i like it tbh you can do a lot more than i thought it’s not just cheap and phoned in it’s actually pretty extensive for somthing i didn’t get to till like 10 hours in 😂
I like it, but I'd be surprised if I do anything more than set the look I like and leave it forever, despite having knickknacks given to me. Decent "player home" though. Love being able to consolidate all my crafting and stuff
Also did you notice some of your beasts have a little mark next to their name ? Some of mine have it too Next to the gender icon, I wonder what that means ? I’m spoiled by Pokémon to assume that’s some kind of shiny/rare marking
I honestly don't like it,, the concept is cool but seems to me they should have swapped the requirements room with the dark arts arena. It really bugs me why they want you to set up shop in the requirements room, that should have been the training area. What happens end of year???? Why decorate a room that doesn't exist?? Why didn't they just put that spot in a actual house, a vibarium inside a secret room inside a secret room, just makes zero sense having it in the room in Hogwarts. What happens if your feeding your beast and someone else comes in?? Also why do we have these huge vivarium's if you can add only a couple animals to it??? Let us purchase a spot, and its ours or change the dark arena with the requirements room. To me its like trying to decorate an airb&b
I’m the kind of guy that likes clearing every side quest before I move to the next story quest, so by the time I unlocked beasts, I already had a TON of potion ingredients.
I’d imagine it’s because that way you can do things after the main questline, since the ending’s rather anticlimactic and if you have nothing to do after it it’s pretty boring
I started out this way however the game was designed in a way to get you to play both main and side quests concurrently - you get to unlock conjurations but for you to get the Loom you’d have to go back to Deeks quest.
I made a corner of the main room a Deek space. He has a little chair, a chess table, and most importantly, the stand with the sock. I also placed a few mannequins to give him more clothes. He is free and can come and go as he wants. I also coloured everything red and green to match the tartan cloth he is wearing. It’s my fave space in the room of requirement.
He belongs to Hogwarts, he's not yours to free. but if you're playing on PlayStation there's an exclusive quest that nets you a shop in Hogsmead and an elf to work in it. during the quest you can find a little elf sized hat and give it to her, freeing her, but she'll continue to work in your shop as a free elf (wearing the hat) the shop generates no passive income, but gets you a better price when selling your extra gear to her.
@elainechan6388 I think it's Playstation exclusive content. It's a "haunted house" mission. in the end, you get a shop that gives you a slightly better price to sell gear
I created a space for him as well. I put all the house elf skulls on a wall about the height of his face and at the end of the row I placed a mirror for him.
5:36 Pro tip: on tables that have more than one pot or potion to collect from, you can examine one pot and collect each by clicking left or right on the D-pad instead of walking along the table to each pot to collect complete crafts.
Yeah I don’t like having the room all lined up with those tables, looks absolutely dumb, decorate the room how you want and I get moonstones when I’m out so I don’t need to remove all the items in there either, later you can add the thing you can get moonstones from, set up multiple
At 20 hours in, the room of requirement is INSANE if they released a game that was only just about catching beasts and you had the whole room that’s in this game with all the customization in the room itself and the vivariums then oh my god that game alone would be great. The room of requirement in this game is just Amazing
Love that you can make things really small. I gave the elf his own little space 🤣🤣 got a desk, chair, the dress thing so he can have a private space lmao
There's quite a few QOL things in this game that I wish other games would just default to. Buy one pack of seeds, never need to buy again. Equipment can be transmogged at all times etc. But they don't due to MTXs.
It works with hogwarts because it's all magic. Other games should put a mechanic where you get seeds from the plants you harvest. That way it doesn't take away from the immersion.
The hopping pot is actually really good! Getting random potions every time I visit the room with no material cost is surprisingly valuable, it really cuts down on the number I need to craft myself. Every potion recipe requires at least one ingredient you need to collect in the world, so even with all the planters in the world your potion output will be limited by these resources. Getting extras for free is wonderful. Another tip I would recommend is the small plant box with 5 pots, as this lets you plant the most plants for a single planter. The first seeds you should get are the Mallowsweet seeds, so that you can start growing Mallowsweet Leaves as soon as possible. This will let you start doing your Merlin trials freely. I started completing numerous Merlin trials to expand my inventory well before I started brewing potions. If I was starting again the first things I would put in my room of requirement would be 3 hopping pots and a potting table with 5 small pots with mallowsweet planted in them.
