In Octopath Traveler, you can get the Apothecary, Alfyn, to join your party, and his ability to concoct items can be extremely useful albeit tricky to understand. Here’s our guide on Alfyn’s Concoct ability.
Alfyn Concoct Guide for Octopath Traveler
Alfyn’s Concoction ability allows him to concoct various items that can be used to support your party, or against enemies. To have Alfyn concoct ingredients, select Concoct during Alfyn’s turn in battle and a mixing menu will open up that will allow you to use ingredients to create either hazardous or medicinal items.
Octopath Traveler’s tool tips will let you know whether a component is hazardous or medicinal, but general speaking, Soothing and Purifying components are medicinal while Injurious and Ruinous components are hazardous, with the Purifying and Ruinous attributes indicating a stronger or more potent effect than their Soothing and Injurious counterparts.
Seed and Dust indicate who will be targeted by the concoction. Seed is a Single Target component while Dust will have a Target All effect.
To complete the concoct recipe, you simply just need to choose the ingredient you want to use. Different ingredients can add different effects to the concoction. Finding out all of the Alfyn concoct recipes in Octopath Traveler can be a daunting task, but fear not, in this article we’ll cover all of the Apothecary concoct recipes for Alfyn in Octopath Traveler.
Some ingredients are harder to find than others, but at least you’ll know exactly how to make everything with these concoct recipes.
