So whether you're a seasoned wizard or a new arrival at Hogwarts, this guide is an essential resource for maximizing your wizarding abilities in Hogwarts Legacy.

One of the best things about Hogwarts Legacy is that there is a lot of hidden mechanics in this game which you may not come across even after advancing through 50 plus hours of game time or you could stumble upon it within the first 30 minutes after arriving at Hogwarts so I'm going to walk you through some obscure and actionable tips and tricks I think you should be aware of so by the end of the video you will hopefully have Several if not just one new thing to try out in the Scottish Highlands which will make the game more enjoyable for you now my thanks to Warner Bros here in the UK who sent me across an early access code last week so I was able to complete the game and create this guide for you.

1. Talent And Combat Tips.

let's start off with some talents and combat first because one of the most frequent questions I've seen asked in the comments over the last few days is how many Talent points do we have and Can we unlock every talent in this game well the answer is unfortunately no the maximum level you can reach is level 40 in this game which means that you can earn a maximum of 36 Talent points with a total of 48 talents being unlockable which also means that during your playthrough with your character you will miss out on a total of 12 Talent points which actually works out as the whole stealth and room of requirement tree combined so when you are playing this Game make sure you're only purchasing Talent points you know will benefit your own playstyle because they also cannot be refunded but as I just mentioned stealth there I do want to bring your attention to the petrificus totala spell which is the body binding curse that is an essential spell and can only be activated when you're in stealth in fact you can actually cast this spell and one shot an enemy after casting the aresto momentum slowing spell in combat you Just need to approach them and wait a few seconds for it to activate which is quite cool now you can unlock this spell through Madame kagawa's second broom class assignment and you don't need to slop the levitating charm Wingardium Leviosa into your spell diamond which takes up valuable space as Akio automatically transitions into that spell if you hold it down for long enough so after you unlock this through Professor Garlic's first class Assignment I believe don't bother equipping it as you get two spells for the price of one here now speaking of spell diamonds.

You're going to come across enemies throughout the game Who throw up color-coded Shields which you can only break through by using color code his spells against them purple being Force Red being damaged and yellow being controlled so with that in mind it is important that you organize each of your spells in a way that mirrors each Other so for example every left slot on each of the spell diamonds contains a red damage spell which means every time you do switch your diamonds you know you will always have a red damage spell socketed in that left spelled diamond and that allows you to improve your muscle memory with the game which makes it more enjoyable and fun to play because you're not always eyeballing the bottom right hand corner of the screen every 10 seconds now if you are Interested in the dark arts make sure you unlock the crucial Mastery spell in the dark arts talent tree after completing Sebastian salo's questline as well as the Avada Kedavra Mastery Talent as they are ridiculously overpowered because once you hit an enemy with a basic spell shot after they have had crucial cast upon them all other enemies will be cursed in the vicinity and if you then cast the AK spell on one enemy everyone else will die instantly which As you can see here is our outrageously fun if you do get it right now if you're also farming the combat challenges in the menu for those rewards a good tip from James and Nika in our Discord here is if you partake in a battle arena in game you can technically Farm all types of enemies very quickly here instead of manually looking for them in the wild or waiting for respawns with the process being sped up if you use imperio against the boss as its kills actually count as Yours as well so nice little tip there.

2. Flying And Movement Tips.

Now as for flying which in my opinion is one of the best features of the game, there are some cool things you can do with a broom including casting revelio while you're roaming around as well as being able to loot without dismounting so if you're on a collectible hunt out in the open world this will speed up this process significantly for you you're also able to unlock the flu flame powder networks just by rocketing right Past them on your broom so I'd recommend you fly around the whole world to get to grips with the Brew mechanics in the game and then unlock all of these fast travel points for future quick use and in that regard.

