HOW TO MAKE SWALLOW POTIONS

[rebelo.mar]

I´ve tried doing it in the alchemy page but every time I gather the ingredients to make any potion the result is always some kind of alcoholic beverage

[😎Macula😎]

There are 3 kinds of alcohol weak medium and strong.
The strong alcohol is needed to make swallow potion does this helps you a bit to understand?

[rebelo.mar]

not much

You need ALCOHOL with a strong BASE so it can be used to make POTIONS. You can buy them from any WAITRESS at any INN or find the alcohol while exploring. You cannot make POTIONS without STRONG ALCOHOL BASES.

[Tranquil Bardbarian]

as the previous poster stated you need the right alcohol - it needs to say strong alcohol, potion base. However, your standard bases will only let you use 3 ingredients which is not enough to make swallow, so you need a high quality base.

The high quality bases are Cherry Spirit Cordial, Dwarven Spirit, Plum Cordial, Temerian Spirit, and Zerrikanian.

The can be bought from waitresses at the inn. Also some merchants will sell them and they can be found in barrels and chests.

These will let you use the 4 alchemy ingredient needed for swallow, which are 1 vitriol, 2 rebis, 1 Aether.

As an additional note - if all of your ingredients have the same secondary substance your make a potion that gives you an additional beneficial effect.

Albedo - reduces the toxicity of potions
Rubedo - provides a vitality regeneration effect
Nigredo - provides a damage bonus

I usual make my swallow potions with nigredo secondary substances.
I make my tawny owl with albedo.

What ever 3rd potion you learn to like, like I use blizzard in fights with multiple enemies, make with rubedo.
