@@jessikawhitetigress2766 they are both the hardest one because they spawn just one each time, so be patient. I hunted shiny female unicorn for two days now, still none.
This game is AMAZING!!!! What do you think of using Felix Felicis to get a shiny? I only tried once and it worked for me for the Unicorn. I'll do some more experimenting on it.
After u get ur first graphorn from the main quest, I went back to get another one and I wanted it to be the opposite gender and it turned out to be a shiny and of the gender I was looking for
Thanks for this video! I got a shiny Fwooper and Jabberknoll yesterday without realizing it was a thing. Just saw them in between leveling up with battles. I'm on a hunt for the rest. For me it's prolonging the game- I'm 97% done and though it's been a lot of playing hours, I'm a bit disappointed I've almost finished.
Not sure if it's the same for every game, but in Cragcroftshire at the bottom of the map on the little island, there's a Niffler den that always spawns 4-5 shiny Nifflers for me every time I visit!
Yes. At the same den I got three. Perhaps some dens have higher/fixed shiny rates. In which case someone aught to check the dens to see which they are.
Solid tips! Also, you might notice most of the shiny beasts in the game are white or off-white, like they're albino. This is because that's exactly what the game actually calls them. There are sidequests where you can go and catch special instances of the beasts, and the Diricawl one "Birds Of A Feather" is for a "shiny" one named Gwyneira. The quest giver describes her as albino. [EDIT: Since this comment I’ve been corrected, Gwyneira doesn’t have the shiny symbol. She does look remarkably like a shiny Diricawl does, so perhaps they’re still meant to be albino, but that quest doesn’t make it as conclusive as I thought.]
@@ShowTime03 Oh. Well that completely negates my comment lol, thank you for the heads up! I didn’t keep her and I must not have checked her info in my inventory during the quest… that’s weird though, she does seem to have the same exact coloration as the shiny female Diricawl do.
@@Krowphay Yeah, that diricawl and Biscuit the mooncalf both have separate colors from the usual beasts just because they’re quest related. Same with Caligo, the hippogriff. Shiny Hippos are black, yet Caligo doesn’t get the shiny emblem, even tho he is in fact (by game standards) shiny.
@@ShowTime03 There is a Hazel the Unicorn as well, quest giver is in Hogsmeade. Her coat is a brighter white than other unicorns, but she also gets no shiny symbol (Makes more sense in this case as shiny unicorns are golden lol)
@@Krowphay Yeah, I finished the whole game so i got all the quest beasts. I’m doing a shiny hunt. Only need 3 more shiny beasts. After that ill try to get all shiny family for all of them. I got shiny adults and offspring hippogriffs, Unicorns and mooncalves
Shinny mooncalf imo is the best BUT funny is that I kinda find nonshinny much better looking in most species since shinies are mostly white while having a very color rich animals is really nice. Also, I spent 2 minutes trying to spot a shinny Niffler on a coast before finding the summon feature.
You can also get shinys by breeding too. I'm sure the odds of that are way lower then finding them in the wild but the first time I bred Highwing to Caligo (only male Hip I have) I actully got a shiny Hip baby and its so cute. I was also compleatly shocked at this because the odds of me breeding and getting one. I just make a joke saying that I should have gotten the gray Hip since Highwing is white and Caligo is black. (I really wish I could add a pic to this bc I feel like no one will belive this)
I’d like to say that changing the difficulty to story also makes lock picking a breeze. I just don’t like lock picking in this game and on story it just auto solves all locks
yeah if im randomly battling and come across a wild lock i will play the mini game. but if im looting the hell out of a town, the school, or beast farming for some cash i set it to story
If you're playing on PC, there is a mod that auto-picks all your locks which seems to be way more realistic with the spell. I don't think that Wizards need to actually pick locks after casting Alohomora.
It feels like they wanted to do a minigame out of it whatever it takes, but imo it fucking suuuuuucks, nobody got time for that shit. I am so glad, you can skip them on story difficulty. The developers really thought of everything here lol
afaik shinies sell for the same money, or do you have some other info on that since you said to farm the shiny mooncalf den for money? also you dont have to load, you can also restart from last save, which is less clicks, also its best to use the buttons for map and settings when playing on pc, which are by default M and P and not use the menu, as again, it saves click.
