Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Permanent potions not working

I am trying to use the permanent intelligence potion that I got in act 2. However each time I use it, I get my +6 points for about 5 minutes ... then those points disappear. I've tried reloading and taking the potion again at various points & places but each time the same thing happens. Now I'm just stuck with carrying it around .... help!

This is the 'permanent' intelligence potion from a lich in the lich cave? Unfortunately, that potion is bugged (or the lich is a damn liar), and IIRC its effect only lasts until another potion is used. The rest of the permanent potions in the game, found or created, should work as expected, though.

oh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> no way around that?

You could cheat to compensate for the non-permanent permanent potion. Either give yourself the extra stat points to put into Intelligence (see Hex editing - gold, experience, stat/skill points) or get an extra holy water (Inventory files) to create your own permanent Intelligence potion (with Alchemy level 4).
