WHETHER YOU’RE PLAYING ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY
OR JUST WANT TO GET A LEG UP IN COMBAT SOMETIMES THE ONLY THING TO DO IS GRIND OUT A FEW LEVELS. MY NAME IS CODIAK…THIS IS LEGACY GAMING…TODAY
I’M TEACHING YOU HOW TO GET OP EARLY IN HOGWARTS LEGACY. [TRANS] IT’S WORTH STARTING THIS VIDEO BY SAYING…THE
ONLY WAY YOU GET BETTER AT SOMETHING IS PRACTICE, AND NO AMOUNT OF GEAR OR TALENTS IS EVER GOING
TO REPLACE HARD WORK. HOGWARTS LEGACY COMBAT IS CHALLENGING, ESPECIALLY
ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN A FEW TIPS AND TRICKS WON’T GO A LONG
WAY TO MAKING THAT BITTER PILL A BIT EASIER TO SWALLOW. FIRST LET’S TALK TALENTS. THESE UNLOCK RELATIVELY EARLY ON IN THE GAME,
AFTER COMPLETING THE JACKDAW’S REST MAIN STORY QUEST THAT TAKES YOU THROUGH THE LARGE
SPIDER DEN. AT THE TIME OF MAKING THIS VIDEO TALENT POINTS
ARE LIMITED AND YOUR CAPPED BY THE MAX LEVEL WITHIN THE GAME. THAT MEANS YOU NEED TO MAKE SMART DECISIONS
ABOUT WHAT TALENTS YOU CHOOSE. HERE ARE A FEW CHOICES TO THINK ABOUT THAT
WILL GIVE YOU EITHER A MASSIVE QUALITY OF LIFE BOOST, OR WILL SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE UP
YOUR COMBAT GAMEPLAY: 1. SPELL KNOWLEDGE 1, 2, & 3 GRANT YOU ADDITIONAL
SPELL PAGES. THIS IS REALLY ESSENTIAL AS YOU BEGIN TO UNLOCK
MORE SPELLS, EXPERIMENT WITH COMBINATIONS, AND WANT TO STRING TOGETHER LONG SEQUENCES
OF ATTACKS. IT’S REALLY AN ESSENTIAL BUILDING BLOCK
FOR BUILDING OUT YOUR COMBAT ARSENAL 2. ANOTHER NO BRAINER IS BASIC CAST MASTERY IN
CORE WHICH REDUCES THE COOLDOWN OF YOUR SPELLS FOR EVERY BASIC CAST YOU LAND. THIS MEANS MORE HARD HITTING SPELLS OFF COOLDOWN
SOONER 3. ACCIO MASTERY IS ANOTHER SOLID OPTION. THIS WILL PULL MULTIPLE ENEMIES TO THE PLAYER
BASED ON HOW CLOSE ENEMIES ARE TO THE SPELLS INTENDED TARGET. THIS IS GREAT FOR SETTING UP BIG AOE ATTACKS
4. DISARMING CURSE IN THE DARK ARTS TREE IS ALSO
A GREAT EARLY PICK WHICH GIVES YOUR EXPELLIARMUS THE ADDED CURSE EFFECT WHICH INCREASES THE
DAMAGE THE TARGET TAKES WHILE CURSED 5. IN CONJUNCTION WITH DISARMING CURSE IS ANCIENT
MAGIC THROW EXPERTISE IN THE CORE TREE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO USE THOSE SAME WEAPONS
YOU JUST STOLE FROM YOUR ENEMIES AND CAST THEM BACK AS PROJECTILES INTO THEIR FACE. THIS IS A GREAT SYNERGY PICK.
