How to Use Potions Simultaneously in Hogwarts Legacy

by Harper Jan 26,2025

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

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1: Successfully completing the assignment unlocks the Depulso spell, a powerful spell that repels objects and enemies, causing knockback damage and enabling environmental manipulation.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

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

  1. Access the Tool Wheel: Press and hold L1/LB to open the Tool Wheel.
  2. Equip the First Potion: Select a potion (either 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 with the second potion.
  5. Simultaneous Activation: The game registers both potions as active simultaneously, fulfilling the quest 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, allowing players to progress in Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 and unlock the Depulso spell. Separate guides detail potion crafting and ingredient locations.