I didn't know story mode made capturing beast super easy, I have just been hitting everything with leviosa twice before bagging them, using disillusionment to get close enough, the second leviosa lifts them higher and gives you enough time to catch even Unicorns.
I've caught literally everything save the graphorn with one glacia then swiftness to them if needed and bag, even unicorns fall to one glacia long enough to bag.
Captains Log : Year 27 Somehow I’ve lived long enough for Pokémon Shiny Hunting and The Hogwarts Universe to some how mix. All is good. I REPEAT, I have found the Alpha timeline. The search is finally over. Captain Signing out.
You do know beast prices (shiny or not) are all the same. 120 each. So you can literally just farm puffleskeins instead literally right outside hogsmeade
Pro tip: Just capture it, fly to nearest floo flame and wait. It will spawn a new Graphorn every time since you captured the previous one. (200+ yards away from den spawn works best to garauntee it spawns back after waiting.) I usually go to the Ashwinder Ruin near by the ridge you were at in the video. So much faster than saving and loading back in. You can sell the non-shiny for gold so it's not a waste to capture them and a good way to make easy galleons if needed. I got both male and female shiny in about 40 tries, which only took a little over an hour with this method.
I didn't know you actually have to fight the Knaphorn in order to then be able to capture it. I thought you were supposed to do the _opposite_ of fighting them. I tried waiting them out first, but that clearly didn't work, and I just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do to get them to leave hostile mode (I was thinking along the lines of what we did with the hippogrif that Deek first takes us to; remember, we had to bow to show respect).......Now I know what to do. Thank you so much for this guide, 04AM. Great video! 👍
Thanks so much for this guide! No joke same thing happened to me... got Lord of the shore... went back to grind a shiny. Got a female. Awesome. Well now I want a shiny breeding pair. I kid you not I rerolled and got a shiny male first reroll. Back to back shiny rolls. My character must have chugged a gallon of Felix Felicis!
Just so you know, with breeding, any newborn has a chance of being shiny regardless of parent's shiny status. Two non shiny can birth a shiny and two shiny can birth a non shiny. Still cool you have both male and female shiny so good for you :)
For beast that only spawn in one, you can skip time, save n load and if what spawns isnt shiny, you can go back n load the manual save, there will be a new spawn again. You can do this for any amount of them but usually i only do it for groups of 1 or 2 cus for those im usually only trying to get the shiny.
Imo there should be a option to swich your mounts from default to caught ones, i get i would kinda ruin the preorder bonus, but for real it feels like it should be an option, and its kinda the biggest reason for serching for shiny variants apart from seling, hopefully someone will fix it with a mod
Haha I stop playing pokemon few days ago because got tired of shiny hunting but after finding a shiny mark on a beast I caught. I became a pokemon trainer again 😂😂😂😂
A lot of bullshit at the start, but the reset technic is smart, and you can easely reconise a female graphorn from a male, the horns are differents, longer and pointing at the back for a male, smaller and pointing to the sides for a female (not to mention Lord of the River, or else, don't remember his name in english, who's the only one with this type of horns, teeth and face in general, he is the one you can find and mount in the quest, the one who unlock the graphorns [graphorns are locked until you win him] and you obviously cannoy have him in shiny, like the phoenix)
I actually found all of my shine he's pretty fast. The hardest one low was the shiny Threstral. Took me two days to get 1 to spawn. I'm currently writing this minutes after I got one. Next is Diricawl. That should be it until I can get the Graphorn. I don't do the waiting thing at all. I have to go to the den capture all of them. Fast travel away but keep reasonably close by. Rinse repeat. I think my favorite shiny is got to be the Shiny Unicorn. I got that on my fifth trying. I like it because it's gold and not gray or white. It's an almost completely different color.
