Tips

TIPS

o   Read the instructions carefully and make sure you understand them before proceeding

o   Refresh the page if you make mistakes or you potion starts to smoke or turn green

o   Use the pewter cauldron if you will be going out or doing other stuff for a while


o   Keep an eye on the counter, some ingredients pour out faster that others

o   Your wand is the stick behind the bag of green standard ingredients to the right

o   Click and move your wand over the cauldron to wave it, let go of your wand to stop waving. You can wave it for as long or short time as you like.

o   Drag the spoon in huge circles to stir and it helps if the spoon touches both sides of the cauldron

o   The mortar is the bowl. You can click on this to crush instead of the pestle (stick) as it’s quicker

o   Alternate between the blue and orange buttons to keep the heat in range. If the heat meter's really small click the orange/blue buttons continuesly without stopping. Not blinking helps too.

o   In sleeping draught you can add the valerian sprigs to the cauldron then stir it 7 times at the same time as it’s heating for a minute to save time. Not recommended if you have trouble with heating.

 o   In polyjuice part 2 when you have to add lacewings lay the bottle down on the table so the lacewings fall out then catch one before it hits the table and add to cauldron. Pouring them in the normal way will more then likely result in adding too many as they come out really fast.

o   Hold bottles/jars by the neck and balance against the edge of the cauldron or mortar for better control

o   Set an alarm so you don’t forget your potion when it’s brewing

o   Try and learn the steps by heart as time doesn’t stop to keep looking at instructions

o   Check that each step is crossed out before moving on if you’re not sure you completed said step