@Flustrated Genius One disappointment is Penny from the Hogsmeade secret shop can't actually sell everything like she said she would so you end up maxed out with certain things like plants & potions quickly

No wonder this game took forever. There is SO much going on: main storyline and side quests galore! Different experiences for each House, Unforgivable Curses, flying, ROR, potions, animals, money & talents. So much to remember.
Honestly, once you get the three hopping pots that generate random potions for you, there's not much reason to grow plants for potions unless you use alot of them, Best use is 4 medium tables so you can grow 12 cabbages at a time. Those things are hilariously overpowered with the talent for them. Drop 2(4) cabbages while invisible and they clear out a camp on their own.
YEs...I love my cabbages. Get the trait that let's you spawn an additional cabbage for free and the level 3 chomping trait and just unload those suckers!
Oh there's a 4th vivarium....great! BTW you can find blueprints of customizable pieces in the vivariums themselves. There's usually a chest hidden somewhere. And joy of joys they also have moonstones and other plant resources which respawn.
Definitely love this room and how many options they give us to customize it! If only we can actually sit down and use the furniture, hopefully they make that available in the next update.
I think the thing I was most excited for in the game was the room of requirement and I love how you can change its colours etc - the customisation is great. Amazing vid as always Andy, loving the daily content - helps so much and I really appreciate it
I’d recommend to get the refinery as early as possible and craft 3 of them. if you periodically come and go to the room you’ll have enough moonstone to make everything, cos i ran out pretty fast thinking 200 was overkill
When you interact with a Tshape potion table, you can quickly switch between the other two pots by pressing left and right on the Dpad - I have mine setup to make specific pots and they are color coordinated
Another really easy way to make some quick money early game (assuming one has already raided their nearby 500gp chests) is to capture Puffskeins. The nests usually have 4-6 in them and theyre quick and easy to capture. Selling at 120gp apiece you can make some easy coin before breeding gets unlocked.
the RoR!! I’ve basically stopped the storyline and just spend time finding creatures, saving them, breeding and caring for them in all three rooms, while also doing my Herbology. I wish you could put your herbology pots into the rooms for the creatures and I’d be happy just sitting there lol. It’s been a wonderful game so far!
I’ll probably sink 2000 or more hrs in this game over the next few years cuz I love it so much already that I’m certain I’ll spend lots of time playing it and exploring n experimenting with different play-troughs of the game
I hear you man, I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed a game like this, looking forward to several play-throughs in different houses to experience the different dialogue/quests & endings!!
@@AndyReloads same dude, the moment I got in the game I had to try and focus on the missions because I’d get distracted exploring the castle lol such a beautiful and fun game
@@jamesSmith-fl5wv I can’t wait!!! Wish I didn’t have to go to work cuz then I’d be able to spend more time playing this game. But I have work n then have to work on my designs everyday so I try and find a few hours to play everyday if possible
Nice guide. Just want to point out that the RoR comes w/a desk of description installed from the get go. Also, like in Pokemon, there's a "shiny" mechanic to the beasts. When you highlight them in the wild you'll see a little star next to their description at the top of the screen and the coloration of that particular bast tends to be different from the norm.
Hello Andy, I watch you since your first videos on AC Valhalla and I really love your content! Keep it up and I wish you all the subscribers in the world because you really deserve it with this quality!
I'm not even that big of a HP fan. I only read the first book and all the movies, but I wouldn't say I'm well versed in the HP Universe. This game is awesome. I hope they eventually make a Quiddich DLC
Andy, another fantastic video! Thank you for your amazing work, I am learning something new about this game everyday which makes it more enjoyable (thanks to you!)
@@AndyReloads are you going to do a spell diamond video showing how you have you’re spells setup and what spells go well together? I have one amazing diamond setup but my other 3 I can’t decide. I think that would be a great video.
