To make the DNA potion in Roblox Wacky Wizards, you must brew a Shrink Ray potion, empty your cauldron, and drink the Shrink Ray potion while standing directly above your pot. Shrinking causes your character to fall into the cauldron and die, which registers your Roblox username as the "You" ingredient in the brewing book. Spawning this brew gives you the DNA potion, which is required to complete the secret cavern bridge quest for the Boxing Glove and feed specific goblins in the Goblin Village.
How to Make the DNA Potion
The DNA potion (commonly listed as the "You" potion or your character's username potion) requires two default brewing table ingredients before you can turn your character into a brewable item.
| Step | Action | Required Ingredients | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brew Shrink Ray | 1 Fairy + 1 Chameleon | Creates the Shrink Ray potion |
| 2 | Drain Cauldron | None (Press "Drain" in brewing book) | Clears remaining liquid and ingredients |
| 3 | Consume on Pot | 1 Shrink Ray Potion | Character shrinks and falls into cauldron |
| 4 | Spawn DNA Potion | "You" (Player Username) | DNA / Username Potion is placed in hand |
Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions
- Place one Fairy and one Chameleon into your empty cauldron.
- Spawn the resulting Shrink Ray potion (also called the death shrink potion) into your inventory.
- Drain your cauldron completely using the brewing book so no leftover fairies or chameleons remain in the pot.
- Jump onto the rim of your cauldron and drink the Shrink Ray potion.
- As your avatar shrinks down, your character will drop into the bottom of the pot, reset, and die.
- Check your brewing book or the ingredient list floating above your cauldron. Your Roblox username will now appear as an active ingredient labeled "You".
- Click "Spawn" in your brewing book to bottle your DNA potion.
Using the DNA Potion for the Boxing Glove Quest
The primary reason players brew the DNA potion is to satisfy The Collector and gain access to the Guardian in the secret cavern, which unlocks the permanent Boxing Glove ingredient for your table.
1. Burn the Cavern Entrance
Head toward the volcano area and locate the hedge that displays a sign reading "do not pour hot potions." Brew a Hot potion at your cauldron using one Chili. Carry the Hot potion to the hedge and interact with the vines to burn them away, revealing the cave entrance.
2. Move the Giant Key
Enter the cavern and traverse the parkour path until you locate a locked stone door and an oversized key. The key displays a prompt stating it is too heavy to lift in normal form. Return to your cauldron, place one Giant's Ear inside to brew a Giant potion, and run or fly back to the key. Drink the Giant potion to expand your character, pick up the key, and insert it into the door lock.
3. Deliver Your DNA to The Collector
Walk past the opened door to find an NPC named The Collector standing before an unpowered bridge. When speaking with him, he asks for a vial of your DNA to extend the bridge:
- Return to your base and brew the DNA potion following the Shrink Ray method.
- Carry your username potion back through the cavern to The Collector.
- Interact with him and select "Will this potion help?"
- The Collector accepts your DNA, activating the bridge across the chasm.
4. Choose Between Witches and Wizards
Cross the newly formed bridge to meet the towering Guardian NPC. Speak with him to listen to the dialogue between Glinda and Oz. At the conclusion of the conversation, you must choose to align with either the witches or the wizards. Choosing either side completes the quest and rewards you with the permanent Boxing Glove ingredient on your table.
Other Uses for the DNA Potion
The DNA potion serves several other purposes across the map:
- Goblin Village Quest: When unlocking the Frog ingredient, the goblin leader requires you to satisfy each tribe member. The goblin kid (or the fat goblin in various dialogue paths) asks for a potion made from your player character. Handing over your DNA potion satisfies this request.
- Player Transformations: Feeding your DNA potion to other players will turn them into you.
- Cloning Potions: Combining your player DNA ingredient with items such as the Magic Seed allows you to spawn clones of yourself when thrown at other players.
Troubleshooting the Cauldron Skin Glitch
Players utilizing custom cosmetic cauldron skins—such as the trophy, teacup, frozen, or trash can skins purchasable in the shop—have encountered a glitch where shrinking into the pot fails to register the avatar as an ingredient.
If your character dies inside the pot but your username does not appear in the brewing book:
- Open the cosmetic shop menu and remove the active cauldron skin to revert to the default cauldron.
- If the ingredient still fails to register, exit the experience and join a fresh server.
- Ensure you drain the pot completely before consuming the Shrink Ray potion, as residual ingredients can cause recipe conflicts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the DNA potion using three Fairies instead of a Chameleon?
Drinking a tiny potion made with three Fairies will shrink your character, but using the designated Shrink Ray recipe (one Fairy and one Chameleon) directly triggers the death and cauldron collection mechanic needed to list your username in the brewing book.
Does it matter whether I pick Witches or Wizards after giving the DNA potion?
No. The Guardian awards the Boxing Glove ingredient regardless of whether you choose the witches or the wizards team. You can also alter your team allegiance later during faction events.
Do I lose the Boxing Glove if I die after handing over the DNA potion?
No. Once you speak to the Guardian and complete the dialogue, the Boxing Glove is permanently unlocked on your brewing table and remains there across play sessions.
Where is the secret cavern located?
The cavern entrance is positioned to the left of the volcano entrance, behind the hedge marked with the sign that warns players not to pour hot potions on it.
