Check out my first impressions of Hogwarts Legacy here --> czcams.com/video/K_kC8TYrTTw/video.html
What robe are you wearing and how do you get it
@@ironbloodangel4112 The Merlin robe. It's available as a Twitch drop from watching the official avalanche twitch channel.
I wish they added "Sleep" to our Dormitory.
That would be a more immersive way to change the time of day.
Plus, our Common Room doesn't really have that much to do.
Like the game bully yesss I wish they did that!
Professor Ronen is easily one of my favorite teachers in this game. Makes me wish I had someone with his enthusiasm for teaching and sense of humor back in high school.
Have already put 25 hours and counting into the game. It is unbelievable, a dream come true for a Harry Potter fan. Can’t wait for you all to see it too, I actually envy that you guys are going to get to see the opening act for the first time!
That opening is so good!!!
Same! Just put 25 hours in before bed. I was concerned, because I've barely unlocked anything that we've known about. Come to find out I've been getting too absorbed in the world i forget to do missions! I just unlocked the mounts at 25 hours. I feel like im going to put in hundreds of hours into this game. I'm ok with that 😆
@@AustinNystel Haha. That's about when I unlocked them too. Actually did it on last night's livestream here on YT🤣
@@Princess_0f_Trees Aww how sad :( anyway bought the deluxe version and loving it! Stay mad!
@@obsidionyx lol she's been repeating that crap in other comments on this channel probably others to.
Not sure if someone already mentioned this but regarding the broom. The left trigger boost bar only goes down if you are at a high altitude. If you’re low to the ground it’s a constant boost without cost.
I have to say this game has exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were super high! Currently at about 21 hours, absolutely in love with the game. Also, I just cannot stop getting lost in Hogwarts lol, trying to memorise my way around is exhausting!
It's just so dang fun!
30 Hours in 🙃 I haven't progressed that far, have just been exploring, taking in the sights and views and have been enjoying the side quests. Needless to say my life has been overrun with this game. I am absolutely loving it, I can't wait to see what happens next and when I'm not playing I'm watching Hogwarts Legacy videos like these 😂 Haven't been this immersed in a game, ever! ❤
Awesome to hear, Tanya! Glad you're enjoying it.
Retro you are a life saver I have been so confused and overwhelmed and the gear tips, claiming things and combat is very helpful and thanks for showing this all in a non spoilery way
Glad I could help, Ryan!
I love the limited gear slot mechanics, it encourage you to really wanna go to classes and roam the world to find secrets! Omggggg this game lived up to expectations and exceeded it!
Right?! All the hype was worth it.
@@RetroRaconteur absolutely….and to all the energy you put on this game. From trailer Easter eggs, and to development rumours. Thank you and you deserve the credits!
I'm 10 hours in and this game is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to unlock the flying mount just to sit back, relax and fly on a hippogriff and absorb the beautiful graphics
Have fun! The mount takes a while, but it's so epic when you finally get it.
Could you give me a ballpark figure on when/ what quest it comes after. Just so I know if I'm close or not!
@@Mentality_ali you get it from main story :) just play and fake your time
@@Mentality_ali They is a mission where you meet Natsai Onai at night and storm a castle, after that you get the animal mounts. Its just after the main story quest where you meet up with Sabastian and go through the unforgivable curses quests.
@@JuniusGaming OK thanks bro! Exactly the information I was looking for
Great video! So many useful tips. I'm SO looking forward to getting my broom!
good to know, especially about the camera and controller sensitivity, i'm photo sensitive so a spinning camera can be a bit much sometimes so i'll defnitely have to tweak those settings for myself, also it is surprising that it takes so long to get the broom, but i guess it makes sense to lock you out of going crazy too early and getting into more dangerous areas
Turning off Camera Relative Targeting was a godsend for me. I can actually take out multiple opponents in all directions very easily, rather than having to rapidly whip my camera everywhere. It also makes for a flashy looking combat scene.
How?
I’m still only a few hours in but I’ve been using the golden trail to track a couple of side quests in Hogwarts, once I hit track in the quest section of the book
Ahhh, right you are! Not sure why it wasn't working for me when I was testing, but just went back and confirmed it. Thanks for the correction! I'll edit that bit out, but it may take time for CZcams to refresh the video.
