Hogwarts Legacy: 10 MISTAKES YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE

[@frontlinewitness]

Honestly I’m older and haven’t had this much fun and spent this much time in a game since Skyrim. I pre ordered and have had the game a few days and already played 44hours, and not even that far in the story. Just so much content, side quests, flying around loving the scenery, exploring the grounds and castle, battling poachers, spiders, wolves and more, spending time with my creatures brushing and feeding them, gear upgrades, making potions and herbs, decorating my room of requirement, it’s amazing

[@darkpyro2k10]

I am 19 hours in to this game and i am already 1/2 way done with it lol

[@7kortos7]

bro me too!! i just plug in a controller and RP walk everywhere. the game looks so gorgeous and i'm only on med settings. also not that anyone asked but i have Ray Tracing turned off and i still get great reflections and awesome lighting. (i only do this so i can play 100+fps.)

[@gurglequeen433]

I love all the little references. Like the Portrait of Wizard Baruffio, he said S instead of F and ended up on the floor with a buffalo on his chest. That was brought up once, one time by Flitwick in the first book and it's never mentioned again but this game added it to the lore.

[@bransonshumway290]

The way to get into the Divination classroom by climbing up a later is also from the books, while in the movies, it's just up a set of stairs.

[@memo90frost]

I've been bombarded with "10 things I wished I knew" videos, and the absolute best tip for me was to not bother with exploration and sidequests, and to focus on your main quests until you progress to fall/autumn. It felt like I was playing a demo until I unlocked the broom, talent tree, room of requirement and alohomora (unlocking spell).

[@thatonetemplar]

The game definitely takes a little too long to give you all your tools

[@Jeremy-bt8lo]

Yup definitely it’s spaced out to the point where it prevents me from exploring every single spot, just made it to the autumn, so I’m excited to get the unlocking skills so then I could explore the rest of the castle and etc!

[@drblitz3092]

@@thatonetemplar ya, felt like a tutorial the first 10 hours

[@RikuFemma]

Unlocking Talents at level 21 was certainly something. Also spending your skill points wisely is worthy to mention since there's no way to respec and you won't be able to get every skill on one character. Let's just say I made quite a few bad decisions when I got 16 talent points and didn't think that much about how I should spend them...

[@ohffsreally]

Agree. I was already level 11 when I realized I still hadn't unlocked the Talent tab (which made slotting new spells really annoying). I think it's so easy to get distracted because every time you meet a new character on your way to fulfill a main quest, it switches to THAT side quest without you even realizing it. Every time I'm done talking to a character, I'm now going back in to check whether I'm still following the main quest, at least until I unlocked all the basic stuff. Maybe there's an easier way to do this, let me know :D

[@parikshitthakur5465]

Man the forbidden forest is actually eerie! They managed the nail the feeling of being in the forbidden forest at night! Loving this game so far

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

Not sure on how you can say “actually eerie” as the Harry Potter ALWAYS had a dark and mature feeling to as as the characters age and aspects of the world darken and get more serious in serious situations! The Harry Potter world gets progressively darker and sinister as the horror of Harry Potter is actually beautifully adult and breathtaking on how maturely dark the series gets! Especially you say this more so in the movies which looks BEYOND incredible to see how progressfully darker the Wizarding World heat as the characters age up more and more to highlight the threat their facing and how serious the situation is becoming! Love how dark and serious the atmosphere of the world gets as the world of Harry Potter and even Hogwarts as the game presents that PERFECTLY so! Love the game so much!

There's actually more to the 'exploit the enemy's weakness with a spell' in combat usually. There's usually at least two possible steps, if not three. For example, the Dunbogs you mentioned with using _Leviosa_ on their tongues as they attack will leave them wide open, but you can actually use _Diffindo_ afterwards to cut their tongues and do huge damage. Another instance of this is an Ashwinder Executioner getting ready to do their huge fire pillar attack, use _Arresto Momentum_ to slow the Executioner, forcing them to cast the spell for *much longer* than they had intended, allowing you to toss other enemies into the fire pillar for huge damage with your control spells like _Accio_ or _Depulso._ One "Global" combo that works on most all enemies for big damage without needing to be a real 'counter' to them is simply using _Glacius_ and then immediately following up with _Diffindo._ If you're not into killing your opponents, you should probably not use any of these powerful combos, as even the _Glacius + Diffindo_ combo slices them into little pieces and shatters them if it was a fatal blow, which more often than not it will be. For trolls, there's a couple options: If they throw a rock at you, block it and then use ancient magic (RB/R1) to toss it back! Alternatively, when they do their 3 hit combo, on the third hit that you can block, instead use _Depulso_ to throw their club back into their face! (< this one you need to be fast for) There's tons of them in the game like this, and most of them are explained to us, the players, by way of Duelist Challenges shown on the bottom right of combats. It might literally tell you the full combo, or just a part of it to give you a hint on how you can do the full combo. *Bonus:* Enemies take fatal fall damage. If you have elevation, your favorite spell just might be _Accio,_ with no follow up to have them plummet to the ground for all their health as damage.

