I loved how the game was like "ugh you need to rescue these beasts because the poachers are using them for their fur" and then your next objective is to lock them up in the room of requirement and start using them for their fur :'D

[@CommonlyKnowledgeable]

They're not "Locked up". They're literally in their own world's. Literally

For those just now starting the game: If you use Revelio, the bell sound you hear is a Revelio Page nearby. The sound will get louder when you are close and quieter when further away. It also makes the sound by room.

Oh thank you! I thought it's for the chests but when I checked they're already open so I ignore it.

[@teeds88]

The bell's actually for both the chests and field guide pages

[@LuLuRevenge6]

​@teeds88 Not sure yet if it's for the chests, but if anything it's for the collectibles that show up on the map. However, the bell sound does go through walls as well, I've had a page a story lower from exactly where I was standing, so there's that.

[@marioburgio3800]

For potion brewing, crafting Wiggenwelds becomes irrelevant by the mid-game when enemies drop them left and right.

[@lucasknevitz]

true, I never did a Wiggenwelds potion on this game and it's pretty easy to always stay with 25 potions

I've had 25 of them in my inventory for most of the game and I barely even use any except for boss fights.

Also I’d just get the rank 2 potion skill point instead of getting the rank 3 potion skill point, by mid game you won’t need that third one and you’ll probably strong enough to survive most hits.

I'm playing through it now and when I got to the part where I could "Rescue" animals I howled with laughter. like "Ah yes, this creature at peace in its natural habitat. Let me just capture it and put it in a pen where it can't get out from or sell it to someone else" "We're helping you, do not resist."

[@DconStarstormGaming]

And the fact when you put them in a pen, you use them for your own personal gain too. lol Though I guess that is what humans do irl as well.

[@hassathunter2464]

Yeah it made much more sense if you just saved all the beasts from poachers... not steal them out of their den.

[@PeterParker-ff7ub]

it is not being hunted

[@CommonlyKnowledgeable]

Ah yes, the creature at peace in it's habitat, THATS BEING POACHED BY ACTUAL POACHERS. so therefore, THE SPOT IS NO GOOD. How would you feel if someone came into your home and attacked you and threw you in a cage ? How would you feel if someone heard about what happened at your home and came to your home to protect you or take you away to somewhere else from the evil people coming after you? Exactly. Case closed.

[@CommonlyKnowledgeable]

Funny little thing about reality is that how you see it, is literally who you are as a person. You obviously see things in a bad way, so you probably tend to think more negative about most stuff than positive. Just a little astute observation.

the dark arts skill tree is so good. I have it so that expeliarmus and flippendo both curse the enemy they’re casted on and then the curse lasts longer than normal plus the enemy with imperio cast on them also curse any enemies whenever they hit them. Then, you get the perk so avada kedavra kills every cursed enemy in addition to who it’s cast on and boom. can wipe out a whole room in seconds, even if it’s three trolls

Honestly you really just need Crucio and Avada Kedavra perk and you can basically clear out a whole camp

Its way OP, good that avada came late in the game, i mostly just used crucio, removed expeliarmus and used just fire, 2 yellow ones and 2 purple ones. Imperio is funny to use stealthy and watch them fighting :)

[@danielhill1677]

One of the things that the Devs said in the livestreams before the game was out is that there is a lot of things about the castle and in the game that they want you to figure out and discover on your own. Sure, that isn't applicable to the wait in the map button, but it does apply to the Arithmancy doors since there is a paper that tells you how to do them but isn't a guaranteed discovery.

[@thomasfevre9515]

I cracked the code for the doors on my second try. I first assumed the symbole were ordered 1 to 10, then when the required symbol wasn't showing up in the selection, i guessed reversed order, then 0 to 9. From there, each door becomes trivial.

[@booodka]

​@@thomasfevre9515yeah, I figured it started at 1 as well, but eventually looked at it and figured 2 horns, 8 legs, nothing unique about 0 so it starts at 0... Then I found the paper running around getting all those little things done lol

The freeze spell makes catching beasts even easier. Freeze then use the bag.

