In fact, many of the best tier 3 traits are obtained this way. It seemed like you couldn't get them from these chests because it appears that the looted trait's rarity is tied to your character's level. At low levels it will be unlikely/impossible to loot a tier 3 trait from a collection chest. This is why many of us believed they could not be looted at first. Keep any eye out for my video on tips for getting the best traits! kzbin.infogaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u2705.png

A cool and somewhat useful little bit of info. You can mount your broom midair so if you fall off a high height and you're going to die you can quickly jump on your broom and save yourself

[@lucienschlut]

3 VERY IMPORTANT thing you didn't say about protego: 1 : Protego does not always lead to a stupefix. You need to parry an enemy spell AND keep pressed for roughly half a second after parrying a spell to cast stupefix. 2 : Perfect protego have another perk, the greatest in the game to be honest, it throw magic back to sender. Why is it the best perk? because enemies with red shield use only fire spells, yellow shield only conjuration etc... so succeeding a perfect protego mean destroying the enemy shield and an addiionnal effect. During the duel questline when people come as 4v1 with color shields, 2 perfect protego in a row mean 2 enemy incapacitated without casting a single spell. 3: The Protego and Stupefix talents is are very important to take early on. Protego talent send TWICE more missiles than you where supposed to receive, if a magician threw a levioso or accio on you, the perfect protego send back 2. Stupefix talent stun enemies for 150% of the duration. the original is roughly 5 seconds, the advanced is easily 7.5 sec. That 2.5 more seconds without worrying about an enemy, when fighting hordes of em stunning 2 long range missile casters can turn the tide so hard.

[@tickletoast]

@@lucienschlut Or dodge like a darksoul/elden vet and ignore protego altogether :) the I-Frame in the game is fairly wide* Most OP thing I've found so far is Accio with talent upgrade so it pulls in all enemies nearby - followed up by lvl III Incendio and Bombarda. Pew Pew! (Best part of that is the AOE, I've seen groups of up to 6 at a time*, after the pull in you follow up with an AOE push back - Bombarda)

[@dubleidd5228]

A tip for all the people trying to find more pages. The ones that are invisible (only show with revelio) make a little ding noise when you cast revelio and the closer you get the louder the noise is. (A few of my friends and me in the beginning thought when any kind of treasure gets revealed it makes that sound but it’s only the pages)

[@tim_nextvolleyball]

There's also a subtle audio cue when you walk close to one!

One huge tip I'd recommend that i wish I'd known sooner is to READ ENEMY DESCRIPTIONS. It'll tell you useful weaknesses for some obnoxious and powerful enemies. I learned a lot of them through duelist tasks (and a couple on accident), before realizing that they were all listed in the compendium thing.

[@paulstrife]

This is mentioned directly in the game with a tutorial of it

[@randomdude189]

Oh so like every other game?

[@dsadawrware]

the game spoonfeeds you this detail, stop mashing your buttons and start reading the text, the game tells you absolutely everything in its pop-up windows, people who are stupidly rushing to complete a game mash through pop-ups and dont even read that you will shoot a stupefy counter-spell if you hold block this game is great and its a shame to run through it as fast as possible, I see people on youtube with 100% complete already and the combat they show has them spamming R2 without actually taking any time to do spell combos, or switch between spell sets to use more than 4 spells in a combat, what a shame as its a very fun combat system with lots of fun combos and interesting counters, every dueling feat is very rewarding to land

[@officialbailey6029]

A tip that I love is collecting a bunch of mooncalves (because they're super easy to capture) for easy money and really utilizing the room of requirement. Get the conjuration spells for the hopping pots that give you potions, the tables that give random ingredients, seed packets, etc because it's basically just free supplies every time you walk in there and you're going to need them further along in the game. Also something I wish I didn't do was procrastinate on unlocking the upper level alohamora spells just because I don't like stealth missions...it got really annoying when I was trying to collect ancient magic and even go on side quests and had to abandon them halfway through cause I couldn't unlock a door. I didn't start watching any videos like this until after I got over 40 hours in the game because I wanted to learn to navigate it on my own first but there were a few things, like those random statues in the hall that I couldn't figure out! But now this gives me another excuse to run back around the castle and explore it again.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks for sharing these additional tips!

