 So within my 70 plus hours of playing Hogwarts Legacy I've jotted down a few things I wish I knew before playing, in regards to tips and tricks that can help new players to the game, and well that's what I'll bring you today guys. Now guys if you do enjoy this video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more Hogwarts be sure to subscribe. Okay so these I've jotted down may not be in any particular order and also guys if you would like to add any tips or tricks for new players please leave a comment down below. I mean these are the things that I just wish I knew but they ain't necessarily an absolute must but they probably can make life a lot easier for a new player or a early um player so let's get into it. Okay so one thing I can't stress enough is is to progress the main story quest line. For the first 10 to 15 hours of your general gameplay this is what I do this is what sticks straight to because along this way guys and the way this game works is you unlock many of the important things from this progress in the main story. Nothing in reality is tied to a side quest until you already have what you need things like the broom the room of requirement and as well as all the major spells you'll need for exploration these are all tied mainly to the story quest line so if I were you especially for the first 10 to 15 hours stick to this just play the main game and get things done. I can't stress how important the broom is this is an absolute must because when it comes to exploration without your broom it is just well a pain in the ass. So yes guys stick to the main story quest line so a quest ain't going anywhere get your broom get your room of requirement and you'll be good to go. Another thing I'll state for early players is Revello is your best friend. Early on this will help you discover many many things that will assist you going forward into this game. Things like finding gold things like finding gear things like finding absolutely everything and well when you use that Revello and you hear a bow sound that means there's a field page guide right near you. These reward you XP and this is very important for you leveling up. So yes Revello in regards to looting finding that gold finding that gear and in that XP is amazing. Now if you have a one of those new PlayStation controllers or an Xbox Elite what I'd do is I'd assign it to one of the buttons on the back of the controller so you can just spam it out because it absolutely is a must within this game it is your best friend. Now Revello can also be used on those brooms and mounts so when you're flying low to the ground use that Revello and you may just discover something you need. Also while you're on your broom people pressing in that left thumbstick will give your broom auto pilot so if you need to fly somewhere real far you haven't got that through flame open just aim in that direction pressing your left thumbstick and the game will fly for you. I actually didn't realize this until probably about 35 hours into my playthrough so yeah a great little tip. Now another thing I will state for early players is not to dismantle that gear unless you absolutely have to. Doesn't matter what level the gear is if it's low then you're currently assigned gear don't dismantle because golden this game is very important and while order gear you don't need you can sell as soon as you get to hugs mid people you can sell said gear so definitely do not dismantle it. I'd also take advantage of the room of requirement as soon as you can set things up as small as it may be potion stations the enchanted loom get this done. Now the room requirement isn't a far into the game mission you do it for Professor Weasley and as soon as you've done this quest you have the room of requirement open up for you you can then progress and expand upon the room of requirement for doing these quest lines the first one being the alpha the nab sack and the loom this will give you access to the nab sack I mean you can go and capture those beasts which is absolutely vital for this game. Now you would eventually come to the stage where you can unlock talents and as soon as you can guys if I was you I'd open up more of those spell diamonds these are absolutely vital to the player and just make that life so much easier so when you can guys open up those spell salutes those spell diamonds I don't think I'd say as well guys is don't use all your materials until you get relatively near end game yes I know you may want to take advantage of leveling up gear but at the end of the day as you're playing you'll just keep getting gear much much better and higher than what you previously have so using materials vital materials hard to combine materials and leveling up gear when you're just a low level it really is a waste of time in my opinion and with the transmog system in this game mean you can look how you want to look and how gear isn't really limited I mean one legendary piece can be the same as any other legendary piece especially when you can apply those traits to it I really wouldn't stress about gear until you get near that end game so don't waste all some materials in my opinion now another thing I will state and that is this is actually something many players still to this day don't realize max level in this game is a level 40 you cannot reach a level 40 unless you do all the required challenges in this game xp in this game is tied to challenges for instance dark wizards kill 100 of these you earn xp for each as soon as you get that challenge completed for killing 100 which is the last dark wizard challenge you will earn no more xp for killing dark wizards this is the same for every instance and every enemy and every quest and every beast you catch more or less everything in this game is tied to a challenge once that challenge is done no more xp can be acquired from said things so keep that in mind if you need easy xp if you need a quicker level simply check out your challenges look at the ones you can do easily get them done earn that xp level up but yes your level in this game is tied directly to those challenges and that's the only way you can level up in this game so keep that in mind but there's a great way in exploiting said challenges to get them done quicker to earn xp faster and those are