The special cloak that you get if you are in Ravenclaw after finding all of those flying keys is really cool. Just did that task today.

Idk why, but it feels like Ravenclaw is the canon choice for our protagonist. Also, we haven’t had a Ravenclaw protagonist yet in the Harry Potter Universe and this is coming from a Hufflepuff stan.

If theirs one thing I’d change it’d be turning a few spells into prompt’s instead of hot keys like repair or Levio and such. I find myself constantly having to change builds during main quests.

When you unlock talents there will be 3 skills in the core tree that will increase the amount of spells you can have equipped at any given time.

you can also get stuck if youre standing in the wrong spot when making bridges / stairs or things like it. i was watching a streamer in some ruin where he had to drag bones over to a specific spot to form a staircase but he was standing between the start/end points and was stuck inside of the stairs unable to do anything.

If you want money at the very begining of the game, cast revelio near the coastal castle, at gringotts and during the vault 12 trial, you will found many chests around who contain money. Also, if you want ro level up fast, do the moth puzzles, search for chest and do the arithmancy puzzles and then go to Hogsmeade to sell your gear to the vendors. Then you can also do the moths puzzles there or wait until you have the desilusion charm to go find the 500 galleons chests in Hogwarts and Hogsmead. Like that you can level up and have more money at the begining of the game. Hope it help ^^

[@miniwing]

10: Transmog 9: Ability unlocks have to be collected from the codex 8: Some Puzzles require pre-quests to unlock. 7: Sell gear, you'll need money. 6: On Map setting you can change day and night at will. 5: Assignments give new spells, do them early, but they are expensive so grow/craft you're own materials. 4: Gameplay/story spoiler regarding, talents and stealth. 3: Some doors are very well hidden or concealed body check everything. 2: Some spells have surprisingly unexpected combat benefits, the enemy codex gives you hints on what works. 1: Check all exclamation points in all menu sections always (3rd time this was mentioned) it can fix you being questless if you get stuck.

[@Penurtle07]

After a troll slams his club on the ground you can use flippendo to make it hit itself

[@EeyoreHeeHaw]

The dueling challenges that pop up will teach you how to do massive damage against some enemies. Example: Pick frog up with levioso and use the slashing spell. When a troll slams their club on the ground, dodge instead of parry then use the flipping spell. When the ashwinder/dark wizard executioner is charging their attack, disarm them and they'll explode.

[@Tommy-rf9sw]

For the forced stealth quests, I find that if you fail them enough about 3 times, that section of where you fail will have the npc be gone.

I don't mean to be contrarian but how so? This looks like just another RPG with colored loot. The menus look almost exactly the same as Valhalla down to even the font. Also, it looks like they downgraded the graphics. Maybe it is because I don't have any connection to the potter universe? I'm genuinely curious as to why this is being received so well. What's the X factor?

Holy crap, I had no idea about these more subtle secrets in Hogwarts. I felt quite disappointed when I thought that there were only these main puzzles such as the math or moth ones. But to actually observe the interior of Hogwarts more carefully with the X-ray vision only hinting that there's something more to the environment you're in, that is so awesome. Here's hoping that there's more to the common rooms than meets the eye as well... Also, knowing that there's more depth to these fights makes me want to play this game on hard difficulty and go at it in a more tactical way. Super helpful video, thank you!

So I’m pretty proud to say that, for the most part, this all came to me from instinct, so that’s cool. A pro tip for you gamers out there: for your gear, sell everything like he said, but if your slots are full and you wanna pick something up, destroy a green piece item (cheapest) worst case scenario, you pick up the same value item. As far as the unidentified items, same thing, but try to prioritize unidentified (you may get a new look)

[@kiriuxeosa8716]

You can get a good experience after just getting revelio and your 2 initial spells. Accio will help you reel in those flying pages and levioso can be used at certain statues to uncover their secrets. It is an obvious thing to realize but also easily forgotten. Through just general exploration and some trial and error I kept getting a bunch of experience and I only just finished my gathering quest in town and now that I got repairo I'm looking to see where I can use it. It feels alot like a metroidvania in which I keep getting new abilities and opening new paths

It would be nice if they implemented a custom appearance default that the user can set so that when they put on a bunch of new gear they can click/press a button and everything will look the way you want. I am constantly putting on newer better gear but then changing the appearance back to look the way I want on every individual piece. I would love to configure how I want to look once then just click a single button to apply that look to my new gear.

Best combo in the game: Cast crucio on anything, give i a few basic hits to spread the 'crused' status and then cast avada. All cursed targets will die. Even if you had like 10 cursed targets (green X) all 10 will die. Require two talent points.

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

Here’s one I didn’t realize, you pick body type/gender through the presets in the character maker, which is really dumb and confusing. I tried making a girl character but what I made was a boy with long hair and a girls voice who I guess identifies as a witch or something. Most rpgs I’ve played have a male/female body type selection, presets read to me like “randomly generated characters” not starting points for your own character.

There's so much to do in this game that takes you outside of the main quest. It's nice that the quests don't feel forced like you have to get onto this next quest. It does give you time to explore and investigate the world.