[@Mistah47]

TIP: Don’t open any chests if your gear slots are full. Since when you come back to that chest, it’ll remain at the level you tried to open it at. Whenever you pick up a new piece of gear, it’ll let you use that style, even if you sell it or dispose of it. So always sell gear that you can’t/won’t use. Green, blue, and below those in value. To upgrade your slots outright, complete Merlin’s trials.

[@TheGeorgeee13]

Good right tip although hard to tell because some chests have money

[@ASimpleInternetUser]

I was pretty regularly travelling back to Hogsmead to sell my extra gear, only occasionally needing to destroy a few green gear items to open chests. I'm not coming back, so I gotta get it right then. 😂

[@adamleblanc4757]

Main point is, if you don’t open and open it at later level, higher level gear. Ie: “Equipment drops scale with level”

[@thekings_hand]

Or you could just find another chests and not sweat it. The best loot is purchased in Hogsmead anyway... I have over 80 hours in this game and 3 characters and all the gear i have with 110 defense or offense was purchased not earned.

I feel like horklump juice is pretty readily available near water usually where you find leech juice. I haven't had to go to one particular cave to load up on it. In the beginning was having issues catching threstals for breeding till I realized you could use glacius on beasts. Imperio is great to use on trolls and mongrels accompanying enemies to clear an area with ease. Also the lower you are to water or the ground you have unlimited broom speed.

[@Jimmyjong93]

For the clock tower secret, you can also use Glacius, it gives you a bit longer to run up and down the stairs to get to the doors. Also I leveled up super quickly right from the get go by collecting Revelio pages, I just wanted to explore Hogwarts lol.

So there is one aspect about this game i am so so happy about. Story mode...... Im slower than i used to be and i had a heck of a time surviving long enough to even get to hogwarts on normal mode. I might be about to turn 40 but i have waited decades to get my letter, it would have been so heartbreaking if i was locked out of all the fun because im not as fast mentally as i used to be (age, pain and medication have slowed me much younger than it should have) It also means all the little kids playing are going to be able to enjoy the game without the challenge that would have stopped them as well as myself.

[@JeighNeither]

I'm disabled, have multiple physical, emotional, & cognitive disabilities, & didn't start gaming until I was 45. My neuro prescribed me gaming for short-term amnesia I developed after an adverse reaction to a medication. Nothing appealed to me at first (although I did manage to finish Bioshock Infinite) & then one day I saw a video of Fortnite & although I wasn't into guns or shooters (I guess Bioshock was a sign now that I think of it) I had to play it. As you can imagine, I was terrible, but I have a ridiculously competitive spirit & that drove me, & my memory in ways nothing else could. I actually got pretty good at Fortnite & Destiny 2, but only after at least a thousand hours between the two, over nearly 5 years. If you don't have the competitive drive, or the hours to dedicate, you won't have the same results; we all have different strengths anyway, but from someone who couldn't remember to switch to other weapons in a fight for the first two years I played, I guarantee you, that you're more capable than you think, & even w/cognitive issues, you can improve your situation. It's hard when were conditioned to think a certain way about age, & then experience that decline ourselves in person, to change our mindset, but it's our mindset that holds us back most often. I'm not trying to get all Yoda on you, I just wanted to share my experience & it's possibilities.

Honestly I really like it that there is so much to discover and you don't get an explanation fom the game, because it is so much more fun to discover things. I am definitely an explorer and like finding side missions for myself. I made some decisions to advance in my game such as revelaing all the demiguise locations, going on a beast hunt so I can upgreat my gear. And omg I am so easily distracted with all the things to do...

[@revwolfe]

Note that there is a paper you can pick up out of a chest outside the arithmancy (sp) classroom that literally shows the symbols with their assigned numbers next to them, for the math puzzle doors. The classroom is on top of the stairwell with the painting you walk into on your first treasure map side quest. The chest is by a chalk board that has a math triangle partially erased.

I was so surprised that very few people have seen this. i guess everyone is too busy sprinting through the game... good on ya for having a keen eye and being thorough.

