I'm 75 and very new to gaming. I purchased Elden Ring and followed your tips there so I will do the same here. Thanks for taking time to make and share these excellent and informative videos.
Awesome game on elder
Elden Ring was one of your first games? Holly cow, what a chad
#ElderRing
Wish this guy could be my grandpa
@@mattbergamin9001 Morning, Matt! Thanks for the kind words. I'm enjoying Hogwarts. Taking my time to learn the controls (not use to R2 then pressing the X, Circle, Triangle, of Square) to invoke a spell) and exploring EVERYTHING in the castle. My biggest issue is finding a good setting for camera movement. My sense is when combat starts I get anxious and over correct thus missing my target. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I am.
Just a tip: go always with *stats* over *fashion* since there is a Transmogrification feature. Basically every item you once had in your possession, even if you did sell it, you can take that look and apply it over any other item.
You do this in the same place where you fit you gear just by pressing another button.
So you will end up with stats *and* fashion :)
Took me a while (read: google) to find out where I could change the appearance
This is right- almost felt hidden at first. On PS5 you have to hit the square button on an equipment slot and then it brings up the transmog feature to make any piece look however you want without affecting your stats
Press "F" on your item if using keyboard, for transmog
Yeah you just hover over the item slot in the gear overview where your whole character is visible. Hover over a gear slot without clicking into it and then there is a button for "customize appearance"
So thers is no tradeoff between fashion and stats
X on the Xbox
Oh, so that's why Dumbledore dresses so tacky, the geezer is a minmaxer.
Ha
Just wanted to say that I always have full confidence in clicking on your videos without the fear of being spoiled. I greatly appreciate that!
I like his build videos for every game ever made.
Thanks for such a comment because I didn’t know him so odd I also didn‘t know if I can safely watch this.
My number one tip that I would go back and follow if I could is that while you shouldn't be discouraged from doing a little exploring at the start and along the way, don't get too wrapped up in exploring too early, and try to get to at least the point in the game at which you receive the Alohamora spell. By that point, you'll have nearly all of what makes you functional for any kind of situation or puzzle you may encounter while exploring. Plus, it'll be Autumn, and exploring in Autumn has a much better wizarding vibe than exploring in "September." If you explore every nook and cranny of Hogwarts too soon, you'll miss out on the magic of being organically led to different locations by the story, and you'll also end up doing a lot of back-tracking because there are a lot of points of interaction and doors that require learning various spells in order to access.

Based Fextra for upsetting the Troon horde.
By the way you can alter the appearance of all your gear so always choose the best gear you have and then alter the fashion to your liking !!
Other note: You can sell your gear to any vendor (not just the guy who sells gear). I spend more time at the potion or seed shops. I just sell my unwanted gear to them.
Important tip: always sell items before going on main quests. many of them won't allow you to leave the immediate area without failing the quest. So, if you don't wanna redo half the quest because you forgot to empty your inventory, just sell beforehand.
Agree.... theres no store mechanic so sell EVERYTHING worse than youre wearing all the time. Dont forget, everything you loot stores the look indefinately so if your top gear looks shit you can can change it FOC to anything youve previously found
the loot in this game is so friggen boring! do 6 merlin trials asap to get more space
@@andrhamm Lol dont even get me started on the house token chest
@@rtorbs I was disappointed with it too... it looks cool but seriously... that's all we get?!
Is there a bank (Gringott's) or chest in your dorm room where you can store crap you don't want to carry around with you?
A couple things: If you skipped the hint in this video, here is a non spoiler hint. The doors puzzles are confusing, but if you search through Hogwarts you can find an item that explains what you need to know for the puzzle.
Also, as a couple other people have mentioned, you can make any piece of equipment look like any other piece of equipment by pressing the button for "appearance". That way you can go for stats and not worry about looking like the dorky kid at the mall in Christmas Story.
