In Roblox's Wacky Wizards (developed by Foryxe and Jandel), the standard fire potion is officially called the Hot Potion, created by placing a single Chilli into your cauldron. Players also use explosive fire variants like the Firework Potion (Pool Noodle + Dynamite) to complete daily developer scare challenges. The primary Hot Potion sets your avatar ablaze and serves as a mandatory quest item to light Glinda the Witch's cauldron and burn away vines blocking secret caves.
How to Brew the Hot Potion
Brewing the basic fire potion requires just one core ingredient:
- Teleport to your cauldron and click the drain button to clear any existing ingredients.
- Place 1x Chilli into the cauldron.
- Spawn the potion to receive the Hot Potion (Potion #12).
Drinking the Hot Potion immediately causes your character to catch fire. While on fire, your avatar runs around flailing, but you can also carry the potion directly to NPCs and environmental obstacles to trigger quest interactions.
How to Find the Chilli Ingredient
The Chilli is located beneath the desert biome. Look across the map from your cauldron toward the desert area identifiable by its sand and cacti:
- Head into the desert and look for a hole in the ground hidden behind a cactus near the railroad tracks and rock wall.
- Drop through the hole into the underground cavern.
- Complete the platforming parkour across the lava blocks toward the pedestal holding the Chilli. (Players struggling with movement speed during parkour often clear any active speed effects before attempting the jumps, or use a flight potion to bypass the obstacles).
- Click the Chilli to pick it up, teleport back to your cauldron, and drop it in to add it permanently to your ingredient table.
Quests Requiring a Fire Potion
The Hot Potion is required for several major questlines and secret unlocks across the overworld.
1. Helping Glinda the Witch (Witches Brew Quest)
To start Glinda's questline in the desert cave beyond the train tracks:
- Speak to Glinda inside the cave; she explains that she crashed her broom and needs a potion to light her cauldron fire.
- Return to your cauldron, brew a Hot Potion with 1x Chilli, and bring it back to her.
- Hand her the potion to heat the cauldron. Once delivered, Glinda asks for a Speedy Potion (Giraffe Hoof) followed by three randomly chosen ingredients (such as the Blue Frog, Cactus Cat, Jellyfish, Cave Bat, or Lava Flower) to award you the permanent Witches Brew ingredient (or 20 gems on repeat 24-hour completions).
2. Burning Cave Vines (Boxing Glove Quest)
To obtain the Boxing Glove ingredient, you must breach a cave located near the foot of the volcano:
- Locate the cave entrance marked by a "Do not pour hot potion" warning sign, covered in dense vines and leaves.
- Brew a Hot Potion using 1x Chilli at your cauldron.
- Walk up to the blocked entrance and interact with the vines to pour the potion over them. The foliage burns away, opening the tunnel to the Giant Key and The Collector's chamber.
3. Scaring Developers with Fire (Daily Challenge)
During daily developer scare missions, players are tasked with frightening Jandel and Foryxe using fire. While a regular Hot Potion can ignite your avatar, the community-verified solution that triggers the fear reaction reliably is the Firework Potion:
- Add 1x Pool Noodle and 1x Dynamite to your cauldron.
- Spawn the Firework Potion and carry it over to Jandel and Foryxe, who stand near the pink glowing ring on the map.
- Stand directly beside the developers and drink the potion. Your avatar transforms into a burning firework, causing both developer NPCs to shout in terror and completing the mission before your character detonates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I complete Glinda's quest more than once?
Yes. The first time you complete Glinda's multi-step ingredient quest, she rewards you with the permanent Witches Brew ingredient. After the update allowing repeat runs, players can complete the quest once every 24 hours to earn 20 gems instead.
Can I fly to get the Chilli inside the desert cave?
Yes. Flying potions such as the Swim Potion (Bird + Fish) or the Mermaid Potion (Fairy + Fish) can be used to bypass the lava jump puzzles inside the underground desert cave and reach the Chilli pedestal without failing.
What should I do if the Hot Potion does not open the Boxing Glove cave?
Ensure you brewed the potion using only 1x Chilli. Drain your cauldron completely before placing the ingredient, spawn the potion, and walk directly to the leaves blocking the cave near the volcano. Click or activate the potion while standing against the foliage to clear the path.
