Similar to [[Potions]], '''Elixirs''' can 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]].
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]].


Elixir will cancel any previous Elixir effects. Some Potions in the game are called Elixirs but function as regular potions. These are listed on the Potions page instead.
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:

== List of Elixirs ==
== How elixirs work ==
 
* Elixirs can be consumed using a {{r|bonus}} to grant an effect to a single creature.
* Summoned creatures can also consume elixirs by drinking a potion which is, for example, on the ground.
* Only some elixirs can be thrown. Those are specified in the tables below. When thrown, the effect can be applied on multiple creatures.
* The effect of an elixir last until long rest. The only execption is {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Universal Resistance}}, which has the duration of 10 turns.
* Only one elixirs can be applied at a time. Drinking another one will overwrite the previous elixir. There are a couple of exceptions:
** The Arcane Acuity from {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Battlemage's Power}} lasts for 3 turns after using some other elixir.
** The extra hit points from {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Bloodlust}} and {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Heroism}} remain after using som other elixir.
** {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Animal Speaking}} and {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Mind Reading}} acts like elixirs in the sense that they last until long rest. However, they do not overwrite any other elixir of potion.
** If a character consumes some kind of Elixir of Arcane Cultivation, spends the granted spell slot and consumes a similar elixir again, no additional spell slot is granted. If, instead, the second elixir is different (can also be another kind of Elixir of Arcane Cultivation) and then a similar Elixir of Arcane Cultivation as the first one is consumed again, an extra spell slot will be granted.

These elixirs are one-of-a-kind (you can acquire have more than one but they’re limited (uncraftable, not sold by any merchant - you gain it under special conditions).
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}}

An Elixir being inspected from the Alchemy window

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:

The description of an Elixir of Barkskin

How elixirs work[edit | edit source]

  • Elixirs can be consumed using a Bonus action to grant an effect to a single creature.
  • Summoned creatures can also consume elixirs by drinking a potion which is, for example, on the ground.
  • Only some elixirs can be thrown. Those are specified in the tables below. When thrown, the effect can be applied on multiple creatures.
  • The effect of an elixir last until long rest. The only execption is Potion of Universal Resistance, which has the duration of 10 turns.
  • Only one elixirs can be applied at a time. Drinking another one will overwrite the previous elixir. There are a couple of exceptions:
    • The Arcane Acuity from Elixir of Battlemage's Power lasts for 3 turns after using some other elixir.
    • The extra hit points from Elixir of Bloodlust and Elixir of Heroism remain after using som other elixir.
    • Potion of Animal Speaking and Potion of Mind Reading acts like elixirs in the sense that they last until long rest. However, they do not overwrite any other elixir of potion.
    • If a character consumes some kind of Elixir of Arcane Cultivation, spends the granted spell slot and consumes a similar elixir again, no additional spell slot is granted. If, instead, the second elixir is different (can also be another kind of Elixir of Arcane Cultivation) and then a similar Elixir of Arcane Cultivation as the first one is consumed again, an extra spell slot will be granted.

Unique Elixirs[edit | edit source]

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. [Needs Verification]

Other[edit | edit source]

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

Turn Based Duration[edit | edit source]

Terminology Note[edit | edit source]

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.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Trade level means here the level requirement for buying the consumable item.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 This item is not sold by any trader.
  3. Elixir of Necrotic Resistance can be bought from Vicar Humbletoes Vicar Humbletoes at level 1.
  4. 4.0 4.1 The area of effect when throwing the Elixir of Necrotic Resistance or Elixir of Psychic Resistance does not highlight affected characters like it does other resistance potions, but throwing still applies the elixir.
  5. Potion of Universal Resistance can only be bought from Skittle Skittle or Vicar Humbletoes Vicar Humbletoes
  6. Despite having "Elixir" in the name, this item behaves like a regular Potion. Its effect lasts only 10 rounds, and does not overwrite other elixirs.
  7. At least as of Patch 7, the tooltip for Cloud Giant (but not Hill Giant) Strength says "This elixir can be thrown at at target to apply its effects."
  8. At least as of Patch 7, the tooltip for Cloud Giant (but not Hill Giant) Strength says "This elixir can be thrown at at target to apply its effects."
  9. Duergar will also get this elixir, as they are a dwarven subrace.
  10. Drow will also get this elixir, as they were once an elven subrace.