Excellent video and thank you.... I'm starting playing tonight.... very excited
Enjoy!
Wow! Great video Retro! Literally down to knowing where the heck my House Fanatic robes are. 😂😂 I couldn’t find them 😅 Thank you!
Haha! Happy I could help. I think it threw a lot of people off at first when they weren't showing up with the gear.
Thanks for the tips Retro which I'll hopefully be using very soon as I decided today I wasn't going to wait till April to play on PS4 and ordered a PS5 console and a copy of Hogwarts Legacy to be delivered to my home.
Another great video Retro. I'm having to avoid many videos as I'm making very slow progress and can't play too much at the moment. My problem now is getting enough gold to buy potions/herbology ingredients to continue and not too sure where to get the money for it. I've sold stuff and opened a fair few chests and still think I'm very early in the game.
Sadly, accessibility isn't quite as helpful as I would of liked and I may be missing a fair bit of key info across the game but hope to make more progress.
This is such a helpful video, thanks! Especially because you're a lot further along than I am. :)
Thanks so much, Brita! Glad you found it helpful.
Wonderful video, cannot wait to play this!
Thanks, Cyber! Glad you found it helpful.
Idk if you have noticed but I also found that casting Rivelio at high altitude helps you see points of interest in your area for a long range (like merlin trials, poacher camps, treasure vaults, etc.) Also I play on PC and I can do the gold path tracking to anything I have marked.
Yes, for sure! And thanks for the correction on the tracker. Think I had just forgotten to unmark the main quest when I was testing. Going to edit that out to avoid confusing anyone.
Np! Love your content and looking forward to your next stream!
Loving it so far. Just wish I'd remembered to get the nab-sack bag before i found a puffskein nest. Ended up using "Accio" on the poor thing instead by accident, and they started running. I'm like: NO! I'm so sorry.
Related: I got seriously mad when my explorations led me to a poacher camp and I saw a Puffskein (complete with sad puppy eyes) looking at me from inside a cage.
The broom toggle tip just got you a sub!
👍
Thanks to those who pointed out you actually CAN track side quests as well. You just have to make sure it isn't tracking any other quest at the time. Sorry if I confused anyone! This will be edited out of the video shortly, but it takes CZcams a bit to refresh the edit.
Hey retro I’m just wondering if we will get play through videos because I would love to see your reaction to the game. Also love your content keep it up!❤
@@ryno_k Sure! Check the live page here on CZcams. We've streamed it twice here and also have done a few on Twitch. www.youtube.com/@RetroRaconteur/streams
Already have a 10h save file and just now getting used to the combat system, but i enjoy every single bit of the game😍
I've been watching some of your video to help me play the game. I not use to using a controller and so I've accidentally flick my camera up when trying to move. It's definitely take some getting use to. I've taken off the mini map oer your suggestions and I've definitely started getting use to where everything is on my own. Floo flames are great for traveling.
Appreciate it, Nev!
Somthing to note about the Stupefy counter, it won’t break enemy shields on Hard mode
Also if u put cam acceleration all the water up it does the same as turning it down except the cam is faster so even more sensitive
The little gold trail that guide you to your quest it can work with side quest and any point you put on the map! Some side quest doesn’t work tho, because you are supposed to follow a map or solve riddles to find your way! Hope this helps ☺️ thank you for so the tips! I been playing non-stop since I got it! There is sooo much to do and see !! It’s overwhelming in a VERY good way!
@@Princess_0f_Trees why the need to spoil it? …I guess people will be rude no matter what. Thank you for that.
@@Ichaitealatte shes repeated this crap in other comments to.
Thank you for explaining change appearance. My strongest hat was the scarecrow hat, and I hated the look of the thing. I'm a new player, and enjoying it. Your videos are very helpful, thank you!
I haven’t messed with the settings in my game cause for me the base settings have been perfect
Where did you get that cloak?? Haven’t found it yet - love the video!!
Still trying to fix FPS issues on PC.. Can't wait to dive in!
Ik at 20hours in now and I am only just now right past the mission where have to collect the helmet for the goblin. I did every npc quest and side missions already. The game has so much to offer. In lvl 29 tho so fighting enemy's is so easy when required lvl is 17
I absolutely love how enemies have unique weaknesses. Like using levioso right when a dugbog shoots its tongue at you will dangle it in midair lol.