@@djrosette That one was the easiest. I ended up having to chase all around the forest having to fight spider and other wizards to get it. Doesn't matter does literally the next day after I wrote my comment. For some reason my Xbox giving me notifications about having 2 saves one in the cloud and on my Xbox. After about a week of getting that notification I got sick of it so I picked one. I chose the cloud because it doesn't make any sense for it to be saved on my console anyway cuz that's what I got a drive for. When I chose the cloud it reverted my game by at least 35 hours. Is there any progress I made in that time had regressed as well. Lost all my shinies I got in that time spells, missions I progressed on. The only shiny I had left was the unicorn thankfully. But the most infuriating part about it was that all the achievements I got in that time we're still on my Xbox. So my Xbox still remembers what I did in that time. Fucking infuriating. Haven't played it since. To bad cuz I was really really enjoying the game.
@@zackaryscoles6839sorry to hear you lost your shinies. Though I'm probably either do like you did ie go all around the forest and fight wizards (which I don't mind fighting wizards since I'm also working on my dueling challenges) or go around the map collecting field pages then returning to the unicorn den. I got a shiny kneezle the other day and I don't want to lose it. PS I tried the wait, save, and reload method multiple times but it still hasn't worked in getting other shinies to appear. So I'm stick with either the capture then go far away and return or the just go far away and unlock more floo flames/collect statues then return methods depending on the dens 😅
My 1st unicorn I ever caught was a shiny 😂😂😂 I didn't even know it until I saw this video. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY HAD SHINIES!!! This is a dope feature!!
It sucks you can only catch a graphon at the end of the game. I finished the game and didn’t have enough time to enjoy The Lord of the shore, smashing the poachers around Hogwarts. Now without any quests it’s kinda boring to play
Hardest shiny to find top three in order of shortest to longest, Female Shiny Graphorn (got 4 males before), Female Shiny Unicorn (3 males 2 in a row before I got a female), and the toughest to find was a Male Shiny Fwooper it took hours and I found 6 females before I got a male to spawn. Also I found the shiny moon calf nest by accident, and a shiny kneazle nest in cragcroft shire.
I had no idea shines were rare the first time I went to the unicorn den I found a shiny thought that it was a fifty fifty chance got it and named her chalice but now that I know this stuff I am gonna go hunt a shiny graphorn
I have been trying to get a darn shinny fwooper for at least 2hr now, using this method and no luck. Got a golden unicorn with pretty much no effort but a lousy fwooper seems impossible to get 🤬
They missed opportunities with shiny beasts. Theres no reason to hunt them, they dont have more value, they have the same materials, and you can only have a limited number of beasts. If they produced special materials that upgraded your gear further, or sold for more, or even had an achievement or quest related to collecting a shiny of each beast; it would have made it more engaging rather than empty feeling. Especially since once you buy each pot and and potions table Theres literally no reason to make money and once your gear is upgraded theres no reason to visit your beasts
Hi @Dustin Berman ! :D So... I would like to start by giving a practical example with a franchise that we all know and adapts perfectly to this situation, POKEMON! The spawn rate of shiny pokemons in this wonderful game is extremely lower than in Hogwarts Legacy! All Shiny hunters (let's face it, there are many based on the content we see on the internet) lose hours, days, weeks to capture their shinys and they capture their pets by: . have higher base stats? (shiny pokemons dont have higher base stats) . give a good reward or a really good trade? (shiny pokemons dont give you rewards and no trade NPC recognizes a shiny) . have rare or unique moves? (shiny pokemons dont have rare or unique moves) . complete shiny pokedex? (there is no shiny pokedex in the game) Now, we're at the point I want to get to... No player will want a shiny to receive something in return, but simply because they have it and show that they have something rare in the game! I believe this is the real reason that captivates players to have these beauties! LOVE!
I found that trying to "Wait, save, load" always produced the exact same Graphorn if you didn't battle it, but I found a way to completely cheese the fight. When he's on that ledge, do you see the ledge to the upper right. As long as you don't go to the edge of it, you can just spam basic cast and red spells and it will just stand there Roaring at you till it's defeated. Then hope down and catch it. I've done it successfully on three of my playthroughs, and have even posted a video of it on my channel.
