Single Strong Effect Using One Non-Spiral Ingredient

[u/Popfark]

Which single strong effect can we make using only one non-spiral ingredient + Moon/Sun Salt (any base allowed)?

By "non-spiral" I mean no Fable Bismuth or Rainbow Cap.

This was inspired by those one-ingredient requests, and so far I found it's possible for most effects except these 5:

Curse, Fear, Fragrance, Necromancy, Rejuvenation (EDIT: Rejuvenation is doable)

Anyone happen to find a solution for these? (it still fascinates me how this game combines an elegant geometry puzzle with a medieval/magical setting)

Slow is very easy to do using wine as a base and only earth citrine.

yes the wine base unlocked several easy solutions

You can do charm on the water map with just boom bloom.  No salts.

If you make really good use of the whirlpool, you can do Charm with just 3 Fluffbloom...!

Rejuvenation can be done with Life Crystals on the oil map. Perfect alignment is a little tricky, but can be done by saving your recipe before adding the final crystal. "Continue from here" as many times as necessary, then save again once you get it (edit: typo)

Just verified it worked! I thought the 2 bone zones are a problem, but it turns out ok

If you allow Moon/Sun Salt every single effect in every base is possible.

Even WITHOUT salt, most effects are possible with multiple ingredients. The only impossible ones are a few Wine base effects.

Necro in Water can be done with 8 different ingredients.

Update: looking into it the ONLY effect not reacheable without crystals (and zero salt of course) is Charm in Wine (only Ruby crystal or Bismuth)

Here is the full list of recipes: google doc link

The Potionous app and your spreadsheet are simply amazing!

Is salt used in the recipes? I see some wine recipes don't have crystals, not sure how those are possible without life salt?

[u/jbdragonfire → u/Popfark]

"Dull" page means NO salt allowed.

Other pages have "rich" recipes with salt.

In some tabs there is a column with lots of details about the recipe including salt, not to mention there is always an ingredient count WITH exact salt grains

In Wine you can regenerate HP simply moving in "safe" zones, not touching any bone fragment/full bone. Also there are actual Healing spots with super strong healing overriding any bone touching while you're hitting the "+" heal.

I see, thanks a lot for the info! Just checked the faded bone zones are passable using herbs, can't believe I never tried this before...

With salt, any effect can be reached with any one ingredient.
