[@silverjohn6037]

Starting out don't be afraid to spend a little time travelling around on foot rather than fast travelling or broom riding. Moonstones and assorted plants are everywhere and picking them up as you go means you'll never be short of either.

[@MalfunctionNeo]

Big tip, save up for the three largest herbology stations (small x 5, medium x 3, large x 2) while expensive both galleons and moonstone, this makes the most of your 7 station limit within the room of requirement. Why grow 7 plants when you could potentially have 35 growing plots.

[@MalfunctionNeo]

Don't use all larges... As they only have 2 slots you're limiting yourself to 14 plants... I like to use 3 small (15 slots), 2 medium (6 slots) and 2 large (4 slots) a total of 25 plant slots.

[@KellyKMc]

One of the best scrolls is the one that creates a random potion every 11 minutes or so. Create two of these in the Room of Requirement, you will not need to brew any potions. Concentrate on maximizing herbology.

I wish I knew this one tip more than any tip, but I figured it out for myself

[@WolfieSilveira]

One note about Incendio. yes i agree i like the range of confringo more, but i find incendio invaluable when fighting groups of inferi as they all need to be affected by fire, before they take damage, so i like to get up close with the group, use the circle of incendio to get them all burning so i can start fighting them all

[@FuryousD]

agreed, i use Incendio all the time since its good for crowd control, fire is required for specific enemies and its just cool to see a ring of fire erupt form your wand

[@gogeta667]

Accio>Basic Cast>Incendio. You can pull someone in, hit them once, then blast them. Depulso after to send them into their friends for good measure. 😂

[@Evan-mf9zf]

Upgrade accio and incendo then make a great combo out of it. Accio> glacial spell > incendio and watch whole groups just die instantly

[@ApexFaiDural]

INCENDIO MASTERY is Very useful against inferi. confringo is only 2nd to INCENDIO in this one situation

[@Uyhn26]

On top of that, Incendio actually has the highest damage in game, surpassing Diffindo. It’s range can be made up either by Accio or blink roll towards enemies.

[@alecstronach]

I found that wiggenweld potions are abundant all over the world, if i use some ill probably replenish my supply just with the drops in the aftermath - especially against goblins. I found that thunderbrew potions were the best use of my time in the room of requirement as theyre pretty powerful and after your first encounter with inferi, theyre easy to make too.

[@kr46428]

Be willing to slow burn certain quests. For example, instead of trying to tackle all of the Demiguise statues and Daedalian keys at once, just give yourself a while of doing other quests to find them naturally. Once you've gotten past the first two sets of Merlin trials, just do the trials as you come to them. Same thing with popping balloons.

[@jkent9915]

I agree. Doesn’t matter if it’s travel speed or load screens, it’s just wasting time by traveling around to do collecting.

[@mysterious___1]

I did all the keys and demiguise statues at once. I really wanted the house robe and I wanted to be able to unlock any door or chest I came across.

[@CSnake4Gaming]

Don't agree, atleast not with demiguise part Get all of those moons asap to unlock level 3 if spell

[@maxchen9185]

agreed. these trivia got irritatingly repetitive after a while if you keep doing them intentionally. But encountering them on your way to somewhere might well be a pleasant change of pace.

[@takeadeepbreathin]

That’s kind of what I’ve been doing. I got bored of searching for them so I started doing other stuff and I realized while I was doing other stuff I was coming across them so I’m getting there. With this game there’s no reason to be bored. You do what you feel like, when you feel like, for me at least. So much to do. It’s been a lot of fun.

[@Deschit]

One of the best things I've found is perked disillusionment charm paired with perked transfiguration and petrificus. You can sneak through entire large waves taking down foes from behind, especially groups, and snipe outliers by transfiguring them into explosive barrels and one tapping with a normal cast to light them up. Others around will immediately investigate and take the AOE blast. Otherwise turn them into a keg and throw it at the others. It's not a charge in approach, but I've found it immensely fun.