[@coopermassey9948]

I do this but it's because mooncalves are so friggin cutee

[@vovindequasahi]

This game is one of the best I've played. They have really hit it out of the park with this game, and the love and care they have for the Harry Potter universe is just amazing. Also beyond a bit of confusion regarding the map and inventory handling, I really LOVE the controller layout of this game! Once you start getting some muscle memory going and given that you plan your spell sets in a good way you'll feel in full control of what you're doing, which is no easy feat because the amount of combat systems in this game is pretty damn complex. The way they guide you to each particular system is so well done that you really feel like you are growing as a student of Hogwarts. Also even if you're not using the PC version and can't change the FOV they have this GREAT mechanic where you can see when you're targeted by enemies by the halo above your head and the ground around you, so even if you can't see an enemy attacking you from behind you will know if you're being targeted. Simple excellent in every way!

[@TheJustinShowAndCo]

FOV slider on PC is disturbingly disappointing too, by the way. Barely gives any extra view.

[@renemortensen5028]

Well.. yes. That and you go around and kill hundreds of people and you get to sell off baby beasts, because you dont have room. Its good stuff. Seriously though it is a good game. It suffers the same things as every other open world games. People are generic, and to keep the game fun, you have to have action. Therefore you kill enemies. But seriously. No student at Hogwarts would go around and do that shit.

[@Ruchunteur]

It was a very fun game indeed. The only thing that they did badly is that whatever your character does (or the choices you make) have no consequences what so ever on the story and how people act toward you. You kill hundreds of people. Dark mage sure, but still. You don't always just defend yourself. Your often is the one attacking first and they do die. And nobody cares. You open chest in people house in front of their eyes. And nobody care. The game ask you to chose between 2 or more pieces of dialogue but what you chose only change the piece of dialogue but no consequence on the actual story or quest you are about to take. No matter your choice everything is going to play out the same. You use forbidden spell IN FRONT of characters that don't like those ? They act as if you didn't use them at all but blame the other characters for doing so. You can ever wear the most ridiculous of mask or outfit in tense situations and everyone act as normal. The game keep telling you that the forbidden spell are awful and nobody should use them and all. That the killing curse is the worse. But by the time you unlock it, you already killed thousands with "regular spell" that are just as crazy (burn to death, split in half etc..) I wish our choices actually meant something. Even at the very end of the game when you are questioned on something that seem very important (I stay vague to avoid spoiler) what you say doesn't change a thing. What was the point of asking you if it didn't matter in the first place ? Who knows.. Other than that it was really nice. The ambiance is good, the combat is fun, the magic is satisfying to use. The main quest lines are interesting to follow. Good stuff.

I found out that accio will automatically become a wingardium leviosa if you cast it into objects that require the wingardium spell to complete a puzzle or any other helpful reason, that way you can avoid having to switch and hopefully save a spell slot.

I felt stuck and lost at the same time, and contemplated not playing any more for a while, but then you said to finish chapter one, and I immediatly loaded up the game and continued the main quest/task. I think I'm actually really close to finishing the first chapter, and am looking forward to explore this game in another way now. Really helpful video!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Awesome! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😁

[@anilalikevanilla]

This is so helpful! Omg thank you so much :)

[@patricecomedy]

That was really helpful thanks. I haven't even finished chapter 1 yet and I already feel like I'm knee deep in everything, but I only just got my broom!!

