Potion Creation

4. After passing the quiz, head to the next room, South and talk with Studying Man, Darwin Template:Navi. He will explain the basics for creating potions.

Bypassing: Giving an 710 Illusion Flower to Darwin by first selecting the flower option when initially speaking to him will send the player directly to the final NPC (Step 15) in honor of the bribe. The flower is to be presented when he asks you to bring the other materials, so the player will still need to choose the 1st option after selecting the flower option.

• He will then ask questions regarding potion creation after he explains the process.
• The answers are obvious as the incorrect answers are foolish comments like "dance around and flap your arms".

The player will need the following items for this part:

• 1 507 Red Herb
• 1 508 Yellow Herb
