Hogwarts Legacy Chat (Hints, Tips, Possible Spoilers)

Would anyone like to chat Hogwarts Legacy?

I’ve played around 32 hours and made 35% overall progress. I love exploring - the level of detail is amazing.

Have not yet worked out how to open those chests with the eyeballs. I’m either missing something or I need to progress further. I have however collected all the Daedalian Keys for my house chest (Ravenclaw)

I'd have liked to but don't actually have it!

I don't have a ps5 and am not a huge gamer otherwise so just haven't felt able to justify (or afford frankly) buying the console just to play one game.

i've watched streams of it being played to satisfy curiosity and it does look great. I saw an explanation of how to open the chests while watching one if you do want the secret -or obviously google can help but didn't want to blurt it out and spoil anything- you shouldn't need to progress further in the game to get them open though.

Enjoy OP, very jealous!

I accidentally opened one chest with eyes but not sure how and haven't done it again. Only 5% in though.

@dontgobaconmyheart You don’t need a PS5 it’s on PC too.

I half want to Google trying to open and eye chest and half want to figure it out myself. I must try harder now I know it can be done so early in the game!

Go invisible to open eye chests.

Use the disillusionment spell to unlock eye chests.

I am only 10% through. Don't get much time to play.

I have just for access to the Room of Requirement.

Of course, yes! I had previously tried disillusionment but hadn’t twigged that I needed to go invisible before approaching the chest. 🤣

I’ve now unlocked two ‘Hogwarts Secrets’ and got some nice outfits in return. Still searching for the third secret…

I'm really struggling to defeat the pensive guardians at the final stage of athenaeum. I can kill the first two and can fling a few over the side but they seem to keep respawning and I only have 1 wiggenweld potion. Any tips or am I just a dreadful noob?! Thanks in advance! It's taken me two nights and no luck and I really want to move on and not have to start over!

Nearly finished this does anyone know how to unlock the treasure rooms in hogwarts with the symbols that you need to change. I've looked at the door and tried to match the symbols but still not doing it.

You need to master dodging which on Xbox is B button then quick counter attack. You can also press Y to cast your protective protego charm which stops your health going down as much.

Dracarys1 · 20/02/2023 11:24

Thank you. Managed to do it! Got lucky maybe?! Whatever, I quickly saved so at least I'm not stuck anymore. Thanks for your advice x

@Feefee00 Do you mean the ones with the triangles on the door and the spinning ??

If so, you need to solve the equations. There is a chest near the arithmancy classroom which contains a note which tells you what number each symbol represents (basically the symbols around the door are 0-9 from left to right). Then it’s a simple case of adding the three numbers/symbols on each triangle point to equal the number in the middle.

When you're in a fight, a red triangle above you means dodge/roll out of the way. If it's orange you can't cast protego at the right moment and it will cast stupefy at your enemy. If you master the timing of these, it's pretty easy to beat most enemies. I'm 30 hrs in and find myself delaying the main story line just to explore and do the side quests and Merlin trials. Or roaming the dark forest killing spiders and dark wizards is fun

FromEden · 23/02/2023 01:14

can cast protego at the right moment that should say

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 23/02/2023 01:45

I'm about 20% through the main quest apparently and still none the wiser! I'm still mostly on side quests which I'm loving. I find the puzzles are really mixed in level, some straightforward, some damn hard!! Enjoying zapping poachers and collecting potion ingredients at the moment 😀

I just have one collection chest to find - I’m on 139/140 for conjuration items! Very frustrating as I’m 100% on everything else.
