As a avid RPG player i concentrated on the easy EXP from the field guides etc on my first start because hell that's what you do..god was i wrong i ended up on an insanely high lvl while doing very low lvl quests and with enemies levelling up with you it meant i was fighting lvl14 goblins on a lvl2 quest and lvl22 for a lvl5 one
I tend to play differently. I will do story quests until i can do the puzzles and side missions, and don't advance the main story until there are no side missions left(except the key quests and other gather quests). I was 15 or 16 when i unlocked talents. I like walking, and delay the broom as long as i can, because as soon as i get it, the map "shrinks" and you can avoid almost all the dangers in the forbidden forest. But i play the game because i enjoy playing it. Not to "beat" it. But that is just me. To each their own :)
Disagree on the broom. Running on the ground showed me a lot more such as gathering ingredients, coming across enemies and animals, etc. when you fly too early as well as fast travel too much you miss a lot.
granted. but it also depends on what kind of player you are. if you are that person who fast travels a lot in open world games, then you will miss a lot of stuff with and without the broom, because you're simply not interested in the world you should be exploring. but if you love exploring open worlds, the broom is just a handy tool to travel long distances, if you have to.
I agree with running around. Spent my first 5 hours in the game exploring every nook and cranny of Hogwarts. Reached level 15 before I even got to Hogsmeade for the first time.
Here are my 10 tips: 1. First do the assignments to get the room of requirements and attend the beast class. Once you attend that class you can capture beasts and means you can now do the money making method of capturing beasts and selling them at hogsmead, you should capture a pair of every single animal you need the resources of all of them to max out your gear. thankfully there are the eye chest which when you go invis you can grab 500 gold from and these will fund your quests for starters. Grab the moonstone generator and the largest of plant pots and grab seeds and potion recipes. 2. Next thing you do is do the races for weekes and buy the broom upgrade it makes your broom faster and that's always useful. Third thing you do is learn to use the loom and get ambush or unforgivable by grinding chests of camps. 3. upgrade your gear asap, Ambush trait lets you play like a skyrim sneak archer one shotting stuff it works with everything including plants unforgivable is the same damage but you need to apply curses and is only with the dlc if you dont have it get ambush it's the most damage invis potions with maxima you're easily killing spreeing on hard dozens of enemies. 4. Then grab all the hogsmead and hogwarts demiguise to unlock alhamora rank 2 and then visit every town to get the rest of the demiguise to unlock alhomara rank 3 you want this because many legendary chests and behind this. 5. READ. A bunch of secret is in notes laying around that either give you goodies you won't see with revelio which you should grab the upgrade of btw. 6. Breeding animals gives a bunch of passive xp and gold so you can have 4 breeders active a dozen more hours into the game if you are keeping up with the breeders and you'll go from lvl 30 to 40 easily. 7. There are two gear sellers one in hogsmead and edgar adley in aranshire who you have to finish his quest for in order for his shop to be available. The thing is adley will consistently keep spawning new gear every day and he is special his legendary gear at lvl 40 is the highest stat gear you can get letting you break 700 offensive rating if you don't know what this means it means a sneak attack troll dies to diffindo in one hit without a maxima potion. 8. You many easily kill enemies by disabling them before, see you got glacius and aresto momentum both of these stun enemies and you can walk to them and petrificus if no one sees your whoever is left is disabled. This means with 4 enemies you can transform 1 into a barelly throw him into another 1 killing 2 and then stun the other two with glacius and aresto and just use petrificus. 9. Fall damage works in the game try to find a high ground and acio at an edge lets you kill people with ease to fall damage. 10. Lord of the shore is great in combat just running behind them and spaming the button you have for petrificus lets you petrify enemies before they react and who is left can be charged to die. He lets you cheese trolls, groups of spiders and most of ranrocks loyalists or poachers.
I think one of the more clever features the Devs put into this game is the ability to change the appearance of your good armor/clothes/etc. based on anything you've had in your inventory at one time. This way, you can make your best offense/defense gear look like that look you like with lesser items. It figures into the tip about selling your gear frequently. Don't be afraid to get rid of that cool-looking piece that doesn't have the best stats. Just turn the corresponding better piece into that other look.
It also plays into the level scaling with the gear. Since you don't need to worry about your good looking stuff having good stats, you aren't punished at any point for opening up chests "early" in the game. Even the legendary chests just guarantee legendary loot, you can get legendary loot from any other source but just at the mercy of RNG. If you see loot, just get it.
While I agree with most of these, don't under estimate the power of going by foot. Not only do you get a more atmospheric perspective but there is so much hidden on the ground that simply flying everywhere you would miss most of it. Plus at some point you will unlock the ability to press down your dodge button for a burst which covers more distance than when you run so you can keep pressing this button to dash along . Once you have cleared an area out by all means then use your broomstick.