I figured out the Arithmancy doors within five minutes of being let loose in Hogwarts. Seemed pretty straightforward to me once I realized what I was looking at. Finally found the item that explains the puzzles after I'd already opened a half-dozen doors lol
There are a few indicators that the icons on the door start at 0. The unicorn is 1. A 3 headed snake is 3. A crab with 5 legs is 5. A spider (8 legs) is 8, and the hydra at number 9 has 9 heads. There was also a page I found at one of these doors, near the divination tower I believe, that straight up tells you the number association.
Yeah those creature pics are a dead giveaway if you use a little common sense lol
OOOOHHH! I NEVER noticed that! You’re so smart!!
I found the study guide page pretty early on, but I never noticed the creatures having number associations. Thanks!!
I noticed that the zero is a Demiguise...which can disappear, or become nothing. So clever of the design team.
I finally purchased a PS5. I can’t wait to fully experience it after waiting for 3 long years. It was time for an upgrade, I still love my ps4.
I recommend Returnal and the Demon’s Souls Remake.
I loved my ps4, but gave it to my sister and her husband after getting my ps5. The games mentioned above are great. Plus Cyberpunk 2077 is actually good now.
@@BasketCase-rr7tx 100% both of these games!
Congratulations and enjoy the gaming experience, it's gonna be a helluva good one that's for sure with all the amazing ps5 exclusives
Only been out for 2 years and 3 months fella so that's a lie.
The most important thing is to pet every cat you see. No idea if there’s a trophy, but it’s just so _cute_ !
Seriously, though, I’m loving the castle. It’s so much more gorgeous than the movies. It’s stunning.
I didnt think I would be the only one that has to pet every cat I find 🤣❤️🤣
I’ve been doing that because I love cats.
I saw someone else try to explain those door puzzles, and it was so much more complicated. Thanks, cant wait to play~
Took me half the game to figure out you can manually switch day and night in your map. So many times I was sitting around waiting for night to come. It's your "wait" key in the map menu.
They literally make u do it at the beginning of the game lol
Thank you for this very useful info. Looking forward to more guides.
Thanks for your content.
I'll go with the wand I got Pottermore/WW. 12" Dogwood Wood with a Unicorn core and slightly springy flexibility. I skipped on the Door Puzzle part and just listened to the audio for most of the video because I wanted to go into the game as blind as possible, but the excitement is killing me! 😅
Was so proud when I figured out the door puzzle without looking things up, really satisfying
I hate puzzles so I don't even try to solve one without looking it up.
you can change the appearance of your gear to the style everything you've collected so far. Even when you sell the gear, it remembers the way it looks for your collection.
Another fantastic video, thank you for providing the content I used to spend hours looking for
Owyeah a video exactly why I'm subbed to this channel, early tips videos to make your gaming experience better!
thank you, last tips and tricks video i clicked on show every major fight possible within the first 15 seconds of the video. i appreciate you not spoiling the whole game in a tips and tricks video
Can't wait to play it this evening! I really hope PC performance is not too bad.
Reports indicate that PC performance is fucked.
G'Day man,
Brilliant video. I started playing last night and am loving it so far. You definitely did'nt spoil anything for me, especially as O skipped the door explanation bit.
Subscribing to your web site when I bought ER laste year was invaluable too. Amazing resource for gamers like us.
Thanks again.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. The first video I found in this catagory told me the base story, mechanics, things that are in the game, ect... ya know, stuff I wanted to be a surprise >_< So thank you for offering actual game play tips I should know before playing and for not spoiling anything for me.
Thanks for the tips! Very good video!!!
Thank you for the door puzzle guide. I did think it was 1 to 10. Never occurred it started at 0. Game is great so far and running smoothly on PC
Also respect man, your the first youtuber that i encountered who isnt a Slytherin or Griffindor
For the puzzle door. Just do the gobstone quest early and it will lead you to right near the solver page
One thing that I really like about the game is the clothing. As you find different clothes with better abilities, you can change the appearance of those clothes to something you like better without losing the buffs. So if you find a look you like, you can keep it as you find better gear. It's a nice little touch. And then you go on and cover it in the video. NICE!
