How to Use Potions Simultaneously in Hogwarts Legacy

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

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1:

Upon completion, players unlock the Depulso spell. This spell forcefully repels objects and enemies, causing knock-on damage. It's also useful for manipulating objects.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

To use Maxima and Edurus Potions simultaneously:

1. Hold down L1/LB to access the Tool Wheel.
2. Select one potion, then release L1/LB to equip it.
3. Press L1/LB again (briefly) to drink the equipped potion.
4. Once its effects start, quickly repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
5. The game will register both potions as active simultaneously, fulfilling the quest requirement.

Edurus Potion (Mongrel Fur & Ashwinder Eggs) provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense. Maxima Potion (Spider Fangs & Leech Juice) boosts spell damage for 30 seconds. Using them together maximizes both offensive and defensive capabilities.
