All Of Auntie Ethel’s Hag Potion Effects

After navigating her lair and dealing with Auntie Ethel, you’ll find a room filled with various items. Besides the more obvious rewards like the Bitter Divorce wand and the Staff of Crones, there are many oddly named potions. These potions each have unique effects, many of which are negative.

Many of these potions are more for experimentation than practical use. They generally don’t sell for much gold, and most aren’t very useful. The few that might be somewhat helpful are Heart of Stone, Broken Promises, and A Mother’s Loathing, but their usefulness is limited and situational.

How To Remove Curses

Some of the potions listed above impose curses. These curses can sometimes be removed by taking a long rest, but others require the Remove Curse spell. This spell can be learned by Clerics, Paladins, Wizards,, and Warlocks and is a Level 3 spell. Using it can lift curses caused by certain potions or effects.