Wait Save Load will definitely randomize the next spawn, while you have the chance the same color/gender variation spawns a couple times in a row. Fighting it will take a while so I definitely recommend just reloading as it literally takes a couple seconds to reset them ^^
@@insertclevernamehere1186 So you wasted a minute every time is what you're saying. Sounds like a giant waste of time if you're grinding for a breeding pair of shinies. Wait -> Save - > Reload last save definitely randomizes the spawn, even if you're standing so you're looking directly at the animal as you spawn in. I spent 4 minutes there, probably 20 or so resets, got 4 shinies.
Instead of all that just stand a little way away from, for example, the graphorn, drop a save then just fly in. If it’s not shiny, just reload and fly in again. No need for opening the map-time skip- save game - load game. Easier and more efficient.
So the region determines all spawn chances for shiny beasts? Its not entirely random then its more so its every areas spawn group is random rather than every beast den being standalone
I’m playing on ps5, the “shinies” are the ones with a white star next to their name correct? I get the same price, 120 g for them as I get for all the beasts regardless of colour or species! Currently I have bred 3 shiny mooncalves, 1 shiny jobberknoll and a shiny Hippogriff, all gave the same price of 120 g. So my query is, what is the benefit of farming shinies apart from the fact that they are all white?
My very first time going and seeing a group of "tamable creatures" was those fluffy cats. I immediately noticed one with a "Shiny like symbol." But seeing how it was my first time outside the castle.... I couldn't tame anything. ..... yeah. My first ever time and I SWORE something had to be special about it because all the other times nothing had thar symbol, even other times of the sane species. Tried telling friends, not sure they believed me. But this video will prove it. ;u; Been busy irl from serious stuff, so I can finally get back into the game.
I have shineys of every beast I just need a male purple toad and a female unicorn and the babies for each set and I'm done tho I didn't know about the save when I was doing it so it took alot longer lol
I came here just to see if I was crazy or if shinies were just easy to find. I’m late to the Hogwarts game, but have had a super easy time finding them. I’ve got shinies of every beast possible and got most of them on the first or second try. 😅
1st playthrough while doing a quest with Natsai & walking by some thestral and she said something along the lines that they’re beautiful and looked on my left & was like, look at that ! That shiny is freaking beautiful 😂❤️🔥✌🏻
That Seems like alot? I just go to the Den and if there's no Shiny, I go to Closest FlooFlame and Wait then Fly Back to said Den and it's Reset!! Have a Shiny Couple and One Baby for Every Beast, except Phoenix of course!!
The very first thestral i caught was a shiny. I made a joke about it being shiny not knowing that they were actually a thing in the game. I play pokemon as well, and that is the only shiny i knew of at the time. But thankfully i did keep the thes.
I got 2 shiny male graphorns but I've been wanting a shiny female to mate with lord of the shore but now I want at least 2 shiny female to mate with the other shiny to make a shiny baby lol. I hope that's how it works? I got a shiny baby hippogriff by mating highwing with Caligo
There aren't Gold beasts, just some Shiny ones that assume the golden color. Some beasts may have a slightly golden tone to then in some of their normal color variations aswell but thats ordinary.
You talk about becoming SO rich by catching shiny beast and sell them. all beast has the same sell price 120,- it does not matter if it is shiny or not.
Here's my Ultimate Shiny Beasts Hunting Guide for Hogwarts Legacy with everything you need from finding them to catching every single one as quick as possible!

What is the point of shiney creatures? They don't sell for more...
@@levans71 Pride. Because it's hard to get :D
I followed everything you said and i get no shiny what so ever i wait then save then load and nothing its always the same unicorn or graphorn
@@jessikawhitetigress2766 they are both the hardest one because they spawn just one each time, so be patient. I hunted shiny female unicorn for two days now, still none.

Same
RNGesus looked down on you with favour that day
Same thing here. Then I bred it and got a shiny baby Graphorn.
I bree a pair of normal unicorn and the offspring is suddenly shiny xD
@@MirulH_Jfor some reason i keep breeding my unicorns and the offspring comes out gold but it doesnt have the shiny symbol
Just got a M&F shiny hippogriff at the same time!! Only took 7-8 try’s using the save method. So happy with them
Thanks for this video! I got a shiny Fwooper and Jabberknoll yesterday without realizing it was a thing. Just saw them in between leveling up with battles. I'm on a hunt for the rest. For me it's prolonging the game- I'm 97% done and though it's been a lot of playing hours, I'm a bit disappointed I've almost finished.
