Lumos What do you think you're doing here, humans? Welcome to Hogwarts Legacy. You're a new student at the famed school
of witchcraft and wizardry with a unique ability
to manipulate powerful ancient magic hidden in the wizarding world. You'll need to uncover what's behind
the return of this forgotten magic and who is seeking to harness it
to destroy wizardkind - as you may be the one that decides
the fate of the entire wizarding world. But before you can study magic and begin
to solve these mysteries, you must create the witch or wizard
you want to be. When you arrive at Hogwarts, you will be sorted
into one of the four Hogwarts houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff,
Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. After you settle into your dormitory,
you will meet up with your housemates in the common room. You will then need to attend classes,
and you do have some catching up to do, as you are starting at Hogwarts late as
a fifth year. So you are the new student. You'll begin your studies
attending Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology,
and Potions classes - to name a few. Ah, hello! Class, please welcome the newest
rose in our garden. Ahem. Let's get started, shall we? Welcome to Charms year five. This will be a crucial year
in your education on the art of Charmwork. But I am confident that we shall take
hold of it with the passion and rigour requisite of such a challenge. The best way to practice is by duelling. We'll start with you two. Time for a proper Hogwarts welcome. You may begin. Not bad for a beginner. Potions is one of the most challenging
and hazardous subjects taught at this school. Here you'll meet your professors
and learn to cast spells, grow magical plants, brew potions
and more. In between classes you'll be able to explore
the castle famous for its secrets, enchantments and mysteries. You'll discover dungeons and secret passageways, as well as challenging puzzles that will require magical skill
and a clever mind to solve. You may even find yourself
in iconic locations you've never been able to explore before. It's the late 1800s, so while the common rooms and classes may be familiar,
most of your professors will not be. However, you may recognise a few faces. Do they always talk to you like that? All in good fun! Once Sir Patrick lets me join the Headless Hunt I'll be right there with them. This offering is sure to win them over. Don't forget why I'm here sir. You'll come to know this eclectic group
of talented witches and wizards in class and while completing side assignments
that are part of a special curriculum - one designed to help you catch up with
the other fifth-years at your own speed. Lumos Opportunities for adventure abound in the area
surrounding Hogwarts. The magical abilities you learn to master
through your schoolwork will soon become tested,
as you unravel a dangerous mystery by working alongside the accomplished
and yet enigmatic Professor Fig to try and discover
if the rumors of a mounting Goblin rebellion hold any weight -
and if the safety of Hogwarts lies in the balance. Opinions differ
as to how great a threat he really is. Ranrok's loyalists are capable
of so much more than people realise. The Wizarding World of this
era is fraught with dangers: creatures corrupted by a magical force,
powerful goblins, and sinister witches and wizards,
all willing to fight - even kill - to achieve their own goals. In fact, there's an uneasy alliance
between the Goblins and Dark Wizards... You said you could get to the child
when they came to Hogsmeade. That all you needed was a distraction. I gave you a distraction. I just watched a student
take down your distraction. Who is this child? What are you not telling me? ...but perhaps you shouldn't
involve yourself with that just yet. Let's go. Reparo! Enemies possess unique
defensive and offensive abilities, including Blasting Curses, Stunning
Spells, enchanted weaponry, and more. While some may attack directly, others
might enchant and incapacitate you. Mastery of the Shield
Charm allows you to deflect ranged spells and direct weapon strikes. Counter-attack with powerful
Stunning Charms, allowing you to follow up with extended
spell combinations. Students
who become particularly adept at spell-casting will find many ways
to exploit their enemies' weakness. Slam with Descendo, roast
with Incendio, devastate
your enemies using various Finishers. You can
even use the mysterious, powerful magic your professors do not understand
to obliterate your strongest foes. Mixing and matching dozens of spells will let you define your combat style; on your path to become the ultimate duelist. Perhaps you'd be good enough to blast each other
to pieces on your own time. In addition to classes and spells,
