Hogwarts Legacy: Unleash Your Wizardry Skills with These Five Useful Tips!
Welcome to Hogwarts Legacy, where you can immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Harry Potter. Set in the late 1800s, this magical game allows you to embrace your role as a wizard-in-training, embarking on a thrilling journey to unlock ancient magic, quell a goblin rebellion, and uncover the secrets of the wizarding world. With a vast game world filled with quests, side missions, and puzzles, we’ve conjured up five essential tips to help you navigate this magical adventure!
Your House: A Personal Choice
After the prologue, you’ll have the opportunity to choose one of the iconic Hogwarts houses – Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor. While some may already have a house in mind, the choice ultimately won’t greatly impact your gameplay. Each house offers an equal number of missions, side quests, spells, and bonuses. Your chosen house primarily affects the color of your outfits and grants you access to your house’s common room. Although each house has an exclusive quest, it is straightforward and occurs early in the game. So choose the house that resonates with you and embrace the magic that awaits!
Master the Art of Spellcasting
Hogwarts Legacy introduces an impressive array of 34 spells for you to unlock and utilize throughout your adventure. These spells range from devastating attacks to controlling enemies and solving intricate puzzles. You can equip up to four spells in your skill set, allowing you to switch between them seamlessly during gameplay, as long as they are not on cooldown. On consoles, press the right D-pad, or “T” on PC, to change your spells instantly. As you progress, completing side missions assigned by your teachers will unlock more spells. Additionally, hitting level 5, completing the Jackdaw’s Rest main mission, and investing two Talent points into the Core talent tree will unlock two more spell sets. So always be prepared to adapt and unleash the perfect spell for any situation!
Take Flight on Your Broomstick
Once you’ve completed the Jackdaw’s Rest mission, get ready to soar through the skies in the Flying Class. Located on the lawn at the Bell Tower Wing of Hogwarts, this exciting mission will allow you to experience the thrill of flying. Simply press LB+B on Xbox, 3 on PC, or L1+Circle on PS5 to mount your broom. However, be cautious, as your broom handles more like an airplane than a magical object, with different forms of acceleration and tricky controls. While you can unequip your broom anytime (except in restricted spaces), remember that fall damage is a reality in this world, so be careful and avoid any unfortunate mishaps while navigating the skies!
Upgrade Your Gear for Power and Style
As you venture through Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll come across a plethora of loot to scavenge and upgrade. Gear comes in five different colors, ranging from black as the weakest to orange as the legendary and most powerful. It’s crucial to continually replace your gear with stronger options, as this is the primary way to progress your character’s stats. Consequently, you’ll accumulate outdated gear along the way. To declutter your inventory, simply sell off any clothing that no longer serves you. Any vendor can purchase your discarded items, but the most convenient option is to fast-travel to Hogsmeade and visit the nearest shop. Remember, the strongest gear may not always be the most visually appealing. Fortunately, you have the power to transmogrify each piece of gear into a style you’ve already unlocked. Just head to the gear menu, select the desired item, and click “customize the appearance.” Express your magical style while staying equipped for the challenges ahead!
Don’t Miss Out on Unclaimed Rewards
Hogwarts Legacy is brimming with missions, items, spells, and countless surprises waiting to be unlocked. Hidden within the Field Guide, the Challenges section offers exclusive transmogrified cosmetics, ability upgrades, and increased storage. Completing various challenges, such as slaying goblins, popping balloons, and exploring the campus, will unlock these valuable rewards. It’s easy to overlook this feature, so remember to regularly check for completed challenges. Just click on the exclamation-marked icons to claim your well-deserved rewards. Don’t let these free goodies go to waste; seize the opportunity to make your wizarding experience even more enchanting!
Now that you’re armed with these essential tips, it’s time to dive into the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy and unleash your true potential. Embark on this extraordinary adventure, embrace your wizarding destiny, and make your mark in the wizarding world!
