Are you wondering how you make a health potion in Skyrim? The Alchemy system in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a little bit advanced, simply because there are so many ways to make different potions. There isn't one single way to brew a health potion in Skyrim, so in this guide, we'll teach you a super basic health potion recipe, then go over all the different ways you can make potions to heal yourself in this classic RPG.
Things You Should Know
- Two simple recipes to make a health potion in Skyrim are Blue Mountain Flower & Butterfly Wing or Blisterwort & Wheat.
- Some ingredient combos will make potions that heal you and give other effects.
- Level up your Alchemy perk tree to create even more potent potions.
Steps
Making Basic Health Potions
- Find two ingredients that have the "restore health" effect. A full list of these materials is listed below, but Blue Mountain Flower and Butterfly Wings are two easy ingredients to obtain. Another set of easy ingredients is Blisterwort and Wheat.
- Go to an alchemy lab. Alchemy labs are found all over Skyrim, most often in inns or alchemy shops. You can also find them in houses (including player-owned houses), caves, shrines, Orc strongholds, and more.[1]Advertisement
- Combine the ingredients into a potion. Take note of what other effects your potion has, if any. For example, combining Blue Mountain Flower and Butterfly Wing will make a potion that just restores health, but combining Blue Mountain Flower and Wheat will make a potion that restores health and fortifies your health.
