The Witcher[]

"In preparation for an all-night vigil at the side of a cursed man, or before a battle which is certain to be prolonged, a witcher mixes a dose of Tawny Owl potion to boost his endurance."

Tawny Owl significantly increases Endurance regeneration; it is particularly valued by witchers who often use Signs in combat.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings[]

Journal entry[]

Tawny Owl speeds up the regeneration of Vigor. After consuming it, the witcher can parry monsters' blows and cast Signs more often. The potion is weaker than Lapwing, but generates no side effects. It can also be used to alleviate the side effects of Gadwall.
Potion moderately increases Toxicity when imbibed.
The potion is recommended for witchers who specialize in casting Signs and those who fight monsters that employ strong attacks which must be parried. Its low toxicity and virtual lack of side effects make it ideal for combining with other potions.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[]

Tawny Owl returns as a potion in the third game. Three of these can be crafted at any one time and placed in the consumables slot.

Geralt already has this potion at the start of Lilac and Gooseberries.

  • In a New Game + Geralt will get another copy of this potion upon arriving in White Orchard, if he has lost or upgraded the basic one. This effectively allows have two version, but it's not possible to upgrade the new basic copy unless the previously upgraded version is discarded first, as the alchemy crafting screen simply doesn't show lower-tier versions of already obtained items.
