The first time you visit Fiona’s house in Moonlight Peaks, you’ll no doubt notice her cauldron. And Sabrina can be seen working away at her potions, too. But even after fixing your wand and learning to cast spells, you may be wondering… how do I brew potions? Well, it all starts with unlocking your first cauldron.
In Moonlight Peaks, your cauldron is how you’ll brew several useful potions. These will help you keep your stamina up, restore mana, and more. But before you can buy potion recipes, you’ll need to actually get your first cauldron and unlock the cauldron blueprint. Here’s how to make it happen.

How to Get a Cauldron in Moonlight Peaks
Like many items & features in Moonlight Peaks, unlocking the cauldron is tied to a story quest. Specifically, you need to receive & complete the “Mend it with Magic” quest. For us, this quest triggered in the Winter. Given that Fiona is its key character, this quest may be tied to your friendship level with Fiona.
The quest begins with a mysterious crate, which Viktor delivers to you in the morning. Inside is your mother’s old cauldron… but it’s broken! To fix it, you’ll need to talk to the witches. They’ll point you to Fiona, who is all too happy to help fix the cauldron. Simply bring her 2 Mana Essences, and she will patch it right up.
After giving Fiona the Mana Essences, you have to wait for her to show up at your house to deliver the cauldron, which takes roughly a day in-game. Once she does, she will also teach you the cauldron blueprint and your first-ever potion recipe: the Alter Ego Elixir. At this point, you will be able to learn new potion recipes and brew potions.
How to Make Potions in Moonlight Peaks
Once you’ve unlocked the cauldron, brewing potions is pretty straightforward. You just need the recipe and the required ingredients. Then, interact with the cauldron to get started brewing your potion.
Like juice and wine, the potion will take a little time to finish. Once it does, you can collect it from the cauldron and use it as intended.
All Potion Recipes in Moonlight Peaks & How to Get Them
Fiona teaches you the first potion recipe, but what then? After you’ve unlocked the cauldron, Sabrina will stock potion recipes at Webb of Wonders. Head there to buy new recipes and expand your repertoire. Here are all of the potion recipes we’ve encountered in Moonlight Peaks so far.