I do the lumos paintings, flying books and gobstones side quests before I go to Hogsmeade. These open up a lot of useful floo points as well as providing a ton of XP from guide pages picked up along the way. I also collect all the guide pages in Hogsmeade before fighting the troll. That puts me at around lvl 12-13 for the troll fight. After that my priority is main quests, assignments, relationship quests, then other side quests, and I never come up against a lvl-locked quest. Confringo is learned from Sebastian (it's a curse) the 1st time you visit the Undercroft, not from an assignment.
Don't explore, when you first start the game you should focus on questing. while doing that you will open the world up, make money, unlock the game, get your broom, revealing and exploring the world it's a byproduct of playing the game. You would be wasting your time if you just flew around revealing the map when you're going to do that anyway by questing. I mean you do you you bought the game but that's just how I like to play
You’ve said it! I did the same, I tried to explore and did all the quest like a routine. This will impact the way you play and enjoy the game. When in doubt, go for classes and story related quest that gives you access and new spells.
Also note that there is a softcap on the level determined by the progress in the main missions. Another thing is: up your lockpicking (aloho mora) spell quickly, as there are many locations where your progress is blocked by locks and one has to return there later.
The soft cap isn't really that bad, and it is really a cap based on field page completion. Once you complete all of a certain challenge series, you have to do a different challenge series in order to keep getting xp. So for example, there is only so much xp from field pages inside Hogwarts. You will get a bit of xp per page and then the completion bonus for the challenge milestones, but the pages give zero exp once you finish the last challenge milestone. In my first playthrough, I was level 33 when I finished the ranrok storyline and was left with just the great feast post-game quest. On my second playthrough, I'm level 30 and haven't reached winter at all yet. If you want to keep leveling up early in the story, you have to venture farther from the castle and areas that you are guided to by the story quests and do a lot more.
I would personally say that in my experience, exploring earlier is a good thing. While you do fine a lot of puzzles you can’t complete yet, they get marked down in your map so there is not nearly as much backtracking as you’d think. The field guide pages themselves are also easier to find when traveling on foot (at least in my experience) and so I found a lot of them earlier, and now, maybe mid way through the game, I only have another thirty to find with the vast majority of them at hogwarts. Traveling around and exploring will also allow you to level up more, and get a better feel for combat, so personally, I’d suggest exploration earlier, rather than later, but it comes down to how you like to play your games. Being something of a completionist, but not like to backtrack a whole lot, I enjoy the fact that I had a chance early on to begin collecting things like the pages, which are certainly the most numerous of the collectibles, and begin completing a lot of the challenges
I agree to some extent. the pages can be annoying in Hogwarts, if you have to backtrack them. in the open world they are marked on your map, which actually is a bummer as absolutely ZERO exploration goes into them. just revelio once on your broom and EVERYTHING is marked on your map in a huge radius. I didn't enjoy that at all as it makes collecting everything just like checking off a list of to-dos. the most annoying thing for me are the Merlin trials as there are WAY too many, imho. everything else is fine :)
@@TheGameSenseiYT I completely agree about the Merlin trials, those things are littered around the entire map, but there are only like eight types of puzzles, so they’re easy but repetitive, and the biggest problem for me is that you have to have enough of the plant needed to activate them to do all of the puzzles, which is normally fine, but that meant for me that I now have precious space in my room of requirement specifically tasked for growing that one herb when it could be used for many of the other plants needed for my potion ingredients, so kind of annoying
I agree about the mallowsweet, but you won't be needing any ingredients for your potions very soon. just buy the conjuration for the jumping pot and place 3 of them in your RoR and voila: more potions then you can possibly drink at the ready in just a few hours.
@@TheGameSenseiYT Whoa. Is it worth doing that? I looked at that jumping pot but it costs 3000 for the conjuration, which is way out my league right now.
It’s important to do the side quests as you go to progress into the main story smoothly. if you don’t you will need to complete certain ones all at once. Plus it helps to level you up for when you unlock traits.
Agreed on the "stick to the main story" suggestion. If there was a reputation mechanic or the loot was a bit more enticing, I might say otherwise. The lack of those would be my 2 biggest criticisms of the game. If you're not so much into the "Barbie" aspect of the game, just roll through those main quests.
true. absolute hardcore potter fans can appreciate the world much more than 'the average rpg-player'. one of my biggest gripes with the game is - aside from the lacking gear system - that the open world outside of Hogwarts isn't just as exciting as the school itself. it's a good, decent open world, but it's still missing the excitement of exploration, mainly because the game tells you EVERYTHING. Revelio on the broom is just nuts.