Hi Andy, yet another HUGE Thank You for all your tips and suggestions. I don't get to START my game until tomorrow and I'm already well ahead of the curve thanks to all your help. This video is simply amazing. I'm really, really looking forward to the Room of Requirement and from what you and the developers have shown I'm going to be lost for days playing my version of being Newt Scamander! Thanks for everything so far.
You can get into the room without the quest. Stumbled upon it in my first hour of playing. The room was like it's now with identification table and house elve was scrubbing the floor (couldn't talk to him but identify items). When I went back later, room didn't open.
I reccomend the 5 small pot table too. The reason is, that the most of the plants just need the small pot and small Pots take the same Slots as the medium and big pots. Therefore instead of just 3 medium pots, you can get 5 small pots for the same slot number.
You'll want to plant Shrivelfrig and Cabages, which need a medium potting table. Even 3 of the 5 slot small plant pots is more then enough to provide more dittany and mellowsweet then you'll ever need.
@@masonhunt4941some people just don’t use items in combat. I am very guilty of that. Always keeping max stacks of items “just in case I need them” and then kicking myself at the end of a game for not using any lol. I have been trying to get better about that.
@@masonhunt4941 plants and potions (minus the health potion) are so pointless. You start off extremely OP and just get stronger while fighting the same weak predicable enemies. But it’s fun to decorate the room
I have very recently started the game, and I love it. The castle is really confusing though, I tend to get lost a lot. But when the Room of Requirement was unlocked, I was at first unimpressed, that was during the quest with Prof Weasley, when it was still a messy maze. I thought you’d get a small space in the maze. But nope, it transforms into a clean, cozy room! And extra space later on. What made me giddy though, was the insanely huge vivarium. An entire world within! I haven’t gotten much further yet, though, that’s all I have unlocked for now. Hogwarts is great, but the RoR is special.
I loved seeing all the animations of these animals! And the information of how to capture and care for them was great. Thank you for making this video!
2:00 There is also another way to unlock these, other than out in the Highlands. If you explore the various vivariums (say that 5 times fast 🤣😅), there will be at least 1 chest (sometimes 2) inside the vivarium that contains these customization items, as well.
Hey Andy, why does your game looks so great? I mean it seems to have an amazing contrast, my game looks a bit more washed up than yours. Could you please share what brightness and HDR settings you are playing on?
Hey mate! I'm recording on 4K VRR HDR via the PS5, standard settings with a 50% brightness setting. I also export at 4k from Premiere Pro when rendering maintaing a high bit rate to make it as solid as possible on TH-cam. Nothing crazy tbh mate, just standard/solid quality settings, hope this helps!
I am curious, do additional rooms for the room of requirement open up the further you get into the game? Besides the extra vivariums? I’d like to wait till all my space is available before I go ham arranging things so as to avoid having to rearrange 😅.
From what Ive seen its only one side room. Then that room gets expanded after some time. I don't know if there is a second one. I would hope but I don't think
I’ve not reached the room of requirement quest yet as I’ve spent most of my time ignoring main story stuff and exploring the Forbidden Forest and the Bog north of Hogwarts, as well as running all over the school seeking field guide pages and other collectibles and chests. I’m lv25 and my story quests are around lv4 xD But I wound up saving around 15k worth of Galleons which I spent 13k of buying most of the stock from the Tomes And Scrolls shop so I’m looking forward to finally getting into the room and getting to customise it
Magical beasts icon was there from the start thou, way before I even know what to do with them... I wish they only appeared after, sadly not the case, ass soon as you pass by them they're there... Also as a player with no planning or patience for brewing the random free item was one of the best purchases for me, even without the proper ingredients I often had potions to help me to a point I dont even bother to brew at all, I rarely use consumables and I always have them all thanks to those.. Even more important since some seeds wont be avaliable for a while, so, do buy the boot calderon early rather than later without fear, it IS definitely worth it... Great guide btw, lot of interesting stuff on breeding and stuff
If noone already knows this when capturing beasts changing into story mode eliminates the need to press buttons to catch them it simply catches them instead makes it easier and faster
Thanks for the info on the potting table and that dude, if your like me I love side missions while also completing main missions, so I had a shit load of gold 😂😂 brought everything you said to buy for the room, so really helped out man, tha k you 💯👊
Been watching your videos since early release and made my experience so fluid and fun! All of the guides are great 👍 please keep it up with secrets, extras etc.. I love the room of requirements , I def think they will expand on a lot of areas in the dlc , hope this will be of them!! Question- I have two small tables “in working order” Everytime I try to dissolve to make a bigger table.. says I’m at limit of 7/7 .. any tips on how to get rid of them or am I stuck with what you make ? I appreciate any help 🧹⚡️🧙♂️🙏🎯⭐️👏📺
@@AndyReloads yeah that makes sense. I’m level 22(just opened the room of requirement lol). But I leveled up to 17 really fast by just exploring every nook and cranny from Hogwarts to Hogs.
