These are the 13 best Skyrim potion recipes, in no particular order:<\/p>\n
Invisibility and Regenerate Health \u2013 Luna Moth Wing + Vampire Dust<\/b><\/h3>\n
Some potions simply heal, others make you invisible for a short period of time. This Invisibility and Regenerate Health potion does both. Use a Luna Moth Wing and Vampire Dust to craft a Skyrim potion recipe that makes you invisible and regenerates your health. Perfect for those moments when you feel overwhelmed by powerful enemies.<\/p>\n
Paralysis and Damage Health \u2013 Canis Root, Imp Stool + River Betty<\/b><\/h3>\n
If the enemy you\u2019re facing is too strong and you need to stop them in their tracks while dealing damage to them, the Paralysis and Damage Health poison works wonders. Simply craft with a Canis Root, Imp Stool and River Betty. Apply the potion to your weapon and attack to paralyse and damage their health.<\/p>
Waterbreathing \u2013 Chicken\u2019s Egg + Nordic Barnacle<\/b><\/h3>\n
If your character can\u2019t breathe underwater, you\u2019ll need to brew up some Waterbreathing potions to make your RPG life easier. Knock one up at an Alchemy Lab with a Chicken\u2019s Egg and Nordic Barnacle.<\/p>\n
Ravage Magicka \u2013 Orange Dartwing + Red Mountain Flower<\/b><\/h3>\n
Some enemies have ultra-powerful magic attacks and to stop them from using them, you\u2019ll need to apply a Ravage Magicka poison to your weapon and attack them with it. Doing this will severely reduce their total Magicka points and give you a window of respite from their spells.<\/p>\n
Damage Magicka Regen \u2013 Bear Claws + Blue Mountain Flower<\/b><\/h3>\n
Another great poison to apply to your weapon is Damage Magicka Regen. Attack an enemy with this and they will stop regenerating Magicka for a little while. This one and the poison above have certainly helped us out of some sticky situations.<\/p>\n
Fortify Magicka, Restore Magicka & Fortify Destruction \u2013 Briar Heart, Ectoplasm + Glow Dust<\/b><\/h3>\n