@@TheGameSenseiYT Yep... they nailed Hogwarts, IMO. It's impractically massive like in the books, but not so much that you feel like you're being run to death. But the outside, particularly the southern zone, doesn't seem to have gotten as much love. Still, I can appreciate their priorities in that respect. Hogwarts had to be perfect.
I used the broom to unlock every fast travel green glo. I realize the game is so easy, you don't need to loot every chests or plants. After unlocking Room of requirement, I enjoy organizing how my pot is place. It's relaxing and rewarding to look at your own finished setup with green plants everywhere.
explore early as well as quests.. you need to get to the merlin trials asap.. after that dont skip anything.. you may miss a quest if you do.. also stay on foot unless your in a hurry.. you will get far better game experience fighting the enemy and unlocking the various challenges associated with it..
If your gear slots are full on the biggest chests, you need to weight pros and cons of destroying a piece of gear and lose out on the money for said gear vs what you *could* be getting in that chest - which could suck as gear but be more valuable when sold than what you just destroyed.
Totally agree my highest character basically got flying when she at level 17. She explored everywhere and did several side quests. So as this points out stick to the main quest line until you get flying and finishing up the initial Room of Requirement. Also by sticking to the main quest line you will be able to unlock those Talents. My above character had 12 Talents built up by the time I was able to place them. Now I do recommend that you do the first two Trials to Merlin since that will unlock 4 more inventory slots. As from the above video you only start out with 20 inventory slots and that includes what ever you are wearing (I.E. 6 slots) so actually you only have 14 slots. So sell that gear since getting that message does suck. Also I recommend putting off the Arthmancy doors since it is very possible that gear found in them will be base on your level. So putting these off until mid game or after you gotten far along with the Main Questline. But I am loving this game but with my above character certain fights would have gone better if she had done more of the Main Questline. Those side quests will always be there but having certain Talents and Spells at level 5-7 will make life easier than getting them at level 15-18. I just might restart several of my other characters (have one for each House) since they are still low enough. But my Gryffindor character (I.E. above character) and Hufflepuff character are at or above level 10. So when I do get back on with my Hufflepuff she will only do Main Quests until she gets those Spells and Talents they are so important.
absolutely right. talent points make all the difference if used correctly. and I would also try to do even more Merlin trials since they can be spotted and solved pretty easily. 👍
@@TheGameSenseiYT Also if you do wait until you are higher level and unlock them do not use all of those Talents just yet since you will want to get those missing spells so that you can align Talents to them. But getting those extra spells slots will improve your game since you will not have to change out your spells like I had to. F1 useful spells and F2 & F3 put those combat spells. Not sure I will need F4 since not going to pick up the Dark Spells which is where I would put them if I did get them.
I definitely would recommend getting all 4 slots, since you can put useful combinations for combat in them. e.g. Accio + Inferio + Depulso + Descendo/Confringo
I'm 38 by time I had my room and broom I had 25k gold saved up from side quests and selling gear and the eyeball chests. But yes main missions til you can't then either decide to explore or not you'll have to be in the autumn season which is halfway through the game before you get all the spells you can besides the curses which you won't get last one til your almost done with whole game its fun to play with when finishing side stuff but would've been nice to have sooner than endgame.
You mentioned I should attend classes regularly. Will the main quest drive me to all classes, or is there some mechanic I am unaware of where I should be going to classes under my own steam outside the quest line?
it will drive you to all classes, but it‘s easy to stray off the main path when completing side quests and exploring the world. which is totally fine - but I definitely recommend always doing the classes first, as soon as you get the quest.
You won't be able to open the treasure chest with the big eyeball and big loot until you become invisible approach the chess with the invisibility spell.
I happened to discover that on my own 😂😂. I was just chillan walking around invisible and I stumbled upon the chest and I’m like huh so that’s how u do it 😂😂
That thing where you lose loot seems like a bug, hopefully they will fix it quickly. Hope the also fix the thing where everyone just disappears at night, just makes the game seem unfinished. I’m loving it though!
I think he mentioned you lose loot because he did not know about the treasure chest so he put a whole different opinion on what's going on the game where really nothing's going on. You're just playing the game wrong.
@Carlos Cruz I don't think so. You are talking about another form of chest. There are those chests with the eye, but you always only get 500 gold out of them. then there are the big loot chests where, when your inventory is full when you loot them, you loose the loot.
Make sure you have any empty inventory slot before opening a legionary chest. If you go sell some things and come back the chest is open and item gone.
good vid. I'm on my fourth run. I concentrate on unlocking spells and features which advanced my player. Room of requirement is great for upgrading abilities and making potions etc
Tip 1 is just the wrong way to play this game. You’re not getting another Harry Potter game next year. Slow down. Don’t take on the next main story mission until you’re bored or finished with the current stuff.
