Potions are a mid-game mechanic in Halls of Torment.
After unlocking the Cupbearer, players gain the ability to brew Potions in the Camp. These allow the player to manipulate selection of Traits, Abilities or Items.
Initially, only Strong Wine is unlocked. The other potions have to be first unlocked by gathering Ingredients.
Ingredient[]
There are 15 Ingredients in total, each used to unlock a specific Potion Type.
- The Herb for each Ingredient spawns in a random location, in a specific Hall: 2 on Normal and 1 on Agony.
- Collecting a Herb permanently removes it from the Hall.
- The Gatherer's Charm Amulet aids greatly in locating Herbs within a Hall, although it is not strictly necessary.

Notes[]
- The Potion of Memories allows multiple traits within the same trait level to be selected.
- Memorize one trait first, then select the other (if present) or wait for the other to appear before selecting it (if absent). After that, wait for the next level-up and select the memorized trait.
- Memorizing a trait makes other traits in the same selection group more likely to appear when using Strong Wine or levelling up.
- E.g. Both Charging and Power can be selected for Arcane Splinter II using this method. Upon memorizing one, the other becomes more likely to appear.
