Not sure how players are setting the map on fire or reviving an army of zombie minions in Dead Rails? Well, it’s all thanks to the game’s potion crafting system. With just a few puddles of rare liquids (and a little unicorn blood), you can brew some seriously overpowered concoctions.
Here’s exactly how to craft every potion in Dead Rails—and why you’ll want to start collecting glass bottles ASAP.
How To Craft Potions In Dead Rails | Roblox
There are exactly four potions you can craft in Dead Rails right now: Angel Tears, Devil Tears, Holy Water, and Primordial Soup. To craft them, you simply need to mix specific liquids together (e.g., water, milk, blood, kerosene, zombie blood, and unicorn blood).
While it does not offer any special healing or speed buffs, Unicorn blood is the key ingredient for making potions in Dead Rails. You can extract it from the rain (0.5% chance), dead or injured unicorns (1% spawn rate), or by striking puddles of liquids with lightning.

Other liquid ingredients will also spawn through rain (0.5% chance); however, they can also be extracted from dead or injured NPCs. After you’ve collected the required ingredients, mix them on the ground or combine them in Glass Bottles (these spawn randomly and contain liquids).
You must be quick to collect the potions once they’re crafted, as they are quite volatile and will begin to evaporate after they’re exposed to air. You don’t need to use a full bottle to get a potion’s effect—most mixtures work perfectly fine with just a small amount.
All Potion Recipes In Dead Rails | Roblox
This table details all the potion recipes in Dead Rails, as well as their effects. To use a potion, you can either pour it onto your avatar or form a puddle on the ground and stand in it.
Potion | Recipe | Effect |
---|---|---|
Angel Tears | Unicorn Blood + Blood | Angel Tears will heal all injuries, pretty much instantly. |
Devil Tears | Unicorn Blood + Kerosene | Upon being ignited, it will quickly consume the entire area in flames. |
Holy Water | Unicorn Blood + Water | Will quickly kill all enemies with green flames (allied players are immune). |
Primordial Soup | Unicorn Blood + Milk | Corpses soaked in Primordial Soup will become reanimated and fight for the player faction (like the Jade Mask). |
Note: To get Unicorn Blood in Dead Rails, pour the other liquids onto a Lightning Rod. After that, throw Holy Water or use the Electrocutioner on the puddle of water.
That’s everything to know about potions in Dead Rails. The developers will likely add more concoctions in the future. In the meantime, please browse our Roblox section for more awesome guides.