Not sure if it's the same for every game, but in Cragcroftshire at the bottom of the map on the little island, there's a Niffler den that always spawns 4-5 shiny Nifflers for me every time I visit!
That would certainly explain why their were 5 shiny niffler when I went there. There was also a kneazle den with 3 shinies nearby...
Yes. At the same den I got three. Perhaps some dens have higher/fixed shiny rates. In which case someone aught to check the dens to see which they are.
If it and this video is wrong 😅, the shiny ones have specific spawn for guaranteed shiny 😂
Thanks, now I have a frickin ARMY of shiny Nifflers lol
Theres a kneazle den north of Cragcroftshire with guaranteed shinies
I bred highwing and the black hippogriff you get from the preorder twice and got a shiny offspring both times
I got 1 shiny 1 regular so far
I love onyx!
I didnt even know shinies excisted! Just went and checked and it seems I have two haha! Time to go and hunt em all
Solid tips!
Also, you might notice most of the shiny beasts in the game are white or off-white, like they're albino. This is because that's exactly what the game actually calls them. There are sidequests where you can go and catch special instances of the beasts, and the Diricawl one "Birds Of A Feather" is for a "shiny" one named Gwyneira. The quest giver describes her as albino.
[EDIT: Since this comment I’ve been corrected, Gwyneira doesn’t have the shiny symbol. She does look remarkably like a shiny Diricawl does, so perhaps they’re still meant to be albino, but that quest doesn’t make it as conclusive as I thought.]
But she doesn’t have the shiny symbol.
@@ShowTime03 Oh. Well that completely negates my comment lol, thank you for the heads up! I didn’t keep her and I must not have checked her info in my inventory during the quest… that’s weird though, she does seem to have the same exact coloration as the shiny female Diricawl do.

Holy cow, after doing this for what seems like hours, I finally got a shiny hippogriff just by doing this! Thank you so much for this method!
Got them all graphorn was the hardest and if your going for rare unicorn in the forbidden forest if you see a rainbow over the nest means its a rare
Shinny mooncalf imo is the best BUT funny is that I kinda find nonshinny much better looking in most species since shinies are mostly white while having a very color rich animals is really nice. Also, I spent 2 minutes trying to spot a shinny Niffler on a coast before finding the summon feature.
Maybe that's because shinys are albinos. Very rare genetic disorder and white.
thy need small price increase
You can also get shinys by breeding too. I'm sure the odds of that are way lower then finding them in the wild but the first time I bred Highwing to Caligo (only male Hip I have) I actully got a shiny Hip baby and its so cute. I was also compleatly shocked at this because the odds of me breeding and getting one. I just make a joke saying that I should have gotten the gray Hip since Highwing is white and Caligo is black. (I really wish I could add a pic to this bc I feel like no one will belive this)
Same happened to me. That’s the only shiny I have lol. But the offsprings don’t grow up so that kinda sucks
Breeding highwing and caligo always produces a shiny hipppgriff
I got a shiny unicorn from breeding. It’s crazy
Also, breeding 2 shinys will always produce a shiny offspring.
I’d like to say that changing the difficulty to story also makes lock picking a breeze. I just don’t like lock picking in this game and on story it just auto solves all locks
god tier thank you
yeah if im randomly battling and come across a wild lock i will play the mini game. but if im looting the hell out of a town, the school, or beast farming for some cash i set it to story

nah bro u r right, they all sell flat 120. no special price. shiny is just a novelty item
I didn't know story mode made capturing beast super easy, I have just been hitting everything with leviosa twice before bagging them, using disillusionment to get close enough, the second leviosa lifts them higher and gives you enough time to catch even Unicorns.
Ya this is the method I came up with as well, as soon as I tested the disillusionment on the animals and it worked I knew I was in business lol
I've caught literally everything save the graphorn with one glacia then swiftness to them if needed and bag, even unicorns fall to one glacia long enough to bag.
Use glacius it's hands down the best besides story mode
You guys are all sleeping on Arresto Momentum.
