Thymesia has a lot of unique mechanics we haven’t seen much in other soulslikes, and one of those is its intriguing potions system. Not only can you find and equip a variety of ingredients to add boons to your potions, but using specific ingredients together can result in recipes that grant additional helpful bonuses. Note, however, that some ingredients won’t be available until near the end of the game and may require you to revisit locations via sub quests. Also, you do not need to place the ingredients in order to achieve the desired recipe. We’ve compiled a full list of recipes below so that you can decide what works best for you.
