After completing the Jackdaw's Rest main story quest in Hogwarts Legacy, players will embark on Professor Sharp's Assignment 1. This quest requires players to acquire and use a Focus Potion, and then obtain Maxima and Edurus Potions to use them simultaneously. The game may not clearly explain how to use multiple potions at once, so this guide will walk you through the process. For detailed instructions on brewing the potions and sourcing the necessary ingredients, please refer to our comprehensive Hogwarts Legacy potions guide.

What do You Get for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 in Hogwarts Legacy?

Upon successfully completing Professor Sharp's tasks in Hogwarts Legacy, players will unlock the Depulso spell. The in-game description states: "Repels many types of objects and enemies with considerable force. Although it deals no direct damage to foes, enemies and objects alike can be launched into each other with destructive results. Also useful for pushing and spinning objects for a variety of purposes."

How to Use Maxima and Erudus Potions Simultaneously in Hogwarts Legacy

Once players have crafted the required Maxima and Edurus Potions, follow these steps to use them simultaneously:

  • Press and hold the L1/LB button to access the Tool Wheel.
  • Navigate to one of the potions and release L1 to select it.
  • To consume the potion, press the L1 button again (without holding it).
  • After the first potion's effects are active, quickly select and drink the second potion using the same method.
  • The game will recognize that two different potions are active at the same time, fulfilling Professor Sharp's requirement.

The Edurus Potion, brewed from Mongrel Fur and Ashwinder Eggs, enhances the drinker's defense for 20 seconds by enveloping them in durable rocky skin.

The Maxima Potion, crafted using Spider Fangs and Leech Juice at a potion station, boosts spell damage for 30 seconds.