I'm pretty sure most people solved their first few of those arithmancy puzzles without that paper cuz you can either just brute force them or notice the symbols are in order. But yea, the paper helps if you can't figure out the puzzle

[@milosstojanovic4623]

Strangely but in that particular area i did not need to go like at all. I just stumble upon it because i was searching last of the guide pages in that section. But before that i solved almost all if not all arithmetic doors. The only logic i was using is that its not the same symbol if that symbol is already presented in circle. It did not take actually much time to spin symbols and try them until combination is right, even though i figure it out that they must be in order as they are etched in door frame, but was so lazy to find the logic behind them xDD

if you play the game and don't understand what Merlin trials do then you are deaf, blind, and dumb... these are supposed to be hints that the game DOESN'T tell you about. the only way you ignore this is if for what ever reason you don't click on the "!" exclamation mark on the "Challanges" icon, which it's very well understood you get rewards from that page. it explicitly tells you that from the beginning. so again, you'd have to be a moron to need advice for this mechanic. that person should be flogged.

There is one thing that isnt mentioned. You dont actually get exp from killing mobs. You get exp from progressing challenges, hence when you reach the point where the enemy kills has been maxed along with battle feats, you will no longer get any exp from battle arenas.

[@matts4378]

Yes I'm glad you said that. I was trying to grind the challenges to get to level 40, and it took long to realize I wasn't getting any exp. The only way to max out the level is to 100% all the challenges including completing all the main/side quests

You can actually land your broom on to that starway leading out from the headmaster's office. So you technically can gain access to both locations if you rush the moonstone gathering to get the level three unlocking spell. It's a bit finicky to land your broom, but just look for the crease in the wall where the tower wall meets the vertical flush wall. It seems to be no bracade there to stop you from gaining access; however, you do gotta force it a bit. Now time for it to get pached out... sorry guys.

[@slumpywumpy4166]

The main thing I’d say is pay attention to the wording in Duel Feats. If it says “Flip” you use Flipendo. If it says “Slam” you use Descendo. Transforming Animagus back into their human form is done by using Transfiguration etc etc. Another tip is that the Unforgivables aren’t actually that good. In order to make them useful, you need both of the perks for Crucio and Avada Kedavra, and then have use a boss to curse every other enemy around you. You’re much better off using the setup spells ie Yellow and Purple colour coded spells, and then either Bombarda or Diffindo. Either go both Bombarda and Diffindo or one or the other. Final tip would be to find the Level 3 versions of the traits you want immediately after unlocking the nab-sack. There is a Kneazle den east of South Hogwarts Valley, and you can use them to put Level 3 traits on your gear immediately. Once you clear a bandit camp, just save and reload opening the chest to get the trait you want.

[@joshc5309]

Glacio/Diffindio will damn near one-shot anything and devastates tougher enemies, even bosses *if* they are off balance. Can't lean on that, though, as both spells have meaty cooldowns.

[@slumpywumpy4166]

@@joshc5309 Glacius and any damage spell realistically has that effect tbh. I only prefer Bombarda because of the AoE. I’ve found that slowing enemies gives you a lot of time to reposition and recover same as Glacius. One thing I’ve found though is that against enemies weak to fire, like Inferi and Spiders, Incendio is typically way more damage than Confringo, especially if you’ve got both upgraded.

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

The Unforgivables are way stronger than you're giving credit. Crucio comes off cool down frequently enough that it's a monster of a move on its own. When spec'd into Dark Arts, there's nothing else in the game as potent except for being able to stealth around and Petrify everyone. And that's broken from a completely different angle, not combat. The setup and control spells are nice, especially when specialized in Dark Arts as Expelliarmus, Arresto Momemtum and Flipendo all also Curse your targets. Bombarda, Diffindo and Confringo aren't doing anywhere near as much damage as Unforgivables. Talented into Crucio the curses just keep spreading. Imperious Curse can handle Trolls and Acromantula's alike! They fight for you! Not to mention the fun little bug where you spread Curse with Crucio and then Transfigure any of your cursed targets and then all your cursed targets just immediately die. Thats 2 Avada Kedavra effects in the game and you dont even have to Talent Transfiguration to achieve that. That's kind of the point of the talent system, though. It makes whatever path you choose to go down potent. Tack on adding Traits like Unforgivable III to your gear and you typically don't even need Protego. You just merc everything before you have to worry about deflecting a spell. All this to say: your assessment is wildly misplaced and sounds like it's coming from a place of fanboi bias.
