Players needing an additional boost in can use the smoothie blending mechanic to create powerful potions. Similar to the Elixir cooking mechanicin, cooking Monster Parts with certain ingredients will instead yield potions with various buffs.

Here are all possible combinations of Monster Fangs, Monster Guts, and special ingredients for potions.