those combat challenges you can use any of the three if you own the dark arts pack battle arenas scattered across the map the screen total like i said with the dark arts pack but two is available to all players and they are seen on screen now if you come here guys take out the waves of the enemy z's battle arenas offer you will complete many of the challenges within that combat challenge tab mean you will earn faster amounts of xp easy levels no sweat at all another trick i wish i knew about earlier as well is the difficulty in this game whether you play on story easy normal or hard it makes no difference to the xp that you earn the loot that you earn playing on story just means there's no challenge at all within the game find enemies the non-apparent capturing beasts it's just look at that beast and press one button there's no challenge whatsoever so if you are struggling at any instance in the game don't feel like you're doing a disservice by changing that difficulty down because it makes no difference to your overall progress you can also check out those field guides on enemy weaknesses so if there's a certain enemy you want to learn more about that field guide is your best friend so keep that in mind also we know certain enemies have certain shields we know our shields work if it's a purple shield you need to use a purple spell to break that shield but if you haven't got a purple spell within your build or your setup or your spell diamond you can throw objects at enemies to break said shields so keep that in mind combat in this game is one of the best parts about it and the more you can learn about it the better now earning money in this game is an absolute must but the best way to do this is by farming those beasts and then selling them to the brood and peck vendor within hogsmead again as an early on player progress the game until you unlock the room of requirements do deeks first quest who's located within the room of requirements will then unlock the nab sack the nab sack then can be used to farm beasts and sell beasts you get 120 for a single beast and you start with 20 or 21 slots within your beast inventory menu so that's a lot of money you can get from those farming beasts and selling them in real fast time too the best place to do this guys is this spot on the map right here this puff scheme den come here guys farm all puff schemes within this little cave come to this point on the map skip time by going into your map menu and pressing that right thumb stick in do this once and go back to that puff scheme den capture away when your inventory is full go to the hogsmead vendor the brood and peck sell away earn fast money i wouldn't worry about money real early on i progress the game like i said earlier but when you're at the stage where you need that money this is by far the best farm in the game now when it comes to actually farming beasts you will sometimes come across those shiny beasts shiny beasts in this game are just a different color with a star next to their name they offer nothing else as far as i'm aware in regards to breeding in regards to selling for more money in regards to anything they're literally just a pretty color that doesn't mean things won't change in the future but just keep that in mind don't stress yourself trying to look for shiny beasts because they make no difference to gameplay now if you have a certain vendor who sells a certain item and you want to purchase said item in abundance but said vendor keeps running out you can skip time to replenish said vendor this isn't something i've actually worried about myself so i progress to the remove requirement that could grow my stuff myself but skipping time i do believe by three days will replenish a vendor's stock meaning you can buy a massive amount until you have that gold of any said item now if you're sure on gear space and you want more of it you do this by doing the Merlin trials scattered around the map at the first Merlin trial you will come across early on within the main quest line once you've done this you'll see them open up across the open world do these Merlin trials and you will earn extra gear space ancient magic hotspots scattered around the map will earn you more ancient magic meters these are again amazing for that combat making life so much easier and the more these you have the better in my opinion and lastly guys something i wish i knew about much earlier on is the legendary entrate chest trick so i do a many of these legendary chests across the game which guarantee you a legendary piece of gear but you can exploit these chests to basically maximize gear output so you can have more or less full legendary gear and to do this guys as soon as you find one of these legendary gear chests simply make a manual save before opening it then open a chest you don't get a gear piece that you need for a certain specific slot simply reload that save you just made open a chest again do this until you get what you want now like i said these legendary chests can be found more or less all over but what i would say is if i were you i probably wouldn't open them straight away when you come across these make a note of where it is probably take a screenshot and then go back to it at end game this guarantees a legendary gear so if they if you get to end game and there's a specific slot you need a legendary piece for you can use one of these chests to take advantage of that so keep that in mind this also works with every single chest in the game whether it's a or an eight chest which gives you those traits these come from those bandit camps whether it's those chest those butterflies take you which can give you certain items of decoration within your room of requirements of a variant i mean this works and every chest in the game no matter what it is so yes keep that in mind guys but those are the tips and tricks i wish i knew before playing but it made my life a whole lot easier but now as i go into making my second player for my second playthrough now i know all this information life will be a lot easier for me so yes there we have it guys guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out feel like what you're seeing once you more hug whats be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys i will see you on that next one
