A comprehensive analysis of Hogwarts Legacy reveals that the infamous Avada Kedavra spell is supposed to deal 10 million damage. A user named blahable on the official Hogwarts Legacy Reddit has impressively broken down the exact stats for every spell, talent, trait, and more. after going through the game’s raw files. There’s even a spreadsheet if you want to take a look. Either way, the long post is great, especially for players who like to try out different mage setups in-game.
Hogwarts Legacy Analysis Explains High Loot Rate
According to the Reddit post (which deserves to be pinned by the way), the next most damaging spell after Avada Kedavra is a tie between Ancient Magic and Petrificus Totalus, both of which do a paltry 250 damage in comparison. That being said, 10 million damage is definitely more than enough for instant death in Hogwarts Legacy, although I guess all you need to survive Avada Kedavra is 10,000,001 hit points, isn’t- it not?
The post also provides specific numbers on traits, talents, offensive and defensive scaling, player health up to level 40, and how enemies scale for the four difficulty levels. There’s even a separate analysis on broom upgrades if you’re interested.
An interesting fact is that every chest in the game has a 75% chance of dropping an item of the same level as you. This completely explains why players seem to switch gears so often in the game.