As always, great info while protecting us from disappointing spoilers. Always my go-to for tricks and tips. \
Will you be doing any kind of build videos? Is that even a thing in this game? I've been purposely avoiding watching videos that would tell me much of anything about skills and spells and such so I can discover it all on my own.
Thank you very much!
thank you so much for this video! really amazing!
Looking forward for your Hogwarts Legacy videos in the future!
Tip number one ignore all the bad press about the game
What bad press ?
@@ANIMshit Just some mentally ill psychos on Twitter and Reddit. Nothing to worry about.
Played the first several hours last night, and my goodness, this game is DEEP, I wasn’t prepared for it but I’m so here for it.
@@feelsgoodman420 the level of attention to world building details from the source material and the attention to freedom of movement and intrinsically root gameplay elements being ironed on release for the most part have been refreshing. The continuous backlash between people and the devs of gaming companies trying to afford them products and experiences they like is often hindered by the continued profligate hate in the industry by “fans” forcing developers to break down their otherwise vision of a game environment for what might “make the least waves” and people are surprised by the games turning out with “less” than they “should have”. Honestly people, what’s the point of arguing about what didn’t make the cut? If they weren’t trying really hard to make this a faithful and otherwise fun rendition of the material, they’d have made something else.
The door puzzle… i stumbled on the right combination and unlocked the door without “solving” it, and the clue immediately disappeared, so I couldn’t use my work to learn the solution 😂
I'm so excited to play this when I get off my night audit shift. Got the game preloading, deluxe edition shelled out for, and PC ready to do its thing.
I'm probably going to spend my entire couple hours before bed exploring the starting area. Haven't played a potterverse game since 2009
You aren't going to play this until 1 p.m. eastern time. Unless something changes.
@@ChrisF_1982 he can change his location to New Zealand, been playing since 6am on 2/6 with this.
@@calebstevens9446 I was talking about pc. On steam it's universally 1 p.m. Unfortunately, that trick won't do anything for us. I appreciate the suggestion, but only wished it worked. I'm guessing you are indeed on console.
Hell yeah brother
@@ChrisF_1982 You're right, game loads at 10am pacific time. So I'll head home, hit the sack, then get up three or four hours before I have to go back to work.
Or just call in sick.
Wish I saw this before hitting my first puzzle door... I said, "I see no rhyme or reason for this, though the number are important" and just rotated the question mark panels and tried the door each rotation 😭. I opened almost all of them until I found the cheat sheet in the rafters on the opposite end of a classroom and next to three more puzzle doors.
playing these game like going to a theme park! everything is magical!
I’m very excited to play the game so I greatly appreciate the guide, it’s great not being totally clueless first time in😂
I kinda never understood why people like these kind of videos So much. When im excited about a game i dont want to know anything about it And discovering it all by myself. But hey, Its important you have fun your own way Brother 🤜
Quick question when should you take a break from the story and do exploration and side questions as there are a lot of locked stuff
With the door puzzles you can find a code sheet in hogwarts found it quite early on
Great upload with incredible Intel. I’m purchasing this on Xbox Series X store.👍🏼
Nice video. ✌️
Just wanted to say, that U can keep stats and fashion, cus u can change every items appearance. ;) 😉
Best gaming channel by far . Good job
Good info to know. Can't wait to get started playing later today.
Suggestions for graphics setting? I'm leaning balanced if vrr works on my tcl otherwise performance as 60hz is always preferred.
Got same tv went with performance seems best option,but u find otherwise let me know lol
Thanks for the tips, I can't wait to get my hands on this game!!!
I didn't plan on buying this but but your video today have me real tempted now. Thanks for keeping the spoilers to a minimum.
Fex: /Don't get hung up on character creation/
me: Spends 2-3 hours creating a new character when starting any game with character creation
Proud to say I just brute forced the first door puzzle by trying every combination and afterwards realized how the numbers work.