If u decide you want to 100% the game use ancient magic on everything, but it only counts for non quest related enemies but the animagus enemies do count in both their human and wolf forms. I got the trophy after using it on the wolf when i had killed many wizards with it
the first time i encountered the chest bug was when I was doing the hidden herbology lab(or whatever its called) side quest for Duncan. There was a chest in the greenhouse right after getting out of the tunnel system. After seeing I couldn't get the loot I restarted to an autosave and when I did, it spawned me inside a building and the floor was gone. I couldn't do anything and then suddenly my character started falling under the world. Ended up having to go two autosaves back to be able to play the game again.
On my third character I created, I left the 3rd crossed wands dueling quest alone until I unlocked Crucio. I was disappointed that the game wouldn't let me use Crucio in the duel.
Think I’m doing it right then I do lowest level quests and travel based on distance so feel I’m In good spot. But the game obviously scales a level 2 quest I did had lvl 17 enemies , so lot of fun like Skyrim
enemies are getting scaled based on your level. if you are overleveled for a quest, they are around your level. but if your character level does not greatly exceed the recommended level, enemies are scaled above you. that can be quite the challenge. I once fought 2 trolls for about 15 minutes 🤣
Nö, Confringo you acquire through Sebastian, I know that because I've just had that side quest with him and the undercroft and there I just learned confringo.
Playing mid 2024, and you still lose the loot if your gear slots are full. Learned my lesson that one time though, making regular trips to vendors now 👍🏻
You can do that if you can stand Professor Weasley‘s disappointment when she sees how pathetic your field guide is. And my second game, I plan on handing her a field guide with every single page in it. This means taking my time on the main quests. Yes, it takes a bit longer to get your broom in the room of requirement, etc., but for me, it just feels better to time the main quests out with the school year.
I just made this same mistake, I’m level 16 and only just got the broom and the RoR. However this my not be a bad thing, level 28 you get the spell that makes end game a lot more fun.
IMO for your first play through explore asap....like as soon as you reach Hogsmeade go explore and practice combat. I was around lvl 17-20 before I even got the broom and was pretty comfortable fighting multiple enemies. At this rate, it makes combat much more enjoyable. The main quest becomes more fluid that way too
But you'll just need to retread half the game anyway to actually interact with everything you are exploring. Couldn't disagree more. Unlock the game mechanics first, then explore so you don't just get frustrated constantly finding objects and casting all your beginner spells only for nothing to happen. Nothing you encounter in the main story quests before Room of Requirement need more than your most basic spells to overcome.
@@sithlord7m nah. i thoroughly enjoyed just exploring soon as i got the chance. didn't have any negative impacts for me. original og book reader here lol
Edit: Found out that the quests don't vanish with season changes. Doing the activities and side quests before the main missions is normal. I've done it too many times, hahaha. I read that the only way you can miss out on a side quest is when the in-game season changes. So, just keep a heads up. 😆
that is true to some extent. the problem is, that you would be SO overpowered right away, as you're practically overleved right from that start, because exploration is just too much fun. and combat is just boring, if you don't have to pay attention, at least to some degree.
@@TheGameSenseiYT I know.... I only hope they take their time.... I don't know how many times we've seen this.... Small team, big project, blowing everyone with an amazing achievement, only to get buried In overworked because of all expectations on their "next step", that only ends up leading them to a halt, or to deliver a half-baked project that will take years of repatches and rework to become "acceptable" at best.... I really don't envy the people in this industry.... And to make matters worse after all that stress and hard work someone just pirate their creation....
Yeah... no... you don't learn Confringo from ANY teacher. But actually from a student. Just thought I'd say that you don't need any assignments for that one.
You didn't get the point of the video AT ALL, did you? Also, tell me how little you know about Hogwarts Legacy without telling me how little you know about Hogwarts Legacy. You can't speedrun Hogwarts Legacy because you literally have to do EVERYTHING on the map, to finish the game.
Did you get to start your magical journey early already? Are you enjoying your time in Hogwarts?
Finished it in 40hr I just wish there was more missions at the school in the end game.
As a avid RPG player i concentrated on the easy EXP from the field guides etc on my first start because hell that's what you do..god was i wrong i ended up on an insanely high lvl while doing very low lvl quests and with enemies levelling up with you it meant i was fighting lvl14 goblins on a lvl2 quest and lvl22 for a lvl5 one

FOMOOOOOO. I feel ya 😅
You can always use Revelio during flight and go to interesting spots while in the air.
I agree with running around. Spent my first 5 hours in the game exploring every nook and cranny of Hogwarts. Reached level 15 before I even got to Hogsmeade for the first time.
