The rest of the players will have to wait until Friday February 10 or the later versions of PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, which arrive in April and July respectively.
Many new students will therefore approach the school of Hogwarts and the complete adventure of the open world that Avalanche Software has created, as we told you in our analysis. For that reason, and so you don’t walk around like a headless chicken (which Nearly Headless Nick would love to do), we’ve put together this essential tips guide, so you can make the most of every second at Hogwarts. Legacy and advance freely in the game.
It’s a spoiler-free guide to the story, so you can read it without fear even if you haven’t started playing. Let the magic happen!

1. There will only be one first day at Hogwarts, so make the most of it.
Professor Weasley’s line (yes, those Weasley) implies the first of the tips we will give you for playing, and that is that you take the opportunity to explore every corner of the school in the first moments of the game. As soon as you arrive at school, the vice-principal Weasley will hand you the Hogwarts Field Guide, a manual where you can track the locations, locations, equipment, abilities, and inventory you get in Hogwarts Legacy. To advance in the game you will need to level up with experience, and the easiest and fastest way to get it early in the game is to collect field guide pages that are hidden throughout the game. school, Hogsmeade and surrounding areas.
Most of the pages are obtained by spell I revealbut others will need stock, To break oh The old. These enchantments are unlocked throughout the story, so occasionally wander around and interact with blue marked items using I reveal. Another tip, if you hear the sound of a bell, there’s always a secret nearby.
2. Follow Merlin’s path.
He was the most famous magician in history for a reason. Merlín también fue estudiante en Hogwarts, y dejó su legado (nunca mejor dicho)por los terrenos del Valle de Hogwarts en form de sencillos puzles en los que tendermos que destructir objects, llevar luciérnagas a unas rocas marcadas o lanzar enormes rocas y encestar en huecos in stone. Either way, the price is worth it: Equipment inventory slots. Very important because it is really limited, and because it also represents the biggest source of income in the game.

Very important: As soon as you can, get seeds of soft purple In The Magic Neep Hogsmeade, because they are the key to activating the Merlin’s Trials.
3. Don’t spend your galleons like crazy, you’ll need them.
This may sound like stupid advice, but nothing could be further from the truth. Money in Hogwarts Legacy is (at least until the last third) a rare commodity and completely essential to advance. The vast majority of meercaderes has prices that can only be considered abusive, but there are some minimal purchases to be made, such as potting seeds and summoning spells. All this serves to transform the room of demand into a self-contained equipment factory adventures, like potions and battle plants.
The most convenient way to get money is sell equipment that we no longer use. Prioritize those marked (in that order) with green, blue, purple, and orange. Each will be more valuable than the last, so if you run out of space to carry more on a mission (see why it’s important to take Merlin’s tests?), you’ll have to destroy the less valuable ones.
The advantage of Seeds and Spells is that you only have to buy them once, after which you can generate them infinitely (with Opals) in the Room of Requirement.
Another trick to earn money quickly. If you encounter these chests with an eye who jump to see you, it is better to use the spell of disillusion sneak up on you and get the 500 pieces that everyone has And if you don’t have the spell yet, you can use the invisibility potion.
4. Magical combat is a dance of colors.
Combat is a fundamental part of Hogwarts Legacy, and although at first it doesn’t require much skill or complexity, very soon the enemies will increase in demand and be better prepared for your attacks. Some of them will employ a permanent magic shield that will deflect your spells unless you counter it with a spell in the same “color family” as the shield. For example, if a black mage wields a purple shield, an enchantment such as stock oh i was knocked down it will break the barrier, while if the shield is yellow it is advisable to use Levioso or Momentum Arrest, although our favorite is the spell of transformation, with which we turn an enemy into an explosive barrel and we can throw it at others. Two kills for the price of one.
Some enemies are particularly weak against certain spells. you will see a lot spiders in the game (but many), and the best way to kill them quickly is to intertwine basic attacks with R2 with fire spells such as Fire oh To break. The bone the trolls they are quite harsh, but you can use Flip to bring their own club to the head and deal a ton of damage.
Don’t despise the use of herbalism classes in battles. THE chinese chewing cabbageFinally mandrakes and the poisonous tentacle These are very useful tools that can get you out of trouble with large groups of enemies, or with stronger ones such as acromantulas or the the trolls. Always have a good amount of them.
5. Your best friends? The broom and the spell for the locks.
There broom it is the primary means of magical transportation in the world of Hogwarts Legacy. Although will dust the flu they’re great (it’s the equivalent of fast travel here), you’ll have to unlock the destinations first, and they’re often quite far away. Fortunately, we have the brooms. The Hogsmeade store offers several models at 400 pieces each. That you get one is enough, because from then on the game will speed up a lot. With it, we can travel in a straight line and even safely enter the forbidden forest or the mountains by air. Of course, Hogsmeade is forbidden to fly with broomsticks, as well as inside the castle, so you would have to find another way to get to some places… Has anyone said allohomomorous?
allohomomorous This is the charm of opening magic locks and we will get it by doing a side mission for the guardian of Hogwarts, the mr moon. By carrying a certain amount of item, the spell to open level 2 and 3 locks will improve, so every time you see one demiguise statuemake sure it’s dark (you can change the time of day in the map menu) and take the statue.
And for now, with these tips, you can start your Hogwarts Legacy adventure calmly and on the right foot, although we wouldn’t rule out adding more notes as we press every corner of the Avalanche game. Good start to class!