you'll have access to a deep set of upgrades, talents, and skills
to aid your progression as a wizard. Complete challenges
throughout the world to earn experience. Level up your abilities
by choosing talents to upgrade your spells, plants, and potions
to increase their power. Decide which talents best
fit your playstyle to allow you to focus on your favourite types of magic. You can also loot, buy,
or craft your own magical gear that will increase your offensive
and defensive capabilities in combat gear can be upgraded and specialised
to allow for greater abilities for your chosen playstyle. Use a strong, even motion
when crushing your ingredients Spells are not the only tools
at your disposal in combat; As you hone your wand skills, you can continue to further
your magical education at Hogwarts, progressing your development as a witch
or wizard. Brew potions that can increase your power
when you need a boost. Grow and deploy magical plants
to mob the battlefield and keep your enemies at bay. You can even unleash deadly Mandrake seedlings to incapacitate
unsuspecting enemies. In Beasts class,
you will learn about a variety of magical beasts
you might encounter both at school and as you explore the world
surrounding the castle and its grounds. The goal of today is to remind all of you
how to manoeuvre on a broomstick safely. Learning and mastering broom flight is highly recommended so that you may
travel around the world more quickly. I want you to do my Herbology
homework. You're despicable. Some abilities may be taught to you by students who become your friends. As you develop relationships
with these schoolmates, they can accompany you on your journey
as your companions and, over time, you'll learn their stories. This is our chance. Natsai Onai is a brave adventurer driven
by the justice she seeks. Poppy Sweeting has a kind heart and loves
magical beasts - connecting with them
more easily than with humans. But what happens now? Unafraid of detention
or breaking the rules... Sneaking in the Restricted Section again! ...is Sebastian Sallow a charismatic Slytherin... We've been over this boy. Hey! Shrivelfigs cannot reverse a curse. Nothing can. ...with a troubling family secret. The sooner you accept that reality
the better. You'll meet these students and more as you explore common rooms, hallways between classes, and regular gathering areas. Welcome to the Room of Requirement One of the most remarkable
secrets of Hogwarts is known as the Room of Requirement. You're introduced to this space
that seems to sense what you need and then provides it for you. Since you need to catch up to your peers, this room provides space for you to sow
and harvest plants, brew potions and upgrade your gear. A helpful house-elf named Deek helps
you discover vivariums that allow you to nurture
your own menagerie of magical beasts. What is it? Deek is not sure, only one way to find out. You can freely customise this space
to reflect your personality and magical specialties. Not everything you need
on your journey is available at Hogwarts. You'll want to visit the nearby
wizarding village of Hogsmeade, where loads of shops and vendors can provide you
with the supplies you require - from potion ingredients and recipes to seeds for magical plants
to all sorts of gear. But Hogsmeade also has its dangerous side. A band of Dark witches and wizards
emboldened by the turmoil of the times wander the village outskirts. You must avoid them - or defeat them. As you explore, you'll find the world
surrounding Hogwarts is alive with activity, wonders,
and areas of unusual interest. As the school year progresses,
dynamic seasons and climates will fill the sky with lightning or sunshine -
or coat the ground with snow or rain. Unique wizarding hamlets pepper
the countryside, each with vendors
and residents who have stories to tell and missions with which they could use your assistance. Be on the lookout for enchanting
magical puzzles that may very well have been designed by Merlin himself
when he was a student at Hogwarts. Magical beasts roam
the lands outside the castle walls. Some have been corrupted
by a mysterious Dark Magic; while others are at risk of poachers
and their traps. If you're feeling benevolent,
you can rescue them and restore them to health in the Room of Requirement. But there are dangers beyond
your understanding in the world as well. Dungeons and vaults hold perilous threats,
and also untold rewards. Be careful where you choose to explore as it may lead
you down a darker path. Avada Kedavra! Master spells. Befriend new allies. Journey across a landscape
never seen before. Uncover ancient secrets. Combat mystical threats. Learn long forgotten mysteries. Become the witch or wizard you want to be as you leave
your unique mark on the wizarding world. Here in Hogwarts Legacy.
