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.
@@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 :)
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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 🤜
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.
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
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 😅
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!
Character creation is unfortunately pretty shallow, and voice pitch is sounds very artificial and synthesized, they did well with hair options at least. The sorting ceremony was disappointing as well, I was really hoping for a personality quiz or anything. I just started a couple hours ago so those are my only issue so far. Also Headmaster Black is dripped out af
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 😂
Oh No the game is ruined now! My favorte part of any game is getting stuck on an annoying Puzzle that isn't well explained and admitting defeat. Then finally getting frustrated enough to TH-cam / Google it. Haha but seriously thank you, I HATE getting stuck on stuff like that. I was talking with my friends the other day and said "I'm pretty sure most video games now are designed for people to get stuck on things that are nearly impossibly to figure out, knowing they will look it up anyways just to enhance difficulty." I'd say some of the only guides I used growing up was Mario 64 to find all the Stars and Mortal Kombat just to look up all moves and fatalities. Being in my 30s, feels like I'm looking up stuff way more then I should.
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.
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
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! 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.
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.
I’m in the monitory but I actually really dislike the wand customiser. I wanted a specific wand in a specific colour but it’s impossible as each wand design only has three set colours. Who the fuck wants a pink wand? That’s not realistic. Most, if not all Wands are shades of black, brown and beige/white. Wood isn’t pink. At least, not any of the woods available in game. (Yes I know you can varnish or paint wood, but they don’t, that’s not a thing)
"Byou're gonna be able to change your gender... byou're gonna be able to change your face... byou're gonna be able to change your eye color... byou're gonna be able to change your hair..." I honestly can't tell which of these are a positive and which are a negative. I get from the context that it's a mix, but I can't discern which is which from what you said.
It sounded very clear to me. You won't be able to change your gender or face, but you will be able to change your hair style, hair color, scars, and eye color.
If you're too lazy to watch the video, first 2 hours of the game you will pretty much learn most of it if not all. I'd say enoy the game the way you want it and play at your own phase as you will only get to experience that first game feeling once.
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!
One gripe I have with meeting friends from your house, that is so superficial. Other than "hi we met in the common room", there is no affinity or make any difference. On the topic of named students, I wish we can do friend activity with them like GTA 4. Hey Natty, you wanna go bowling at the Accio balls? Or hey Everett, wanna race broom time trials? Heck, I would even like to challenge miss smarty pants Imelda to wizard chess. Even Zenobia, I would play gobstones with her.
Wizard Fight Club! I would be glad to sandbox select a team partner and select 2 or 4 other kids to fight against. Its in the story line, pls let us sandbox this Wizard Fight Club!
This video feels like it was written by someone who’s played like 2 video games in their entire life. Every one of these tips, with the exception of the puzzle, was just explaining basic elements of any game
Also what are they smoking to think this is a “role play heavy game.” Don’t get me wrong I’m really enjoying the game, but there’s not a single choice you can make throughout the game, to the point that you can’t even refuse people’s quests. There will be dialogue choices that clearly reject characters side quests however the actual dialogue forces you into accepting anyway
The door puzzle was the only thing that got me, there is no hint whatsoever to what value the first symbol is. I seriously had to google since I didn't understand how this could be wriong, that's a simple puzzle, what is the issue. yeah, that is the issue, wh would have guessed.
There is a full explanation how that door puzzle works, including a collectable "cheat sheet" you can find in one of the classrooms (not classrooms of the teachers you interact with, mind you, but something that looks like it would be the Arithmancy classroom).
Bud. You missed something kinda big... "focus on appearance over stats" There is transmog. Equip your best crap and just change the appearance of it. Its part of my cycle. *Gets new better hat* *Equips hat and hates the look* *transmog to what i had before*
Just so everyone knows, you DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO a special place to sell. Literally, 90 percent of vendors will buy your gear. The only exception is beast sellers.
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.

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
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.

@@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?
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.
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!

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!!

