Potions
Potions are extremely useful for a variety of purposes. Giant strength potions can allow you to break down barriers that would otherwise have barred your party's progress, while elixirs and potions of healing will sooth your party's wounds. Many of the potions listed in the chart below are useful for battling creatures that would otherwise be extremely dangerous. Before you go into battle with ettercaps and spiders, ensure that your party is equipped with potions of freedom, and prior to entering the lair of a basilisk, take the time to purchase and use potions of mirrored eyes. Beware of cursed potions, which you'll generally be able to distinguish from their safe counterparts by color.
