Potions & Elixirs

Unravel the mysteries of Potions & Elixirs in Pathways into Darkness. Learn about Beyonder pathways, sequences, and how to advance your powers. Your friendly guide to the supernatural!

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Pathways into Darkness and wondering about those magical Potions & Elixirs? Think of them as your ticket to becoming a 'Beyonder' – someone with supernatural powers. Each potion you drink unlocks a new level, a 'Sequence,' in a specific 'Pathway.' It's like a whole skill tree, but with mystical abilities! There are twenty-two main Pathways, each with ten Sequences, from 9 (the starting point) all the way up to Sequence 0. As you advance, your powers grow and change. Some Pathways might give you utility skills like figuring things out or crafting gear, while others are all about raw power, like controlling the weather or messing with spirits. It's a big decision, though, because your chosen Pathway pretty much sets your allies and enemies in stone, so choose wisely! These Pathways and their powers have a deep history, tied to cosmic beings and ancient events. Don't worry too much about the super deep lore right now, just focus on understanding that each Pathway has its own set of abilities and authorities. You'll be learning more about specific ones as you play, but the core idea is that drinking these potions is how you gain your unique powers and start your journey as a Beyonder.
