Where to find

• Crafted via Alchemy by combining Salts of Cloud Giant Fingernails (procured from  Cloud Giant Finger) and any Suspension
• Sold by any merchant who has the Elixir Table or Potion Table starting at level 9; as stock is generated semi-random, merchants may have anywhere from 0 to 2:
  •  Araj Oblodra on the main floor of Moonrise Towers and in a house north to Beehive General Goods in Lower City
  •  Baelen Bonecloak at Bonecloak's Apothecary in Lower City (if healed with the  Noblestalk during ⁠Find the Mushroom Picker)
  •  Derryth Bonecloak at Bonecloak's Apothecary in Lower City (if given the  Noblestalk during ⁠Find the Mushroom Picker)
  •  Entharl Danthelon at Danthelon's Dancing Axe in Wyrm's Crossing
  •  Helsik at Devil's Fee in Lower City
  •  Hoarding Merregon, the Merregon vendor who is part of  Yurgir's retinue in the Gauntlet of Shar
  •  Mattis at the Last Light Inn and outside of Requisitioned Barn in Rivington at X: 59 Y: -127
  •  Oliver Tefoco at Beehive General Goods in Lower City
  •  Popper the kobold at the Circus of the Last Days in Rivington
  •  Quartermaster Talli at Last Light Inn and on the main floor of Moonrise Towers
  •  Roah Moonglow at Moonrise Towers
  •  Stylin' Horst at The Velveteen Elixir, the floor above Danthelon's Dancing Axe in Wyrm's Crossing
  •  Traveller Griska on the ground floor of Fraygo's Flophouse in Wyrm's Crossing
• Found in the following locations:
  • Inside the sarcophagus belonging to  Zina at X: 1225 Y: 790 in the Durinbold Mausoleum
  • Next to  Koll at X: 235 Y: 45 in High Hall
  • Inside the display case in the Open Hand Temple Cellar at X: 8 Y: -1024 (has a 1 in 3 chance to contain one; the other options being a  Supreme Elixir of Arcane Cultivation or an  Elixir of Psychic Resistance)

Notes

• The earliest vendors to stock  Cloud Giant Fingers are  Blurg and  Derryth Bonecloak at the Myconid Colony in the Underdark, starting at level 6. Thus it is possible to craft this elixir while still in Act One.
• As the 27 Strength provided by this elixir lasts until long rest, it is arguably the most useful in the game for Strength-based party members. If the party have sufficient quantities of this elixir once it becomes available, characters can be respecced with 8 Strength and have ability score points and feats which would have been used to increase Strength allocated elsewhere. For example:
  • Stat points may be reallocated to Dexterity to increase AC and initiative or Constitution to increase HP.
  • An Ability Improvement feat used on Strength may instead be used on  Tavern Brawler, which massively benefits high-Strength characters that primarily use  Throw attacks or  Unarmed Strikes. Otherwise, characters might take broadly useful feats like  Alert or  Lucky.
