You can choose the option to start a new game with a character and you'll keep everything in your inventory but in the new game everything on the ground will be lost and all the dungeon levels will be reset and randomized. The entrances to the catacombs, caves, hell will also be reset until you clear down to them.
So if you decide you want to start a new game, say to play NM in single player using this trick, you can keep the elixir in your inventory when you start a new game. Hopefully, you'll get the quest again in your NM game and once you finish the quest, consume both elixirs for a total of +6 all stats.
Ah now I understand. Looks like that's my solution.
And thanks for answering my other question Rykker. I still have to say though that I think the quest turned Adria into a parody. She's just so over-the-top in it.
Well you're thinking about it too much its just a fun quest that they added in with a pretty good reward.
Well, maybe I am. The forums have been pretty slow lately and there hasn't been much interesting discussion though so maybe I'm just trying to get people talking a bit. I love me some debate.
I totally understand where everyone is coming from when they say they appreciated some humour as a change from the usual dark and disturbing atmosphere of the game. But does no one feel that the humour in this quest kind of destroyed the credibility of Blizzard's characterization of Adria and thus wasn't very well done artistically speaking?
Weird ushually you want to drink it after you tlak to adria again and shes like "I GOT IT ALREADY YOU CAN HAVE IT." type of saying and then your like...wtf did I just do all this for? lol
Yeah, I know what you mean. I think I had to go do something though so that's why I left in such a haste.
While we're on the subject of this quest does anyone else think that this quest's dialogue was a bit of a faux pas on Blizzard North's part? I mean for me, it nearly destroyed Adria's dark mystique due to her descent into cartoonish witchydom through her dialogue.
She just seemed so over the top with her need to create a "special brew" and her erratically-pitched voice. Up until this quest she seemed mostly pretty calm and wise (with maybe the occasional burst of witchyness) but here she's just a walking, stereotypical caricature.
Judging by the main character's comments ("Now that... is a BIG mushroom"} and the townspeople's dialogues (Griswold, Ogden), this quest wasn't really meant to be taken seriously but for me it was maybe a bit too funny. I like some comic relief, but I didn't feel that Adria's character shift and Griswold's hyberboles made for a very credible quest. Just goes to show though that even Diablo had its flaws.
This is so upsetting. I just finished the Black Mushroom quest and got the Spectal Elixir. Unfortunately, I saved and quit my game before coming back on today. I didn't realize that doing this would render it impossible to drink the elixir. Is there any way I can drink it?

I guess it's impossible then. What a silly bug though. You think Blizzard would have patched it up by now. Ah well, no free stats for me.