Descedo + Arresto Momentum is also really good for bigger beasts.
Lol I was looking for a shiny Graphorn for a while, found your guide and went to the spot you said. Got it immediately after, very lucky. Thanks!

@@cainwallace in that case use reverse psychology and keep saying to yourself that you won’t get it this time.
I found 4 shiny nifflers at one location and it was my first time finding them 😂
Epic! 👌
Odd to say selling shinnies will make you rich, as they sell for the exact same price as every other beast.
Thanks to this guide I got a shiny couple of graphorn in less than 20 min 🤩 thanks

Is there any progress I made in that time had regressed as well. Lost all my shinies I got in that time spells, missions I progressed on. The only shiny I had left was the unicorn thankfully. But the most infuriating part about it was that all the achievements I got in that time we're still on my Xbox. So my Xbox still remembers what I did in that time. Fucking infuriating. Haven't played it since.
To bad cuz I was really really enjoying the game.
@@zackaryscoles6839sorry to hear you lost your shinies. Though I'm probably either do like you did ie go all around the forest and fight wizards (which I don't mind fighting wizards since I'm also working on my dueling challenges) or go around the map collecting field pages then returning to the unicorn den. I got a shiny kneezle the other day and I don't want to lose it.
PS I tried the wait, save, and reload method multiple times but it still hasn't worked in getting other shinies to appear. So I'm stick with either the capture then go far away and return or the just go far away and unlock more floo flames/collect statues then return methods depending on the dens 😅
Not sure if this was patched, but I have encountered 2 graphorns at the same spawn. My memory sucks but I’m 80% sure of the same for unicorns
I've already wasted so much time shiny hunting in pokemon, now I have to shiny hunt in Hogwarts Legacy. LOL
My 1st unicorn I ever caught was a shiny 😂😂😂 I didn't even know it until I saw this video. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY HAD SHINIES!!! This is a dope feature!!
You can also travel to the closest flooflame wait and go to the den. If the flooflame is close its faster sometimes
It sucks you can only catch a graphon at the end of the game. I finished the game and didn’t have enough time to enjoy The Lord of the shore, smashing the poachers around Hogwarts. Now without any quests it’s kinda boring to play
I had no idea about these. guess I have to go let all my current catches go and look for those +'s. thanks for the advice.
Hardest shiny to find top three in order of shortest to longest, Female Shiny Graphorn (got 4 males before), Female Shiny Unicorn (3 males 2 in a row before I got a female), and the toughest to find was a Male Shiny Fwooper it took hours and I found 6 females before I got a male to spawn.
Also I found the shiny moon calf nest by accident, and a shiny kneazle nest in cragcroft shire.
Depends on your luck, its 50/50 to get a male or female - Graphorn for sure is hardest, then Unicorn then Hippo etc
I actually breeded high wing and Caligo both nun shiny beats abd and got a shiny baby hippogriff. Big W
I feel so bad catching a bunch and selling them. It makes you no different than a poacher. 😂😂
Besides the color…what’s the point of this? Aren’t they worth $120 like every other beast
Great video! Thanks man!
You bet!
First Thestril I caught was a shiny one. Was walking past during a quest ‘follow person’ prompt
You don't actually need to wait over and over again. Just wait once, save, then reload. If its not shiny, just reload the save to reroll the spawns
I had no idea shines were rare the first time I went to the unicorn den I found a shiny thought that it was a fifty fifty chance got it and named her chalice but now that I know this stuff I am gonna go hunt a shiny graphorn
This is all good to know but what exactly does a shiny animal do? Produce more resources?
I got all the shiny moon calves in the den once, kept them all, and their all in one vivarium... I took a while to name them all individually...
I have been trying to get a darn shinny fwooper for at least 2hr now, using this method and no luck. Got a golden unicorn with pretty much no effort but a lousy fwooper seems impossible to get 🤬
The area you found the shiny Nifflers is where i found 5 in one go xD on accident lol
Thats crazy 🤣
@@04AMofficial ikr!!
There’s also a kneazle den up at the northern part of poidsear coast. It has a guaranteed all shinies.
I don't see any kneazle den in Poidsear
@@tynytian It’s very North. Kinda up to the right. It looks like an upside down U on the map.
