Getafix

Getafix (French: Panoramix) is the druid of the Gaulish village. He brews the magic potion which gives people super-strength, and thus it allows the villagers to defend themselves and attack Roman camps. Asterix is commonly seen drinking the potion and this is used as a game mechanic. Obelix is not allowed to drink it since he fell into a cauldron full of it as a child, and drinking more can have dangerous consequences.

## Obelix

Getafix occasionally swaps with Obelix. He automatically drops a gourd of magic potion (red dot), which the player should try to catch to become invincible and gain the ability to instantly kill blue and red Romans.

## Asterix und Obelix Die Odyssee

Getafix needs rock oil for the magic potion. The player travels to Mesopotamia and must get it to complete the game. However, the druid manages to replace it with beetroot juice, while the heroes end up losing the rock oil on the way back home.

## Getafix CC

Getafix guides the player(s) through the journey and comments on their progress.

In multiplayer, he may randomly offer the players to do a simple real-life action to decide who gets a bit of money or goes to prison.

## Getafix GW

Getafix makes the magic potion which the player needs to deliver to other provinces in order to free and defend them from the Romans. He also needs several ingredients which the player can find in certain provinces. He appears in the cinematic cutscenes but does not have in-game appearance besides a portrait.

## Getafix XXL

Getafix is first seen in the cutscene before start of gameplay, in the process of making the magic potion.

In the end of Gaul, the player finds Getafix caged and frees him. He explains to Asterix and Obelix that he almost finished the potion when Caesar and his army arrived to the village, fought the residents and captured them. He tells that Caesar sent the other villagers to different parts of the Roman Empire and broke his Great Map, made of marble, into several pieces, and that all the villagers, including him, took a piece. He gives Asterix and Obelix the piece which leads them to Normandy.

## Getafix MLV

Larry Craft, disguised as Getafix, tricks three druids into being captured by the Romans and goes with them. Sam Shieffer watches these events and delivers the news to Asterix, Obelix and Vitalstatistix, and accuses Getafix of becoming a traitor (which Asterix does not believe). Meanwhile, the real Getafix has also been captured by the Romans and trapped in SeizeUs Palace, and to free him the player needs to win the final boss battle.

During gameplay, the player sees Larry Craft disguised as Getafix multiple times, but never the real Getafix. Getafix appears only in the cinematic cutscene after the final boss battle.

## Getafix OG

Getafix has the appearance of a comic drawing on a piece of paper for the entire game. This is due to Doctormabus messing with parallel worlds. Getafix knows what parallel worlds are and explains that messing with them could be dangerous.

Getafix is one of the unlockable characters in the Olympic Mode, he is unlocked by freeing 35 pigeons.

## Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir

Getafix learns that his friend, Avina Gandir, has been captured by the Romans, and suggests that Asterix and Obelix will find her with the help of the Crystal Menhir. He shows the Menhir to them and tells about its origin and powers. It was given to him by Avina, who thought it would be safer to keep the Menhir in the Gaulish village than in Thule. He wants to go on a journey with Asterix and Obelix to save her, but is stopped by Vitalstatistix, and so he stays in the village.

When Asterix and Obelix return to the village with Avina after the long journey, Cacofonix tells them that Getafix has been frozen and his stocks of magic potion were destroyed. While the Gaulish duo confronts Marcus Ginantonicus one last time, Getafix is unfrozen by Avina off-screen. In the ending he receives a gift from her: an unusual sickle, which appears to be made of stone.

## Trivia

* XXL 2 does not explain when and how Getafix was captured.
* XXL 3:
	+ At the start of the tutorial, the Gauls mention Getafix falling from a tree and being hit by a menhir. These are references to the animated film Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion and the comic Asterix and the Big Fight respectively.
	+ The game may be taking place after The Secret of the Magic Potion, because Vitalstatistix says that the druid cannot go on another adventure, which is what Getafix did in the film.
	+ Getafix may have feelings for Avina, judging by the way he speaks about her and talks to her.