Here are my 10 tips:
1. First do the assignments to get the room of requirements and attend the beast class. Once you attend that class you can capture beasts and means you can now do the money making method of capturing beasts and selling them at hogsmead, you should capture a pair of every single animal you need the resources of all of them to max out your gear. thankfully there are the eye chest which when you go invis you can grab 500 gold from and these will fund your quests for starters.

4. Then grab all the hogsmead and hogwarts demiguise to unlock alhamora rank 2 and then visit every town to get the rest of the demiguise to unlock alhomara rank 3 you want this because many legendary chests and behind this.
5. READ. A bunch of secret is in notes laying around that either give you goodies you won't see with revelio which you should grab the upgrade of btw.
6. Breeding animals gives a bunch of passive xp and gold so you can have 4 breeders active a dozen more hours into the game if you are keeping up with the breeders and you'll go from lvl 30 to 40 easily.
7. There are two gear sellers one in hogsmead and edgar adley in aranshire who you have to finish his quest for in order for his shop to be available. The thing is adley will consistently keep spawning new gear every day and he is special his legendary gear at lvl 40 is the highest stat gear you can get letting you break 700 offensive rating if you don't know what this means it means a sneak attack troll dies to diffindo in one hit without a maxima potion.

9. Fall damage works in the game try to find a high ground and acio at an edge lets you kill people with ease to fall damage.
10. Lord of the shore is great in combat just running behind them and spaming the button you have for petrificus lets you petrify enemies before they react and who is left can be charged to die. He lets you cheese trolls, groups of spiders and most of ranrocks loyalists or poachers.
thank you for this! starting my game soon (:
I think one of the more clever features the Devs put into this game is the ability to change the appearance of your good armor/clothes/etc. based on anything you've had in your inventory at one time. This way, you can make your best offense/defense gear look like that look you like with lesser items. It figures into the tip about selling your gear frequently. Don't be afraid to get rid of that cool-looking piece that doesn't have the best stats. Just turn the corresponding better piece into that other look.
transmog is really great in that game 🙌
It also plays into the level scaling with the gear. Since you don't need to worry about your good looking stuff having good stats, you aren't punished at any point for opening up chests "early" in the game. Even the legendary chests just guarantee legendary loot, you can get legendary loot from any other source but just at the mercy of RNG. If you see loot, just get it.
Pretty much every loot-based game offers this these day. It is pretty standard.

Not only do you get a more atmospheric perspective but there is so much hidden on the ground that simply flying everywhere you would miss most of it. Plus at some point you will unlock the ability to press down your dodge button for a burst which covers more distance than when you run so you can keep pressing this button to dash along . Once you have cleared an area out by all means then use your broomstick.
Get on your broom, us revelio. It exposes everything over a HUGE area and you dont have to be a mile in the air. No need to do it all on foot.
I do the lumos paintings, flying books and gobstones side quests before I go to Hogsmeade. These open up a lot of useful floo points as well as providing a ton of XP from guide pages picked up along the way.

@@TheGameSenseiYT Whoa. Is it worth doing that? I looked at that jumping pot but it costs 3000 for the conjuration, which is way out my league right now.
It’s important to do the side quests as you go to progress into the main story smoothly. if you don’t you will need to complete certain ones all at once. Plus it helps to level you up for when you unlock traits.
Agreed on the "stick to the main story" suggestion. If there was a reputation mechanic or the loot was a bit more enticing, I might say otherwise. The lack of those would be my 2 biggest criticisms of the game. If you're not so much into the "Barbie" aspect of the game, just roll through those main quests.
true.
absolute hardcore potter fans can appreciate the world much more than 'the average rpg-player'.
one of my biggest gripes with the game is - aside from the lacking gear system - that the open world outside of Hogwarts isn't just as exciting as the school itself.
it's a good, decent open world, but it's still missing the excitement of exploration, mainly because the game tells you EVERYTHING. Revelio on the broom is just nuts.
@@TheGameSenseiYT Yep... they nailed Hogwarts, IMO. It's impractically massive like in the books, but not so much that you feel like you're being run to death. But the outside, particularly the southern zone, doesn't seem to have gotten as much love. Still, I can appreciate their priorities in that respect. Hogwarts had to be perfect.
yes, and it is. wouldn't change anything in Hogwarts aside of maybe the difficulty of some puzzles.
@@TheGameSenseiYT by that I hope you mean make them harder
@@MineurFred567 oc
I used the broom to unlock every fast travel green glo.
I realize the game is so easy, you don't need to loot every chests or plants.
After unlocking Room of requirement, I enjoy organizing how my pot is place. It's relaxing and rewarding to look at your own finished setup with green plants everywhere.