[@hederahelix4600]

So glad you are covering this game. I really love watching this channel grow. For now, I still want to explore by myself, so I'll just like and comment for the algorithm. Crossed Wands 3 has me kinda stumped right now though, ngl. Might soon be time to watch some tactical videos.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Hey thanks Hedera! I appreciate your support 🙂 No worries on not watching the video. I totally get that. And I’m working on a combat guide as we speak! 👍

[@mrshnglu]

Thanks for the tips! I have just started playing. Very helpful!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😁

[@brittca]

I finally picked up this game last week and I can't thank you enough for your work in creating this video! Many thanks! :)

[@gingerkiwi]

This is really helpful to me, thank you! Many of these things are clearer now. And won't have to worry that I'll get stuck wearing ugly glasses or outfits just for the stats. I spent the first week just exploring, and finally figured I should go to class and actually learn the spells. They do come in handy!

[@dubleidd5228]

The game actually tells you this but I think some people may have missed it. There are aincent magic areas around the map which if you complet a certain amount will give you more charges of your aincent magic meter.(unlocks after first chapter and is in challenges)

[@larrydesantis5523]

You see I didn’t know you could rotate the castle. I love this video already and I just started it. Thank you so much for posting it.

[@rxvolutionaryiq_8640]

I got the game when it first came out and these tips wouldve definitely helped me out especially them puzzles ! New sub ! Thanks

[@ChadKenova]

My biggest gripe early on was how much gear i had to destroy, working on the gates now to be able to carry more but loving the game much more than I thought i would.

[@Panda-Monium251]

a pro tip i learned is before starting a main or side quest, i always go to room of requirement to identify unknown items, re gear everything, then sell all the gear im not wearing. that way i dont lose out on gears when i go on quest since you cant travel to stores to sell.

[@Mo-bc8nm]

Just go back and sell everything that you’re not using often. Any person marked by the coins will buy your gear and all gear that you have discovered will remain available for changing your gear look to regardless of whether or not it is still physically in your inventory.

[@margaretballinger2484]

Additional tips: I learned when you search the chests and find gear, they will be scaled for your level or below. So it might be best to wait to open them until you get your level up, especially in areas where you travel frequently. But some areas you can never return to (or want to) such as the intro and those areas where you have to go (no spoilers) to do (no spoilers) challenge to advance the story so it's a one and done location... those are the only chests I have been looting. The obvious reason is higher level gear is more useful, and if not they will sell for a much higher price. Since we can only can search them once it's best to wait if you can.... but I found it's hard to pass by them and resist temptation. But cast revelio everywhere and explore during the introduction and other areas you won't be able to return to later on - there's even coin to be nicked at Gringotts where the sleeping goblin is and outside the vault. Oh, and before you go there, there's a chest in the castle ruins you might like to check out. It's opposite of the statue and pathway, outside of the castle between the wall and the cliff... there's a little hidden easter egg there too.

[@TheSugaroreo]

Me, who has been looting every chest I see: 🙃

[@toeleg]

By endgame you have so much money you can buy your level 40 gear at the vendor it is always at ur current level open all the chests it's not worth trying to mark and remember each on or something

[@toeleg]

@@TheSugaroreo your good keep opening them bro 😊

[@gggz420]

it’s not that deep bro you still get the looks of the gear and you’ll always be changing for higher levels so what’s the point in waiting

[@xSpyroTheDragon]

I disagree with the higher selling price. As far as I can tell the price only depends on rarity, not level. and well you need the money when you are moving on so letting them is not really a smart move, especially since its part of motivation and exploration.

[@lestershinglesnack9210]

Utilize your broom to appear on top of your enemies heads. You can’t actually use spells while flying but if you appear right next to their campfire and light up the whole crew with an upgraded Incendio, you’re off to a great start

[@bridgetsmith6195]

SO glad I found your video! This is SUPER helpful!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Glad to hear that! I hope you're enjoying the game!

[@thebingthing8421]

I’m blown away by the game. I didn’t expect it to be so detailed BUT… I’m freaking level 30 and haven’t got a broom or the room of requirement

[@desertrose0601]

You need to be doing the main story quests. I got both of those around hour 10 (level 15 or so) of playing the game. I vary between wandering around doing side quests and doing the main storyline, but I’d say it’s about halfway through the first season.

