Potions (also known as Devil's brews in The Black Sanctum) are items that first appear in The Blue Ballroom, and again in The Black Sanctum. When Hector touches a potion, his control scheme changes. Potions come in three varieties: pink, red, and blue. Pink potions (known as Confuse Potion) will reverse the arrow keys. These potions often appear near areas that contains narrow paths surround by the Void. After interacting with the Confuse Potion, Hector makes a hiccups sound. Red potions (known as Motion Potion) will make Hector continuously move in a single direction, regardless of any new input afterwards, until he hits a wall. These potions often appear near areas that contain blocks. After interacting with the Motion Potion, Hector makes a blubbering sound. Blue potions will remove the effects from every other potion Hector had picked up before. After interacting with the Blue Potion, Hector will sigh.
Trivia[]
There is a Motion Potion hidden behind the gate in the Last level of the The Black Sanctum "Nevermore", as its sound effect can be heard after the player go through it.
