The camera swaying off to the sides and not staying behind the broom is whats messing me up i think i have to guess approach angle sometimes on rings and bubbles
I hear you, though you do sort of get used to that as you constantly repeat it. It's difficult to explain, but you can anticipate it. I know I keep repeating it, but constant practice is key here.
I did not got very into broom racing before mostly because of the conbinaton of manoverability of brooms up and down slow and drift a lot to sides but some practice would help but the fixed camera distance on top make perception of circles horrible even after passing them and making correction to go near the center is hard and is may mess the flight to line up bubbles and the upgrades only give speed and longer boost, at least that was my experience but as transport and summon they are way better than hippos or thestrals since they dont get any upgrade, talent or enchanting on equip to stay relevant, except the King, it may be land ( and sea) only and you only get 2 quests before endgame but its the only way to travel now, i dont know the especifics of speed but it feels awesome and you can go ram speed to go faster and pulverize anything or anyone who got in the way and the auto jumps are there just to showcase how obsolete the other mounts become but the last patch had especific description on brooms for fixing unstable lost of speed on turns and hight being balanced on depending on the change, i heard that this makes way better for races and low altitude flights for scouting, also the revelion on flight is supposed to be fixed.
There's no sense trying without the upgrades, I was stuck like an hour, then I continue the main missions and I unlock the first upgrade, then I tried again and I did at first try
@@blippedyblop I’ve tried lowering the sensitivity on the camera turn because that’s what’s messing me up the most. If you’re were on default, that’s nuts
@@blippedyblopYes! I turned it down all the way because I guess the frame rate of my Sony tv is very high and looks even faster than this, and I’ll miss 2-5 and I’m now down to being a literal second too late. So my self control is definitely being tested lmao
The only controls I changed were WASD to cursor keys, and left shift and control to their respective right hand side keys, as I use a left handed setup.
@@octapusxft Basically, yes. I do have a Razer Naga (left handed) which I count as a decent mouse, and I guess the constant practice of going over the course repeatedly hones muscle memory.
@@octapusxft You don't. But you certainly want to have the best viewpoint, and you'll use the mouse to constantly shift the camera. A good, comfortable mouse helps where using it is intuitive. That said, yes, the keyboard controls are quite clunky.
Showoff!! 😜I'm at 100% completion if not for "Skies the Limit". These obviously simple broom trials are hurting my hands. I've been under a second twice but the damn AI flyer distracts me. I'd Avada Kedavra him if I could. On my Xbox it looks like I'm steering with my knees in a hurricane. Maybe it's because I'm almost 72 y/o. Gotta blame something. Thanks for showing me how it's done. I've got to slowdown and let the orbs do the job. 👍
I can promise you, it was not without enormous effort. It took me many, many tries. Gradually, I got closer and closer to beating Ruby Wiel's time. All I can say is that by constantly trying, you will develop a muscle memory and get better. Eventually, you will persevere! My primary goal was to show how it can be done, and allow for others to get it as well. I'm sure you will too!
@@blippedyblop Thanks man, this video did the trick for me. You made it look so simple, I'm glad you didn't beat Ruby's time on your first run. Did you have many glitches? I've had several. I guess there's a bug preventing me from accessing the leprechan overcoat for all side-quests. It's a bummer grinding for 100% & that happens. I thought I missed something but nope. It still says 31/32 side quests even after finally passing that broom trial 😡Thanks again, great game just too many errors.
@@davidgilmour9447 Not so many glitches, so much as just having to deal with an increasingly aging PC and hardware, and the performance as a consequence. I do think it is a fantastic game, with a beautiful setting and atmosphere!
I think you’re just more talented I almost flew into a rage after and hour and getting 1:32.09 twice in a row. What did it actually take you maybe 10 tries?
@@FaceItn-oi4cu My guess is 20 on the 2nd and 30 on the last. (I'm on Xbox and it felt like I was driving with my knees. Great game though, the only achievement I missed was "Use Ancient Magic on all enemies". Get this, I didn't use Ancient Magic on ANYTHING. I thought it was only for throwing objects with the RH button. What an idiot! 😜
@blippedyblop no I didn't finish and I think I will never be able to do it. I can never beat the time. The controller basically goes super left or super right and I can't get in the hoop..😩😫
@@lukeshampton7368 Doesn't matter which broom, that's merely a cosmetic aspect. It's not just about getting every bubble (which isn't a disaster if you miss one. It's also about shaving time off with preparing for the next ring, and the next one and so on. This requires minimising turning and descending/ descending (not easy to do when simultaneously trying to hit the bubbles). If you notice in the video at a certain point you should see you catch up with the ghost (mannequin), it really take that long with all these efforts just to catch up with it. Keep trying, though. It took me MANY attempts to get it. Gradually, I would shave off more and more time, until I finally got it!
I'm inclined to agree. That then opens the Pandora's box over what they could have done to truly make the most of broomstick flying. Perhaps some tiny aspect like Quidditch!
This video wasn’t helpful. It’s often easier to achieve that when you’re on a PC or desktop, not on a console. I cut the corners and take to the insides of the turns, missed not a single bubble (unlike in your video), and still come up far too short of a win.
It’s nice to see that it can be done. Glad to know I won’t be doing them soon