6. FINALLY IN THE CORE TREE PROTEGO ABSORPTION
ENHANCES YOUR SHIELDING CHARM FILLING UP YOUR ANCIENT MAGIC METER FOR EVERY BLOCK AND PERFECT
BLOCK TO BE HONEST WE’RE SHOCKED THERE’S A SYSTEM
WITHIN SUCH AN ACCESSIBLE GAME THAT’S THIS RIGID. WE’D EXPECT TO SEE A RESPEC SYSTEM OR EVEN
A FULL POWER FANTASY EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU CAN UNLOCK EVERYTHING, BUT I’M ACTUALLY
OK WITH THIS. MAKING CHOICES IN AN RPG SHOULD FEEL LIKE
A BIG DEAL AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS BY RESTRICTING SOME OF THAT FREEDOM. DOES IT MEAN YOU CAN BECOME A WILDLY OVERPOWERED
WITCH OR WIZARD, NOT REALLY, BUT YOU CAN MAKE SOME SMART CHOICES EARLY TO GET YOURSELF CLOSER
TO DUMBLEDORE STATUS. [TRANS] ONE WAY TO ENSURE YOU’RE MAKING AN IMPACT
DURING A FIGHT IS BY HAVING THE RIGHT TRAITS ASSIGNED TO YOUR GEAR. TRAITS ARE PRETTY MUCH PASSIVE STAT BOOSTS
AND YOU’VE MOST LIKELY SEEN THEM ON A WIDE VARIETY OF GEAR YOU PICKED UP. THAT’S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT THE KEY TO
BECOMING OP EARLY IS HAVING THE *RIGHT TRAITS THAT ENHANCE THE ABILITIES YOU USE IN COMBAT. UNFORTUNATELY THERE’S NO GREAT METHOD FOR
HUNTING DOWN EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED…WELL NOT REALLY. FIRST OFF TAKE A LOOK THROUGH YOUR CHALLENGES
SOME OF THE CATEGORIES, MAINLY COMBAT, HAS A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS THAT REWARD TRAITS. OBVIOUSLY FOCUS ON TRAITS THAT ENHANCE ABILITIES
OR GIVE YOU BONUSES THAT WILL IMPACT YOUR PLAYSTYLE. THIS IS GOING TO DEPEND ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL
PREFERENCE SO I CAN’T GIVE YOU A SWEEPING RECOMMENDATION HERE. YOU KNOW WHAT SPELLS WORK BEST FOR YOU AND
YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TO HUNT DOWN TRAITS THAT ENHANCE THOSE SPECIFIC SPELLS. THE SECOND THING YOU’LL NEED TO DO IS CLEAR
OUT THE BANDIT CAMPS THAT DOT THE SCOTTISH COUNTRYSIDE. ONCE YOU CLEAR OUT THE RABBLE YOU’LL FIND
A LOOTABLE CHEST. THESE WILL ALWAYS CONTAIN A TRAIT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY
THAT TRAIT IS RANDOM. WE TESTED THIS IN MULTIPLE GAMES AND COULDN’T
COME UP WITH A DUPLICATE. IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT THAT
DOES MEAN A LITTLE MORE FARMING. LUCKILY THESE BANDIT CAMPS ARE EASY TO CLEAR
OUT AND ONCE UNLOCKED, THAT TRAIT CAN BE PERMANENTLY USED AT YOUR LOOM IN THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT. YES YOU WILL NEED TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE STORY BEFORE YOU UNLOCK THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT, BUT HONESTLY THE
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE GAME ARE LIGHT ON COMBAT SO IT HARDLY MATTERS GETTING OP BEFORE THEN. IF THE GOAL IS INCREASING YOUR POWER, TRAITS
ARE THE SINGLE BEST WAY TO DO THAT, JUST BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MAGICAL CREATURES IN
YOUR VIVARIUM TO KEEP YOU STOCK OF BEAST MATERIALS HIGH. RANK 1 TRAITS REQUIRE PUFFSKEIN FUR TO SOCKET
RANK 2 TRAITS REQUIRE DIRICAWL FEATHER TO SOCKET
AND RANK 3 TRAITS REQUIRE KNEAZLE FUR TO SOCKET YOU CAN TRACK THESE CREATURES DOWN DIRECTLY
FROM YOUR MAP SO IT SHOULDN’T BE TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE TO STOCK UP. [TRANS] SPEAKING OF CHALLENGES HERE’S SOMETHING
YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW. HOGWARTS LEGACY FEATURES 2 BATTLE ARENAS,
3 IF YOU PURCHASED THE DELUXE EDITION OF THE GAME. THESE BATTLE ARENAS ARE REPEATABLE, WHICH
MEANS THEY’RE FARMABLE, BUT WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE FARMING FOR. WELL IF THE GOAL IS TO GET OP QUICKLY THEN
IT’S IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON LEVERAGING THE MOST OUT OF THE ARENAS. YOU DO GET SOME XP FOR CLEARING EACH WAVE
OF ENEMIES BUT THE REAL BENEFIT HERE IS HOW EASY THE ARENAS MAKE COMPLETING CHALLENGES
