Flask of Wondrous Physick — Beginner Guide
The Wondrous Physick is a free custom buff flask. Mix two Crystal Tears, drink once before a hard fight, and get a huge temporary power spike for Margit, Godrick, and beyond.
What It Is
- Separate from Crimson / Cerulean flasks (those use Golden Seeds & Sacred Tears).
- You mix two Crystal Tears into one Physick charge.
- Usually drunk once per fight right before or at the start of a boss.
Where to Get the Flask
- Travel to the Third Church of Marika in East Limgrave (east of Mistwood / near the teleport ruin area).
- Interact with the bowl / basin inside the church.
- Receive the Flask of Wondrous Physick.
- From then on, mix tears at any Site of Grace under the Physick menu.

Best Early Crystal Tear Mixes
| Goal | Suggested mix |
|---|---|
| Survive Margit / Godrick | Defense tear + stamina / green tear (stay alive longer) |
| More damage | Strength-knot or Dexterity-knot + damage shrouding tear matching your build |
| Caster / Faith | Mind / FP comfort + spell damage tear when available |
| Universal beginner mix | Opaline Hardtear (defense) + Greenburst / stamina tear |
Exact tear names vary as you explore churches, bosses, and minor Erdtree avatars. Grab every Crystal Tear you see — they are free power.
How to Use It in Boss Fights
- Set your mix at a Site of Grace before the fog gate.
- Enter the fight, then drink Physick in a safe window (after the first dodge, not during a long combo).
- Play aggressive during the buff window — it is wasted if you only heal and run.
- Pair with an upgraded weapon (smithing stones) and a spirit ash.
Physick vs Regular Flasks
| Flask | Job |
|---|---|
| Crimson / Cerulean | Heal HP / restore FP during the fight |
| Wondrous Physick | One strong custom buff for the attempt |
Upgrade both systems. Physick does not replace Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears.