My best answer(as I’ve played more) is as long as you have a bunch of pets and keep collecting their materials it’s no problem to at least upgrade to level 2 for items and add whatever trait you want. It gets a lot slower above gear 100.
I hope the developers dont just go 'job done' with this game after release and move on. I hope the devs DLC the crap out of this game to flesh out the wonderful world with more story, stuff to do...and new locations to go Lets actively and collectively ask the devs to do lots of DLCs for this gem of a game
If we do get DLC then it probably won't be for a long while. I feel the devs focused 100% of their energy to make a complete game, so I doubt theyd have begun work on dlc.
do people not know you can harvest moonstone in the wild? like it's everywhere... Just shoot the blue crystals. I have so freaking much of it I don't know what to do with it... also the vivariums have respawning moonstone and potion materials in them as well.
I wish they had an auto brushing thing or that the toy box counted as showing love, also my automatic feeders don’t really work because they all rush to go eat once I get in the enclosure, I do love the room of requirement but unless you do all of your grinding before playing any of the story it’s not really worth it/ you don’t have the space needed until you finish the story. But after the story you don’t have any use for insane amount of production in plants in potions.
mate the 1st one u should purchase is the moonstone generating one, the earlier u get the 3 of them up and running the better mate, as even if u take everything away in the room of requirements u still need a hell of allot more moonstone during the game and having that constant moonstone generation asap is great in the long run.
Personally I found Glacius to be a much more effective method of immobilizing animals I wanted to catch, and I haven't learned it yet but I'd imagine arresto momentum would work very good as well
hey Andy Reloads the reason all beasts are the same is to prevent poaching if you get the same for one species as any other it will hopefully prevent over hunting is i believe the goal of that. also great video
I would argue the random potion pot is worth it in the early game even before the plant tables as its a free random potion every 12mins so while you are farming you are still get potions that can built up to a good stack for later in the game when you might need them
@Mason Hunt either you haven't played the game or are playing it on easy because potions are useful for cd reduction and cc as the pots give every potion (bar the playstation one) as long as you know how to make it
Can you make a video on how to unlock the unforgiveable curses? Like when can you unlock the quest, how far into the game does it unlock, what quest line do you have todo first. I've seen lots showing the actual quest, but none that show how they got the first quest. much appeciated
@@AndyReloads I watched that video, do you get the first one in the second chapter like autumn? I just got to autumn I’m level 20 and still only have 1 letter from Seb. Thanks for the videos and your time
So I have noticed that my beasts in the last unlocked Vivarium are fed every time I come into the room (Phoenix and Kneazles). I'm wondering if this is an effect of having certain beasts in their "correct" Vivarium or what is going on here?
Does that room come with a feeder? Don't know myself as I only just unlocked the second room today. But I do know that since I have put a feeder into them, they are always fed every time I enter leaving me one less thing to do. If that room does happen to come with one that would be the reason why.
usually, you'd be right on people waiting till later when they have more materials - thing is, I'm an outlier, I am a bit of an exploration junkie and a harvest/loot monger - if it can be looted, I usually loot it, I already have all the seeds - the two large pot and three medium pot tables, as well as the t shaped potion table, in chapter 1 - yeah I explore wayyyyy too much lol. Also, once I got the broom, it became stupidly easy to just ride around and find stuff.