Don't get broom early, but do upgrade it ASAP once you have it. Also, learn all three levels of Alohomora ASAP.
explore early as well as quests.. you need to get to the merlin trials asap.. after that dont skip anything.. you may miss a quest if you do.. also stay on foot unless your in a hurry.. you will get far better game experience fighting the enemy and unlocking the various challenges associated with it..
you can't miss any quests.
Just got the game and I'm about to dive in, thanks for the tip's I'll be using some of them along my journey.
If your gear slots are full on the biggest chests, you need to weight pros and cons of destroying a piece of gear and lose out on the money for said gear vs what you *could* be getting in that chest - which could suck as gear but be more valuable when sold than what you just destroyed.
Totally agree my highest character basically got flying when she at level 17. She explored everywhere and did several side quests. So as this points out stick to the main quest line until you get flying and finishing up the initial Room of Requirement. Also by sticking to the main quest line you will be able to unlock those Talents. My above character had 12 Talents built up by the time I was able to place them.
Now I do recommend that you do the first two Trials to Merlin since that will unlock 4 more inventory slots. As from the above video you only start out with 20 inventory slots and that includes what ever you are wearing (I.E. 6 slots) so actually you only have 14 slots. So sell that gear since getting that message does suck. Also I recommend putting off the Arthmancy doors since it is very possible that gear found in them will be base on your level. So putting these off until mid game or after you gotten far along with the Main Questline.
But I am loving this game but with my above character certain fights would have gone better if she had done more of the Main Questline. Those side quests will always be there but having certain Talents and Spells at level 5-7 will make life easier than getting them at level 15-18. I just might restart several of my other characters (have one for each House) since they are still low enough. But my Gryffindor character (I.E. above character) and Hufflepuff character are at or above level 10. So when I do get back on with my Hufflepuff she will only do Main Quests until she gets those Spells and Talents they are so important.
absolutely right. talent points make all the difference if used correctly.
and I would also try to do even more Merlin trials since they can be spotted and solved pretty easily. 👍
@@TheGameSenseiYT Also if you do wait until you are higher level and unlock them do not use all of those Talents just yet since you will want to get those missing spells so that you can align Talents to them. But getting those extra spells slots will improve your game since you will not have to change out your spells like I had to. F1 useful spells and F2 & F3 put those combat spells. Not sure I will need F4 since not going to pick up the Dark Spells which is where I would put them if I did get them.
I definitely would recommend getting all 4 slots, since you can put useful combinations for combat in them.
e.g. Accio + Inferio + Depulso + Descendo/Confringo
I'm 38 by time I had my room and broom I had 25k gold saved up from side quests and selling gear and the eyeball chests. But yes main missions til you can't then either decide to explore or not you'll have to be in the autumn season which is halfway through the game before you get all the spells you can besides the curses which you won't get last one til your almost done with whole game its fun to play with when finishing side stuff but would've been nice to have sooner than endgame.
You mentioned I should attend classes regularly. Will the main quest drive me to all classes, or is there some mechanic I am unaware of where I should be going to classes under my own steam outside the quest line?
it will drive you to all classes, but it‘s easy to stray off the main path when completing side quests and exploring the world.
which is totally fine - but I definitely recommend always doing the classes first, as soon as you get the quest.
@@TheGameSenseiYT Thanks for that. I think I strayed. Badly. I am level 14 and still don't have Talents yet. :(
Confringo is unlocked by completing a Sebastion quest, not from the teachers.
that is absolutely right, but my point remains valid nonetheless :)
You won't be able to open the treasure chest with the big eyeball and big loot until you become invisible approach the chess with the invisibility spell.
that is correct 👍
Yup and all they give so far is 500 Gold but the gear you find will help out with gold since this game does not hamper you in that department.
I happened to discover that on my own 😂😂. I was just chillan walking around invisible and I stumbled upon the chest and I’m like huh so that’s how u do it 😂😂
@@johnriffsrequintos1824 I didn't realise until the game told me 😆
In order to reopen the large chests, trash something from your inventory, save and return to title. When you reload it's openable again.
Most important one to do early is get the moon statues to got the unlocking spell as early as possible.
That thing where you lose loot seems like a bug, hopefully they will fix it quickly. Hope the also fix the thing where everyone just disappears at night, just makes the game seem unfinished. I’m loving it though!
absolutely loving it.. and let's be honest. for a game that size it's surprisingly polished 🙌
I think he mentioned you lose loot because he did not know about the treasure chest so he put a whole different opinion on what's going on the game where really nothing's going on. You're just playing the game wrong.
@Carlos Cruz I don't think so.
You are talking about another form of chest.
There are those chests with the eye, but you always only get 500 gold out of them.
then there are the big loot chests where, when your inventory is full when you loot them, you loose the loot.
