[@sertec6071]

the symbols on the doors from left to right is 0-9. no need to take a pic of the "cheat sheet". just count from 0 to 9 from the left to the right of the door.

[@mcscorn]

yeah. I think the point of the cheat sheet is just to give clarity that the symbols start from 0-9 around the door

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

Ahhhhh that's why I couldn't figure it out lol I didn't include 0. I started counting with the number 1 like a normal person.

[@Estarossa300]

@@SwanyPlaysGames quite normal if the code is single digits

[@equious8413]

Ehhhh MVP.

[@Ottomojo]

@@SwanyPlaysGames Had the same with the 0. Scratched my head too many times thinking I sucked at math suddenly.

[@danlanch]

That last tip on clothing is unreal! I've been hoarding my gear as I was worried I'd lose the styles. Thank you!

[@sigma5210]

6:12 you don’t have to take a picture, above the door from left to right the symbols correspond to each of their numbers from 0-9

[@immia.9933]

also, if you look closely, the unicorn has one horn and = 1, the dragon has two horns = 2, the snake is three-headed = 3 and so on :p

[@MattDon91]

Great video dude! Just started a couple hours in and was worried id have to keep rearranging my spells lol so thanks for clearing that up!

[@daddyfatsack9510]

I feel like you’d be incredible at doing an Owen Wilson impression

[@Shotgun_Only]

I feel good about the puzzle doors. I figured it out by myself by finding the cheat sheet and solving the puzzles that way. It was such a cool thing to figure out

[@alexperry5148]

Then you didn't really figure it out yourself if you used the cheat sheet wtf 🤦🤦

[@occycat.]

​@@alexperry5148 yeh ikr it's easy to work out anyway

[@ogzekePSN]

@@alexperry5148lol right, as a die hard uncharted fan i'm pretty sure i coulda figured it out within 10 minutes without the sheet

[@nagyzoli]

@SwanyPlaysGames My 2 huge concerns are: the lockpicking mini game, it is extreamely complex and I like to open everything. Next I use mouse and keyboard and the controls seem rough. Till this date I have not seen a video on youtube that uses PC, only PS5

[@equious8413]

I've somehow managed to hit lvl 15 without my talents open yet, and without really leaving the castle. Lol

[@shawnzilla3]

I was literally lvl 19 because exploring lol

[@Starboiiiii]

These are actually some really useful tips! Thank you 😃

[@ScottlandTheWise]

Just a lowly pleb here waiting to play my standard preorder on Friday…can’t fuggin wait!

[@TLowJoe]

Thanks for the tips 👍🏾

[@MrJol420]

Thanks man. Good tips. Im 3 hours in and i feel like on good pace. Its a decent game even on ps4.

[@shanefarmer805]

Great video longtime subscriber!!!

[@justingriffin2360]

So I was right about the doors just wrong on the numbers themselves. I thought it 1-10 and I was going mad bc it wasn’t adding up

[@LordRain1031]

I've watched a several different videos while waiting to get my PS4 copy. And most, if not all, say the same thing. You are constantly getting better gear so don't get attached to anything. As for the "chest save/reload" option, don't waste your time unless it's a "VERY special chest." Chances are you will be looking for a specific piece of gear and then it will be outdated (even IF it's legendary) by a newer piece of gear with in a couple levels. This is just what I've heard. I'm literally still at the beginning, have to go meet Nat at Boars Head hamlet. I've just been exploring, collecting field guide pages throughout Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Why? To get more money, XP and gear so I'm stronger than the "required level." For instance. The Nat quest I have I have to be lvl 4. I'm lvl 12. 🤷‍♂️😏😎

[@PaNDaSNiP3R]

Awesome tips I needed to hear

[@natedizz2507]

What kind of monitor would you use for Xbox series x?

[@ceuser3555]

Thank you!

[@haydenmccarthy4073]

Great video couldn’t help but hear lightning McQueen the whole time ahahaha

[@thekingsta2419]

Fun fact: I just noticed that you used subtitles in the video, nice man

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

Oh you liked that? This is the first time I tried it out. Took a tad bit longer to edit but if people like subtitles, I'll keep adding them.

[@thekingsta2419]

@@SwanyPlaysGames Yes! You should add it, I understand better with subtitles :)

[@whattheworldsneedswhatneed774]

Yup that's so true, exploring without a broom running all over the map, until I realized man I need a broom.🙄🤨, I went through everything u did.

[@Ildun]

1:39 "pretty much impossible" Me who explore on foot from north end to south end of map. Yup, I was wasting my time explore without broom and ability. This is one of the things in this game which I dislike. Even though the number is very few, there are puzzles which require transformation, where you can only get during very late of the game.

[@willisfitch9536]

This is thee exact description of the start of the game this guy nailed it on the head listen to em...an do those main quest...

[@Ace2014Ace]

The transmog system reminds me of DC heros online where any clothing item can be turned into a vanity item. Why doesn't every RPG do this. Seriously my 2077 character looks more like a low end male hooker than a bad ass because those clothes have by far the best stats.

