Getafix

Getafix is a character from the original Asterix comics. In Asterix & Friends, you will encounter him brewing his magic potion in Egypt.

He will brew a potion for you that can either give Pointandclix invulnerability for 3 fights (like with Asterix and Obelix in the few times these characters will fight for you) or will give you a single use boost toward your workers with a potential of 1000% productivity toward the palace for 1 hour. So long as you keep the crocs gone, the workers happy, and fill the palace with resources, you can achieve the 1000% and get about 50,000 points toward your palace done very quickly. Even if you do not do all these things, you will have at least 900% activity toward the palace (assuming you have happy workers) for that hour and still get a lot done. f you b

## What is the magic potion?

This potion is very useful but very difficult to complete. It takes six different items of usually 1-4 each (***and is different every time you use it***) to craft the potion and 12 hours to actually craft it. Then, once the potion has finished, Getafix needs to take a 5 day break before you can craft another potion. Use his potion wisely!

As this apparently needs to be repeated: The magic potion requires DIFFERENT items (for a total of 6 unique items) in the amounts of up to 4 (maybe 5) of those items EVERY time the potion is crafted. If he asks for bunnies and coal 5 days ago, he might not ask for bunnies for the next 6 months but might ask for coal every time for the next 20 days. It is random.

## The best strategy to using Getafix's potion for building the palace

Make his potion (reminder: 12 hour craft time). Once the potion is ready, fill your resources in the palace to the max (30 each). Clear all the crocodiles. Make sure all of your workers are happy and working. Use his potion for the 1 hour duration toward worker productivity. He will now have a 5 day cool down before you can repeat this. Do this as many times as necessary until your palace is finally built. If you can keep the workers working at 1000%, each use of the potion should gain you about 50,000 or so production points. Using the potion should get your palace built within 3–4 weeks, depending on how often you check on your workers.

## The best strategy to using Getafix's potion for repairing the palace

As soon as your palace has completed, make Getafix's potion. At the very least, it needs to be made within the first week of finishing your palace. But crafting it as soon as the palace completes helps ensure you won't forget. When it is made, the potion container will hover over Getafix's cauldron. DO NOT USE IT YET. Even though the potion is hovering there, the 5 day cool down has already started.

When your palace needs repair, fill your resources to the max, clear the crocodiles, and then make sure all your workers are happy and working. Your productivity % should be at 100%. Use the potion then for the 1 hour duration toward worker productivity to get 1000% productivity. Start making the next potion directly after using it. Unlike using the potion to build the palace, since you made this potion at least within the first week of your palace being complete (right?!), you don't have to wait for the cool down since it has already finished.

Keep watch on your productivity % as you might have a worker get lazy, a croc may spawn, or your resources may be consumed. Fix these issues as they appear *immediately*.

This method, when used in the manner described, will get you at least 100,000 of the needed 120,000 productivity points in 13 hours (1 hour with the potion simultaneously with the 12 hours while the potion crafts, and then another 1 hour with the potion). In the 12 hours while you wait for the potion to craft, if you keep your workers happy, crocs gone, and the resources full, it is entirely possible to complete the repair by the end of the 2nd potion. At the very least, you can get the entire repair finished in less than 24 hours.