[@3eezy]

Stuff like this is why I want a new game plus to play a wizard or witch who's playing along with the teachers pretending they don't know how to turn a person into a prolapsed asshole 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂😂

[@silverjohn6037]

Don't forget you can drop cabbages and tentacula wihout breaking stealth. Fully perked those plants can do a lot of damage and the tentacula seem to attract mobs over to them letting you set up a petroficus.

[@czanderrr]

You're missing out if you don't get the 4 measly points in stealth. Stealth is really OP in this game and even if you don't stealth a ton, for the situations that call for it you'll be super happy you did it

[@toxicavenger.]

Some wizards just want to go in spells blazing :)

[@djrosette]

Hogwarts legacy is one of the few games where I don't totally suck at stealth especially after upgrading the stealth skills

[@mikeweeks2078]

I have one tip I haven’t seen in a video yet and wish I knew, when flying on your broom, if you fly low your boost will not deplete.

[@FuryousD]

wait what, i didn't notice that at all when flying low, i will have to test this out once i unlock flying on my personal character (i have a straming character that has it unlocked).

I rarely ever used wiggenweld potions on normal mode, so I switch to hard mode and I actually enjoy the slight challenge to it now. I also never used any of the other potions and plants so switching to hard mode gave me more of a reason to try those out as well.

[@TheCalamityArtist]

Woah! That’s good! I was on normal but switched to story bc it was so hard 😢

[@djrosette]

Cool. I switched to story cause I got tired of having to do the lockpick mini-game each and every time needed to unlock a door 😅

[@GregDV]

You make a lot of good points, I wasted a ton of Galleon’s on my first play though. Though I want to point out incendio mastery helps if you are getting mobbed by spiders or Inferius, I have used it successfully in a few instances. And there is a mod thank puts a talent reset potion for sale at J Pippins if you are playing on pc though I haven’t used it.

[@feelingfuzzied9942]

I started room of requirement with over 200 moonstones 😂. Doing hard difficulty with zero wiggenweld upgrades or crafting. Elden ring has prepared me for this

[@eilzmo]

Agree with the “get all the spells” thing. But the side quests have all been pretty good tbf. I wouldn’t ignore all side quests that aren’t spell rewards - throw one in every now and then for funsies. The pacing matters but it’s totally up to you. I haven’t regretted the way I’ve paced the game. When any side quest appears, I’ll do it lol. Especially as a lot of them are to go clear a bandit camp or den of spiders which gets you good loot

[@pineconey]

I agree. I do everything, including just exploring, and like to delay the main quest and make the game last.

@@minatonamikaze6400 Not sure, but I noticed a man cocooned in webbing at a spider area and freed him with fire. I didn't get to talk to him in time because I was still battling spiders, but I wonder if that's what you do to complete it. Or maybe it just remains on the map.

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

Also don't neglect the combat plants - you can carry 12 mandrake roots at a time, and having a couple of 5-pot tables in the room of requirement will let you replenish your mandrakes in one visit, and an AOE stun is a godsend in fights with multiple enemies.

[@riotoews7853]

[@silverjohn6037]

The fertilizer generator is usually the first spellscroll I buy. You can only have three but the fertilizer they produce every four minutes will double the yield from each plant at your potting table.

[@ThinkingCap_]

Pro tip: The seasons change based on the main quests completed! So if you want to avoid winter, be careful as you progress. The game is really pretty in Autumn so that's the best time to finish all the side quests while you still have some main stories to complete as incentive :)

[@vincentwendt4930]

Why would anyone want to avoid winter? It’s probably one of the most beautiful seasons in the game, especially once Hogwarts has its Christmas decorations up

[@SkimoStories]

Hey I'm in winter now, roughly level 30. Without spoiling as much as possible, do you know what season the game is in its final state? Like when you've completed the main quest is it summer again or spring? Or does it stay winter for the rest of the story? I would really hate that. I haven't done many of the broom sidequests and now I'm beating myself up because I don't want to do them when everything is dead and frozen over.

