They are what mutilated Geralt irreversibly, as a boy, and made him a witcher, and what he famously enhances his abilities with before each encounter. Potions are, you understand, fundamental to The Witcher series and lore. OK, I've chosen one specific decoction here, but really I want to choose all of them. Nightwraith decoction - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Oh dear Geralt! Have you been at the potions again? It shall bring a silly tear to my eye to relive the potion combo. They belong to a time when I don't think even Blizzard knew what WoW was going to be - a time we're going back to with the impending launch of WoW Classic on 27th August. WoW has always been good at giving people silly toys to play with, and as a 15-year-old game it's now got plenty of them, but Noggenfogger and Giant Growth were vanilla WoW potions. Or a whole guild farting around in a major capital city. Which is perfect for a whole guild raiding enemy lands. And couple it with Elixir of Giant Growth which, yes, does exactly what you think it does, and all of a sudden you have a giant skeleton running around. Puff! Now you can run around like the undead (or even more undead, if you were already undead like I was). It brings people together.Ĭase in point: Noggenfogger Elixir. I love how it breathes a smile into games, and love how it fills spare time and aids mucking around in games like World of Warcraft. Noggenfogger - what a silly name! But I love silliness. Elixir of Giant Growth and Noggenfogger Elixir - World of Warcraft 'Try our new slimming shake today! Immediate results guaranteed!' How wonderful.Įven better: you can upgrade it with wasps! I kid you not - the upgrade is literally "And Some Wasps", and it allows two targets to feel the full force of the swarm. It's a bit like the emosh part from My Girl but weaponised in your pocket. Although how the hell mushrooms make a jar of bees I do not know.Īnyway! In DAI you can lob a jar of bees at baddies - how good is that? They buzz around their head and sting anyone in the area, occasionally sending someone into a panic. Oh good one, Bertie, start with something which isn't even technically a potion! But bear with me here, it's made with mushrooms from a recipe, so. Corks out, bottoms up - cheers! Jar of Bees - Dragon Age: Inquisition And Some Wasps - inspired! But what do you think? Please sound off below. So here's to potions, and here are Five of the Best, according to me. They're both great shouts! And now I feel very inadequate about the potions I've chosen, so thanks Alan, thanks a lot. I would never have thought of that! Then he mentioned V-Jolt Solution from Resident Evil and the Murder of Crows Vigor from BioShock Infinite. I was telling a friend about my idea for this piece yesterday, for example, and he immediately started telling me of a potion he remembers brewing in a Mickey Mouse game for the SEGA Master System. My choices are seen through heavily tinted glasses unique to the kind of games I play and remember, and I am by no means an encyclopedia. Can you think of any now? Good - hold onto that! Because I want your input below. Or maybe it was one which made a character drastically more capable, or one which changed who - or what - we were. Maybe it was a potion which typified a game for you - the port-key to remembering an adventure. Once in a while, a memorable potion pops up. They're so common they've become a universal language. Imagine drinking something which alters your behaviour - how ridiculous! But potions we've been drinking for years. In games I mean! I hope you haven't been knocking them back in real-life, they're bad for you. Potions! We've been drinking them for years. But also the kind of thing which adds unforgettable flavour if done right. The kind of thing we usually just WASD past, oblivious. Five of the Best is going to be a series! Every Friday lunchtime, UK time, we're going to celebrate a different incidental detail from the world of games.
