Brewing
- Step 1: Fill your cauldron with water and bring to a boil.
- Step 2: Chop 2 apples and add to the boiling water along with the 2 cinnamon sticks
- Step 3: Stir clockwise until apples become mushy.
- Step 4: Add 5 werewolf hairs.
- Step 5: Stir clockwise twice (potion should turn purple)
- Step 6: Add 2 crushed valerian root.
- Step 7: Let simmer for 3 minutes.
- Step 8: Add 1 vial of vampire blood.
- Step 9: Stir counter clockwise until potion turns bright green.
- Step 10: Put last apple in WHOLE and take the potion of the fire and let cool.
IMPORTANT: Take the apple out. Biting into the apple (or apple slices) will induce instant petrification which may be reversed using the Mandrake Restorative Potion.
WARNING: Do not, under any circumstance, drink the potion on its own. Even a small dose will be fatal. Drinking the potion will result in death.