[@ThinkingCap_]

@@vincentwendt4930 Hard disagree, I'll take spring/summer/fall's colorscope over the gray tones of winter ANY day - respect your opinion though, some might love it! ForbiddenForest is cool in Winter

[@ThinkingCap_]

@@SkimoStories Yes it goes back to Spring! So you'll get to do all of the side quests in the green glory again. It's really the only bonus lol - I have a hard time enjoying a game once all the main quests are done so I'm legit min-maxing specific quests to get the most out of the progression and it's pretty amazing so far. First playthrough I didn't even notice the seasons until Winter came lol

[@unpolished6296]

You guys are so clear and well spoken, so easy to understand everything. As always thanks for great contant.

[@nocti6232]

I like that talent points are limited, it gives replay value to the game and gives you an opportunity to try different 'builds'. My first character went 'Hufflepuff' as I envisioned her more of an alchemist and being a dark wizard really doesnt fit her good two shoes vibe. However, I'd love to play the game again as a Slytherin and go full on Dark Wizard for that character.

[@vimzim8576]

I think the issue is that the spells get trickled out you might rely on a dud spell early on because your options aren't great early and spec into it to make it better, but it is just dead weight now. I have a few talents I wouldn't pick again. I would have preferred for us to get about half the talent points and for there to be an ability to respec somewhere in Hogwarts so you could take on more specialised roles. My first character was Slytherin and I went down the path of dark magic and took all 10 dark arts but I'd probably not take a few of them knowing what I know now. Like Imperio Mastery, it is weak and it is fairly easy for you to curse everyone. Curse Sapper sounds useful in theory but doesn't do enough in reality. I sm not sure if Blood Curse does enough either so you could thin down going from 10 down to 7 but you don't really know what is good or bad until you have already committed to it permanently and I probably wont play another dark arts character so all there is just regret at some choices.

[@FuryousD]

i mean the fact that there are house exclusive quests adds replay value, u dont need any more than that, id rather have either the ability to respec or to be able to be over powered and be able to unlock them all in one playthrough

[@silverjohn6037]

@@vimzim8576 With the right combo and talents, even the spells you think are duds can be pretty powerful. With the talent upgrades you can Leviosa a group of enemies, Accio to bring them in close then Incendio the group. It doesn't work with every mob as some can't be Levios'd but it works well for an initial sneak attack against, poachers, goblins and wolves.

[@Draco.Invictus]

While you can't determine which trait you are going to get from the ornate chest in bandit camps, you can use the time turner (save scumming) to get another "first" look in the chest. Your level also has some determination (couldn't tell you specifics other than I see more Tier III traits at higher levels, even though I don't have the Tier I or II of that trait). Luckily it doesn't take a terribly long time to load the game, so saving and reloading for better traits doesn't waste too much time. Also remember that you can't slot a Tier II or III into a Superb piece of gear (the blue gear). Superb gear (blue) have a Trait Slot Level 1, Extraordinary gear (purple) have a Trait Slot Level 2 and, finally, Legendary gear (orange/gold) have a Trait Slot Level 3.

Anyway, everyone plays differently, but as long as we are having fun, is all that matters. This game is now in the "Elite" group of my top 10 games of all time, in fact, it's my number 3 game of all-time at the moment. I love and I'm addicted to this game, even though it still needs a few patches to fix all those small glitches and bugs, like not being able to pick up certain items due to not having a prompt to do so, getting rid of those yellow glowing chests revealed by "Revelio" once the chests have been open and having unlimited pings with Revelio in certain areas, because in some areas they have a cool down. Those are just a few examples, but there are a few others as well, mostly minor. Oh and,... "Revelio" is by far, my most used spell. Well, it's back to Hogwarts for me... Game on everyone! 😎 P.S. I avoid opening most chests until I reach level 40, because all gear levels with the player's level.

mmh I still really like incendio mastery, anything that gets close; incendio. Really helpfull for spiders and inferi. I've sort of commited to not using the dark arts/curses if I can avoid it, despite learning the unforgivables as a Ravenclaw ( knowledge is knowledge after all) I really like the idea of my first character knowing how to do the unforgivibles, but having the wisdom to only use them as a last resort.