[@pnda595]

You should be good it seems quests have a minimum level stuff can be but they will scale with you no matter what

[@katiewatson1972]

I have a tip but not sure if this is helpful to other people. find demiguise statues early on so you aren't hindered later in the game because you can't open a door. there's one in each of the hamlets and loads in hogsmeade that are fairly easy to find with revelio, ( they glow blue and are always the same shape and size so you can see which buildings to look in). I found it so annoying when I was somewhere with level 3 locks and I couldn't get in. there is so much loot and general amazing places that you wouldn't get otherwise. not sure if that made sense

[@mark.clarkk]

Amazing video. Keep up the great work! Massively helpful 🔥

[@cozymatcha11]

Amazing video! My siblings and I recently gotten the game and your Hogwarts playlist has been our go-to guides whilst we play it. ^^

[@officiallyfabi]

Really really good explaining video! Everything straight to the point, helpful and underlined with the right footage. I'll leave a subscription and am looking forward to see further content about the game from you :) I am already about 16 hours in myself and didn't know many things such as the 4 spell combos. Things to add are maybe that the creatures on the arithmancy doors represent these numbers because of a reason. For instance the Unicorn as it has 1 horn, the spider has 8 legs and so on. Helpful to know for the Merlin Trials is as well where to find Malvenkraut (is it the same name in English? The herb you need to kick off the trial). I haven't seen it while roaming the world so maybe you can only buy it or plant it yourself.

[@Chaos.Kraken]

Mallowsweet! You can buy it from some shops in small amounts. But yes, planting it and growing it yourself is the best way to go about it.

[@captured3834]

Oh how cool that they send you a game code! Well deserved! The game is amazing, I’m loving it so far!

[@kymmi2457]

Your tips were sooo useful, especially with the combat. Thank you so much for cracking down on the talents points to do first, now I'm kicking myself I didn't get one or two of them right away. Sooo...now I gotta get those before advancing cause I think I will be in trouble later. Your awesome. ❤

[@ArktixOfficial]

Hey thanks! I'm glad to hear you found my videos helpful! 😁

[@kymmi2457]

@ArktixOfficial So I wanted to start over, 1. I don't like my first character much anymore, and 2. I wanted to take a different route with the second character. I've been taking in the tips you stated as I progressed. Keeping those colors in the same slots is very useful. I may have overly dominated Dueling Club a little too hard after the 'grrs' from my first time around. I have come to terms with the new character is half jackass half sensible. Somewhat like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 😂 Now, to figure out better combat with Horizon Zero Dawn. ☠️ i hear thumping from the bigger machines and..."Nope. Ride, my trusty Broadhead!"

[@joeharwood8996]

[@andrewdawson3381]

This is a great video! Spoiler free, concise, easy to understand and explains a lot of stuff that's easy to miss! The day night shift feature took me ages to figure out! Wish I'd found this vudei when I started playing first lol. For what my opinion is worth you did a great job on this! 👏👏👏

You can explore almost everything outside before fall, some areas in the castle are locked though until you get alohomora, which you get later

[@Folscher]

Hi there, This is the most comprehensive and complete video I've watched so far. Thank you for this. This is my first playthrough as a Ravenclaw, and did 62 hours sp far at 54% of the game. I enjoy it very much, and will definately have a second playthrough. Keep up the good work!

[@mickeymuller]

Most helpful video I've seen on Hogwarts so far,Specifically the mention about when talents unlock.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!

[@dakotalee4885]

Another good tip I found is once you unlock the nab-sack you can go and collect as many beasts as it will hold and sell all the ones you don’t want for 120 a piece at brood and peck in hogsmeade. It’s fairly easy to find beast dens and to capture them as well.

[@pandris]

So you basically become a poacher :D

[@dakotalee4885]

@@pandris shhhhhhhhh.

Do they respawn at dens? I can't wait to get my nab sack! I'm really really really looking forward to collecting all the animals!

