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 character can only do this once, so the number available is limited.

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

=== Turn Based Duration ===
* {{LgRarityItem|Elixir of Universal Resistance}}


== 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.