[@blakehoffman6291]

2077 has transmog now lol

[@Ace2014Ace]

@@blakehoffman6291 really. Cool. Haven't played since the last few updates because the keep getting rid of the fun stuff in the name of balance.

[@Lago947]

My broom shop is bugged out and i cant open the shop menu.

[@ethanwilkes4678]

As a software engineer, the creatures around the ? Doors being indexed from 0 was the first thing I tried lol

[@PublicEnemydX]

Found our guy!

[@joshpeck9266]

I can’t believe I have to wait for Friday

[@pariveraco99]

Fuck that im walking and enjoying it. As soon as i could i explored everything!!!! So what if i have to go back*.To me is double the fun.

[@ceuser3555]

The random chest is crazy.

[@UltraP.k42]

Thanks for good info on hogwarts legacy in the videos for ps

[@NoxiismWasTaken]

The puzzle doors, also have the symbols around them from 0 to 9

[@thekingsta2419]

This game is just wow

[@DubZer0]

Helpful tips my guy, but at the end where you say delete the clothing noooo 😅 everyone should sell that clothing helps make more in game coin to buy upgrades and potions/plants

[@yourboykester4099]

The transmog system is genius

[@CpTn_QwRk]

I’m so glad they added this into the game :)

[@maxvinesjr4212]

Noted get my broom and abilities

[@ItsStonie]

So you mention deleting items. Is there not a way to sell them for some coin?

[@lilacsunshine3132]

You can and should sell them for coin but you have to visit the shops pretty often to do that. There aren't many gear slots so sometimes you have to just delete something so you can pick something better up.

[@eddytam9616]

Should we wait to open those legendary guaranteed chests? Till we're higher level - if so what level?

[@TheFlubert2]

The devs should tie appearances to the respective slot rather than individual items. I find that I have to keep changing appearances when I’m cycling through better armor early game

[@MrRaxicorniopholus]

I’m bout to order 5 deluxe copies 🥴

[@bulletgirl0076]

I am trying to win one; already lost 20 or something giveaways🥺💔

[@morningstar7401]

Just buy one ?

[@Lahotboy2024]

I'm stuck on jack dolls rest I believe the big spiders

[@thegoat4314]

Lol I get overwhelmed by side quests

[@Jollybean97]

You can sell the clothing at the vendors! And ugly gear can still be worn but made invisible!

[@kevinuribe318]

Some other people say to explore the entire school first then unlock each “door locks” whatever that is because apparently If you take long and wait it’ll be harder to unlock apparently? Is this true does anyone know?

[@lilacsunshine3132]

I think waiting until your a higher level to do the door puzzles is more about getting better gear drops in the chests behind the puzzle doors.

[@simonlong3368]

Nah. I'll go on foot to get some cardio in. Not really, but I'll go on foot mainly to fight whatever comes at me....like some spiders or wolves. The wolves helped me with the dodging so I could pass that assignment to learn Expelliarmus.

[@hanshotlast]

I’m loving this game so far! My only gripe is what is the basic spell? It’s red like stupefy, but he never says the incantation

[@brendanbelman893]

My head cannon is that it is stupefy and the counter version is a more powerful cast since you utter the incantation

[@xXNITR0MAN356Xx]

Are 5th years able to use spells without incantations tho??

[@hanshotlast]

@@xXNITR0MAN356Xx typically not

[@mainlyyogurt]

@@xXNITR0MAN356Xx no, but we also arent a normal 5th year. We have ancient magic as well

[@calcast6861]

I didn't even know Owen Wilson played video games... Cool.

[@rainydaygaming5507]

Your teacher, Professor Eleazar Fig, dies at the end of Hogwarts Legacy. This cannot be avoided or changed. Anne was cursed by Rookwood.

[@TobiasRieperGER]

For that door riddles... You don't need the paper. Down Left is 0. Up is 1,2,3 arround the door and 9 is down right. They all are math. Addition... Simple stuff....

[@Toxikologen]

The door with the symbols/number is super easy. You dont need a cheat sheet. You can tell which one is which. For example nr 5 since the creature have five legs, or two with 2 horns. Some creatures are however harder to associate with a number but this made me not needing a cheat sheet.

[@huggos12349]

It's 0-9 from left to right.

[@willisfitch9536]

You really can't do anything but walk around without the proper main quest tools I gotta admit I got a Lil nervous playing so much of the story but it's really not that bad after u get the things u need...

[@i_am_dusky113]

Gahhh no wonder I felt like I got missions when I read owl posts

[@zombislayerx8361]

Lmfao I just opened all the question mark doors by try and error like in under two mins each. I just could not be bothered by that crap lol

[@yueyuelii]

great video but I feel like a lot of these tips are just basic things that are very common for these types of open world story games like Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, etc.

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

That's why they are beginner tips lol

@@SwanyPlaysGames true, I enjoyed it nonetheless tho!
