This Hogwarts Legacy guide explains how to use potions simultaneously, a requirement for Professor Sharp's Assignment 1. This quest, received after completing the Jackdaw's Rest main story mission, tasks players with using a Focus Potion, then simultaneously using Maxima and Edurus Potions. The game doesn't explicitly detail this dual-potion use, so this guide clarifies the process. Separate guides cover potion crafting and ingredient locations.

Reward for Completing Professor Sharp's Assignment 1:

Completing the assignment unlocks the Depulso spell, which forcefully repels objects and enemies, causing knock-on damage. It's also useful for manipulating objects.

How to Use Maxima and Edurus Potions Simultaneously:

1. Access the Tool Wheel by holding down L1/LB.
2. Select a potion, then release L1/LB to equip it.
3. Drink the equipped potion by pressing L1/LB (don't hold).
4. Once the first potion's effects begin, quickly equip and drink the second potion, repeating steps 2 and 3.
5. The game registers the simultaneous activation of both potions, fulfilling Professor Sharp's request.

Edurus Potion (Mongrel Fur and Ashwinder Eggs) provides 20 seconds of enhanced defense. Maxima Potion (Spider Fangs and Leech Juice) boosts spell damage for 30 seconds.
