A dispel potion is a magical mixture designed to reverse the effects of ongoing enchantments upon a living being. Such potions feature in Quest for Glory 1, Quest for Glory 2 and Quest for Glory 3 and may be made with a number of different recipes.
Uses by the Hero[]
Quest for Glory I[]
Dispel Potion as seen in QFG1VGA
In Quest for Glory I, a single dispel potion was needed that the Hero might free the enchanted Elsa von Spielburg from Baba Yaga's curse. After being informed of such a potion by the Dryad of the Woods, the adventurer would need to gather a Magic Acorn, water from the nearby Flying Falls, Piece of Green Fur, flowers from Erana's Peace, and Flask of Fairy Dust and take them to the nearby healer, Amelia Appleberry, that she might combine them appropriately.
Once this was done, the hero had but to cast the mixture onto Elsa as he confronted her within the Brigands' stronghold. Once the concoction fell upon the young woman, her memories of her true origins were revealed to her, and she was able to return to the castle of her father.
Quest for Glory II[]
In Quest for Glory II, the druggist Harik Attar could create a dispel potion using the feather of a griffin and the fabled Fruit of Compassion. Unlike the dispel potion the hero had used in Spielburg, however, it was necessary to combine the potion first with the hair of the person who required disenchanting - and the mixture would have to be imbibed rather than applied topically.
This potion made it possible for the Hero to free Ad Avis' apprentice, Al Scurva from a spell which had transformed him into a chimerical beast, and in the end to restore Roget to his human form as Emir Arus Al-din.
Unlike in the first game, fetching the ingredients to Harik and obtaining the potion is not obligatory to finish the game. In the end however Harik apparently finds the ingredients in some way, although it is not explained how, in order to restore the Emir.
Quest for Glory III[]
Dispel Potion as seen in QFG3
In Quest for Glory III, dispel potions were necessary for a number of tasks. They could be concocted by the healer Salim Nafs, who says that the recipe is bee's knees, ibis's eyelashes, clear amethyst crystal; however he still needs Water from the Pool of Peace, Venomous Vine Fruit and a Gift from the Heart of the World.
Using these potions, the Hero would be able to transmute Johari from a humanoid leopardess back into her true form; a Magic User to free the Leopardman Shaman from the grip of demonic possession; and for everyone to likewise exorcise Rakeesh's daughter Reeshaka Dar Kreesha.