SUCH AS “DEFEATING DARK WIZARDS” OR “DEFEATING SPIDERS” FOR EVERY TIER OF A CHALLENGE YOU
COMPLETE YOU GET A FEW HUNDRED XP AND THAT’S RATHER VALUABLE EARLY ON. IF YOU’RE LIKE ME AND YOU *DON’T WANT
TO HUNT DOWN FIELD GUIDE PAGES THIS IS A NICE ALTERNATIVE. THE ADDED VALUE HERE IS THAT THOSE CHALLENGES
ARE ALSO TIED TO COSMETIC UNLOCKS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY TRAIT UNLOCKS, WHICH AS WE KNOW
FROM A FEW MINUTES AGO, ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CHEESE THE SYSTEM JUST
DROP THE DIFFICULTY TO STORY MODE AND ROLL THROUGH THE ARENA. I’LL ADMIT THIS IS QUITE THE BEAR ON THE
HARDEST DIFFICULTY SO IF YOU’RE ONLY OBJECTIVE IS TO QUICKLY SUCK UP AS MUCH XP AS YOU CAN,
DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE THE SWITCH TO AN EASIER DIFFICULTY, THE XP GAIN IS EXACTLY
THE SAME. NOW ANOTHER THING TIED TO ALL OF THIS IS GEAR
WHICH IS SUCH A CRUCIAL PART OF PROGRESSION. I THINK IT’S ONLY RIGHT THEN THAT YOU’RE
EQUIPPED WITH SOME OF THE BEST SWAG A WIZARD CAN FIND. THERE’S TWO THINGS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
HERE. FIRST, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THESE ORNATE
CHESTS. THESE WILL ALWAY CONTAIN A LEGENDARY ITEM. NOW IT’S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT NO
MATTER THE CHEST, ORNATE OR NOT LOOT WILL ALWAYS DROP AROUND YOUR CURRENT LEVEL AT THE
TIME OF FINDING THE PIECE OF GEAR. THAT MEANS YOU CAN, IN THEORY. NOT LOOT THESE ORNATE CHESTS UNTIL LATER ON
IN THE GAME, BUT THAT’S NOT REALLY THE POINT OF THIS VIDEO NOW IS IT…THERE’S A DECENT
NUMBER OF THESE IN HOGWARTS AND IN HOGSMEADE, BUT MANY ARE LOCKED BEHIND RANK 2 AND RANK
3 LOCKS. WE HAVE A VIDEO LIVE ON THE CHANNEL NOW THAT
BREAKS DOWN THIS ENTIRE QUEST CHAIN, INCLUDING HOW TO FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO UNLOCK
THOSE ADVANCED SPELLS. WITH ALOHOMORA FULLY UPGRADED YOU NOW HAVE
ACCESS TO EVERYTHING WITHIN THE WIZARDING WORLD. MAKE SURE TO USE REVELIO TO LOCATE SOME OF
THESE ORNATE CHESTS FOR A QUICK LEGENDARY. NOW, CHESTS ARE ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT THEY’RE
A ONE AND DONE DEAL WE NEED A BETTER WAY TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET GEAR. THAT’S WHERE GLADRAG WIZARD’S WEAR COMES
INTO THE PICTURE. THIS SHOP IS CHOCK FULL OF POWERFUL GEAR AND
SINCE THE GOAL HERE IS TO GET OP QUICK, YEAH…NOTHING WRONG WITH PURCHASING WHAT YOU NEED. THE REAL CATCH HERE IS YOU NEED GALLEONS TO
PURCHASE GEAR. NOW SOME OTHER CREATORS WILL TELL YOU TO GO
HUNT DOWN EYE CHESTS, BUT HONESTLY, I’M NOT INTERESTED IN PLAYING HIDE-N-SEEK, I’D
RATHER FOCUS ON A RELIABLE WAY TO CONSISTENTLY MAKE COIN, AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS WHERE OUR
SIMPLE AND QUICK FARMING METHOD COMES INTO THE PICTURE. NOW I WON’T GO INTO EVERY DETAIL, YOU BETTER
BELIEVE WE ALREADY HAVE A VIDEO ON THE CHANNEL BREAKING THAT DOWN, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS
THAT WITH THIS METHOD YOU CAN GET TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLEONS AN HOUR, MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO PURCHASE WHATEVER YOU NEED. THIS ENTIRE LOOP OF GOLD FARMING AND BUYING
GEAR IS JUST INSANE BECAUSE GLADRAGS ACTUALLY RESTOCKS IT’S SUPPLY AND THAT MEANS YOU
CAN CONTINUE TO PURCHASE GEAR TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN AND THIS KEEPS UP WITH YOUR CURRENT
LEVEL. THAT’S ACTUALLY INSANE AND DOESN’T RELY
ON LUCK TO ENSURE YOU’RE GEARED OUT. [TRANS] WE HOPE THIS QUICK GUIDE TO GETTING OP HELPED
YOU GET A LEG UP IN YOUR HOGWARTS LEGACY ADVENTURES. IF YOU APPRECIATE GUIDES THAT GET STRAIGHT
TO THE POINT, AND YOU WANT MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS IN YOUR FEEDS DO ME A SOLID, HIT THAT
THUMBS UP AND CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING. LEGACY GAMING HAS A TON MORE PLANNED FOR HOGWARTS