Discendo after levitating it is an instakill
Also on the mini boss dugbog
@@Caine33 i didn't know that. This game has so many little secrets.
@@Caine33 Gotta try that one now!
The camera adjustments are a must, it's a night and day difference.
Game will be installed and ready to go when I get back from my shift 😍😍
Niiiiice! Enjoy.
30 hours in, Master piece if your a harry potter fan like me. I would say my favorite game of all time now. For most I would say this Is a pretty good open world rpg and a must play for anyone a fan of the genre
This game is the W us gamers needed. So happy it exceeded expectations; it's truly an amazing game!
took me so long to realise you can sell gear and still have the appearance of it unlocked, thank you for clarifying this!
No problem!
How do you get the dragonhide protectors cloak?
I really hope ng+ is a thing to gel all the talents
I am here to tell you that you can have a tracker to sidequest yes the main at yellow dots are the priority but if you turn those trackers off and then press up tracker I will lead you to your side Quest what it is doing is making your yellow pointers priority but if you turn those off it will tell you the direction to go for the grey dots
Ahhh, you are right! Thanks for the correction. Not sure why it wasn't working for me, but I just went back and confirmed it. Appreciate you letting me know. I'll edit that bit out, but it may take time for CZcams to refresh the video.
A must watch video to start off.
Thank man!!!
This game is amazing so far. I'm getting my wizard butt handed to me pretty regularly in combat on hard...just unlocked the talents though so maybe that will help. Just so much going on at once, and spells coming from everywhere, and the parry windows seems tighter than most games with similar parry mechanics, not to mention the icon is hard to notice unless you're looking for it
It’s definitely a lot to take in at first!
Go play Sekiro and then come back about that parry time window 🤣🤣
Is there any other way to get the merlim robes? I missed the live yesterday because of work.
They've said there will be another chance to get them so keep an eye out for future Avalanche livestreams.
So good
Flight Toggle 11:35
Camera Settings 05:21
Also you don’t need to purposefully skip time if you don’t want to. If you get to a quest location that needs a different time, it’ll just prompt you to “wait” right there in the world at the quest location.
Yep, the quests will prompt you. But there's a certain item you can only collect at night and it won't prompt you to change the time.
Where those robs from!? Ive been trying to go Merlin look and those would suit perfectly
Yep, this one is actually the official Merlin robe. It was a free Twitch drop from watching the official Avalanche stream of the game.
Hey Retro! What robes are you dawning there?
The Merlin robes! They were a Twitch drop from Avalanche.
Great tips! I played with the mini map off for my first 10 hours, then turned it back on. Honestly, I’m leaving it on. The amount of side quests I was missing was insane! I’d run right past someone and wouldn’t hear a thing from them.
OH man, that's interesting! I'll probably turn it on after I beat the game and just want to hunt trophies and all the collectables 😆
😂
For the first 16 hours or so, I never fast travelled except when the story forced me to. When I finally tried to, I thought my game was bugged because I was approaching the floo flames like you think you would. It took me an additional four hours to realize I just go to the map.
So, I've never been a gamer at all in my entire life but I have been a Harry Potter fan for 20 years and naturally I had to play this. However I played it all without googling anything or looking at videos just trying to avoid spoilers and pretty much wanting to experience everything for the first time, reying only on my witts. Needless to say that I fcked up a LOT and I died a million times and now that I finished it I feel like a complete dumbass lol a few things I figured out myself but theres sooooo many things that werent intuitive for me. Still I had soooo much fun and can't wait to start again tomorrow with everything I know now.Thanks for the tips!!!
That’s honestly how I like to experience games too, at least for the first playthrough!
Wow!.. you can run around in a suit of armour!?!?!...awesome, can you wield a two-handed sword or polaxe as well? lol
from what i've seen (i'm 14 hours into the game), you can't wield any weapon other than your wand :D but there is a talent that allows your "expelliarmus" spell to hit your enemy with their own weapon (kinda like in the first harry potter movie when Harry defeated the troll by beating him up with its own club)
@@beniamingherman2452 I'm only a few hours into the game so not unlocked that much. I bet some of the PC modder folk will be all over this game at some point, they will try and make Hogwarts in to a Bannerlord expansion haha.
if my gold gear is low level should i keep to eventually upgrade it? (space isnt an issue but i could have even more space if i deleted them.)
