How to Find and Use Compound V and Temp V

Locating Vials in Structures

Compound V and Temp V cannot be crafted through standard means and must be scavenged from dangerous structure chests. Search chests within ancient cities, Nether bastions, and End cities to uncover vials. Depending on what you loot, you will find either standard Compound V or Temp V, each serving a different duration need for your character.

Drinking the Vials

To consume a vial, place it in your main hand and drink it completely. Drinking either Compound V or Temp V immediately grants your character a passive enhancement that boosts your melee strength and reduces incoming damage from all attacks.

Alongside this baseline combat buff, drinking a vial triggers a random roll that awards you one specific superpower—or inflicts a negative drawback. Standard Compound V creates a lasting change that persists across your playthrough, while Temp V grants its benefits only as a temporary version. Because milk cannot be used to cure these effects, make sure you are prepared for whatever random power or consequence you roll before drinking.
