Clear Main Quest

Main Quest

Clearing the main quest is the most basic and effective way to level up. If you just want to enjoy the story without playing on hard mode, you don't need any special leveling up. As long as you meet the minimum required level, you can progress through the story and clear the main quest.

List of Story Walkthroughs

Clear Side Quest

Side Quest

Side quests not only allow you to enjoy stories with various characters, but also provide opportunities for leveling up. Although some of the clear conditions can be troublesome, the rewards obtained are not limited to experience points.

Clearing Challenges

challenge

By clearing challenges, you can obtain items as well as experience points. Since it is easier to work towards achieving goals alongside other objectives such as main quests and side quests, be conscious of progressing through challenges as well.

Clearing Trials of Merlin

Merlin

You can obtain experience points by clearing the Trials of Merlin. Each clear rewards 80 Exp, and the ability to expand your inventory through challenge rewards is an attractive feature. However, since the trials are scattered throughout the world map, it may take time for discovery and movement.

Finding Field Guide Pages

Field Guide Pages

By obtaining Field Guide Pages, you can obtain 80 Exp per page. Once discovered, you can quickly gain experience points, but there are few hints in the game, and the only way to discover them is to diligently search with Revelio. Additionally, since they are items for collection purposes and do not directly affect game progression, they are not as valuable in terms of leveling up.

Locations and methods to collect Field Guide Pages

Defeating Enemies

Defeat

By defeating enemies and touching the white light, you can obtain experience points. The amount of experience points obtained per enemy is not high, so when leveling up, it is recommended to head to places such as bases or nests where multiple enemies appear.

Level Cap

The Maximum Level is 40

Level Cap

Based on trophy information the maximum level in Hogwarts Legacy is 40. Leveling up to 40 may take some time, so take your time and progress through the game.

About 25 Levels are Needed to Clear the Story

Main quest only requires about 25 levels

If you focus on the main quest and progress through the story, it is possible to complete the game with a level of around 25. If you don't have a clear objective, leveling beyond 25 may not be necessary, so consider your leveling goals.

Benefits of Leveling Up

Summary of the effects obtained from leveling up
Increase in Life
Acquisition of Talent Points
Ability to equip stronger equipment

Increase in Life

Increase in Life

When you level up, the value of your base stat increases. However, other stats are not dependent on level, so you need to enhance them through equipment.

Acquisition of Talent Points

Talent Points

Talent Points, which are necessary for improving talents, can only be acquired by leveling up.

Recommended Talents and Point Limits

Ability to Equip Stronger Equipment

Equipment Level Requirement

Equipments have a level requirement, making it impossible to equip if you have a lower level. Generally, equipment with higher level requirements tends to have better performance, so if you want to enhance your battle abilities, level up and update your equipment.

Methods to Obtain and Change Equipment

Methods to Strengthen Characters Other Than Leveling Up

Equip Stronger Gear

Equipment

There are various types of equipment, and it is not necessarily the case that higher level equipment is always stronger. Therefore, it is possible to strengthen characters by changing equipment without leveling up. When you obtain new equipment, check its performance and update your equipment if it is stronger than your current one.

Methods and Unlocking Conditions for Equipment Enhancement

Unlock Skills with Talent Points

Talent Enhancement

By using talent points, you can add additional effects to incantations or increase the stock of incantations. This is the most noticeable way to increase a character's battle abilities, so if you're stuck, try allocating talent points.

Recommendations and Point Limits for Talents

Learn New Magic

Magic Acquisition

You can learn spells by taking side quests from your teachers and their subjects. The more spells you learn, the wider your strategic options become and your battle power is strengthened.
