Welcome to Hogwarts Legacy.
You are a new student at the famous school of witchcraft and sorcery with a unique ability to manipulate powerful ancient magic hidden in the wizarding world. You will have to discover what is behind the return of this forgotten magic and who is trying to use it to destroy the wizard child – as you may be the one who decides the fate of the entire wizarding world. But before you can study magic and solve these mysteries, you must create the witch or wizard you want to be.
When you arrive at Hogwarts, you will be placed in one of four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. After settling in to your dorm room, meet your roommates in the common room. You’ll have to take classes then, and you’ll have some catching up to do, since you’re a fifth year starting Hogwarts late.
Life at Hogwarts
You’ll begin your studies with Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, and Potions classes, just to name a few.
Here you will meet your professors and learn to cast spells, grow magical plants, brew potions and more. Between classes, you can explore the castle which is famous for its secrets, enchantments and mysteries. You will discover dungeons and secret passageways, as well as challenging puzzles that require magical skills and a clever mind to solve. You may even end up in iconic locations that you’ve never been able to explore before.
It’s the late 1800s, so while the common areas and classes may be familiar, most of your professors won’t be. Still, you might recognize a few faces.
You’ll get to know this eclectic group of talented witches and wizards in class and while completing side assignments that are part of a special curriculum – one designed to help you catch up with the other fifth-years at your own pace.
A dangerous mystery
There are plenty of opportunities for adventure in the Hogwarts area. The magical skills you master through your schoolwork will soon be put to the test, as you unravel a dangerous mystery by teaming up with the experienced yet enigmatic Professor Fig to try to uncover if rumors of a rising Goblin- rebellion have any weight – and whether the safety of Hogwarts is in the balance.
The wizarding world of this era is fraught with danger: creatures corrupted by a magical power, powerful goblins and sinister witches and wizards, all willing to fight – even kill – to achieve their own ends. There’s even an uneasy alliance between the Goblins and Dark Wizards…
Enemies possess unique defensive and offensive abilities, including curses, stunning spells, enchanted weapons and more. While some can attack you directly, others can enchant and disable you. Mastery of the Shield Charm allows you to ward off spells and perform weapon attacks at a distance. Counter-attack with powerful stunning charms so you can follow with extensive spell combinations.
Students who become particularly adept at casting spells will find many ways to exploit the weaknesses of their enemies. Slam with Descendo, roast with Incendio, destroy your enemies with different Finishers. You can even use the mysterious, powerful magic that your professors don’t understand to wipe out your strongest enemies. By mixing and matching dozens of spells, you can set your fighting style on your path to becoming the ultimate duelist.
Talents and skills
In addition to classes and spells, you have access to a vast array of upgrades, talents, and skills to aid your progress as a wizard. Complete challenges around the world to gain experience. Improve your skills by choosing talents to upgrade your spells, plants and potions to increase their power. Determine which talents best suit your playstyle so you can focus on your favorite types of magic.
You can also loot, buy or craft your own magical gear that will increase your offensive and defensive capabilities in combat gear, can be upgraded and specialized to enable more skills for your chosen playstyle.
Spells aren’t the only tools at your disposal in combat. As you hone your wand skills, you can continue your magical training at Hogwarts, continuing your development as a witch or wizard.
Brew potions that can increase your strength when you need a boost. Grow and use magical plants to storm the battlefield and keep your enemies at bay. You can even unleash deadly Mandrake seedlings to take out unsuspecting enemies.
In the Beasts class, you will learn about a variety of magical beasts that you may encounter both at school and while exploring the world surrounding the castle and grounds.
Learning and mastering broom flying is highly recommended so that you can travel around the world faster.
Some skills can be taught to you by students who become your friends. As you develop relationships with these classmates, they can accompany you on your journey as your companions and over time you will learn their stories.
Natsai Onai is a brave adventurer, driven by the justice she seeks. Poppy Sweeting has a good heart and loves magical creatures – they can interact with them more easily than humans. Not afraid of imprisonment or breaking the rules is Sebastian Sallow, a charismatic Slytherin with a disturbing family secret. You’ll meet these students and more as you explore common areas, hallways between classes, and regular meeting spaces.
The Room of Emergency
One of Hogwarts’ most remarkable secrets is known as the Chamber of Requirement. You are introduced to this space that seems to sense what you need and then provides it for you. Because you have to catch up with your peers, this room offers space to sow and harvest plants, brew potions and upgrade your equipment.
A helpful house elf named Deek helps you discover vivaria that allow you to nurture your own menagerie of magical beasts.
You can freely adapt this space to your personality and magical specialties. Not everything you need on your journey is available at Hogwarts.
Beyond the castle walls
Visit the nearby wizarding village of Hogsmeade, where numerous shops and vendors can supply you with the essentials you need – from potion ingredients and recipes to seeds for magical plants to all sorts of equipment.
But Hogsmeade also has its dangerous side. A band of dark witches and wizards, encouraged by the turmoil of time, roam the village fringes. You have to dodge them – or defeat them.
As you explore, you’ll find that the world surrounding Hogwarts is buzzing with activity, wonders and areas of unusual interest. As the school year progresses, dynamic seasons and climates will fill the sky with lightning or sunshine, or cover the ground with snow or rain.
Unique wizarding hamlets dot the countryside, each with vendors and residents with stories to tell and missions where they could use your help. Be on the lookout for enchanting magical puzzles designed very well by Merlin himself when he was a student at Hogwarts.
Magical beasts roam the land outside the castle walls. Some are damaged by a mysterious dark magic, while others are at risk from poachers and their traps. If you feel benevolent, you can rescue and heal them in the Chamber of Required.
But there are also dangers in the world that are beyond your understanding. Dungeons and vaults contain dangerous threats as well as untold rewards. Be careful where you choose to explore as it can lead you down a darker path.
Master spells. Befriend new allies. Travel through a landscape never seen before. Discover ancient secrets. Fight mystical threats. Learn long forgotten mysteries. Become the witch or wizard you want to be as you make your unique mark on the wizarding world. In here Hogwarts Legacy.