[@creamygoodness2310]

I'd say you need the incendio upgrade for fighting large groups of INferi. They can't be harmed unless you set them on fire first and if youre in the battle arena or an Inferi lair then having both confringo and incendio can help a lot. Also, you only have 3 spells that do cast damge with no set up, and that's one of them. Sure Depulso kind of does as well as decendo, but those take set up spells.

[@SpaceNavy90]

Spiders too, they are very weak to fire. Incendio (when upgraded) is great for when you are getting surrounded and need a good AOE damage attack.

[@davidbujna8480]

Same goes for Protego/Depulso upgrade. The shockwave it causes around you is great way to deal with goblins and mongrels. Overall I would say most if not all talents are great and enhance you a lot.

[@Everlucky_Clover]

i ironically was reading a reddit post about the accio group talent and the incendio talent trap. they went on and on about how incendio was the trap part. when in reality it was the accio part since AOE for spiders and inferni is EXACTLY why the incendio talent point isnt a waste. extremely useful niche isnt a waste. it is shoehorning something together and calling it essential that is the waste. now dont get me wrong but the accio groups of mobs can be fun, but for a large part isnt practical >_< mobs eventually start actively spreading out making the talent activation very inconsistent, or they literally say "you activated my trap card" as they ferociously turn into melee monsters once you accio them close.

[@weasel7396]

Great Video

[@krise99391]

Also, you can have every potion activated at once, so you can just pop an invisibility potion, then every other one to become invincible, dealing massive damage and taking out shields instantly, with practically no cooldown on your spells as a thundercloud smites all your enemies for you. Add in the cabbages and tentaculas, and your enemies will just melt before you. I was struggling a bit with a massive spider boss, but then i just popped everything i had, and the fight was over in 10 seconds. I barely even had to lift a finger. And you can repeat this 12 times with a full inventory, letting you beat anything in the game with ease.

If you want to beat hard battles the first time you can carry 25 health potions. Also use the talent points when you see a talent that increases the effectiveness of a health potion.

[@THEGHETTOGEEK20]

I had regrets for upgrading incendio, but it’s useful when you’re surrounded by those creatures that you have to hit with fire before they can get damaged.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

That’s really the only scenario I’ve found it useful too. I still regret the point, but it definitely has viability when dealing with Infiri

[@kr46428]

Spiders also are very vulnerable to fire, and they have a bad habit of swarming. When your confringo is on cool down, it is nice to still have a way to move everyone back a step and light 'em on fire. You still get quite a few talents to pick from, so they aren't all going to be winners.

I was level 21 before even leaving the castle. Was shockeed.

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

I was level 20 before I even started the quest to unlock all those locks. It just seemed as I kept going out in the world I'd come to a hamlet and do all of quests there including Merlin's trials or follow the pretty butterflies. Now I'm 23rd level and got level 3 of unlock and I still haven't even gotten my mount. In no hurry to finish the main quest. Still working out my little room in Hogwarts and just came across the dark arts combat zone too but my 1st foray there went badly because I had zero health pots. But it's a good game but flying still needs work. There's no way to look around you while on your broom, by that, no looking up and down. Hopefully, a future patch may clean that up a bit. It sure degrades a key experience in the game and one that will need loads of work once they add quidditch because flying sucks the way it is. I find myself running around more than using my broom except when I want to get somewhere new or gain entrance to an area that requires a broom. They definitely created a great world for future DLCs.

