'''Note:'''
 
* This potion is used to unfocus a [[Skills|Skill]]. Bring it to [[Luca the Hunter|Luca]] and ask him to unfocus. You will then be able to focus on the same or on another [[Skills|Skill]].
 
* To be able to make a potion you must first ask [[Luca the Hunter|Luca]] to unfocus when you are not carrying a [[Grimace of Dementia]] in your inventory.
 
'''What To Do:'''
 
# Go to the north of [[Hurnscald]] and enter the mining camp. Inside, you will see [[Caul The Alchemist]].
# Ask him about the [[Grimace of Dementia]]. He will teach you how to make it.
# You will know but it is a balanced potion between Life and Death. Thus the need of Roots, Mauve Herbs and [[Lifestone|Lifestones]] for the Life side and Diseased Hearts, [[Bone|Bones]], Skulls and Undead Ears for the Death side.
# You will also need a [[Bone]], a Bottle of Water and a [[Lifestone]] in that order to start the potion and 1 Pearl to end it.
 
'''Crafting:'''
 
# First, [[Caul The Alchemist|Caul]] will take you your 3 items and will start the potion making. He will then tell you the color of the potion.
# As you can understand, this potion needs to be between Life and Death. The color indicates the state of the potion, '''calm grey''' is the needed color because it is the perfect balance.
# To get to this color, you will need to add some items in the potion.
## On one hand, if the color is bright, you will need to put dark, evil items such as [[Bone|Bones]], Skulls, etc... listed below.
## On another hand, if the color is dark, you will need to lighten it with good items such as Roots, etc... listed below.
# Every item added can make the potion '''explode'''. The closer potion comes to calm grey, the more unlikely is this.
 
This table shows the strength of each item. When it has a "+" in front of it, this means it adds Life, if it is a "-", it adds Death. You will need to get to '''0''' to get to the '''calm grey''' color. When you'll get there, put the '''Pearl''' in and you'll be '''done'''!

'''Hints:'''
 
* You can put in the Pearl at any time. The closer you are to calm grey, the lower is the probability of the potion to explode.
* [[Lifestone]]s are cheaper and easier to get than undead things. A simple trick is to start the potion, and if it starts black, add [[Lifestone]]s until it turns calm grey then add a Pearl. If it starts white, just cancel and try again. You won't need to use any Pearl in that case.
 
'''Reward:'''
 
* 1 [[Grimace of Dementia]]
 
'''Total Cost:'''
 
You will need at least these 3 items to start the potion.
* 1 [[Bone]]
* 1 [[Bottle of Water]]
* 1 [[Lifestone]]
 
You will need this item to end the potion when it will be calm grey.
* 1 [[Pearl]]
 
Each of these following items are used in a random amount.
* [[Root]]s
* [[Mauve Herb]]s
* [[Lifestone]]s
* [[Diseased Heart]]s
* [[Bone]]s
* [[Skull]]s
* [[Undead Ear]]s
