During Jafar’s level four friendship quest, you’re tasked with brewing a few special items in Disney Dreamlight Valley. These are fairly tricky concoctions to make, with Essence of Will being one of the tougher ones to cook.

If you don’t feel like mixing and matching between all of the different possibilities to find the right combination, it can be helpful to know exactly which ingredients you need to make this essence right away. Here’s how to make the Essence of Will in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To make Essence of Will in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you need three key potions:

  • Essence of Desire
  • Essence of Patience
  • Essence of Determination

All three essences can be grabbed from the table by the cooking station in Jafar’s Laboratory. Once you have all three in your inventory, head over to the cooking station, which is actually Jafar’s Alchemy Table, and interact with it to get to work on this recipe.

You can brew the Essence of Will just like you would any regular cooking dish, so toss in the Essence of Desire, the Essence of Patience, and the Essence of Determination to make the Essence of Will you need. Brewing this essence can be tricky until you know the right ingredients, but it’s certainly not as tough as finding the right resources to feed Jafar’s bird.

After making this essence, you still need to brew both Essence of Wonder and Essence of Wishes for Jafar before you can progress. Once you do manage to get all three essences for him, finishing the rest of The Alchemical Revolution is fairly easy since finding the right ingredients for each essence is by far the trickiest part of this quest.

If you don’t know what to do next after you’re done helping Jafar, it’s worth working on making the Mysterious Cajun Recipe next. This is another tough concoction to create, but cooking it is essential if you want to unlock Tiana and complete A Taste for Literature.
