Hogwarts Legacy Tips And Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You About (Hogwarts Legacy Beginners Guide)

there are a lot of mechanics to consider in Hogwarts Legacy and while you're introduced to them gradually there are still a ton of things the game doesn't teach you while they are handy to know like what to pay attention to when picking your wand how to best manage all of your spells some tricks to make many of the puzzles a lot easier and way more so if you're excited to play Hogwarts Legacy and enjoy the content here on the channel then totally leave a like subscribe because we got way more spoiler-free tips and tricks videos on the game coming your way and let's go so the first two major decisions you need to make in the game are your Hogwarts house and your personal wand but these things happen very early in the story and while I think most people should already have an idea which house they want to play choosing your wand can be a bit tougher there are a lot of things that don't really have an impact like the Womp length and the pliability but what is of course important is the look of your wand there are a couple of different appearances to choose from but once you settle for yours you cannot change it again on that character which doesn't of course makes sense considering each witch or wizard has a sort of connection with their wand but what I didn't know is that it's actually only the top half of your want that matters because from various sources you can find these wand handles that change how the grip of your wand looks there are a lot of different styles to collect and as you can see my spiral shaped wand looks a lot different from when I first got it because of the avian handle I've equipped which you get from completing a simple side quest you can already do very early on you need to talk to a student named Cressida for a quest called flying off the shelves she's in the central Hall so talk to her then grab some flying books from the library close by and return them to her to receive this reward and there are tons more wand handles you can find through Quest or special chests so when picking your wand at olivanders the main thing you want to pay attention to when you are customizing it is the top half of the wand as that cannot be changed later and this wand will of course serve you well in both puzzle solving and in combat Jordan already mentioned this in his room few which I will link to in the video description but while the combat feels great juggling between your spells and your spell diamonds can be a bit of a hassle which is also true from my experience of course not at the beginning when you only have one spell diamond but as soon as you unlock the talent system through the main story you can unlock up to four of these which I totally recommend doing as soon as possible but can still be a little hard to manage at first especially while you're also still getting used to all the spells in Your Arsenal but the one thing that really helped me out in combat is making sure I'd bind the same color of spell to the same button in each Bell Diamond as you might know enemies in combat will have different colored Shields which indicate the type of spell needed to break them there's yellow for control red for offensive and purple for four spells and you'll want to break these shields as soon as possible with the correct spell otherwise you won't be able to attack that enemy so to make that as easy as possible I have my spell diamond set up so the triangle is always a control spell wear is always an offensive spell and X is always a force spell that way I can swap between these diamonds as much as I like for different spells but when I need to break a specific enemy Shield I only have to think about which button to press because the spell type is the same in all spell diamonds of course you can use another configuration that works for you and we will share some cool spell combos in a future video too but putting some forward planning into your spell button layout can really help you out another thing I found useful in combat but that the game doesn't tell you has to do with the Stupify spell this can only be cast after countering an attack first which you do by pressing triangle on PlayStation or Y on Xbox when this yellow Halo appears above your head if you hold instead of press the button you will deflect the initial attack and then counter with Stupify stunning an enemy which means your next hit on that Target will also deal more damage but what I quickly found out is that if you use your look on you can cast Stupify at the enemy you're currently attacking even if you bury another enemy's attack so if you're focusing on a single Target and then get attacked by someone else you can counter their attack a whole triangle and then go stupefy on your main target to stun them and deal increased damage if you'd rather stay inside the walls of Hogwarts while getting your bearings it's smart to accept every Quest you come across a lot of these especially in the castle it seems resolve around you collecting an object or a set of objects which will only appear once the quest is active in your log so while these the Delian keys do not show up at first if you accept the quest from a student in the Transfiguration Courtyard over here on the map next to the fast rifle point with the same name you are able to find them flying around the school the same is true for cressida's flying books in the library that we just mentioned zenobia's gobstones that she wants you to find so in short really smart to accept as many quests as possible even if you don't plan on completing them right away so you can come