I tend to do explore the area of a quest, finish the quest, and then go to the ror to collect all my gear on rotation. It takes time, but definitely worth it as I don't have to worry about running out of anything. Question though, are offspring worth keeping or should they just be sold? I've noticed they never mature, so it's probably just best to sell them.
How did you increase the rooms size? I can't seem to find any mention of it. I would really like a bigger room like you had in your video (also good tip to add in it).
@@captgigglez3472 I think he meanthe room where he keeps his plants. Like God damn that's a big room..I've gotten all 4 vivatiums but my other room is still small, can't find the side quest for it..
@@Fredde9602 Finally figured it out. I beat the game and when i went back to the room of requirement it got bigger. So to get the big room you have to beat the game
I’m lvl 24 currently and would appreciate your help. Although it sounds cool to upgrade your clothes, this far into the game I don’t really see the point. The game is spamming better and better gears at this level and I’m not sure when to start upgrading one of them.
Thank you so much for yet another awesome guide! Kinda funny to hear people say "When you are level 13 in Chapter 2" (Fall?) and stuff like that, since I am still in Chapter 1 (Summer) at level 16 xD. But I digress. Thanks, bud.
When does Deek have the Beasts quest? Because I've taken the Beast class, it's fall and I'm over level 20+... ...and Nothing from Deek 🤷♂️ I just get the prompt to change ambiance in my room of requirement 🤷♂️
I get the room without having beat Ranrok. I catch a wild unicorn without a quest early in game and have all 4 animal rooms. I don't know that's exists a second big room, I came here in hope to find the answer, where I found the cottage, and now I have a second big room for all the crafting stuff and decorate all new 😂
They should add a tier system for the beasts. the higher the tier you catch the more galleon you Receive when selling them. 120 for every beast type is a little cheap.
3:07 The Desk of Description is unlocked by default when you get your version of the Room of Requirement. The only thing unlocked via Deek's quest is, as the name of the quest implies, the Enchanted Loom (and the first/main vivarium).
Wait... chapter 2 at level 13 is the first magical beast class... I'm losing way too much time doing random stuff, I'm still chapter 1 and level 25 and just unlocked this room!
Ok i have a cool idea but if this game does turn into an mmo / singleplayer. JUST IMAGINE all the people that can come in and look at all your cool designs for this room and uses the stations (but more then one person can use one station to prevent clogging) if it allowed up to 5 max in at a time and u have to use a password thats spoken to access different rooms. You can get password by accessing the owls letters from online players and if your from the same house a spell to all u to quick access the room. Players cant destroy nor move your stuff but can use the stations and interact with the objects inside. This is a great idea and would make this game 1000x more popular... other then that this room is such a beautiful design and im loving the game so far and your content may i add 😊😁
What do you think of the Room of Requirement? Good or Bad? I also hope this guide helps you out & you enjoy the game btw 👍🏻
i like it tbh you can do a lot more than i thought it’s not just cheap and phoned in it’s actually pretty extensive for somthing i didn’t get to till like 10 hours in 😂

YEs...I love my cabbages. Get the trait that let's you spawn an additional cabbage for free and the level 3 chomping trait and just unload those suckers!
Oh there's a 4th vivarium....great! BTW you can find blueprints of customizable pieces in the vivariums themselves. There's usually a chest hidden somewhere. And joy of joys they also have moonstones and other plant resources which respawn.
Definitely love this room and how many options they give us to customize it! If only we can actually sit down and use the furniture, hopefully they make that available in the next update.
@Cnut The Clown Yes you are.
Not being able to sit is a big miss, otherwise this game legit.
I did so much exploring before progressing the MSQ that im only unlocking the vivarium at lv23. So much fun. Time is FLYING by
I think the thing I was most excited for in the game was the room of requirement and I love how you can change its colours etc - the customisation is great.
Amazing vid as always Andy, loving the daily content - helps so much and I really appreciate it
I’d recommend to get the refinery as early as possible and craft 3 of them. if you periodically come and go to the room you’ll have enough moonstone to make everything, cos i ran out pretty fast thinking 200 was overkill
I’m already level 19 and haven’t gotten to Autumn yet. 😆 I may have a sidequest and collectibles addiction.
