The Lifeforce Potion is a buff potion that grants the Lifeforce buff when consumed. The buff increases the player's health capacity by up to 20% (see below for details). This lasts for (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 8 minutes / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 5 minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (Desktop version), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (Console version), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (Old-gen console version), by double-tapping the buff icon (Mobile version), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen (Nintendo 3DS version).

The Lifeforce Potion can sometimes be found in Shadow Chests and Lihzahrd Chests.

Notes

  • If the player has used a total of 15 Life Crystals and 20 Life Fruits to upgrade their health capacity to the 500 point maximum, the Lifeforce Potion will temporarily boost the player's health capacity by +100, to a total of 600, the highest amount of health one can legitimately reach.
  • The Lifeforce Potion does not always increase the player's maximum health by exactly 20%. Instead, it grants +20 HP for each 100 HP of the player's maximum health.[1] For example, a player with 425 maximum health will be granted 505 maximum health rather than 510.

    • As the player's natural health regeneration rate is related to the maximum health, it will also slightly increase player's regeneration rate.
    • Despite the Prismite being available on the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version and having "Material" listed in its tooltip, the Lifeforce Potion cannot be crafted due to a lack of Shiverthorn in the game. However, it can still be found in Shadow Chests in the Underworld.

    Tips

    • The Prismite can only be acquired by fishing in the Hallow. Though it can be caught at any depth, the player will have a greater chance to catch the Prismite if they fish on the surface, because only two special fish can be caught within the surface Hallow (the Prismite and the Princess Fish).
    • Using the Lifeforce Potion can greatly increase a player's chances of winning any major boss battle, especially in Expert Mode and Master Mode, since the player needs all the buffs and health they can get.

    History

    1. Information taken from the Desktop version Desktop 1.4.4.9 source code, method UpdateBuffs() in Terraria.Player.cs. The formula used is maxLifeWithLifeforcePotion = maxLife + maxLife / 5 / 20 * 20. Because maxLife is an integer, the results of the two division operations are rounded down. Therefore, the actual formula is as follows: maxLifeWithLifeforcePotion = maxLife + ⌊⌊maxLife / 5⌋ / 20⌋ * 20.
