Stuck on Day 15 - Elixir of the Damned
Enjoying the game greatly, get the recipe for Elixir of the Damned on Day 13. On Day 15 a customer comes in asking for that elixir so now I need to brew it. I actually looked up to confirm I had the right plants: Caballia, Henchuck, and Dranthium and what Henchuck looked like (other two were confirmed on previous days), but when I try to combine them it keeps rejecting my attempts. I've tried labeling the Henchuck plant - rejected. Tried brewing in different combinations - still says it's wrong. I can't progress in the game any further without brewing this darn elixir so this is a game-breaking bug for me.

So sorry you ran into an issue here, were you ever able to get past this? Is there any way you're able to send us a screenshot or video so we can get a better look at what is happening? Does it go through the full animation for example and then give you dread as if you'd entered the wrong plants?

I have this exact issue with the St. Quentin's Elixir. I add Daisy Dock, Candlewood and Sheepsnap, it starts brewing like it should and then gives me Dread and says I must have made a mistake..

That's not Daisy Dock. The leaves in the plant you selected have three points.

I have the same issue. I add Caballia, Henchuck, and Dranthium and it says that it is incorrect. I also looked up the plants to confirm they were the correct ones. I have a video of it - is there somewhere to send it?

Can't screen record, but here's a screenshot. If it helps, I did not go to cult meeting, chose offering of good hunt for the goddess and the coven got killed. Gave the rude rich man character the correct herbs, and have been diligent in completing all the side quests with finding additional plants and encyclopedia entries. Encouraged the psychic woman to keep her mind open which then learned about the future attack on the coven, if I'm remembering right. Was on track to completing the route of using 5 plants at the special tree sight to get rid of the monster. I tried to make the potion again today and still just getting Dread points.

You've got the wrong plant for Caballia. It has 6 petals, not 5. Soft purple flowers with a sweet scent. It's the one 4th from the right on your bottom row of plants.