Loving your content. Your pacing and overall upbeat tone match the awesome tips you give. Keep them coming.
Awesome, thank you mate, great to hear!
When you interact with a Tshape potion table, you can quickly switch between the other two pots by pressing left and right on the Dpad - I have mine setup to make specific pots and they are color coordinated
The room of requirement is one of the coolest ways to farm buffs for your gear in games period.
Another really easy way to make some quick money early game (assuming one has already raided their nearby 500gp chests) is to capture Puffskeins. The nests usually have 4-6 in them and theyre quick and easy to capture. Selling at 120gp apiece you can make some easy coin before breeding gets unlocked.
I’m addicted to this game lol just got to my first flying lesson and flying in game is incredible 😁
the RoR!! I’ve basically stopped the storyline and just spend time finding creatures, saving them, breeding and caring for them in all three rooms, while also doing my Herbology. I wish you could put your herbology pots into the rooms for the creatures and I’d be happy just sitting there lol. It’s been a wonderful game so far!
I’ll probably sink 2000 or more hrs in this game over the next few years cuz I love it so much already that I’m certain I’ll spend lots of time playing it and exploring n experimenting with different play-troughs of the game
I hear you man, I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed a game like this, looking forward to several play-throughs in different houses to experience the different dialogue/quests & endings!!
@@AndyReloads same dude, the moment I got in the game I had to try and focus on the missions because I’d get distracted exploring the castle lol such a beautiful and fun game
@@alainkessler3247 completely agree V!
Wait until you get the unforgivable curses! So much fun!
@@jamesSmith-fl5wv I can’t wait!!! Wish I didn’t have to go to work cuz then I’d be able to spend more time playing this game. But I have work n then have to work on my designs everyday so I try and find a few hours to play everyday if possible
Nice guide. Just want to point out that the RoR comes w/a desk of description installed from the get go.
Also, like in Pokemon, there's a "shiny" mechanic to the beasts. When you highlight them in the wild you'll see a little star next to their description at the top of the screen and the coloration of that particular bast tends to be different from the norm.
Hello Andy, I watch you since your first videos on AC Valhalla and I really love your content! Keep it up and I wish you all the subscribers in the world because you really deserve it with this quality!
This is epic to hear G, thanks for the kind words & I'm very much looking forward to making more videos for you!
I'm not even that big of a HP fan. I only read the first book and all the movies, but I wouldn't say I'm well versed in the HP Universe. This game is awesome. I hope they eventually make a Quiddich DLC
Andy, another fantastic video! Thank you for your amazing work, I am learning something new about this game everyday which makes it more enjoyable (thanks to you!)
Cheers for the awesome words Tim, great to hear you're enjoying the game and the videos are helping, thanks for letting me know!
@@AndyReloads they really are and thanks for the reply my friend, looking forward to more!
@@timhusson6934 on it!
@@AndyReloads are you going to do a spell diamond video showing how you have you’re spells setup and what spells go well together? I have one amazing diamond setup but my other 3 I can’t decide. I think that would be a great video.
Before you can get the quest from deek for the magicyl beasts, you need to complete the story quest with the goblin helmet
Hi Andy, yet another HUGE Thank You for all your tips and suggestions. I don't get to START my game until tomorrow and I'm already well ahead of the curve thanks to all your help. This video is simply amazing. I'm really, really looking forward to the Room of Requirement and from what you and the developers have shown I'm going to be lost for days playing my version of being Newt Scamander! Thanks for everything so far.
Cheers Z I hope you really enjoy it mate, let me know what you think
@@AndyReloads Thanks Andy, I will indeed!!
i was using glacius and arresto momentum to catch them. the harder ones with multiple skill checks have no chance to run
You can get into the room without the quest. Stumbled upon it in my first hour of playing. The room was like it's now with identification table and house elve was scrubbing the floor (couldn't talk to him but identify items). When I went back later, room didn't open.
I reccomend the 5 small pot table too. The reason is, that the most of the plants just need the small pot and small Pots take the same Slots as the medium and big pots. Therefore instead of just 3 medium pots, you can get 5 small pots for the same slot number.