@@DJLlama12 I found it. Its actually north north-west of Cragcroftshire
I just got a pair of every Kind yesterday, the last niffler took me another hour. 10 hours total.
Sadly no phoenix tho
after i watched this i immediately tried a hippogrif snd no luck then i went to unicorn and sure enough it was a shiny
When I get this game I'm getting a shiny Mooncalf cause they're cute lol
The bird i had to catch when doing the tutorial for beast was shiny
They missed opportunities with shiny beasts. Theres no reason to hunt them, they dont have more value, they have the same materials, and you can only have a limited number of beasts. If they produced special materials that upgraded your gear further, or sold for more, or even had an achievement or quest related to collecting a shiny of each beast; it would have made it more engaging rather than empty feeling. Especially since once you buy each pot and and potions table Theres literally no reason to make money and once your gear is upgraded theres no reason to visit your beasts
yeah, sad it is nothing special. there r idiots who clickbait say shiny give this that special bonus blabla.
Hi @Dustin Berman ! :D
So... I would like to start by giving a practical example with a franchise that we all know and adapts perfectly to this situation, POKEMON!
The spawn rate of shiny pokemons in this wonderful game is extremely lower than in Hogwarts Legacy! All Shiny hunters (let's face it, there are many based on the content we see on the internet) lose hours, days, weeks to capture their shinys and they capture their pets by:
. have higher base stats? (shiny pokemons dont have higher base stats)
. give a good reward or a really good trade? (shiny pokemons dont give you rewards and no trade NPC recognizes a shiny)
. have rare or unique moves? (shiny pokemons dont have rare or unique moves)
. complete shiny pokedex? (there is no shiny pokedex in the game)
Now, we're at the point I want to get to...
No player will want a shiny to receive something in return, but simply because they have it and show that they have something rare in the game! I believe this is the real reason that captivates players to have these beauties!
LOVE!
@@MarcoFader they arent even rare
@@MarcoFader uncommon at best
And some are just plain ugly. A room full of the same is almost worse when it gives you many colors.
Thanks for the good explanation
I am going to try the it is wait then save then load? Thank you :) Wait Save Load?
Do shiny beats cost more than regular ones? Seems like they’re all 120g.
I just got to the point of beasts this is so cool to know!
I found that trying to "Wait, save, load" always produced the exact same Graphorn if you didn't battle it, but I found a way to completely cheese the fight. When he's on that ledge, do you see the ledge to the upper right. As long as you don't go to the edge of it, you can just spam basic cast and red spells and it will just stand there Roaring at you till it's defeated. Then hope down and catch it. I've done it successfully on three of my playthroughs, and have even posted a video of it on my channel.
Wait Save Load will definitely randomize the next spawn, while you have the chance the same color/gender variation spawns a couple times in a row. Fighting it will take a while so I definitely recommend just reloading as it literally takes a couple seconds to reset them ^^
@04AM when I tried, I got the *exact* same colour and gender 5 times in a row.
@@04AMofficial also, cheesing the fight from the ledge barely takes a minute.
Me with maxed out stats and gear spaming Confringo, Diffindo and Bombarda: We don't cheese here
Joking lol, sometimes cheesing can be real funny
@@insertclevernamehere1186 So you wasted a minute every time is what you're saying. Sounds like a giant waste of time if you're grinding for a breeding pair of shinies.
Wait -> Save - > Reload last save definitely randomizes the spawn, even if you're standing so you're looking directly at the animal as you spawn in. I spent 4 minutes there, probably 20 or so resets, got 4 shinies.
Too bad it does not work anymore. Tried 10 times and they keep respawning the same beasts all the time
it works, but only if the skipping progess is at day, in night doesn't change
Instead of all that just stand a little way away from, for example, the graphorn, drop a save then just fly in. If it’s not shiny, just reload and fly in again. No need for opening the map-time skip- save game - load game. Easier and more efficient.