There are a few things that they should fix 1: when you get to the 50 hogwarts pages, 25 hogsmead pages, and 16 world pages you can't level up from the remaining pages 2: you can only reach level 40 in game what about the savvy spender achievement in Xbox One you need at least 35 to get through the stealth, core,spell, and dark arts trees in that skill tree section 3: the voices of the main character I think they should use the player's voice and have the character be a transfer student from their player's location like I am from the USA and I should be a transfer student from ilvermorny 4: what if someone wants to play as a tomboy student if they choose a female student but they want to wear pants the only option to to choose a male student I mean why can't the girl student wear pants 5: why can't the main student sit down of course they sit down in class and they sit when talking to nattie but they can't even sit to have a meal or to meet their fellow classmates 6: last but not least why isn't our name mentioned not even once as a first timer hogwarts student I would love to be mentioned in game

I have not bought the game yet. But we'll be tonight after I get home. I'm a truck driver so I need something to keep busy and Harry Potter games are pretty neat. I think a neat idea would be is if some company could come up with an online game with Harry Potter that would be great! Like say start at Hogwarts at year one and work your way through all the years. I know that's a lot to ask of a game developer but could be a lot of fun. I would play it all the time when I was parked or at a doc being loaded. Just an idea from a Harry Potter fan

Made almost all of the "mistakes" and they didn't feel like mistakes at all! Honestly, my advice to you is, whenever a main quest opens up, do all the side missions that also become available, they are tailored for your level and spells that you have already acquired! Not to mention that they make you explore the world... don't do crazy invading loyalists' settlements as many side missions you'll make you go there, so, unless you'll want to be doing twice the job, don't bother! I'm playing normal difficulty, 60+ in, and have 91% of overall progress... I explored the map as it presented itself, and I felt that was the best way not to feel burnt out, believe me, it's huuuge! So, take your time! Do the missions as they appear, otherwise, you'll miss out on some great stories and later you'll be stuck with a bunch of side content

6:42 your mistaken there stupor can be cast when ever protego is used not only on a perfect protego and altho stupor doesnt break shields on hard difficulty, a perfect protego does. So you can break every shield with just good timing on protego on hard and when locking on to the enemy casting or keeping the attacking enemy with the white outline you can break their shield and stun them for a while just with a perfect protego

When i first heard about the importance of growing your own plants to brew your potions at first i thought it would be an intresting thing and it totally fits in this world. However while hunting for crafting materials are generally very annoying in most games, here i honestly think they went abit overboard in the opposite direction. Once u have the first small version of the room of requirement unlocked u can start to grow and brew but imo u get to many plants from each harvest that after just 2-3 harvests u have more plants then u know what to do with. U could ofc turn all of it into potions but then u end up with a massive oversupply of each potion type. Potion effects are powerful if u spec into them but with such a massive oversupply (excluding wiggenweld) your starting to turn into a Witcher 3 Alchemy build and just downing potions all the time. It might not be that bad at first when u only have the 1 planter/brewer per table, but the moment u buy the 3 slot planter/brewer u will instantly have more plants then u know what to do with. The rescued beast section on the other hand i think was very well balanced and u can manuelly adjust how mutch of each animals resource u can get when u visit them by simply adding/removing beasts that u need more/less of.

[@davidbujna8480]

I prefer having more of the ingredients, then less. Sometimes when I got too cocky in a fight and was not careful I would have to down up to5 or more potions and if you go on "expedition" you can be down to zero potions in few minutes. So knowing I can just pop into RoR and go to crafting potions and not having to wait for plants to grow

Swift is currently bugged (it better be a bug). If you try using it while fighting a troll, you can watch the troll 'slide' to you when you use the swift dodge, and hit you with the second swing of their combo. Just a FYI for those that think there is something wrong, there is. LOL

Incendio Mastery paired with Accio & Crucio Mastery with Blood Curse is actually really powerful. Confringo and Bombarda are my go-to power spells but Accio multiple enemies, Crucio one of them with Crucio Mastery so they all get cursed, use Insendio with its ring of fire it'll hit them all for a lot of damage as well as doing extra damage from Blood Curse hurting all cursed enemies. Incendio Mastery on its own is admittedly dogshit, but paired with other talents it's potentially one of the most powerful upgrades in the game.

