients, you can craft the potion for yourself.

How to learn new recipes in BG3

As you progress in the game and level up, you will gain new recipes and find them in the open world as well. Reading different books or notes in the world can unlock new potion recipes. Such recipes are typically found near areas where there might be cauldrons or lab equipment. Ethel’s hut is one such place where you can discover new crafting recipes in BG3.

Another way to learn new potion recipes in BG3 is to just keep gathering crafting materials from the wild or dead bodies as you encounter them. Regularly check the Alchemy page and whenever you see the Extract Ingredients option available, click on that. This will unlock new potion recipes if you have the ingredients for it in your inventory.
