Preparing the interactive tool. Please wait; the guide and worked examples remain available below.
Keep diagnosis and treatment evidence separate
This workflow follows the publisher's high-level loop and deliberately avoids a fabricated symptom-to-potion list. The diagnosis minigame and cauldron are the game's own sources of case-specific information.
- At the clinic, start the diagnosis interaction available for the patient and complete the prompts shown in your current control scheme.
- Record the diagnosis/result the game displays; if the UI is unclear, stop and note the exact control prompt and platform rather than guessing from another platform's instructions.
- Use the diagnosis and current quest/patient text to identify the potion or material need; do not assume the same symptom label always maps to one potion across every case.
- Gather only the ingredients named/required by the recipe shown in your cauldron UI; check inventory and tool/area access separately.
- Brew the potion, confirm the finished item appears in inventory, then return to the patient and use the treatment interaction.
- If the case cannot progress, record which stage failed—diagnosis prompt, missing ingredient, unavailable recipe, brewing or treatment—and compare the exact platform/build with current official patch notes.
| Stage | Evidence to capture | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnosis | Exact prompt/result shown | Use the displayed case clue; don't infer from appearance |
| Gathering | Named ingredients and access state | Collect only what the recipe/UI calls for |
| Brewing | Recipe visibility and result item | Verify item is in inventory before leaving |
| Treatment | Patient prompt and consumed item | Record exact response if it does not advance |

Build a useful issue report
The page's local form is a note-taking aid only; it cannot reveal the correct potion or inspect inventory.
- Select the failed stage and record platform/build.
- Copy the exact patient or recipe prompt without personal account information.
- Say what you tried and what the screen did; distinguish a reproducible UI issue from a missing ingredient.
Before you play
- I completed and recorded diagnosis before selecting a cure.
- I used the current recipe UI instead of an unsourced universal chart.
- I verified the brewed item before returning to the patient.
- I recorded the exact failed stage and platform/build.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the potion from the patient's appearance alone?
This guide doesn't claim a universal mapping; the official workflow says to diagnose symptoms, then brew and treat. Follow the result and UI in your build.
Does the guide list all diagnosis controls?
No. Controls vary by platform and the official product page does not publish a full input table. Follow the prompt shown in-game.
Can the browser tool tell me the correct recipe?
No. It only records the stage and symptom text you enter; it has no access to the game.
