Hogwarts Legacy is a massive game with many aspects to learn. This article will discuss the top five things you need to know when starting your playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy.
The Gear System
One of the first topics we’ll cover is the gear system in the game. Various chests are available in “Hogwarts Legacy” with randomized loot, but particular chests, such as the ornate chests, will have guaranteed legendaries. These chests are the best way to obtain some of the best gear in the game. However, it’s important to note that armor from drops and chests will scale to your current level. So, if you pick up all the legendary chests early in the game, you’ll lack legendary armor synced to your level later in the game without purchasing it from a shop.
But there’s a catch. When you receive an unidentified item, it only scales to your level once you identify it in the Room of Requirements. So, if you don’t need an upgrade when you already have one for your level, you can save the unidentified item until later in the game when you need an upgrade. Then, you can identify it in the Room of Requirements and receive it for your current level.
Ornate Chests
Lockpicking
The next tip is to unlock max-level lockpicking as fast as possible. The author regrets avoiding the Demiguise quest for a long time, as so much good loot and secrets are locked behind the need for a low-level Horcrux. The author has found the fastest way to get the Demiguise statues needed to unlock Horcrux level three, so it’s highly recommended to check out that video. You’ll be able to unlock the quest immediately after entering the autumn season, which you get after completing your first trial.
The Talent Tree
It’s important to note that you won’t be able to unlock every talent available in the game. So, it’s crucial to look into each talent tree and identify the talents you really want. For example, if you’re not going to use many dark arts, you won’t have to invest any points into that tree and can instead invest all your points into something else. I recommend taking an early look at the talent tree and identifying your most essential talents before spending your talent points.

The Room of Requirements
The Room of Requirements botany and potion making is incredibly important and powerful. The Venomous Tentacula can be very useful, especially when upgraded with talents, and the cabbages can be helpful in many fights. The Thunder Brew recipe is one of the author’s favorite potions in the game. When you upgrade the Room of Requirements talent tree, you can automatically increase the Venomous Tentacula’s damage and break shields. The large growing pot is a versatile and important upgrade for growing botany and making potions, especially when you first start the game and don’t have much money.
Exploiting Enemy Weaknesses
The last tip, but certainly not the least, is to use your field guide to your advantage. The field guide has an option for enemies that reveals their weaknesses, which could be a massive advantage in the game. Take the Ash Winder as an example. Their powerful reductor curse can be interrupted with a severing charm, causing them to hit one of their own. Each enemy listed in the field guide has a unique weakness waiting to be discovered and mastered. Exploiting these weaknesses could give you the edge you need in combat.
So, are you ready to unleash your full wizarding potential? Take the time to peruse your field guide and uncover the hidden secrets. You’ll be amazed at the intricate ways the enemies interact with each other and the environment. Knowing your enemy’s weaknesses allows you to power through battles even faster and conquer the battlefield.
Wrapping Up
These are the top five things you need to know when starting your playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy. From the gear system to using your field guide, these tips will help you on your journey and make your experience even more exciting. So, grab your wand and get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure in the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy.