My only gripe with the game is as someone who deliberately "goes the wrong way" on purpose in RPGs so I dont miss something I'm frustrated when I dont know if I have the correct spell or unlock to do a puzzle or open a door yet. There seems to be a TON of backtracking in this game.
Too much backtracking in certain games will annoy me, but Hogwarts is so magical, and I really want to memorize its layout, so I have no issue going to the same places over and over again, especially because I usually try to navigate by sight rather than mini-map.
Regarding the appearance over stats, I would advise picking the best stats every time and then going in and changing the appearance to whatever you want... that feature of Hogwarts Legacy is absolutely amazing!
you can change the way your clothes look so if you want a hat but think its ugly you can still select that hat but make it look like a different one or get rid of it all together. So I would prioritize stats
I know when a game is coming out that I’m iffy on getting. You will always give a good fair review of the game and I can’t wait to play!
preloading it now :D hope people enjoy when they get to play it :D
I love how they did the fast travel in this!!
Please whats the best time to explore the world? After what main quest
i did find an (some sort of) explanation of the secret door puzzle in the astrology tower. I think near the divination classroom.
Thank you ❤
Great stuff. Was debating on skipping the door puzzle section and ended up doing so. Always fun to figure it out on your own, but if I do get stumped I'll take a look.
Gonna have a ton of fun with this one, I can tell. Not 100% sure which house I'll go for first - I love Hufflepuff, but I have a specific character I want to make for it who's gonna be extremely specialized (if possible). Basically a hippie witch that mainly uses plants and potions instead of her wand because she was cursed with being constantly high and believes she's actually just a muggle having hallucinations. Why yes, I WAS high when I thought of this character lol.
Of course a character THAT specialized means I need to know the ins and outs of this game, so having her be my first one would be a bad idea.
happy seeing it as a culmination of the HP franchise like the LEGO games, the activities, platforming, and puzzles were reminiscent of the OG HP titles on PS1.
delays are worth it.
I’m so freaking stoked to play this game in April 😍 Watching these types of videos to get excited but not spoiled lol
Wow I love how the whole gear/inventory system is exactly like AC Valhalla and Odyssey. It’s like identical it’s like a Harry Potter AC game
Are there any gameplay pros and cons with the wand types you can select?
I think I heard somewhere that the wand choices are mostly cosmetic
i can't unsee the io tips on the thumbnail
Do we know if there is a way to increase the size of how much gear we can hold? Or are we limited to a preset amount of slots?
Solve Merlin trials and it will increase the number of slots. You have to solve more and more trials to get slots increase though. And the increase is only 4 at a time. I am on my fourth increase and only have 36 slots. Spend time advancing the main quests before exploring too much too far as you may lack the appropriate spell at first.
I wish there was a stat counter on spell usage.
I have probably used Revelio 8,838,371 times already LOL
For real. I've been pretty turned off from so many games the past couple years. The last good RPG I think I actually enjoyed and took my time was Ghosts Of Tsushima.
This is a real one. Take your time. Breath it all in.
Took me 8 hours to unlock the damn Room of Requirement LOL
Just a nit pick, but according to wizarding world lore it was very common to switch out wands before Garrick started his research, and different wands with different cores cost different amounts of money because Garrick hadn't yet standardized the price, so if you wanted a good core but didn't have the money, you'd have to buy it later.
The ringing during revelio only happens when there are pages nearby!
You should also make a point to COMPLETE THE TEACHER'S ASSIGNMENTS QUICKLY! I just lost hours of progress because I needed a spell I didn't have.
good to see this video 3 days after I started playing😂
So, uh... That whole bit about "fashion" you can pretty much forget. This game has transmog (meaning you can equip the best gear and freely change how it looks). I dunno how this guy didn't know that.
Maybe I missed something but you can sell gear at any vendor. As best as I can tell they all have the same price.
Thank you.
I heard there is a wand handle transmog, can you elaborate?
