An Elixir being inspected from the Alchemy window

Similar to Potions, Elixirs are consumable items that can be drunk as a bonus action to apply a variety of beneficial effects. Unlike Potions, the effects of an Elixir last until either taking a long rest or drinking another Elixir. Many Elixirs can be created with Alchemy.

A character can only benefit from the effects of one elixir at a time: drinking an elixir immediately cancels any active effects of a previously drunk elixir.

Other activities can cause elixir benefits to end, including:

The description of an Elixir of Barkskin

Unique Elixirs

These elixirs cannot be crafted and are not sold by normal merchants. They can only be obtained by giving blood samples to Araj Oblodra, and each party member can only do this once, so the number available is limited. These elixirs apparently do not replace regular elixirs when drunk, nor do they replace elixirs from the blood of different races. [Needs Verification]

Other

The following items are called Elixirs, but function more similary to Potions.

Turn Based Duration


Terminology Note

In-game, "Potion" is used as a general category of liquid consumables that includes the more specific categories of Potions, Coatings and Elixirs, which are highlighted in tooltips. Only consumables labelled as "elixirs" follow the specific rules mentioned above.

In the tabletop game, "elixir" is just a word used to name particularly powerful potions, and a few potions in Baldur's Gate 3 follow this convention despite functioning as regular potions. These "false elixirs" are included in the Potions page.

Notes

  1. At least as of Patch 7, the tooltip for Cloud Giant (but not Hill Giant) Strength says "This elixir can be thrown at at target to apply its effects."
  2. At least as of Patch 7, the tooltip for Cloud Giant (but not Hill Giant) Strength says "This elixir can be thrown at at target to apply its effects."
  3. Duergar will also get this elixir, as they are a dwarven subrace.
  4. Drow will also get this elixir, as they were once an elven subrace.
