Hogwarts Legacy - I Wish I Had Known This Sooner... (Tips & Tricks)

I hope this guide helps you out & what are you looking forward to most? would love to hear your thoughts down below 👍🏻

So much for "gammers don't want single player games anymore." I'm loving this so much! It's like the good old days again. Back in 2007.

This game was hyped as all get out and it’s even better than I expected. What a win for this game team and Harry Potter fans

Also with the Arithmancy doors, the frame of the door has the correct animals from left to right, being 0-9. So you don't need to have cheat sheet next to you.

I played about 50 hours, solved a lot of Merlin trials and Ancient magic puzzled and wondered why I don't get a bigger inventory and more ancient magic slots - only to discover that I need to 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 completed challenges in the challenge menu.

Spending one talent point into the Revelio spell upgrade is also a big help. It makes it's range faaar bigger.

Handy tip for the door. You don't actually need to keep an image of the cheat sheet. If you look at the door, all the animals around the "arch" are in order of their numbers 0 to 9 (going clockwise). Starting with the Demiguise on the bottom left (zero), ending with the 9-headed hydra on the bottom right (nine).

I wish they added Draco Malfoy's "Serpensortia spell" from Chamber of Secrets. Would be awesome to summon snakes to attack your enemy, especially if you're a Slytherin.

To break the colored shields, cast the same color spell at the enemy.

Pro tip, a black flag on a location either in hogwarts local map or next to the map name up the top means there's a side quest or main quest event there. If you're looking for side quests check to see if there's a flag posted up.

I'm 25 hours in and I've passed up so many disillusionment chests because i didnt know how to open them 😪 Thanks for this!!

One thing I hope they add in dlc is a companion magical beast option so you can have a Niffler running around with you which guides you to nearby treasures etc and the ability to use the beasts you capture for this and mounts

They did a fantastic job with this game. It's been way too long for us to be given a complete game at launch that can satisfy us without requiring a group of friends and a bunch of anxiety. This game is HUGE ... the video should give insight. I have played for 8 hours and just now unlocked traits and flying.

You don't need a cheat sheet if you look closely, the respective numbers are reflected in the creature pictures ... 😏 (I took one look at it and was like, there has to be a way to figure this out, and there is ... guess I'll sort myself into Ravenclaw now) Demiguise - nothing Unicorn - 1 horn Graphorn - 2 horns Runespoor - 3 heads Fwooper - 4 tails ??? - 5 legs Salamander - 6 "appendages" (legs, head, tail) ??? - body looks like a 7 Spider - 8 legs (duh) Hydra - 9 heads Tadaaa! 😎

One of the best tips I can give you regarding killing a character with high HP (like Trolls) with ease, is that to cast Imperio (mind-control curse) on them, they won't attack you back anymore. You can achieve 70+ combo streak with this so feel free to use ancient magic on them too.

I have to disagree a bit about the plant pots, yes you can grow anything in the larger ones but being able to grow 5 of each small item is actually fairly useful if you are brewing a lot of potions. Not to mention that growing items in the larger pots, sadly, does not increase how many you get back. Example: No matter what sized pot you use for Dittany leaves, you will always get back 5 leaves. (6 if you use fertilizer). On the subject of fertilizer, it's better to use it on Mandrakes, Tentaculas, or Chomping Cabbages since they only produce 1 per growth normally. Sadly it's not as useful on other plants since it only adds 1 in return.

If you notice on those doors, the symbols are listed in numerical order of the animals. So if you can’t remember the cheat sheet you can just count digits from the bottom left pictures going up and over the door in order from 0 to 9. The pictures have visual clues as well. One unicorn horn, 8 spider legs, etc etc.

Hands down one of the best single player games that came out in a pretty long time imo

Those puzzle with the 2 locks for each door. I simply set one lock on one imagine and then cycle through the other lock checking the door after each switch. If none work, I got to the first lock and change it to the next image and repeat the process on the second light cycling through them. There’s only so many combinations and it’s a pretty quick process.

@AndyReloads If You Go To The Accessibility Options And Turn On “High Contrast Gameplay”, You Can Have An Easier Time Finding Interactable Things Around The World Especially After Casting Revelio. Red = Enemies Green = Interactive NPCs Yellow = Objects, Items, And Non Harm-able Creatures Blue = Your Character Sky Blue = Objects That Require Spells Or Items To Interact With
