Hogwarts Legacy has finally descended on PC and latest generation consoles to throw open the doors of the famous school of witchcraft and wizardry and welcome millions of Harry Potter fans within its walls. Set in a vast world, the role-playing game packaged by Avalanche Software is overflowing with content and secrets to discover, which is why we have prepared a list of tips that could make your life easier between the school desks of Hogwarts and the trips to the Forbidden Forest that surrounds a large part of the castle.
Don’t neglect study
As we told you in the Hogwarts Legacy review, the open world matrix title offers a flood of secondary content, which could capture your attention right from the start of the game and encourage you to explore the areas of Hogwarts and all the surrounding locations. An activity that could take you dozens of hours, even making you lose sight of the objectives of the main campaign.
Since overcoming the missions related to the classroom lessons will allow you to learn new spells and skills, also granting you access to further secondary missions and initially blocked areas, we strongly suggest that you postpone your full exploration of Hogwarts until you have completed at least the first few lessons of all seven subjects taught in the renowned school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Since all subsequent lessons will teach you extremely useful skills, you should consider completing them as soon as they are presented to you, by doing so your wizard’s talents will increase quickly and you will continuously unlock new content.
Use Revelio
As suggested by the name, Revelio is a spell that allows you to reveal hidden objects, messages, passages and even make visible what is normally invisible. Activated with the left arrow, in Hogwarts Legacy this extraordinary magic even works through walls, showing you any enemies, objects to interact with and much more.
Considering that Revelio does not need to be recharged after each useyou should continuously cast the spell, in doing so you will find chests, padlocks, practical guide pages with great ease and above all you will not run the risk of losing the many secrets that the developers have hidden in Hogwarts Legacy.
Equipment
Whether you want to or not, during Hogwarts Legacy you will continuously obtain new pieces of equipment, which is why from time to time you might even forget or not feel like taking a look at the accumulated items. Although it may become a little annoying in the long run, we advise you to check collected clothing regularlyas different pieces of equipment could greatly increase the parameters of your magical alter-ego.
By the way, at the beginning of Hogwarts Legacy you will barely have 20 equipment slots, and since you run out of them very quickly, you will sometimes have to throw something away in order to continue collecting new items.
While waiting to be able to complete Merlin’s challenges, which once overcome will expand the equipment slots, allowing you to carry up to 40 different objects, you might evaluate the possibility of regularly visit the village of Hogsmeade to sell anything you no longer need. By doing so, you will not only avoid throwing away your old equipment, but you will also take home a nice nest egg.
Collect everything!
Whether you cross them on foot or on your magical brooms, in the many environments that make up the world of Hogwarts Legacy you will constantly come across ingredients and raw materials to mix to create potions.
Since the game’s missions will ask you to prepare concoctions using sometimes rare resources, you’d better always collect everything, this way you will never run out of ingredients and without even realizing it you will also find the raw materials that otherwise could waste a lot of time.
By the way, not only can your alter-egos carry an infinite amount of ingredients, but once you unlock the Room of Requirement you will be free to cultivate roots and so on as you please. Why shouldn’t you take advantage of it?
The chests with the eye
Are you short of cash? Don’t worry, because the world of Hogwarts is full of very special chests that they contain 500 gold each! Characterized by the presence of a magic eye, these special chests will do everything to prevent you from opening them, and at least in the first hours of the campaign it will be impossible for you to loot them.
Once you learn the disillusionment spell to become invisible, however, you just need to cast it before you even approach the chests with your eye, after which you can open and loot them without problems. Since the chests with the eye are quite a lot and 500 gold represents a considerable sum, we suggest that you open them sparinglysince otherwise you would risk destroying the entire game economy and ruining a good part of the experience.
Choose the difficulty
Like many of its congeners, Hogwarts Legacy includes a difficulty selector that allows the player to choose the level of challenge closest to their preferences. Self “History“, which is the least demanding level, is suitable for those who want to explore the magical world and complete the campaign without great difficulty, we are convinced that “Difficult” will instead meet the needs of wizards and witches eager to prove themselves.
Since the first few hours of Hogwarts Legacy are anything but demanding, our advice is always to start the game on “Normal” difficultyby doing so you will be able to familiarize yourself with the combat system and decide whether to increase or reduce the level of challenge.
Finally, we remind you that on the pages of Everyeye.it you will also find tricks to parry attacks, a guide to the use of powerful Ancient Magic and some advice on how to customize the flying broom with which to roam the skies of Hogwarts.