I would never describe this game as “all just thrown at you”. It’s far less sandboxy than games like Fallout, for example. There’s a pretty tight path they want you to go on as far as which quests to do next. You can’t even discover some of them until until you’ve passed other ones.

[@cronicreas]

Incindio is useful in certain circumstances, but once you unlock confringo, incindio becomes pretty much a useless spell. Also for making galleons you can capture and sale magical beasts at the magical beasts shop (Peck and Groom is the name I believe, located in the northern part of Hogsmeade).

@@Deschit accio followed by incendio wrecks

[@DannyAlcarin]

I disagree about Incendio. Incendio becomes one of the hardest hitting attack spells in the the game if you spec into it and combine it with and spec into Accio. You can increase this power by stacking Tier III Incendio clothing enchantments. You can properly turn Accio/Incendio into a one shot for anything save maybe a troll or mini-boss. When paired with another high damage spell combo on your bar, like Glacius/Diffindo, you can become a killing machine. With clothing enchantments you can easily get Incendio damage above 5k and I've seen it has high as 8k on a stunned troll combined with a Glacius. Incendio/Accio is an OP build that I'd put above even a fully specced Dark Arts Avada Kedavra multi-kill build.

[@vimzim8576]

One thing I haven't seen many people cover is upgrades to your gear outside of slapping a trait on, even though numerically the difference doesn't look like a lot, I can feel the difference. Headware, Faceware and Outfit slots have an Offensive primary stat, when you upgrade these pieced you get defensive stats. The other three (Handware, Neckware and Cloaks & Robes) have a defensive primary stat and give you an offensive secondary stat when you upgrade them. I only use legendary gear after a while, it can have 3 upgrades and take a tier 3 trait. For defensive armour, 1st upgrade costs 3x Mooncalf Fur, 2nd costs 3x Mooncalf Fur, 1x Thestral Hair and 1x Fwooper Feather and the last upgrade costs the same as 2nd plus 1x Unicorn Hair and 1x Phoenix Feather For offensive armour, 1st upgrade costs 3x Jobberknoll Feathers, 2nd costs 3x Jobberknoll Feathers, 1x Niffler Fur and 1x Toad Warts and the last upgrade costs teh same as the 2nd plus 1 Hippogriff Feather and 1x Graphorn Horn. All beasts return 3 of their trade component except for Jobberknolls and Mooncalves which give 5. To fully upgrade a legendary Defensive armour piece requires 9x Mooncalf Furs, 2x Thestral Hairs, 2x Fwooper Feathers, 1x Phoenix Feather and 1x Unicorn Hair. For the Offensive armour it is 9x Jobberknoll Feathers, 2x Niffler Fur, 2x Toad Warts, 1x Graphorn Horn and 1x Hippogriff Feather. There is only 1 Phoenix and so they can't breed and I've never seen another Graphorn in the one and only camp that exists so it might be limited to one. The Unicorns and Hippogriffs came in pairs that can breed. I have 4 Jobberknolls and Mooncalves and 2 of the others plus one of the Phoenix & Graphorn and I haven't had a major issues with running out of resources for upgrading, i normally just harvested when I came back to Hogwarts to identify gear. I don't fill out all the vivariums because harvesting is a pain when you have 12 beasts in each vivarium, you can't sell them so you should just aim to have enough for your needs. You will need a couple of Puffskein for T1 traits and Diricawls for T2 traits early on when you use blue/purple gear but can set them free later on and just keep a few Kneazle for T3 traits when you stick to legendary armour only. Some beasts have a star on the opposite side to their gender, when you breed a male and female version you can produce some weird colours, but otherwise they are the same functionally speaking. I wish I knew this information in advance, my beast management was a mess for a long time, I went nuts breeding unicorns and wasn't really necessary. I eventually trimmed my Vivariums back to a simple/efficient setup.

[@davidbujna8480]

Graphorn can be breed. Once you get the male version for the quest, go back and there will be female available. You have to beat it up like before, but it's not a boss battle, so you can down it fast and then just capture it)