Sell it because you’ll get a lot of gold gear and the lower stuff just wont be as good as the stuff you’ll be getting.
How do u unlock the fasttravel flames? Ifound like 20of em im level 11 but idk how to activate em
I answer that in the video. You can fast travel to any of them you’ve activated by using the map.
Small thing that’s really disappointing is when random howlers appear. The student seems so upset while the event is happening. But as soon as it ends they kind of reset and just walk off. I’m really missing the reaction to events in the NPC. Would be amazing if they looked to Skyrim and had NPCs react to events and player actions.
Btw stupefy doesn't break through shields on hard difficulty, just medium or below.
Wow! That's actually pretty cool.
I'm hype for this game
Thanks for the tip on turning the map off. Now that you mention it, I feel like I am constantly looking at it rather than the beautiful game around me.
I feel like ive already done so much in 12 hours and ive only scratched the surface
Yep. I don’t want it to end 😆
The armor suit and using magic and no sword is kinda funny
To me honestly. The game is great. It feels as though this game is more like an introductory action RPG game. Easy and fun. Every element and fundamentals are basic. Hands on but easy to learn. Not very complicated. Like it was for me growing up. Mario RPG was my very 1st taste of that type of game and gave me the confidence to take on bigger more in depth RPG games like Final Fantasy.
I have a couple hours on the game and I am loving it so far! I wanna credit you for getting me excited about it, and it certainly lived up to its hype. Quick question, will you be posting playthrough videos ? I would love to see your gameplay and reaction to the game. Keep it up!
Now that a lot of the reviews are out are the chances of a sequel high?
Very high indeed, I would imagine.
I’m mad I couldn’t get the Merlin’s cloak and I never can. They hosted the livestreams while I was at work
They're planning another to have more streams to give people another chance to get them so keep an eye out for future Avalanche livestreams.
What's the max character level
Can’t find this version of the song anywhere, can you help?
The song used in the video?
@@RetroRaconteur yes
I wonder if the devs would ever consider making a Quidditch game or DLC, seeing how successful Hogwarts Legacy is?
They could for an end of the year surprise. Lore wise the headmaster has quidditch matches banned for the current in game school year which is told at the very start of the game. Same with diving in the lake, they could definitely add it in later in.
Can’t wait to get this game on Friday
Almost time!
Wish you didn't need to reapply the appearance each time you changed gear, or we had a way to save outfits.
how do you get the robe
Twitch Drop from watching the official Avalanche streams. They've said they're going to have more opportunities to get it. It's called the Merlin robe.
how are you so zoomed out i turned up my pov buts its not that much
❤
Also with brooms you can mount them when falling it has saved my life a few times when I misjudged a jump
Where did you get that robe is the question???
It's the Merlin robe. A Twitch drop from watching the official Avalance stream of the game.
Wait Flipendo is in this game too ? 🤩
You love to see it! Such a nice throwback.
I put in a 8 hour play session and it bricked my ps5 lmaoooooo I don’t blame the game because I’ve just done it again on my xbox to catch up and it’s perfectly fine. So disappointed I have to wait a while to play the PS exclusive quest
I only have 14 hours in, but I honestly can’t find anything wrong with this game. This will probably get game of the year. No doubt this is an amazing game. They did such a great job and I’m glad to give them my money.
I'm having a blast so far!
Hey, I put 15 hours into the game before realizing that I didn't need floo powder to fast travel. 😅😅😅
me love game i would supper the game love it the game nuts this is what im been looking for
Happy to hear you're enjoying it, Shawn!
I just want my Merlin robe, I got the drop but it hasn’t shown up in game yet
Make sure you also activate it on the official Hogwarts Legacy site too. You have to activate it there as well, then restart your game and it should pop.
@@RetroRaconteur thanks for the reply, I appreciate it, I did have it connected already for the house themed robes and everything but hopefully it will pop up eventually.
I love how you make it sound like the 6 equipment slots is a low amount or shitty for some reason. Weird.
