Lullaby potion cannot be brewed

[timahoo]

PC/Steam edition

When I follow the instructions exactly it becomes “Unknown Potion”.
- Pour the oil in the cauldron
- Add poppy
- Pump billows till its boiling
- Turn hourglass till it empties
- Add thistle
- Boil for one more turn
- Wait for it to cool
- Add herb paris
- Phial to take out “Unknown Potion”

When I follow this video, exactly, it still does not work:

You are probably bellowing it too much so it takes too long to cool. Either bellow it less or just dump the herb in right away after the hourglass turn for the thistle and phial it right away.

I noticed the letter in the alchemy book in the video are easier to read that in my book! I think he has a better level of alchemy so has better success rate.

Letters and books get easier to read as you upgrade your reading skill.

I though you may have been high when you posted this. But I just tried again, this time not giving a ♥♥♥♥ about the process and it worked! I did not particularly follow what you said.

Thanks, I think this game has a no-gives-a-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and if you give a ♥♥♥♥ it trolls you.

So I have brewed three in a row now, I think I have some ideas:
- The book must be turned to the correct page for the potion you are brewing.
- The fire does not have to be completely out before you add the last Herb Paris
- You should or be seen to healthily engage with the phial at the end, maybe do not delay or appear to delay too long with this.
- You can turn the sand-watch with the 'F' key

Old post but I had trouble with this and discovered I was Stilling it at the end instead of pouring directly into Phial.

Pouring direct to Phial (grab Phial and use on cauldron instead of still)

That worked for me.