So the region determines all spawn chances for shiny beasts? Its not entirely random then its more so its every areas spawn group is random rather than every beast den being standalone
I’m playing on ps5, the “shinies” are the ones with a white star next to their name correct? I get the same price, 120 g for them as I get for all the beasts regardless of colour or species! Currently I have bred 3 shiny mooncalves, 1 shiny jobberknoll and a shiny Hippogriff, all gave the same price of 120 g. So my query is, what is the benefit of farming shinies apart from the fact that they are all white?
They're totally useless, and you're right, all the beasts sell for exactly the same price, the video is misleading.
My very first time going and seeing a group of "tamable creatures" was those fluffy cats. I immediately noticed one with a "Shiny like symbol." But seeing how it was my first time outside the castle.... I couldn't tame anything.
..... yeah. My first ever time and I SWORE something had to be special about it because all the other times nothing had thar symbol, even other times of the sane species. Tried telling friends, not sure they believed me. But this video will prove it. ;u;
Been busy irl from serious stuff, so I can finally get back into the game.
I snagged a Shiny Thestral while out with Poppy. Couldn't believe it xD
That's odd. I have two shiny thestrals and they're both bluish white, like they were albino.
I found a shiny thestral and it’s gold and it is so cool
Can the offspring from your breeding grow up?
I have a beautiful shiny hippogreif that I want to ride.
My first and only shiny is Thestral. Is that good?
I have shineys of every beast I just need a male purple toad and a female unicorn and the babies for each set and I'm done tho I didn't know about the save when I was doing it so it took alot longer lol
I came here just to see if I was crazy or if shinies were just easy to find. I’m late to the Hogwarts game, but have had a super easy time finding them. I’ve got shinies of every beast possible and got most of them on the first or second try. 😅
Good work
I got a shiny moon calf in the beasts tutorial
1st playthrough while doing a quest with Natsai & walking by some thestral and she said something along the lines that they’re beautiful and looked on my left & was like, look at that ! That shiny is freaking beautiful 😂❤️🔥✌🏻
yea i saw the cross beside the gender of my best. was wondering wad it was. :)
im not even kidding, after watching this video, and doing the tactic, i got 2 SHINY graphorns IN A ROW both of opposite genders, guess what im doing
That Seems like alot? I just go to the Den and if there's no Shiny, I go to Closest FlooFlame and Wait then Fly Back to said Den and it's Reset!! Have a Shiny Couple and One Baby for Every Beast, except Phoenix of course!!
Played through the game normaly - already got a shiny Hippogryph and Thestral
The very first thestral i caught was a shiny. I made a joke about it being shiny not knowing that they were actually a thing in the game. I play pokemon as well, and that is the only shiny i knew of at the time. But thankfully i did keep the thes.
my man went from minecraft dungeons content to hogwarts legacy content
I got 2 shiny male graphorns but I've been wanting a shiny female to mate with lord of the shore but now I want at least 2 shiny female to mate with the other shiny to make a shiny baby lol. I hope that's how it works? I got a shiny baby hippogriff by mating highwing with Caligo
Does this work for ps5 or just pc?
3:48 wait so where is that mooncalf den?
the gold beasts are as rare as the shinny ones? i heard something like this, do you know if is this really the case?
There aren't Gold beasts, just some Shiny ones that assume the golden color. Some beasts may have a slightly golden tone to then in some of their normal color variations aswell but thats ordinary.
I'm one of the ones that doesn't understand, why shinies they cost the exact same is it price different changed or something?
So: Find a spot with multiple spawns nearby, Wait, Manual save, Check and go back to safe! Thank you ;)
is it possible to get more than one phoenix in the game?
Skipping time does work on mooncalves since they only spawn at night.
Thanks I got that graphorn the third times
Can we catch a shiny grap horn for main quest ??? And ride a shiny ??
Found 2 random Shiny Nifflers at the same spot, male and female, today and didn’t even realize there were shinies in this game until now lol
You talk about becoming SO rich by catching shiny beast and sell them. all beast has the same sell price 120,- it does not matter if it is shiny or not.
if you breed shinys do you get another shiny?
What is shiny what does that mean I'm so confused like how can you tell if it is shiny
I was breeding unicorns after one of deeks quest then when it done comes out a golden unicorn 😅
I didn't know about shinies in this game until I went to my first kneazle den and got one and looked up why it had the symbol
