Hogwarts Legacy

If I was 12 and got the game I reckon I'd actually struggle with some of the challenges.

I struggle now at 27 🤣

 

[Geddes]

how do you do the puzzles the ones with the shapes and you got 1 or 2 spinner things with shapes on them, do you have to line the shapes up?

Don’t worry I’m 40 and I’m struggling.

And also embarrassingly playing a Harry Potter computer game 😂😂

Not gonna lie, I just did every single configuration. 🤣

Take a photo of what you mean. Do you mean the blackboard doors?

If so, approach the door and unveil the puzzle then you need this, which you find on a table in one of the towers;

Each animal represents a number. You need to add the numbers up to make the number in the centre of the puzzle, by rotating the ? And ?? To the right animal for the right number, if that makes sense?

Every door has two “spinners”, one will be ? and one will be ??. Sometimes they’re above or below the puzzle on a floor above or below it, but always near it.

Why the f**k does it start at 0??? I thought it was numbers but nothing added up by counting left to right. That's why I resorted to just doing every configuration.

Daft that

Ah ok got you I think, I’m near one right now I’ll give it a go

 

[jenic]

Not been this into a game for a very long time, it’s balance of puzzles, killing and exploration is spot on.

About 23 hours in, and 20% complete.

 

[Geddes]

Tried that twice now and got it sussed that puzzle with the numbered shapes

 

[Geddes]

Anyone found out how to do this puzzle yet?

 

[Cub.]

Come on then, geeks assemble. Share pictures of your character and wand (ooh err Matron).

Gryffindor for me;

Wand is;

Red Oak, Phoenix Feather, Supple and 14.5 inches.

 

[Mr Squashie]

Supple and 14.5 inches

Same. Can't wait to download this game, it looks great!

 

[Cub.]

One problem I do have, is it seems Petrificus Totalus is glitched for me. Just won’t give me the option to use it. Do I need to swap it out for Revelio and if so, how do I do that?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Did you maul your character's face @Cub. ?

 

[Cub.]

Did you maul your character's face @Cub. ?

Bear scars. Not mauled.

More a sign of affection 😂

 

[Geddes]

I'll post up pics of my character later.

When i've come to open up a chest it wont let as it's saying my gear slots are and need to sell some unwanted gear. when i'm at the shop and want to sell stuff it's giving me 16 different things to sell like , cloaks, hats, gloves and so on. Thing is i don't want to sell the stuff as i don't know if i do sell it i dont know if i will get this item later in the game? How does it work if i sell one of the items?

I always spec the highest level clothing then press X on the controller (Xbox) to change the look to what ever I've collected. That way you can sell everything that is lower spec that you are wearing but you can always revert back to the look you want if that makes sense?

E.g. my wife loves the bowler hat she found early on so now specs the highest level offence/ defence hat and then customises to look like the bowler hat despite her selling the bowler hat previously.

Soz if you know this...
You can only cast it when you're right behind an enemy and they haven't seen you.
Use disillusionment and sneak up behind a goblin or something then just mash F (on PC) and you'll end them - you can upgrade the spell to work on more than one enemy at once.

sorry not much no. if i sell something does it permantly delete it from the Gear Menu in the settings and i presume there's no chance of picking up the same item later in the game or if i sell them there gone for good?

I wouldn’t worry too much mate, just keep and equip one item of each type that gives you the best stats and sell/destroy the others. If you complete more of the Merlin trials you unlock more gear capacity.

So essentially if you sell an item it is no longer there to be 'used', you'll notice each item has an offence / defence rating so you want to select the item of clothing which has the highest rating to make your character as strong as possible.

That covers the 'attributes' of an item

In terms of how your character looks, when you are on the main page for the gear, hover over the area (cloak for example) and press X on Xbox, square on PS5 no idea on PC and you can customise the look of an item.

Any item you have found can be used for the look weather you have sold it or not, this way you can make you character look how you want, whilst freeing up gear slots, and ensuring you always have the strongest clothing on.

I'll try to get some photos of what I mean later on unless this now makes sense or unless someone can interpret my gibberish and translate it to a sensical response 😂

 

[Geddes]

I still haven’t properly looked at the stats yet on the gear, I’ve equipped a nice cloak and gloves but not sure what stats they are though. I’ll have a look later and delete some of the normal gear after once I saved it. Just had my first trip into Hogsmead just now and picked up my new wand and there’s a few chests that I can’t fully open due to slots being full.

 

[Geddes]

just had another pop on and saved the game before i made any gear deletes, i've made a outfit which looks nice and noticed i can change the apprearance, one of the green silk robes look nice. I'll have a look and delete some of the basic items and keep some of the gear which have high rating as you said. Just need to play it abit more and get use to how things work. Just reached level 12 i think and about to leave Hogsmead with the items i got.

Yeah, the issue is it just isn’t working. I’m on controller on PC so that may complicate it, but I can sneak up with disillusionment, almost to the point I’m cupping their buttcheeks, but the option to then hit them with PT doesn’t / never appears.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Will post mine up later

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Turbo c**t

And the wand is an 18" Annihilator XXXL

 

[Mr Squashie]

Finally got round to installing this. Stuck everything on Ultra and enabled FSR 2.0 Quality preset, getting 80-120fps in the first area and the bank. Can't see any difference between FSR and native after some experimenting and the extra frames are nice. May have to dial some settings back when I finally arrive at Hogwarts but for now I'm very impressed with the performance.

 

[Mr Squashie]

I don't often get a chance to sit down and play games, so for me to have put 27 hours into my character and a further 20 hours helping my daughter with her character, is very impressive.

The level of care and attention to detail that's been put into it is incredible, it's far better than the lazy garbage of the movies.

The only criticism is that potions are ridiculously overpowered, and there's nothing to spend all this money on 🤣

 

[jenic]

I think the main issue with the game is that there's nothing to do once you've completed it, and it doesn't take that long to complete it.

It's a nice impressive open world, but nothing to do now.

 

[Mr Squashie]

Well it took 42 hours but I finally finished the main story. I tried my best to wander around doing side quests and exploring between quests, but you can only fight the same group of enemies or solve the same puzzle so many times.

Really enjoyed the game overall, it's definitely my game of the year, but there are some things that could have been done better.
My character still isn't max level despite running around doing as many side activities as possible, so I think the levelling system could have used some more tweaking.
This might just be me being a r****d but I only learned that you can rotate objects while levitating them after completing the story, and only because I watched a YouTube video for hints on a particular puzzle. It seems weird to be 42 hours into a game and suddenly find yourself having to use a mechanic for the first time.
The combat becomes extremely easy by the end, it almost feels like the enemies stopped levelling up halfway through the game. I'm wandering around one hit killing everyone without even getting a chance to use Avada Kedavra.

I hope they make a second one though as this was absolutely brilliant and really captured the magic of the Harry Potter universe, I felt like I was 10 years old again reading it for the first time. I never finished the books and I hate the movies with a passion, but this game absolutely nailed it.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

This is currently £18 & pennies on the PS store for the delux (?) version.

Loaded it up and was asked to make Warner bros account to claim stuff, and then a Harry Potter account to choose my form/class/wand.
