5 Tips for Those Starting Their Journey in Hogwarts Legacy in May

Hogwarts Legacy was a huge hit when it was released, but those playing on the last gen consoles were left out of the fun. However, this all changes on May 5. On that day, both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be seeing their releases of Hogwarts Legacy.

This means many fans of the Harry Potter series will be getting their first chance at playing the game soon. Since many have already experienced the game in full, these gamers have the opportunity to learn from those that came before.

There are several useful tips and tricks that players have learnedfrom the current gen release. This guide will go over five of them so that new players know the best ways to start their Hogwarts journey.

Cast Revelio Often To Get a Head Start

Revelio is a spell that helps a player see what can be interacted with. Casting it reveals nearby enemies, chests, collectibles, interactable objects, and more. It also reveals Field Guide Pages, which provide experience that can be helpful early. If a player needs help with their current objective, wants to work on some early leveling, or wants to know what secrets may be lurking, this spell does it all. Players should cast this often, especially anytime they enter a new room or area, as what it reveals can be incredibly helpful.

Unlock Every Floo Flame Possible

Floo Flames provide the player with fast travel points across the world. They are marked on the map, making them incredibly easy to find. All a player has to do to unlock a floo flame is walk up to it and interact with it. The hallways of Hogwarts can be twisting and hard to manage, and the trek to Hogsmeade can take a while before the broom is unlocked. Making sure to stop at every floo flame, and to grab a few out-of-the-way ones if players plan on exploring, can save players a good chunk of time.

Everything Important Is Gated by Main Quest Progression

There are several important unlocks that players may be eyeing, such as new spells, broom flying, or the Room of Requirement. Before new players go searching for these unlocks, they need to realize that there’s no need. Every important unlock is gated by quest progression. While there is a lot to learn and earn through exploration, the main character upgrades are all hidden behind main quest checkpoints. If a player’s heart yearns for a specific upgrade, they shouldn’t search for it. They should simply follow the main quest, and it will come to them in time.

Don’t Be Afraid to Sell Gear

Players will get a lot of gear as they travel through Hogwarts. Some will look better than others, while some will provide bonuses that players prefer. Regardless of why a player wears what they wear, they shouldn’t fear selling their extra gear to shops. Players start the game with only 20 gear slots, meaning their inventory fills fast. Making sure to stop by a store and offload their unwanted gear will provide a fair sum of gold, while also letting the player procure more. A player should also keep in mind that pieces should be sold, even if they like how it looks. Trasmog for items is unlocked as soon as they are picked up, meaning players don’t have to worry about hoarding their favorite fashionable items at the cost of inventory space. Simply sell them, as the looks will be available in the player’s wardrobe.

Complete Combat Challenges Early

There are many combat challenges the player can complete, granting experience and gear rewards when completed. Players should do their best to complete these as early as possible. Certain enemies scale with the player’s level, meaning that waiting to do the challenges may only make things harder. A player should try to complete a good chunk of these as soon as they feel confident, as the best time to do them is when they are weakest.

These tips should be enough to give any new Hogwarts students a head start. The world is large, and there is much to explore. While these will only provide a bit of early help, it should still be more than enough to get players on their way to exploring the world of Harry Potter.