Thanks for this! Very helpful. Back to the classrooms, it is.
Make sure you have any empty inventory slot before opening a legionary chest. If you go sell some things and come back the chest is open and item gone.
good vid. I'm on my fourth run. I concentrate on unlocking spells and features which advanced my player. Room of requirement is great for upgrading abilities and making potions etc
4th run? 🙌
very good 🔥
Tip 1 is just the wrong way to play this game. You’re not getting another Harry Potter game next year. Slow down. Don’t take on the next main story mission until you’re bored or finished with the current stuff.
Interesting. I’m 5hr in and just got room of requirements and the broom back to back.
If u decide you want to 100% the game use ancient magic on everything, but it only counts for non quest related enemies but the animagus enemies do count in both their human and wolf forms. I got the trophy after using it on the wolf when i had killed many wizards with it
This is the only tips and tricks for an early start that is fully valid on UA-cam. Each other one is confused.
thx 👍
the first time i encountered the chest bug was when I was doing the hidden herbology lab(or whatever its called) side quest for Duncan. There was a chest in the greenhouse right after getting out of the tunnel system. After seeing I couldn't get the loot I restarted to an autosave and when I did, it spawned me inside a building and the floor was gone. I couldn't do anything and then suddenly my character started falling under the world. Ended up having to go two autosaves back to be able to play the game again.
okay.. that's very weird. btw. that was the second chest where that happened to me, too.
@@TheGameSenseiYT next time it happens...try to fast travel to a foo flame. that what I did when that happened to me...
Completed rdr2 and can't find anything open world wise to even peak my interest now, hopefully this can somewhat.
We are on the same boat!
Try 'Enshrouded'. It has an excellent open world which is an absolute blast to explore, as long as you don't mind a little parkour.
I have 30h of gametime and about 50% in the menu. I agree that this is all good tips 😀
5:33 actually you unlock Confringo during the main quest "In the Shadow of the Undercroft" not from a professor assignment.
On my third character I created, I left the 3rd crossed wands dueling quest alone until I unlocked Crucio. I was disappointed that the game wouldn't let me use Crucio in the duel.
If anyone wants a broken OP dark wizard build let me know I play on hard and even bosses feel like I'm on easy mode with my build.
let's hear it. I am currently working on a video on this topic. but I'm always interested in new ideas :)
Think I’m doing it right then I do lowest level quests and travel based on distance so feel I’m In good spot.
But the game obviously scales a level 2 quest I did had lvl 17 enemies , so lot of fun like Skyrim
enemies are getting scaled based on your level. if you are overleveled for a quest, they are around your level. but if your character level does not greatly exceed the recommended level, enemies are scaled above you. that can be quite the challenge.
I once fought 2 trolls for about 15 minutes 🤣
I was level 30 before I unlocked broom an walked 90% of map. I enjoyed it way more then flying
Did you get disc or digital?
disc
You learn confringo from Sébastien when he shows you the undercroft for the first time. Not from any teacher or extra assignments
Nö, Confringo you acquire through Sebastian, I know that because I've just had that side quest with him and the undercroft and there I just learned confringo.
We need the extendable charm for our gear slots
Playing mid 2024, and you still lose the loot if your gear slots are full. Learned my lesson that one time though, making regular trips to vendors now 👍🏻
By hr 10 I was almost lvl 20 from doing side quests and other stuff
I think Stupefy should have been a stand alone spell, not one linked to Protego.
I did the exact same thing as u played 8 or 9 hours til I got flight and r o r
Easy fix legend chest situation is load autosave. Game saves like every 5 min or less.
You can do that if you can stand Professor Weasley‘s disappointment when she sees how pathetic your field guide is. And my second game, I plan on handing her a field guide with every single page in it. This means taking my time on the main quests. Yes, it takes a bit longer to get your broom in the room of requirement, etc., but for me, it just feels better to time the main quests out with the school year.
I just made this same mistake, I’m level 16 and only just got the broom and the RoR. However this my not be a bad thing, level 28 you get the spell that makes end game a lot more fun.
which spell would that be? 😅
@@TheGameSenseiYT Take your pick :) Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing Curse
but you can get them much earlier... I finished the campaign with level 27
@@TheGameSenseiYT Oh I didn't know that, I will look into it now.
play the main campaign and ALWAYS do the side missions with Sebastian as soon as they become available
what a relaxing voice you have.
thank you :)
I ran around so much i was lvl 18 before i learned how to be invisible xD n thek when i unlocked talents hoo boy so many to slot in beginning
🤣💪
Wow, only twenty items! Thanks for the tip, I need to get selling already!
