Minecraft: Taste of Your Own Medicine trophy guide

Hit a witch with a splash Poison potion. Status: Verified.

PS5 trophy details

• Grade: Silver. Set: Expansion Pack 4. No separately purchased DLC is implied by the catalogue's expansion-pack label.
• Missable: no story-ending lockout; the task can be repeated in an eligible Survival world. Eligibility can still be lost through settings.
• Difficulty: 3/10, Hizzle editorial estimate. Time: UNSURE. Hidden flag: UNSURE.
• Players: Solo route described; online play is not required by this method. Online required: no for the described route; local play can be used for the two-player tasks.
• Roadmap: mid phase of Minecraft PS5 Platinum trophy roadmap.

What to do

1. Use blaze powder to fuel a brewing stand. Brew Nether Wart into a water bottle to make an Awkward Potion, then add an ordinary spider eye for Poison.
2. Brew gunpowder into the Poison potion to make its splash version. Keep it separate from drinkable bottles.
3. Find a witch and line up a clear throw with space to retreat. Throw the splash Poison potion at the witch so the bottle breaks beside or on her.

Before you repeat it

The task is a Poison splash hit, not killing the witch. Avoid splashing yourself at close range. Do not follow old Weakness shortcuts or a ghast-tear/Mundane recipe; those are not the checked current Poison route.

Evidence and editions

Brew Poison from an Awkward Potion and spider eye, convert it with gunpowder, then throw the splash Poison potion at a witch. Both publishers describe the thrown Poison hit; the witch need not die. Latest stable Bedrock 26.60 notes were reviewed November 3, 2026. Verified means independent research agreement, not an in-game PS5 test. PS4 players should use this route only for a matching trophy in their own stack; see Minecraft PS5 vs PS4 trophy differences. Xbox points and Java advancement equivalence are not established by this PS5 record.
