Horrific Visions Potions Guide
Horrific Visions in Patch 11.1.5 feature color-coded potions with different effects, but one of them will always drain your Sanity. In this guide, we will show you how to identify the bad potion each run and explain what each color does based on that.
How Potions Work in Horrific Visions (Patch 11.1.5)
Inside both (Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar and Horrific Vision of Stormwind), you will come across colored potions scattered throughout the zones. Each potion gives you a specific effect, but which color gives which effects changes with every run. That means you will need to figure out the "bad" potion first before using any of them.
Potion Effects
Here are all the potion effects tied to Horrific Visions:
- Increases your current Sanity by 100.
- Grants the
Sickening Potion buff — Take 5% less damage from all sources. On expiration or removal you will vomit uncontrollably
for a short time. - Grants the
Sluggish Potion buff — Heals 2% of maximum health every 5 seconds. On expiration or removal will slow Movement Speed
for a short time. - Grants the
Spicy Potion buff — Frequently breath fire dealing damage to nearby enemies. On expiration or removal, you will
catch fire yourself for a short time. - Decreases your current Sanity by 100 (bad one).
Only one potion per run will drain your Sanity, the rest will provide one of the buffs or restore your Sanity. Once you know which color is bad, you can safely identify the others using a fixed pattern (see table at the end).
How to Identify the Bad Potion
In Stormwind, right after entering the Vision, head toward Cathedral Square. At the far end of the first street is a pack of enemies including a Fallen Voidspeaker and Fallen Heartpiercer. Behind them, you will see the corpse of Morgan Pestle with a potion next to it.
The color of that potion is your bad one for the run! Do not drink potions of that color, as they will drain your Sanity!
When you enter the Vision of Orgrimmar, make your way to the left side of Thrall's building. The second building contains the body of a Voidbound Ravager with a potion next to it.
The color of that potion is your bad potion for this run.
Which Color Does What?
When you figure out the bad potion color, use this table to figure out what the other colors will do:
| Bad Potion | +100 Sanity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Green | Red | Blue | Purple |
| Blue | Purple | Green | Red | Black |
| Green | Red | Purple | Black | Blue |
| Purple | Black | Green | Red | Blue |
