This guide details how to complete Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 in Hogwarts Legacy, focusing on the simultaneous potion use requirement. This quest, received after the Jackdaw's Rest main story mission, tasks players with using a Focus Potion, then simultaneously using Maxima and Edurus Potions.
Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1: Successfully completing the assignment unlocks the Depulso spell. Depulso repels objects and enemies, causing knockback damage indirectly by launching them into each other.
How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:
The game doesn't explicitly explain this. Here's how:
- Open the Tool Wheel: Hold down L1/LB.
- Equip the First Potion: Select a potion (Maxima or Edurus) on the wheel and release L1/LB.
- Drink the First Potion: Press L1/LB again (briefly, do not hold).
- Equip the Second Potion: Immediately after the first potion's effects begin, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second potion.
- Completion: The game will register the simultaneous activation of both potions, fulfilling the quest requirement.
Potion Ingredients:
- Edurus Potion: Brewed with Mongrel Fur and Ashwinder Eggs. Provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense.
- Maxima Potion: Brewed with Spider Fangs and Leech Juice. Increases spell damage for 30 seconds.
This method ensures both potions are active concurrently, completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1 and granting you the Depulso spell. For detailed crafting instructions and ingredient locations, refer to our comprehensive Hogwarts Legacy potion guide.
