Similar to [[Potions]], '''Elixirs''' are consumable items that can be drunk as a [[bonus action]] to apply a variety of beneficial effects. Unlike '''Potions''', the effects of an Elixir last until either taking a long rest or drinking another Elixir. Many Elixirs can be created with [[Alchemy]].

A character can only benefit from the effects of one elixir at a time: drinking an elixir immediately cancels any active effects of a previously drunk elixir.

Other activities can cause elixir benefits to end, including:
* Praying at the Altar to Shar in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]]

== Unique Elixirs ==
These elixirs cannot be crafted and are not sold by normal merchants. They can only be obtained by giving blood samples to [[Araj Oblodra]], and each party member can only do this once, so the number available is limited. These elixirs apparently do not replace regular elixirs when drunk, nor do they replace elixirs from the blood of different races. {{Verify}}

The following items are called Elixirs, but function more similary to [[Potions]].

== Terminology Note ==
In-game, "Potion" is used as a general category of liquid consumables that includes the more specific categories of [[Potions]], [[Coatings]] and Elixirs, which are highlighted in tooltips. Only consumables labelled as "elixirs" follow the specific rules mentioned above.

In the tabletop game, "elixir" is just a word used to name particularly powerful potions, and a few potions in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' follow this convention despite functioning as regular potions. These "false elixirs" are included in the [[Potions]] page.