You'll want to plant Shrivelfrig and Cabages, which need a medium potting table.
Even 3 of the 5 slot small plant pots is more then enough to provide more dittany and mellowsweet then you'll ever need.
You don’t really need much of the plants I have so many of each plant and have never used them
@@masonhunt4941some people just don’t use items in combat. I am very guilty of that. Always keeping max stacks of items “just in case I need them” and then kicking myself at the end of a game for not using any lol. I have been trying to get better about that.
@@masonhunt4941 plants and potions (minus the health potion) are so pointless. You start off extremely OP and just get stronger while fighting the same weak predicable enemies. But it’s fun to decorate the room
I just unlocked the Room Of Requirement... This game is dropping my jaw at every turn
Loving game so far had few problems like it crashed once and control didn’t stop vibrating after a duel
Thx for the guide. I'm setting my magnificent room up right now. The customizable options for the ENTIRE room and backroom is what I needed.
I have very recently started the game, and I love it. The castle is really confusing though, I tend to get lost a lot.
But when the Room of Requirement was unlocked, I was at first unimpressed, that was during the quest with Prof Weasley, when it was still a messy maze. I thought you’d get a small space in the maze.
But nope, it transforms into a clean, cozy room! And extra space later on.
What made me giddy though, was the insanely huge vivarium.
An entire world within! I haven’t gotten much further yet, though, that’s all I have unlocked for now.
Hogwarts is great, but the RoR is special.
I loved seeing all the animations of these animals! And the information of how to capture and care for them was great. Thank you for making this video!
I love how the Phoenix runs around lol
I had over 8000 by the time I unlock the room so I got all those stuff asap, really worth it.
2:00 There is also another way to unlock these, other than out in the Highlands. If you explore the various vivariums (say that 5 times fast 🤣😅), there will be at least 1 chest (sometimes 2) inside the vivarium that contains these customization items, as well.
Great tip Kyle, thanks for sharing mate!
Hey Andy, why does your game looks so great? I mean it seems to have an amazing contrast, my game looks a bit more washed up than yours. Could you please share what brightness and HDR settings you are playing on?
Hey mate! I'm recording on 4K VRR HDR via the PS5, standard settings with a 50% brightness setting. I also export at 4k from Premiere Pro when rendering maintaing a high bit rate to make it as solid as possible on TH-cam. Nothing crazy tbh mate, just standard/solid quality settings, hope this helps!
Your videos are amazing thanks for your hard work!!! Longtime subscriber!!! Let’s get this gentleman to a million subscribers!!!
Cheers Shane!!
Some beasts have a little star-like symbol after the male/female designation, does that mean it is a "shiny" like in pokemon?
Yes
I am curious, do additional rooms for the room of requirement open up the further you get into the game? Besides the extra vivariums? I’d like to wait till all my space is available before I go ham arranging things so as to avoid having to rearrange 😅.
From what Ive seen its only one side room. Then that room gets expanded after some time. I don't know if there is a second one. I would hope but I don't think
@@Vector_TheMinion Thank you. I’ll start planning out my layout soon then. :)
I’ve not reached the room of requirement quest yet as I’ve spent most of my time ignoring main story stuff and exploring the Forbidden Forest and the Bog north of Hogwarts, as well as running all over the school seeking field guide pages and other collectibles and chests.
I’m lv25 and my story quests are around lv4 xD
But I wound up saving around 15k worth of Galleons which I spent 13k of buying most of the stock from the Tomes And Scrolls shop so I’m looking forward to finally getting into the room and getting to customise it
Magical beasts icon was there from the start thou, way before I even know what to do with them... I wish they only appeared after, sadly not the case, ass soon as you pass by them they're there...
Also as a player with no planning or patience for brewing the random free item was one of the best purchases for me, even without the proper ingredients I often had potions to help me to a point I dont even bother to brew at all, I rarely use consumables and I always have them all thanks to those.. Even more important since some seeds wont be avaliable for a while, so, do buy the boot calderon early rather than later without fear, it IS definitely worth it...
