To get the Boxing Gloves ingredient in Roblox Wacky Wizards, you must complete the secret cavern quest located near the volcano. The quest requires brewing three specific potions in sequence: a Hot Potion to burn down the entrance barrier, a Giant Potion to lift a heavy key, and a DNA Potion to open the cavern bridge. Once inside, talking to the Guardian and choosing either Team Witches or Team Wizards grants you the Boxing Gloves permanently for your table.
Prerequisites: Required Starter Ingredients
Before heading to the quest cavern, make sure you have unlocked or spawned the basic ingredients needed for the three trial potions. You do not need Robux or premium game passes to obtain the Boxing Gloves.
| Required Ingredient | How to Obtain in the Overworld | Potion Purpose in Quest |
|---|---|---|
| Chili | Found in the underground desert parkour cave | Brews Hot Potion to clear the entrance |
| Giant's Ear | Default starter ingredient on your brewing table | Brews Giant Potion to lift the heavy key |
| Chameleon | Found resting on a tree near the spawn area | Combined with Fairy for the Shrink Ray Potion |
| Fairy | Default starter ingredient on your brewing table | Combined with Chameleon to make the DNA Potion |
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking Boxing Gloves
Step 1: Burn the Cave Entrance with a Hot Potion
- Head to your cauldron and drop in 1 Chili.
- Click spawn potion to receive the Hot Potion.
- Carry the potion to the base of the volcano, to the left of the main ramp.
- Locate the patch of vines with a sign reading "Do Not Pour Hot Potions."
- Click or interact with the hedge while holding the Hot Potion to burn the brush away and open the cave.
Step 2: Lift the Giant Key with a Giant Potion
- Teleport back to your cauldron and click Drain to reset your brew.
- Drop 1 Giant's Ear (or 2 Giant's Ears) into the cauldron to spawn a Giant Potion.
- Drink the potion or carry it into the opened cave.
- Jump across the stepping stones over the lava pit. Alternatively, players who have crafted a flying potion can fly across this obstacle.
- Approach the Giant Key on the ground next to Glinda the Witch.
- Drink the Giant Potion if you have not already. Once your character grows, pick up the enlarged key and walk into the locked cavern door to open it.
Step 3: Brew and Deliver the DNA Potion
- Step through the unlocked door to meet an NPC named The Collector, who demands a vial of your DNA before activating the bridge.
- Teleport back to your cauldron and drain it completely.
- Place 1 Fairy and 1 Chameleon into the cauldron to create a Shrink Ray Potion.
- Grab the potion, climb onto the rim of your cauldron, drain the pot again, and drink the potion.
- Your avatar will shrink, fall into the empty cauldron, and die. Upon respawning, your Roblox username will appear listed inside the cauldron as an ingredient.
- Click spawn potion to brew your personalized DNA Potion.
- Return to the cavern, interact with The Collector, and select "Will this potion help?" to hand over your DNA. A glowing bridge will extend across the chasm.
Step 4: Choose a Faction at the Guardian
- Walk across the bridge to find the Guardian (a large stone golem) watching an argument between Oz the Wizard and Glinda the Witch.
- Interact with the Guardian, who instructs you to pick a side in the conflict: Team Witches or Team Wizards.
- Select whichever faction you prefer. The choice does not restrict your access; both sides award the Boxing Gloves ingredient immediately upon completing the dialogue.
- Teleport back to your cauldron and place the Boxing Gloves into your pot or on your table to save it.
Known Cauldron Skin Bug
During the Witches vs Wizards update, players reported an issue where equipped cauldron skins (such as the Trophy, Teacup, Frozen, or Trash Can skins from the shop) prevented the cauldron from registering player DNA after drinking the Shrink Ray Potion.
If your username does not appear in your cauldron after shrinking and dying inside it, remove your custom cauldron skin, switch to the default cauldron, and rejoin a fresh server before repeating the DNA brewing process.

Once unlocked, the Boxing Gloves ingredient can be combined with standard ingredients to craft various combat and transformation potions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does picking Witches or Wizards change the Boxing Gloves reward?
No. Both factions grant the exact same Boxing Gloves ingredient upon finishing the conversation with the Guardian. Players can change their allegiance later during faction events.
Why won't the Giant Key move when I click it?
The Giant Key cannot be picked up at standard player size. You must drink a potion brewed with Giant's Ear to enlarge your character before the game allows you to lift and carry the key to the cavern door.
Can I fly over the lava parkour inside the cave?
Yes. Unlike the Beans quest area inside the volcano, which enforces a strict no-fly zone, players can use a flying potion (such as Bird + Robux or Fairy + Fish) to bypass the stepping-stone obstacle in the Boxing Gloves cavern.