IMO for your first play through explore asap....like as soon as you reach Hogsmeade go explore and practice combat. I was around lvl 17-20 before I even got the broom and was pretty comfortable fighting multiple enemies. At this rate, it makes combat much more enjoyable. The main quest becomes more fluid that way too
But you'll just need to retread half the game anyway to actually interact with everything you are exploring. Couldn't disagree more. Unlock the game mechanics first, then explore so you don't just get frustrated constantly finding objects and casting all your beginner spells only for nothing to happen. Nothing you encounter in the main story quests before Room of Requirement need more than your most basic spells to overcome.
@@sithlord7m nah. i thoroughly enjoyed just exploring soon as i got the chance. didn't have any negative impacts for me. original og book reader here lol
I really suck at flying, I can't do the races, I can't control the broom when I push the boost button.
Edit: Found out that the quests don't vanish with season changes.
Doing the activities and side quests before the main missions is normal. I've done it too many times, hahaha. I read that the only way you can miss out on a side quest is when the in-game season changes. So, just keep a heads up. 😆
not true. all side quests carry over
@@thegamesenseiyt Yea, I found out that what I read was not true. I'll edit my comment, though. I don't like giving out wrong info.
Those broom controls are just wrong on PC. The races are sooo frustrating.
with controller also not so great
something that i dont like is the scaling on enemies, make you feel leveling up useless
that is true to some extent. the problem is, that you would be SO overpowered right away, as you're practically overleved right from that start, because exploration is just too much fun.
and combat is just boring, if you don't have to pay attention, at least to some degree.
It works well in this game. Games like WoW, its terrible in.
This helped
I’ve been playing for months I just found out I can pull out the broom lol I walked and teleported everywhere
ha - I just got my broom after 9 hours, I was wondering when I would get it.
Besides tip 4 and 5 the other tips are opion based and not relevent to everyone imo ;)
Merlin trials open more loot slots.
they do 👍
Confringo is not learned by you professors. It’s worth by helping Sebastian.
You say in the intro "If I had the chance to start the game over again" You do, just delete your saves and have at it
Great explanation got yourself a new sub ✅
thanks and welcome 👋👋
If this is all it takes to get a sub I need a UA-cam
@@frankdamici5865 it’s all about effort and momentum .
@Frank D'Amici no. You also have to be a decent human being, so good luck with your new channel.
Correction: Confringo is not taught by the faculty.
Turn off the mini map for a more immersive experience
kinda awaiting for the new game plus or a DLC to get out to get back for a second run...
no DLCs planned as of now. unfortunately
@@TheGameSenseiYT I know.... I only hope they take their time.... I don't know how many times we've seen this.... Small team, big project, blowing everyone with an amazing achievement, only to get buried In overworked because of all expectations on their "next step", that only ends up leading them to a halt, or to deliver a half-baked project that will take years of repatches and rework to become "acceptable" at best.... I really don't envy the people in this industry.... And to make matters worse after all that stress and hard work someone just pirate their creation....
You learn confringo from a side quest with Sebastian
that's absolutely correct. my point that you should attend classes to learn essential spells holds up nonetheless :)
Great tips! A lot of fans are playing HOGWARTS LEGACY! That tell me that we want more of Harry Potter movies! Indeed!
They have fixed the looting glitch.
I found the room of requirement within the first hour... Bahah😂
that's how it's done 😬
You get confringo from doing a quest with Sebastian
Yeah... no... you don't learn Confringo from ANY teacher. But actually from a student. Just thought I'd say that you don't need any assignments for that one.
that's true. you learn it from Sebastian.
but even though it might not be for this spell, my point is still valid for many other spells in the game.
Bro question? Are you German? I listen a small accent😅 anyways, your video helped a lot thank you
yes I am. 👍
you're welcome. glad I could help 🙌
Honestly, DON'T do anything this guy says. It's a single player game worth about 30 hours of gameplay and this guy wants to speed run it.
You didn't get the point of the video AT ALL, did you?
Also, tell me how little you know about Hogwarts Legacy without telling me how little you know about Hogwarts Legacy.
You can't speedrun Hogwarts Legacy because you literally have to do EVERYTHING on the map, to finish the game.
I definitely disagree. You do every side quest no matter what because you want your experience to go up.
It's not about doing them or not it's about the order you do them.
Sounds weird but I learned Confringo from Sebastian and not from a professor.
so basically you want everything unlocked after 5 min of gameplay
yeah, that's exactly what I said 🙃
whats the haircut in the thumbnail lol
Sebastian teaches confringo
My thing is what’s with the outfits? You can sell in your inventory just to go into your other selection of inventory.
what do you mean?
the transmog system?
Promo-SM
So...don't be ignorant. Got it lol.
TLDR: Stay in school kids!
