Witcher fans have been excited to check out the series’s first-ever AR title, The Witcher Monster Slayer. For the first time, players don’t role-play as Geralt but will experience their own world as a young witcher of their personal cu🧜stomization.
Despite the brand new gameplay angle, many familiar aspects carry over from CD Projekt Red’s main series titles and Sapkowski’s canonical lore, such as the tools witchers u🧜se to best their foes. Today let’s take a look at the potions you can brew in The Witcher Monster Slayer and how their known uses carry over to the new experience.
Crafting Potions
So far, it doesn’t appear that every potion can be brewed using the alcheওmy station, at least not at the start of the game.
Here’s a list of every potion found in the game so far, its use, and how to brew it if you can.
|

Description |
Formula |
Time |
|
Falcon |
This unique potion is the game’s way of incorporating witcher senses, and it’s mighty handy they did. The Witcher View acts as a radar for nearby monsters, and drinking the falcon potion will reveal what type of monsters those are. |
|
10 Minutes |
|
Thunderbolt |
Thunderbolt works the same as in the main series titles — by boosting DPS. The Witcher Monster Slayer’s rendition attributes the player with a 33% melee damage increase when applied during p✅repa🐻rations for the encounter. |
|
10 Minutes |
|
Swallow |
Holding true to its proper use, Swallow serves as a minor health potion in Monster Slayer. When included in preparations before battle, it will restore 1% of vitality per second for the entirety of the battle. |

30 Minutes |
|
Swift |
Swift is a different kind of health potion, increasing the player’s maximum vitality threshold by 50%. |

Wolverine gives the player a second wind, inducing a 100% damage increase to the player's output when their vitality drops to 50%. |

Petri's Filter |
Petri’s Philter bolsters Sign Intensity by 100%. |
|
30 Minutes |

Cat |
Naturally, this potion’s effects needed to adapt to a slightly different use for this AR installment. Instead of allowing you to see in darkly lit environments, Cat now gives the user a 75% offensive boost when used at night. |
Cat can only be obtained in the in-game shop. |
NA |
|
Blizzard |
Blizzard induces initial inflation of your Critical Hit Meter upon entering combat. |

Squall can only be obtained in the in-game shop. |
NA |
|
Tawny Owl |
Tawny Owl is another familiar concoction that needed to take on a slightly different use than in the main series. Including this concoction in preparations will cut Sign casting cooldown by 30%. |
T♔awn⭕y Owl can only be obtained in the in-game shop. |
NA |
|
White Gull |
Completely different from its main series usage, White Gull serves as a supportive agent when combined in preparations with other potions applied in the same set of preparations. White Gull bolsters the accompanying potions’ effects by 100%. |
White Gull appears to be non-craftable, its e💃ffects only occurring naturally while donning the Manticore Armor. |
