Wondering how to use Stupefy in Hogwarts Legacy? We’ve got you covered. We’ll go over the spell’s controls across all platforms to help you stun your opponents in combat.
From early on, you’ll need to effectively utilize the spells at your disposal to take down enemies in Hogwarts Legacy. Among the first spells you’ll learn are Protego and Stupefy. When timed properly, these two charms work in tandem to protect you from incoming attacks and temporarily stun your opponents. However, while Protego can be cast on its own, Stupefy relies on the use of its counterpart. Because of this, you’ll need to practice both spells during combat to get the hang of it. Here’s how to cast Stupefy and buy some time during large-scale battles in Hogwarts Legacy.
How to Cast Stupefy in Hogwarts Legacy
To effectively cast Stupefy in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll first need to use Protego. This can be done from early on in the game, though you may need a bit of practice to time your casting properly. By following the on-screen prompts to cast the protection charm, you should be able to deploy Stupefy in no time. Here’s a rundown of the charm’s controls across platforms.
| PLATFORM | INPUT |
|---|---|
| PC | Press and hold Q |
| Xbox | Press and hold Y |
| PlayStation | Press and hold Triangle |
| Switch | Press and hold X |
Pro tip: Stupefy will fail if you don’t hold the spell’s input for long enough. To ensure an effective cast, hold the input for Protego until your character narrates the use of Stupefy. Not only will this render your opponent powerless for a short time, but it will also allow you to recharge spells and plan your next attack combo.

When to Use Stupefy in Hogwarts Legacy
Just as you are instructed when to cast Protego in Hogwarts Legacy, this also indicates when Stupefy should be used. Because these two charms work in tandem, you won’t actually need to cast Stupefy on its own. Just wait for the on-screen prompt to cast the protection charm during combat. This doubles as the perfect opening for Stupefy.
Perfect casting of Protego and, by extension, Stupefy can earn you achievements, so pay close attention to the associated on-screen prompts. I recommend spending talent points on the Protego charm to increase the effects of Stupefy and gain some handy perks in the process, such as stunning several enemies at once with every perfect cast.
