The P Potion has a random effect, mostly involving HP.

Effect[ | ]

Source code for the effect.

First, check for turtle status and low HP.

  • If the Player is a turtle, the turtle effect is removed and the player loses 50% of current HP (rounded **up**).
  • Else, if the player has <8% HP, heal amount chosen randomly from 9 possible values (equal chance):
    • +200 HP
    • +400 HP
    • +600 HP
    • +50% HP (not rounded)
    • +65% HP (not rounded)
    • +80% HP (not rounded)
    • +10 HP
    • +7 HP (bugged: heals 10 instead)
    • +3 HP (bugged: heals 10 instead)

If the player is neither a turtle nor at low HP, you'll get a Normal effect, a Strange effect, or a Very Strange effect, with chances depending on how many P Potions have been used in the current quest.

Normal effect: One of:

  • 1/3 chance: Lose either 20% or 30% of max HP.
  • 2/3 chance: Gain either 20% or 30% of max HP.

Strange effect: One of (equal chance):

  • Immobilize player for 3 to 10 seconds.
  • Player becomes turtle for 3-10 seconds. (Turtle duration counts down only when player is not stopped from moving.)
  • Recover all HP.
  • Set HP to 10.

Very strange effect: One of (equal chance):

  • Cast Acid Rain, Fireball, and Teleport.
  • Cast 3 Acid Rains and Teleport.
  • Cast 4 Fireballs, with 3 Teleports in between: Fireball, Teleport, Fireball, Teleport, Fireball, Teleport, Fireball.

The effect strangeness chance depends on the number of P potions previously used, with strangeness increasing as more potions are used.

  • 1/(floor(p/2) + 1): Normal effect.
  • 1/(floor(p/6) + 1): Strange effect.
  • else: Very strange effect.

Brewing manual[ | ]

Below is the description in the brewing manual of the P Potion

The only thing that affects the number of potions created is the initial number of candies added. You will always receive 1 potion for every 500 candies added at the beginning, plus one additional potion. (So 500 = 2 potions, 1000 = 3 potions, etc.)

You only need to mix for 1 second in the second step, which means only adding 100 candies in the following step.

You only need to add a single lollipop in the "Add some lollipops" step.

So the total cost for P potions is (500 x (numberOfPotions - 1) + 100) candies, and 1 lollipop.

 | | | |                                         | follow in order to get better results  | | | |  
 | | | |   And it's also hard to brew!           | when drinking the P potion. Although   | | | |  
 | | | |                                         | these rules were defined empirically,  | | | |  
 | | | |   Instructions :                        | they seem to work pretty well.         | | | |  
 | | | |    - Put 500 candies in your cauldron   |                                        | | | |  
 | | | |    - Mix for a few seconds              |   - The more you use P potions, the more | | |  
 | | | |    - Stop mixing                        | they seem to have strange effects.     | | | |  
 | | | |    - Add 100 times more candies than the|                                        | | | |  
 | | | | number of seconds you mixed. For example|   - If your health is very low, you    | | | |  
 | | | | if you mixed during 4 seconds, you'll   | should probably drink a P potion.      | | | |  
 | | | | need to add 400 candies. Do not multiply|                                        | | | |  
 | | | | this quantity, even if you want to make |   - Animals drinking P potions seem to | | | |  
 | | | | more than one potion.                   | react in a very bad way.               | | | |  
 | | | |    - Heat up until the water is lukewarm|                                        | | | |  
 | | | |    - Stop heating up                    |                                        | | | |
