| Where'd you find the fomula for the strange potion? |
|
Where in the game do you find the ingredient list for the strange potion? I have almost won the game, but never found the formula anywhere. How did anyone get the info in the first place?

Well, I just looked up in the walkthrough. Never found any hints in game.

Nether did I, I was just hoping that it wasn't just something that was leaked out...

Same here, I read a lot of the books, but never found the recipe. Perhaps Garret might enlighten us.

I think that it's one of those try-everything-with-everything-else-type of puzzles... Admittedly, I read thru some posts to find out how to make the potion... when I started to play, I had forgotten some of the ingredients, but tried to make it anyway... ét voila! The Guardian refused to put anything else in the pot but the right ingredients, and I succesfully created a strange potion.
Odd note: the last ingredient I put in was a bottle of water, and for some reason, since I had about eight bottles of water stacked, the bottlestack showed up as 'a strange potion'. When I dragged one bottle out of the stack, that one bottle showed up as 'a bottle of water'. I repeated this until I had one strange potion.

That's good for figuring it out, but was it just dumb luck that someone found out what to do with it or are there clues around that I haven't found yet? I went to see chicken boy when I made it into the crypt and tried to talk to him after I cast reveal. He just clucked. I looked through the room a little, but didn't see any clues. I don't remember seeing anything about a potion in his book either. The formula could have been discovered on chance. I can live with that. That's how I found out how to enchant things before I looked up the PDF on the game. But what to do with it could have been found by chance too, but I'll bet that there is something more to it. I mean, why go through the trouble of putting in all the steps with more clues for people to find and use it?

a side note on this i noticed that before the patch the bar maid was totally on the rag, she tryed to beat my ass for going back there (even though i was just trying to steal wine and cheese, not even use the cauldron!)
The after the patch, she was totally chilled out and didn't really complain even when i made a chicken potion in her soup!

I can understand possibly finding the Strange potion by accident... You put stuff in and it just works. *poof*. However I REALLY don't know who the heck got the idea to shove it down the chicken's beak. I mean that just isn't something you'd think about doing. |