Not referring to those slots. Referring to the 20 total slots for all of your gear. You'll run out of space very quickly if you aren't selling gear or doing the Merlin puzzles to add more slots.
Do a setup tour
Of my gaming/office setup? Or something in the game?
Office
I wish I could click my bed in my common room to switch from night to day.
I just need this game to support mods and addons. I want people to create their own story lines, NPCs and zones so i can finally play as Harry potter killing death eaters and Voldemort.
You do realise this is set 200 years befor harry and even voldy are born? Would really be a stupid mod to add, since its not even a harry potter game, is a wizarding world game. Harry has nothing to do with any of the story line or lore. Harry potter is used way the fuck to much. We need a new protagonist and main character instead "the twat who lived" tho i did make a harry potter character in Slytherin with the most female voice i could find just to have it show up in the main menu each time i open it.
@@Garthavan Well to each their own, i loved the movies and books. And the good thing about addons and mods is people can make whatever the f*ck they want without having to care about what you think is right or wrong.
Just because you have a preference doesn’t mean other people are forced to like the same thing.
One quality of life improvement would be to not have the gear you are wearing take up from your total inventory slot. That is such bad design, I can't find a good reason for doing that. If you wear it then inventory should be freed up!
if you fly low to the ground, you can infinitely use L2 and the yellow bar will not empty.
👍
What if you don't have the game yet can you still collect the rewards by watching people play the game
Yep! You can indeed. They have an FAQ section explaining it here: www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops
Can you get the rewards without watching anything
@@Colt__the__Bolt Nope, not for the cosmetic "drops." They're done through Twitch and you have to link up your accounts. There's an FAQ on the official HL site.
@@RetroRaconteur if i link my accounts can i still get them without watching anything
@@Colt__the__Bolt No. You have to watch for it to progress and give you the unlock.
"Once you've clicken L3" well, that's a new word... clicken. For some reason, it sorta works, though... lol
Ha! I think in my head I was saying it as "click in L3" 😄 Appreciate you watching to the end, btw.
@@RetroRaconteur Hey, I hope my comment didn't come out as disrespectful or anything. I actually really liked your video & subbed to your channel. I just happened to hear that & was like, whoa that's interesting. But for real, it actually does kinda work. It's not like I didn't understand what you were saying. It kinda sounded like the past tense of take... Taken.. that's probably why it doesn't really sound too off.
But yeah, anyway, great video. I'll be watching your content, especially when they finally do get a sequel made. Cheers mate! 👍
i feel like half these tips are for people who dont play rpgs
I gotta be honest... i really dislike to wear too much stuff in games. Like gloves, hats, etc. I much rather have a clean look of the character i created. That's just me, of course. I hope i don't need to do it just for the upgrade stats.
Every piece of gear can also be set to invisible!
@@RetroRaconteur thanks for telling me, i'm glad they've included this feature.
👍🏻
The parry window on hard is so small, too small if I'm honest.
I just bumped it up to hard yesterday. Really enjoying it so far.
Incorrect. You can’t be anywhere to use a floo flame. You actually have to be somewhat in the vicinity of one. Pretty much anywhere in the castle it’s going to work, but if you’re out in the middle of a field, no.
Hmm. Are you sure about that? I've literally never had it pop up and say I couldn't travel to another floo flame even when I'm out in the world.
Wait, there's only one class ?? Elden ring truly spoiled us
I can’t even play it until April fucks sake
Do not anbi repeat do not always change gear to the highest make due with what you have sell what you don't use or need even if it's higher. If your purple hat has a trait like all damage increased and it's a lol 2 or 3 and you don't have that shit unlocked yet keep it and use it and thank me later
Yeah, these tips are for early game. Traits don't really mean much when you're just starting out. I'm going to make a more advanced video later though on the equipment as you get to higher levels.
@@RetroRaconteur tf they don't traits matter a lot. Increasing damage or resistance of certain spells or creatures. If you find a robe that does 67 and a robe that does 70 but the 67 dmg robe has a lvl 2 or 3 trait for increased resistance against mongrels or wizards or goblins or trolls or has increased damage for all spells it's best to take the one with trait but lower damage then higher damage and no trait. That's early game.
So this game is smaller than the elden ring demo map, and you can only choose the magic clase ?
With flingtrainer i was able to max out the legendary drop rates