Was so proud when I figured out the door puzzle without looking things up, really satisfying

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.
Absolutely loving the game!!
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’m in the monitory but I actually really dislike the wand customiser. I wanted a specific wand in a specific colour but it’s impossible as each wand design only has three set colours.
Who the fuck wants a pink wand? That’s not realistic. Most, if not all Wands are shades of black, brown and beige/white. Wood isn’t pink. At least, not any of the woods available in game. (Yes I know you can varnish or paint wood, but they don’t, that’s not a thing)
Is fextra Canadian? He double said Aboot about a couple times. Lol
"Byou're gonna be able to change your gender... byou're gonna be able to change your face... byou're gonna be able to change your eye color... byou're gonna be able to change your hair..."
I honestly can't tell which of these are a positive and which are a negative.
I get from the context that it's a mix, but I can't discern which is which from what you said.
It sounded very clear to me. You won't be able to change your gender or face, but you will be able to change your hair style, hair color, scars, and eye color.
The ringing during revelio only happens when there are pages nearby!
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
Booting it up right now, hell yeah
How are you playing 3 days early ?
@@khalilwilson2586 Preordering the deluxe edition
@@EntekiaX didn’t know, if I buy it from the ps store tonight I can play it tomorrow after work?
@@khalilwilson2586 If you have it on PS5 yes.
@@khalilwilson2586 yes, on PS5, I wasn't gonna preorder, but I saw some good reviews and figured 3 extra days is worth the $10
If you're too lazy to watch the video, first 2 hours of the game you will pretty much learn most of it if not all.
I'd say enoy the game the way you want it and play at your own phase as you will only get to experience that first game feeling once.
Thank you very much!
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.
just change apparence (square on ps5), you dont need to go always fashion over stats....
I wish Every Flavor Beans were a real thing. But I'm sure that would violate a slew of health codes if they were real.
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
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.
You are stuck with your wand but you can customize it as much as you want, not really like the lore where the wand chooses you.
playing these game like going to a theme park! everything is magical!
Best gaming channel by far . Good job
I know in one of the classrooms it's on the black board of the meaning of the animals (numbers )
Do not prioritize fashion over stats. That's just dumb. This game the stats are worth a lot.
I will say this game has surprised me. Its very good. Goty so far. Its gonna be tough to beat this title.
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!
Go to Hufflepuff if you want to visit azkaban, since it's the only way.
You can sell your gear at ANY vendor, but just the clothing shop.
preloading it now :D hope people enjoy when they get to play it :D
fashion over stats, wow what a horrible thing to say when playing an rpg..........
number one thing to know tho: you're putting money into a transphobes pocket..
Prioritze fashion over stats? You can transmog anything you want.
Steam preload is up!
I have a ps4. So I won’t be playing this game for another 12 years. Just saying.
Ye il be youtubimg that puzzel thats confusing as fuck
One gripe I have with meeting friends from your house, that is so superficial. Other than "hi we met in the common room", there is no affinity or make any difference. On the topic of named students, I wish we can do friend activity with them like GTA 4. Hey Natty, you wanna go bowling at the Accio balls? Or hey Everett, wanna race broom time trials? Heck, I would even like to challenge miss smarty pants Imelda to wizard chess. Even Zenobia, I would play gobstones with her.
Wizard Fight Club! I would be glad to sandbox select a team partner and select 2 or 4 other kids to fight against. Its in the story line, pls let us sandbox this Wizard Fight Club!
If I drank a shooter every time you say "the game" ... 🤤😄
i can't unsee the io tips on the thumbnail
Polyjuice potion can't change your gender.
Looking forward for your Hogwarts Legacy videos in the future!
I like how a tip is don't go to Google
Go on, say the word "game" just another time...
This video feels like it was written by someone who’s played like 2 video games in their entire life. Every one of these tips, with the exception of the puzzle, was just explaining basic elements of any game
Also what are they smoking to think this is a “role play heavy game.” Don’t get me wrong I’m really enjoying the game, but there’s not a single choice you can make throughout the game, to the point that you can’t even refuse people’s quests. There will be dialogue choices that clearly reject characters side quests however the actual dialogue forces you into accepting anyway
The door puzzle was the only thing that got me, there is no hint whatsoever to what value the first symbol is. I seriously had to google since I didn't understand how this could be wriong, that's a simple puzzle, what is the issue. yeah, that is the issue, wh would have guessed.
There is a full explanation how that door puzzle works, including a collectable "cheat sheet" you can find in one of the classrooms (not classrooms of the teachers you interact with, mind you, but something that looks like it would be the Arithmancy classroom).
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.
Bud. You missed something kinda big...
"focus on appearance over stats" There is transmog. Equip your best crap and just change the appearance of it.
Its part of my cycle.
*Gets new better hat*
*Equips hat and hates the look*
*transmog to what i had before*
Just so everyone knows, you DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO a special place to sell. Literally, 90 percent of vendors will buy your gear. The only exception is beast sellers.
Didn't spoil really anything with the game
