| - Potions of youth are Potions that, when drunk, partly reverse any unnatural aging the player is experiencing, by about 15 (at least 12-18 range) years if blessed (with negligible dependance on race or current age).
- The Potion of Youth is a key item in Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland. It is a rare and difficult potion to make, and is needed to return Rorona back to her original age. Astrid comes to Arls in order to focus on recreating the potion for Rorona. It is key for the Finally, As Planned and Witch's Tea Party endings. The potion is also desperately sought out by Esty Dee, who wishes to regain her youth.
- The Potion of Youth is a Noble Phantasm that returns the user to their youth, stored in the Gate of Babylon. It is kept in a small, translucent bottle with a lustrous, beautifully-ornamented design made of an unknown material resembling china or crystal. It is the herb of immortality that Gilgamesh had sought after the death of Enkidu. Seeking immortality to avoid his own inevitable death, he sought out the sage, Utnapishtim, in Kigal, but learned that the sage's immortality was obtained from becoming a god. Utnapishtim was changed into a half-plant in this process. Rejecting it because it would remove his desires as a human, the sage instead told him of the root of an herb that grew in the deep of Kigal that was the true secret behind immortality without seeking the mercy of the gods.

| - The Potion of Youth is a Noble Phantasm that returns the user to their youth, stored in the Gate of Babylon. It is kept in a small, translucent bottle with a lustrous, beautifully-ornamented design made of an unknown material resembling china or crystal. It is the herb of immortality that Gilgamesh had sought after the death of Enkidu. Seeking immortality to avoid his own inevitable death, he sought out the sage, Utnapishtim, in Kigal, but learned that the sage's immortality was obtained from becoming a god. Utnapishtim was changed into a half-plant in this process. Rejecting it because it would remove his desires as a human, the sage instead told him of the root of an herb that grew in the deep of Kigal that was the true secret behind immortality without seeking the mercy of the gods. Gilgamesh found the herb and, for the first time in his life, felt joy and a sense of accomplishment. When he was taking a bath to return to Uruk in his majesty, however, this herb was eaten by a hungry snake. Having recognized the herb as lost, Gilgamesh eventually reached an epiphany that no longer required for him to seek immortality, since he realized that the essence of humanity lied within the discovery of joy and the subsequent loss of that joy. Since the potion worked to reverse the drinker to its youth instead of as an elixir of immortality, the snake and its descendants shed their skin in order to bring back their youth. As it was still a rare treasure that he had planned to obtain even before his desperate quest, he returned to the deep to keep it as an exotic wonder to decorate his vault. Drinking it returns him to the form of a child, drastically altering both his appearance and personality. It is used in cases where he would need it to tolerate and blend into the society around him, such as spending ten years in the modern world after the Fourth Holy Grail War. He can also use it in a case where he views something as a childish game like the False Holy Grail War, claiming that he would spend his time in leisure until an enemy worthy of his full strength appears. He keeps all of his memories, but he is disconnected from his child-self due to the vast differences between their personalities. Though his child-self knows of his later actions, he cannot comprehend his adult self's actions, and his adult self has little knowledge of his past. He has the ability to forcibly reverse the effects when facing an enemy he feels is worth fighting.
- The Potion of Youth is a key item in Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland. It is a rare and difficult potion to make, and is needed to return Rorona back to her original age. Astrid comes to Arls in order to focus on recreating the potion for Rorona. It is key for the Finally, As Planned and Witch's Tea Party endings. The potion is also desperately sought out by Esty Dee, who wishes to regain her youth. After 10/1 of Year 4, an event will take place where Astrid will ask Meruru to test the Potion of Youth that she's created. Panicking at the thought of becoming young again, Meruru accidentally breaks the vial with the potion inside. Being that it is the only potion that Astrid was able to make, she asks Meruru to recreate the Potion of Youth herself. The first step in recreating the Potion of Youth is to modify the already existing Elixir recipe. After doing a lot of research, Meruru will figure out a way to use ingredients to modify the original Elixir recipe. With a Drachen Elixir, Secret Remedy and Unicorn Horn, Meruru will be able to create her own modified elixir, the Merulixir. After creating the Merulixir, Meruru will learn find information about a sealed demon that holds the Abyssal Soul, a key item required to create the Potion of Youth. Meruru's task will be to defeat the demon at the Endless Corridor once it has been unlocked to retrieve the Abyssal Soul. After Meruru defeats the Twilight Maiden and finds the Abyssal Soul, she will be able to create the potion. Once it's been created, she will bring it to Astrid so that she can use the formula and reverse it, which will enable her to make Rorona the right age. Meruru wants to test her own potion however, so gathers Astrid, Totori, Pamela and Hanna at the tavern. While the girls argue over which one will drink the potion, Hagel comes in, overhearing the conversation. He offers to drink the potion, in hopes that it will help him with his hair loss problem. Ultimately, the effects of Meruru's potion is unknown. After Hagel tries the potion, he claims that the potion was successful and that he can feel his hair coming back. Meruru, however, is disappointed with the results. Esty will come looking for some of the potion some time later, disappointed that she didn't get to try any. In the "Finally, As Planned" ending, Astrid was able to use Meruru's formula to turn Rorona back to her rightful age again.