You missed a bubble and still beat it. Insane.
Just got 01:32:04 because of ur tips, ty.
@@WondrousHello Congratulations! I'm really glad it helped.
Everytime they say go for a litle challenge, my reaction will be an eye-roll and "not again!" face.
It's insane how tight these races are, gg
But with plenty of practice, absolutely doable!
The face they bind the camera angle control the same as up/down is just criminal

This is absolutely hell on a controller.
I can only imagine!
Thanks for the guide! I somehow got 1:31.38 and I never felt satisfied like this.
Literally missed 0 bubbles in race 2 and still couldnt beat the time....
Yo I was on this course so long that I beat the Slytherin girl at day and it was still night time and then it turned to day again….
The race needs a god dam nerf…
It should not be that hard
It is challenging. But most definitely doable, with perseverance.
I finally got it after like three hours I got 1.32.02
@@falconx9205 Well done!
There's no sense trying without the upgrades, I was stuck like an hour, then I continue the main missions and I unlock the first upgrade, then I tried again and I did at first try
The challenge, of course.
@@blippedyblop Maybe if there's some kind of reward, but there isn't
I suddenly find my self standing in the middle of the race. How do i keep the freakin broom to keep flying and never stop?
This broom trial is dumb
And yet, great fun.
I was on the right track before this video, but this confirmed it and helped me get my own 1:32.07 lol
Congratz!
i beat it, but a steam achievement is missing
I’m to the point to where I’d gladly pay somebody who could accomplish this flawlessly to log into my account and do it for me. Ridiculous
It took me hours. But perseverance pays off, each time you incrementally get better and better. Eventually, you will beat it!

What are you using for your control settings?
Keyboard and mouse.
@@blippedyblop I was referring to your broom settings.
did you changed the controls cause the default mouse controls are so annoying for precise control
The only controls I changed were WASD to cursor keys, and left shift and control to their respective right hand side keys, as I use a left handed setup.
@@blippedyblop so it was practically the same then.
@@octapusxft Basically, yes. I do have a Razer Naga (left handed) which I count as a decent mouse, and I guess the constant practice of going over the course repeatedly hones muscle memory.

I find it so difficult in swith lite. I can't beat Imelda Reyes in the 2nd trial. Lol.
why dont u use the acceleration button?
Which button is that 🤔
The angle on my camera always throws me off so I can never beat the race😡
What setup are you using?
@@blippedyblop whatever the default is…🤷🏻♀️
@@michellebermudez6088 I mean as in are you using M+K, or controller?
You make look so easy
Definitely not easy! This took many, many attempts.
10 hours spent trying to beat it on ps5, 01:32:59 personal best atm. Its fun......
Current record on stock broom is 1:32:34, and I’m stubborn so I refuse to progress til I beat theirs. I’ll probably be here for a while lol.

Good strategy. The problem is that the controls are so poor and non-intuitive that these races are almost impossible.
This trial was driving me insane but I finally beat it 1:32.05 that was harder than any souls game i swear!
I swear I missed no bubbles and followed every tip closest I’ve gotten is 132.45
Plz help
I also got the stock broom that says it’s meant for speed soooo idkkk

I love it and to fly is the best part of the game!
I missed a checkpoint and still got 1:30.8 insane lol
Didn't think that's possible without upgrades, no?
Definitely impossible without upgrades. My best time without upgrades with super tight angles was 1:31:97
Got to 1.36 only while having a cold 😅
Thus proving that desperately needing to urinate or being ill improves one's skills dramatically!
