Basic Cast Mastery is essential

To greatly improve comfort when fighting enemies, prioritize acquiring Basic Cast Mastery. By increasing Basic Cast Mastery, you can shorten the cooldown of Basic Cast spells, making it easier to unleash a barrage of magic.

When you start learning more spells, focus on spell knowledge

As you progress through the main quest and learn more spells, it's recommended to acquire spell knowledge. By mastering all spell knowledge, you can set up to a maximum of 16 spells.

If you want to increase the difficulty, acquire Potion Potency talents

If you plan to play the game at a higher difficulty level, it's also recommended to acquire Wiggenweld Potency I. As the difficulty increases, it becomes harder to avoid enemy attacks, so increasing the effectiveness of healing potions can help stabilize your strategy when playing on higher difficulties.

Prioritize Obtaining Revelio Mastery

Once you reach level 16, prioritize obtaining Revelio Mastery. By learning Revelio Mastery, the range of Revelio's effect will be greatly expanded, allowing for smoother exploration.

Recommended Talents for the Endgame (Level 22+)

When Learning the Dark Arts, Focus on Talents

If you're learning spells from the Dark Arts such as Avada Kedavra, it's recommended to focus on talents related to the Dark Arts. In particular, Avada Kedavra allows you to eliminate cursed enemies, so it's recommended to prioritize increasing your talent level once you learn it.

Recommended: Transformation Mastery

Once you learn Transformation, it is recommended to focus on increasing Transformation Mastery. This allows you to transform enemies hit by Transformation into explosives, making it possible to quickly reduce the number of enemies when combined with Ancient Magic Throw.

Maximum Talent Points

The limit is 36 points

The maximum limit for talent points is 36 points. Talent points can be obtained at a rate of 1 point per level starting from level 5, but the level cap is 40. There is no other way to obtain talent points besides leveling up, so the limit is set at 36 points.

12 out of 48 talents cannot be learned

Since there are a total of 48 talents, even if you raise your level to the maximum, you cannot learn 12 talents. Since talent point reallocation is not possible, it is recommended to decide which talents to focus on.

Talent Unlocking Conditions

Unlocked in the Jackdaw's Rest main quest

Talents can be unlocked by progressing through the main quest, Jackdaw's Rest. In Jackdaw's Rest, you will need to conquer a cave where enemies appear in large numbers, so it is recommended to prepare your gear and healing potions before taking on the challenge.

Recommended to prioritize core growth

It is recommended to prioritize Core Talents. Core Talents have many effects that do not decay regardless of which spells are set, making them versatile regardless style. If you haven't decided what kind of wizard to become, you can't go wrong by mastering Core Talents.

Prioritize Spell Knowledge and Basic Cast Mastery

Among the Core Talents, prioritize learning Spell Knowledge and Basic Cast Mastery. Spell Knowledge allows you to increase the number of spell slots, reducing the hassle of changing spells. Additionally, Basic Cast Mastery reduces the cooldown of spells, making it easier to chain combos.

Spell Talents increase area of effect and provides additional attacks

Spell Talents expand the area of effect of spells set in slots and generate additional attacks. In battles in Hogwarts Legacy, where you often face multiple enemies, having more Spell Talent allows you to attack multiple enemies with a single spell. If you don't have any particular preferences, prioritize these after Core Talents.

The Dark Arts Talents allow for curse infliction and enhancement

The Dark Arts talents allow for the infusion of curse effects into certain spells, as well as the enhancement of curse effects. Mastering the Dark Arts enables players to spread curses among enemies and eliminate them with Avada Kedavra. However, since this is an Unforgivable Curse, one must be prepared to engage in Dark Wizard role-play.

Stealth enhances the effect of Disillusionment

Stealth Talents enhance Disillusionment. While under the influence of Disillusionment, players become less likely to be detected by enemies and gain the ability to dash. Stealth is recommended for those who wish to avoid battles with enemies and enjoy launching surprise attacks from a hidden state.

The Room of Requirement enhances plants and potions

The Room of Requirement talents enhance the effects of plants and potions used by tapping the L1 button. Although plants and potions need to be cultivated and concocted, they possess powerful effects. When engaging in item-centric ole-play, it is advisable to increase these talents..

What can be done in The Room of Requirement and its unlocking conditions

What are Talents

Talents enhance spells and items

Talents power up spells and item effects. By enhancing spells with talents, the ease of use and strength in battles will significantly increase, so it is recommended to prioritize learning them to improve your arsenal.

Free to learn your favorites

Talent can be learned only for the things you like, as there is no prerequisite talent required for growth. It is not a skill tree type growth system, so let's focus on expanding only the talents you like, regardless of talent categories.

Cannot redo acquired talents

The allocation of talent points cannot be redone. There is a limit to the number of talents that can be acquired, so it is recommended to prioritize selecting talents that are highly convenient.
