Elden Ring: Flask of Wondrous Physick; what is it and how does it work?

We continue with the Elden Ring guide. In this article, we tell you how the Flasks of Wondrous Physick work, a powerful potion that you can use to receive beneficial states that will allow you to fight in better conditions against the most difficult enemies. Below we go over all the details you should know.

Flask of Wondrous Physick: how does it work?

This is a single-use potion that you can use at any time. Keep in mind that if you consume it, you won't be able to use it again until you die or perform fast travel. In other words: you can't drink it more than once during a boss fight. It is highly recommended to use it, as there are some that temporarily increase your health, strength or defense. It is even possible to create one that prevents you from losing the runes you carry in case you die.

How to get the Flask of Wondrous Physick

To create miraculous mixtures you need two things: the container (vial) and the tears from which you can create the different formulas. The vial itself is a unique object that you can carry with you at all times, equipped with the potion you have created. It does not wear out; you just have to keep in mind that you can only use it once in each combat. On the other hand, the tears that combine their effects to create unique formulas are obtained by defeating some enemies and bosses. It is also possible to find some while exploring. It is found in the Third Church of Marika. We indicate the exact location on the map below.

Where to create potions

Once you have the vial in your possession, from that moment on you will have an option called "Mix Wondrous Physick" in the menu that appears when you rest in a Site of Grace. In it, you will be able to mix tears and see information about their different effects.
