As the days in will pass in Potion Craft, you might forget about the old, broken piece of machinery lying in your basement. But if you’ll decide to spend some time and money to repair it, it’ll prove to be a very useful tool.
The Alchemy Machine is a powerful tool that can be used to create the Philosopher’s stone, every Alchemist’s magnum opus. It is also one of the most complicated tools to use in Potion Craft.
How to Use Alchemy Machine in Potion Craft
To use the Alchemy Machine, you’ll first have to repair it. Every so often, a merchant character called “master alchemist” will visit your store and offer useful items.
For the first couple of days, he will only sell you recipes for potions, but after some time, he’ll also offer repair kits for the alchemy machine. The first one can be bought for 1,600 gold and it repairs the main and right furnaces, along with the rightmost five glass containers.
This will allow you to make the first reagent in the game – the Nigredo.
Alchemy Machine Requirements in Potion Craft
In order to create anything using the Alchemy Machine, you’ll have to use a variety of potions, specified in every reagent’s recipe. Those will have to be poured into the vials connected to the machine.
The Nigredo recipe calls for a Tier 3 healing potion, Potion with Poison 2 and Acid 3, Potion with Stone Skin 1, Fast Growth 1, and Sleep 1, Potion with Mana 2 and Hallucinations 2, and a Potion with Fire 1, Frost 1, Lightning 1, and Light 1.
As you can see, that’s a lot, but once you’ll have all of them, simply use them on the specified parts of the machine and pull the lever on the main furnace. This should create Nigredo, unlocking the recipe for the next reagent, known as Albedo.
The Frozen Throne was one of the RTS games I previously played, and I recall playing the campaign and going up against the undead only to discover that you actually sided with the undead in the end. Given the discussion of the undead, some of you may be familiar with necromancy in Spellforce. If you’re lacking the fourth ingredient and are unsure of how to obtain it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.
The 4th Ingredient Slot For Necromancy
It is important to note that you may complete all Necromancy concoctions, even Tier 3 units, with just the initial three ingredients. To make some of the more challenging undead, you will undoubtedly require higher quality ingredients.
However, if you have advanced in the game sufficiently to obtain the more valuable resources, you do not need the fourth ingredient.
Open your Grimoire to see the location of the fourth ingredient for necromancy. When you’re in the Grimoire, use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to go to the Necromancy page; the icon is a malevolent hand emerging from the ground.
There are a number of challenges there, and each one provides a prize. The first three tests concern spells. After successfully completing the first three tasks, you receive the Summon Necromancer Minions, Soul Cage, and Soul Catcher.
But the Soul Well, a unique room, can only be accessed by completing the final task. You will receive new prizes as you unlock this room and add it to your tower, such as weekly souls, an extra army stack space, and the option to utilize a fourth ingredient when summoning undead creatures using necromancy.
