Utilize Map and Quest Operations for Searching
In Hogwarts Legacy, there is no layered flat display of the current location or destination on the main map or mini-map, making it difficult to identify them. Therefore, make use of the function that shows the route from the current location to the destination to avoid getting lost.
List of Useful Operations for Searching
| Operation | Method and Effect |
|---|---|
| Waypoint | ・Move the cursor to the target location and confirm ・The route will be displayed in purple on the map |
| Quest Tracking | ・Select the target quest and confirm ・The route will be displayed in yellow on the map ・Press the up arrow key to display the route on the main screen |
Open Chests Actively
Be conscious of chests that are found along the way. Galleons can be obtained from treasure chests and other items. To unlock an Eye Chest, approach it without getting noticed by using a distraction spell.
Use Revelio regularly
Hogwarts Legacy has many diverse locations, making it easy to overlook treasure chests, gadgets, and puzzles. Therefore, it is recommended to use Revelio regularly while moving around in unfamiliar places. By doing so, you can easily discover hidden gadgets and more that you wouldn't normally notice!

The initial gear slot limit is 20. If you're not careful, you'll quickly reach the maximum limit. While it is possible to discard unwanted gear, it would be a waste. Therefore, make it a habit to visit shops regularly and sell any unnecessary gear.

Basic Cast can only shoot up to 4 shots. However, by including a spell in between, you can continuously shoot more than 4 shots without any intervals. Additionally, when the spell hits the enemy, it has a high chance of obstructing their attack actions. Therefore, be conscious of attacking with Basic Cast while inserting spells.
Combo Practice Available in the South Tower Courtyard
Until you win the third round of the Crossed Wands, you can practice combos for each round by talking to Lucas. There is a possibility of discovering combos that are difficult to find on your own, so make active use of this opportunity.

Use Magic Potions
Magic potions are consumable items that can give you an advantage in battle. Various types of potions can help you gain an advantage at the start of battle or recover HP, so find and keep the magic potions that suit your battle style.
Strengthening through Talent
When you strengthen the talent on the battle screen, your spells will increase significantly compared to before. However, once you allocate the points, you cannot recover them. Carefully consider what to use your talent points on!

Search for a Powerful Gear
Sometimes, you can obtain powerful gear by opening treasure chests during puzzles and other activities. The stats of the gear greatly affect your HP and attack power. Consider updating and enhancing your gear if you feel lacking in power!