I would also suggest you consider completing the broom upgrade quest line from the vendor in dogs meet where you'll need to win timed broom challenges around the world because once you do hit the maximum upgrade level of level 3 you can really throw your broom Around as it becomes a lot faster and way more responsive as you can see here and this makes me want a Quidditch game even more now because all the ingredients are here for it we just need them to make that cauldron cake but hopefully we will pick that up in a future DLC expansion but another simple tip which I did not utilize early enough in the game is when you want to Dismount don't just use your Controller joystick to aim yourself towards the ground but Rather hold the circle button or Dismount button which will then speed this process up for you significantly and speaking of which you can also Dismount and Mountain water and land directly in the ancient magic hotspot puzzles without the need to climb walls to initiate them as well as being able to Dismount when you're mid-air after jumping off a cliff or ledge and the same thing can be said when you unlock the Swift talent that allows you to Operate or disapparate around the world which you can then do to jump off cliffs to get a little bit of room and then Mount up quickly after which I I think is a very cool set of animations there and whilst we're talking about this Swift Talent do consider spamming it when you're in quest where you can't Mount to go faster or areas like hogsmeade it's actually quicker than sprinting so you can't get around a lot faster now.

3. Galleons And poaching Tips (Get Rich Quick).

When you're at hogsmead a very quick way to earn some fast gold is to cast the disillusionment stealth charm on yourself and then loot the Disillusionment I boxes which can only be unlocked when you approach them in stealth and there's half a dozen of them in hogsmeade so do Sprint around spamming that revelio spell for an easy 6K gold and I would also recommend that you work your way through the room of requirement questline with Deke to unlock more Beast bag space as you only start with 10 knob sack spaces initially and what this means is that you can rescue up to 55 piece while you're out Exploring after unlocking though those four vivariums back in your room but instead of actually bringing them back to breed and farm resources in those rooms you can take these beasts directly to the vendor in hogsmead and sell them for 120 gold a piece and what this means for you is that you can pull in a far 6K gallions in around 30 minutes just by rotating back and forth from these two puff skin dens located by the Forbidden Forest as they are the easiest and Quickest beasts to catch and while you're in the room of requirement when it does come to setting up your potions and plant tables I would suggest you first consider purchasing the three medium plant pot table and the two large plant pot table as well as the t-shaped potions table from tombs and Scrolls in hogsmeade which allows you to brew and sew everything in game and then you can place them in a production line so it's really easy for you to just walk down And press the collect button when you do return to your room for that maximum efficiency. 

4. Secret Armor and Cosmetics.

There's a couple cool outfits you can earn in game after you do fly through a few Hoops to get them and the first being the awesome captains quidditch robes which will be Centric to your house of choice and I actually think this is my favorite because cosmetic setting game especially the way the road physics operate in the wind when flying at Max broom speed but to Get hold of them you'll need to complete find and land on the landing platforms throughout the world and they're usually located near balloons but not always and you can identify how many platforms there are in each region by zooming out in your minimap and hovering your icon over that county in question so you're then able to view the full repertoire of Collectibles that you still need to rummage around and find and you can also unlock this house Relic robe which you Loot from your own house chest in your common room and to do this you'll need to find the Flying Keys all around Hogwarts and then slap them into the lock cabinets which are also in sporadic locations around the castle there's a total of 16 of them and you can start this Quest by speaking to Nelly ogspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard as that is her side quest now you may also be interested in the Treasure Hunt robes which you can obtain by picking up the Treasure maps that can be looted at specific locations on the map itself now the game doesn't give you any indication on where this treasure is apart from the illustration itself but they are near significant points of interest which make it easier to identify and I'll have a guide out about this soon but just know that if you come across one of these in the world you will pick up the treasure hunt robes as a reward for completing each treasure hunt and I Think it doesn't look too shabby at all to be honest with you but on top of that you can also earn the Spider Slayer armor for completing the two challenges for killing spiders which gives you an interesting look for your cloak and headpiece which I think is good to know here because I know a lot of people are avoiding fighting those spiders in game.

5. Quest Info To Know.

 

I have noticed a lot of people asking about how these storylines differ throughout the game and I just Want to give you a polite yet mild spoiler alert here just in case you'd rather figure this one out for yourself through multiple house playthroughs but the story quests do indeed differ if you play different houses so for example I didn't play the nearly headless knit quest line as I wasn't in Gryffindor House nor did I go to the wizard prison Azkaban and see Dementors which you can do if you're in Hufflepuff house and there's a lot more quests and examples I Could give you of course but if you have played through the game as one house it is worth considering to try another to experience new content which you may not have otherwise seen now the rumor requirement is a pretty amazing mechanic in this game and there's lots of Secrets tips and tricks that you definitely should know about it.