Really appreciate the door tip, I'm almost 30 hours in and I'd basically given up on them
one trick I discovered is Stupify 100% does not care about shields it will just break them, so I loaded my self with Fire spells and Accio and use Stupify for shields
My wife has never really played a video game before but I got this for her. She said she just wanted to watch me play but I forced her to make a character and play. It was excruciating watching her control the camera and stuff at first, but she's been playing like I do Dark Souls or Elden ring. Like 6 to 7 hours at a time, nonstop. she's so addicted and it's awesome.
Collect pages they'll level you up quick in the beginning.
You can sell your gear at ANY vendor, but just the clothing shop.
Absolutely loving the game!!
Started playing this yesterday and that door puzzle I ended up googling because it was a pain. Then immediately found a piece of paper that told me how to do it. Realise all the puzzles probably work the same ak gonna avoid and kind of googling and just play now.
Few points:
1. Go for gear stats, as you can apply appearance
2. You can sell your gear to anyone, I think all the merchants give same price
3. Wands customisation is cosmetic only, it doesn’t have stats
4. Enemy scales with your level so you won’t get over level for main quest
Slight SPOILER..
5. Be wary of a certain character’s side quests as it will give you dark arts but it’ll impact that particular storyline (this is what I’ve gathered so far)
Side note on dark arts, you can do the side quests and refuse to learn them in your dialog choices.
Spoiler the only choice that matters is the end choice
Second even if you have the dark ones unlocked
For the moment I have a 4 year old gaming laptop with nvidea 1050 ti... So "Fast Travel" takes almost as long as walking there with a lot of lag
I do wish the game would tell you that you only get one wand, or allow you at least one change or something. I like the one I made but I’m big on aesthetics so I don’t use handles. None of them I feel matches very well with my wand.
Im surprised to see you haven't done dark and draker
Are you going to cover Steam Deck performance? This is where I want to play the game but I'm concerned the experience will be unstable and awkward.
I didn't get the game on PC unfortunately.
Wait until after 1 p.m eastern time. That is when steam releases.
It’s steam deck verified already. Developer confirmed 😃
I know in one of the classrooms it's on the black board of the meaning of the animals (numbers )
I'm watching this after I've played for a few hours, lol 😆
My only issue with the gear system / mechanic is that I am a loot goblin, and a fan of completionism. So if you have to sell things to make room in your inventory, that will become an issue at some point. I am one of those people that hates to get rid of things. I am always terrified that I will need something later. Also what if you sell something then later on think 'hmm I liked the look or features of X, Y, or Z better'. Can you buy things back or once sold they are gone?
I haven't played yet, but from gameplay I've seen, and other comments here... "Looks" won't matter. Once you've picked up an item, you can forever make another piece of gear look like that item (honestly, surprised Fextra didn't point that out... Maybe it's a feature unlocked later in the game? I'm not sure on that point).
As for the stats/mechanics of the items... Yeah... Not sure on that.
@@alexsawickiyou can unlock more space for your inventory once you got through the story a little bit . Merlin’s Trials will be something to look out for . Not going to spoil it for you .
Is the game hard ? What difficulty are you playing on? I dont know if I should play medium or hard? I like a challenge.
It's not a hard game. I play on Hard. If you like a challenge you likely won't find it much in this game, but Hard is your best bet.
Even the witch and wizard dormitories are different 😮😮😮
The game is great so far. I hope they fix the HDR and Ray Tracing bugs. That's really my only complaint is the optimization isn't great, it's good, not great.
why do you recommend fashion over stats if transmog exists?
just change apparence (square on ps5), you dont need to go always fashion over stats....
Is there new game plus and ai companions?
Fashion over stats 😂 I love this advice.
i beat the game 2 times now and i am about to play again watching this to see if there is anything i dont know already the game plays good on ps4
thought the Sorting hat form the start of the game would give me the same experience as the vigor tester and Rorschach test by Doc Mitchell from FONV w/ dynamic writing.. i expect too much from Avalanche Studios, but its always a welcome one.