across all these different items naturally while exploring the rest of the castle and while completing quests will often reward you with new appearances for your collection or money the best rewards come from these big legendary chests they seem to reward a guaranteed legendary gear item which are sometimes unidentified after unlocking the room of requirement and these unidentified items always drop on the level you get them all so don't wait too long before you identify them because then they will become under leveled but definitely keep an eye out for the special chests that reward you with some of the best loot in the game and you'll also want to save before opening them because the load reward is random each time so if you're looking for a specific type of item like gloves or headgear you can just reload your safe open the chest again and then do this as many times as needed until you get an item you want and while those chests might be a bit rare there is one very common resource that you shouldn't ignore Field Guide Pages while these might seem uninteresting if you're not interested in the lore keep in mind that the only way to earn experience is by completing challenges in your wizard Field Guide so if you want to level up you have to do things that contribute to a challenge this also means that if you have completed a challenge let's say the one for killing dark Wizards that you won't earn XP from fighting these enemies anymore and the same is true for these Field Guide pages but completing these challenges will take you a bit longer and with each page giving you 80 experience each it's a very nice way to level up the reason we're pointing these out specifically is because they are very easy to get and there are a lot of them in the open world they're even marked on the map so then it's just as simple as reaching a location and casting revelio close to the glowing scroll outline to make the field guide page appear as a general rule of thumb you find these in front of special points of interest so make sure you use revelio often but in Hogwarts and hoaxmead there are also papers that require other spells to grab them again the process is really simple here if you have the right spell so it's practically free experience you've probably already come across these flying ones which are grabbed by quickly casting Akio on them but levioso another one of your first spells can also be used on these specific statues to make a field guide page appear you can easily identify these by the orb in their hand or the feather Mark at the statue's feet or you can of course simply cast ravelio to see if the object turns blue meaning it's interactable which will also show you these braziers that can be lit for a field guide Page by casting incendio or if you're a little bit further in the game you can also use confringo to light braciers that are a bit further away another type of puzzle you come across pretty often in the school are these magic dice puzzles they consist of a math equation with a question mark which you need to answer by flipping the dice in the wall to the correct symbol problem is when you first see them none of these symbols make any sense while I imagine that you could figure out what each one means by comparing all the different equations throughout the school you can also use the trick most people use to get through high school and grab yourself a cheat sheet it's located very close to the Divination classroom flu flame so instead of going up the staircase to the classroom we go through the door on the right of the blue flame and then go right on these wooden walkways where you will find one of the puzzles but more importantly in the chest next to it is a cheat sheet that has all images with all corresponding numbers next to it and you can see now that there is actually a logic to the system with a unicorn that has one horn representing the one and a spider with eight legs counting as eight but with this cheat sheet in hand you should easily be able to solve any of these puzzles you come across and the rewards are pretty good too as the ones we've opened always contained at least one chest with a gear item and one chest with a random decoration for the room of requirement and there will be even more of the castle to explore after unlocking the allahomura spell which you get from the main story and that allows you to open up different looks to get access to new rooms the mini game associated with this spell is actually really easy although the game doesn't do a great job of explaining it you simply move the outer wheel with the green spark which you control with your left stick and do this until the green wheels in the bottom right corner move as well now hold it there and start moving the red wheel with your right stick pay attention to the inner Wheels now and when they start turning and the green wheels are still moving as well you have to hold them in place for a bit and then the lock will open up it's also important to check if you've received any mail from time to time while the game does bring your attention to Outpost as you will see an exclamation mark in your menu if you've got a new letter from someone it does not tell you that opening these letters can sometimes be required to start a quest at one point during his playthrough Jordan was unable to proceed with the main quest but after opening a letter the next Quest appeared in his menu and he was able to continue so next to your quest look you should always check your Outpost from time to time to make sure there are no important quests waiting for you let us know if you found any other useful tips while playing Hogwarts Legacy and of course
