Hogwarts Potions Synergy: Unlocking Simultaneous Elixir Effects

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, involves using a Focus Potion, then using Maxima and Edurus Potions concurrently.

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1: Upon successful completion, players unlock the Depulso spell. Depulso repels objects and enemies, causing knockback effects useful for both combat and environmental puzzles.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

The game doesn't explicitly explain this; here's the method:

1. Access the Tool Wheel: Press and hold 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) to consume the equipped potion.
4. Equip the Second Potion: Immediately after the first potion's effect begins, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
5. Completion: The game registers the simultaneous activation of both potions, 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' effects are active concurrently, completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 and unlocking the Depulso spell. Separate guides detail potion brewing and ingredient locations.
