Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 All Potions Alchemy Recipes

This page lists all Alchemy Recipes (Potion Recipes) for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. To brew the potions you don’t need to have unlocked the recipe. The brewing instructions work even without having learned the recipe. When you brew a potion for the first time it will automatically give you the recipe for free, so save your money.

Ingredients can be bought from apothecaries or in the wilderness. Recipes are bought from apothecaries too. Potions are brewed at Alchemy Benches, found in most larger towns such as Troskowitz or Kuttenberg. They get marked automatically when going near them for the first time.

The potion quality (Weak, Regular, Strong, Henry’s) depends on how well you follow the instructions. The more mistakes you make the lower the quality will be, for example if you heat it for too short or too long. Buying Alchemy Skills from the Player Menu can make it easier. Brewing the maximum quality called “Henry’s” requires the Secret of Secrets skill, available at Alchemy Level 16.