I had no idea about the gear change appearance features, I just wore lower buffed gear because it looked cooler instead of making my character look ridiculous with the good gear Thank you for the info

[@sportbier-cm5hl]

Great Game, i enjoyed it a lot. Awesome video for people who started the game. Using spell combos is way more fun in fights than just spamming damage spells (or forbidden ones). I got roughly 80 hours for my first playtrough, got to level 38. I’llstart my second round now, focussing on fighting with plants more 😁

[@tony8076]

I've pretty much figured all of this out for myself organically and I'd honestly recommend it to anyone that has the time to do so. It feels a lot more magical and rewarding to learn all of this by yourself. I had opened up the Arithmancy rooms and found the meaning of the symbols all from process of elimination and note taking and while that seems boring to a lot of people it felt so nice to get rewarded so early for it. I was maybe 5 hours in if that.

[@mitchelllane5384]

Theres also a page in the rafters to, i believe the Grande hall? that explains what character represents which number. Honestly i feel every one of these "tips" are just things learned through reading the tooltips and listening to dialogue. Or exploring the game.

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

For PC, protego is Q, Revelio R, basic attack is left mouse button, aim is right mouse button. Sprint is left shift and V is the golden quest thread trail thing to follow. The numbers 1-4 are your spells and T opens up your spell list and loadout. I haven't progressed the game enough to swap my loadout yet so idk how yet. But figured those are the most important for people on PC, there are tutorial windows, but I've seen some people quickly close those in games and not read them 😂. Oh and if you're changing your facial cosmetics, if your mouse is Not on the sliders, use the arrow keys to spin your character around to get a proper look while in the salon

[@andrewrichardson85]

Been playing for a while and the "zoom all the way out" on the map has been a lifesaver. Thanks.

[@simonstreet5298]

Great video! I find that a slower basic spell 4x then a yellow spell gives you a few extra seconds to juggle and build huge combos 👍

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! And good tip! Thanks for sharing it!

[@reyntime1950]

Thank you. Looking forward to this. Pity about the antiquated limited inventory space. This looks like the current gen bully sequel I've been hoping for.

[@OrgusDin]

I really don't know why they made that design choice, one of the most restricted singleplayer RPGs I've ever seen as far as personal inventory space goes. Barring games without numerous items to pick up ofc.

[@reyntime1950]

@@OrgusDin maybe a massive or bottomless storage chest in your personal quarters or just update the game to drastically increase the item capacity. I'm hoping rare loot can be farmed or crafted late game.

[@Chrischi3TutorialLPs]

Regarding ancient magic throws: Once you get access to the loom and the buff for them, absolutely add this to your entire outfit. The amount of damage this does is ridiculous, even if it doesn't hve much long term power (as you only get so many throws at a time), being able to OHKO some enemies or at least get them to less than half health in one hit is very useful.

[@zurya29]

Ooo yes that would be really nice!

[@wave6553]

There is literally a zero percent chance they would bother coding in touchpad compatibility for a non-PS exclusive game.

[@Jedda678]

The only issue I have is the button mapping for some functions. But also, for combos the fourth basic shot always sends enemies flying. Which makes spells like incendio very limited. Also you cannot cancel your fourth shot into another spell. You have to wait until the recovery animation plays out.

[@Ray0409]

You can use accio to bring enemies closer then use incendio!

Excellent tutorial Im Lvl 26 but still learned a couple of things. One minor point, at around 7 mins you said that the player has to sell extra gear to a shopkeeper in Hogsmead. In fact you can sell to any shop or stall anywhere on the map. For a raw beginner this might be significant to know. Thank you for this guide I didn’t realise how good the ancient throw really is!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thank you! Glad you found this helpful. And yes, great point! You can definitely sell to the shopkeepers around the map too, not just the ones in Hogsmeade 👍

[@opinion-eater432]

In combat I like to, Accio Basic Atk ×3 Levioso Basic Atk ×3 Dipulso Basic Atk ×4 Makes tons of Ancient Magic shards drop as you juggle the enemy in the air and that combo drip is off the charts 🤤 P.S. you can also add in an expeliarmos or Any attack you like at the end just to really drive the damage home!
