Antidote to common poisons

Antidote to common poisons

Antidote to common poisons is the fastest potion to make and gives you most points when brewing multiple times. E.g. A sleeping draught will give you  11 house points if brewed successfully but it takes 53 minutes (in copper cauldron) whereas the antidote will only give you 7 points  but it only takes 30 minutes (in copper cauldron) so in the time it takes you to brew one sleeping draught worth 11 points you could have almost brewed 2 successful antidotes giving you a total of 14 points. It may only be 3 extra points difference but they all count towards the house cup!

Ingredients: bezoar, mistletoe berries, unicorn horn (see "ingredients" for help on where to find them)

Pewter cauldron – 40 minutes

Brass cauldron – 34 minutes

Copper cauldron – 30 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Add 1 bezoar to the mortar. Click on the bezoar and you’ll automatically pick up one piece which can then be put in the mortar.

Step 2: Crush into a very fine powder. Continusesly click on the pestle and a green bar will start to fill up, do this until the green bar reaches the point inbetween the 2 lines. Note> it’s easier and quicker to click on the actual mortar instead of the pestle.

Step 3: Add 4 measures of the crushed bezoar to your cauldron. Same as step 1 but you’re taking 4 lots of the crushed bezoar from the mortar this time not from the actual bezoar on the table. Watch the counter that shows how much you’ve put in.

Step 4: Add 2 measures of standard ingredients to your cauldron. See step 1 and don’t forget to watch the counter.

Step 5: Heat to a medium temperature for 5 seconds. Click on the red button beneath your cauldron and this will make a meter similar to the one when you were crushing the fangs come up, again with 2 lines. The red button will make the meter fill up at a fast rate, wait until it reaches inbetween the 2 lines, at this point a timer will appear. Then click the orange button which will still increase the meter but at a slower speed. BEFORE the meter goes above the 2 lines (which is where you must keep it between for the 5 seconds) click the blue button which will decrease the meter. Keep alternating between the orange and blue to increase and decrease the meter as necessary to keep it between the lines. When the 5 second timer runs out click the blue button to turn off the heat otherwise you risk your cauldron exploding!

Step 6: Wave your wand. Your wand is located behind the bag of standard ingredients click on it once and the wand will do the rest.

Leave your potion to brew for X amount of minutes. All you do now is wait.

When the potion has finished brewing move onto the next steps.

Step 1: Add 1 pinch of unicorn horn to your cauldron. Click on the unicorn horn and you’ll automatically pick up  one pinch which can then be put in the cauldron.

Step 2: Stir 2 times clockwise (à) Click and drag the spoon inside the cauldron and drag it around in circles’ 2 times. Note> you may find it easier to make big circles around the screen when doing this. Watch the counter to see when you've reached 2.

Step 3: Add 2 Mistletoe berries to your cauldron. Balance the jar on the edge of the cauldron for better control as seen below.

Step 4: Stir 2 times anti-clockwise (ß) Click and drag the spoon inside the cauldron and drag it around in circles’ 2 times. Note> you may find it easier to make big circles around the screen when doing this. Watch the counter to see when you've reached 2.

Step 5: Wave your wand to complete the potion. (I don’t recall wands ever being needed in potions “there will be no foolish wand waving in my class” –Snape)

Now have a victory dance you've done it :D