Great guide btw, lot of interesting stuff on breeding and stuff
If noone already knows this when capturing beasts changing into story mode eliminates the need to press buttons to catch them it simply catches them instead makes it easier and faster
Love the unforgivable curses!
me too james!
Thanks for the info on the potting table and that dude, if your like me I love side missions while also completing main missions, so I had a shit load of gold 😂😂 brought everything you said to buy for the room, so really helped out man, tha k you 💯👊
Been watching your videos since early release and made my experience so fluid and fun! All of the guides are great 👍 please keep it up with secrets, extras etc.. I love the room of requirements , I def think they will expand on a lot of areas in the dlc , hope this will be of them!! Question- I have two small tables “in working order” Everytime I try to dissolve to make a bigger table.. says I’m at limit of 7/7 .. any tips on how to get rid of them or am I stuck with what you make ? I appreciate any help 🧹⚡️🧙♂️🙏🎯⭐️👏📺
Check the spell you have equipped, you need a different one to dissolve them.
Question. Is it really worth upgrading gear when you’re just going to most likely get a better piece down the road when you level up?
very true mate, I'd recommend not upgrading until 20+ tbh
@@AndyReloads yeah that makes sense. I’m level 22(just opened the room of requirement lol). But I leveled up to 17 really fast by just exploring every nook and cranny from Hogwarts to Hogs.
It’s very unnecessary and a waste of time. But it’s fun…
My best answer(as I’ve played more) is as long as you have a bunch of pets and keep collecting their materials it’s no problem to at least upgrade to level 2 for items and add whatever trait you want. It gets a lot slower above gear 100.
This whole mechanic could have been its own game and I'm extremely impressed that everything worked from Day 1.
I hope the developers dont just go 'job done' with this game after release and move on.
I hope the devs DLC the crap out of this game to flesh out the wonderful world with more story, stuff to do...and new locations to go
Lets actively and collectively ask the devs to do lots of DLCs for this gem of a game
If we do get DLC then it probably won't be for a long while. I feel the devs focused 100% of their energy to make a complete game, so I doubt theyd have begun work on dlc.
I’m guessing one will be quidditch
@@Oglefamily23 they already said they aren’t gonna have quidditch why do you think they didn’t add it to begin with
@@masonhunt4941 as a dlc maybe I was thinking it will be good way for us to spend more money imo
Tip: Unlock and use the pause spell(I can't remember the name, but anyways) it is op for catching beasts.
arresto momentum its a broom quest with kogakawa
@@GipsyDangerfan the kenetic energy spelll not the nerve pinch l spell
The ice spell is too. I used it on accident and it doesn't do damage so they just sit on the ground frozen.
@@zacharyharris3670 that's it.
if you try to catch a hippogriff, it's best to use wingardium leviosa
do people not know you can harvest moonstone in the wild? like it's everywhere... Just shoot the blue crystals. I have so freaking much of it I don't know what to do with it... also the vivariums have respawning moonstone and potion materials in them as well.
Amazing guide...as always! Thank you
I wish they had an auto brushing thing or that the toy box counted as showing love, also my automatic feeders don’t really work because they all rush to go eat once I get in the enclosure, I do love the room of requirement but unless you do all of your grinding before playing any of the story it’s not really worth it/ you don’t have the space needed until you finish the story. But after the story you don’t have any use for insane amount of production in plants in potions.
mate the 1st one u should purchase is the moonstone generating one, the earlier u get the 3 of them up and running the better mate, as even if u take everything away in the room of requirements u still need a hell of allot more moonstone during the game and having that constant moonstone generation asap is great in the long run.
thank you this is super helpful 🦔❄
Personally I found Glacius to be a much more effective method of immobilizing animals I wanted to catch, and I haven't learned it yet but I'd imagine arresto momentum would work very good as well
I can asure you it does work great, used it since I learned it
Nice video!
desk of description is there from the start for me, not together with the loom (could be related to which lvl you are as I'm overlvl'd)
hey Andy Reloads the reason all beasts are the same is to prevent poaching if you get the same for one species as any other it will hopefully prevent over hunting is i believe the goal of that. also great video
I would argue the random potion pot is worth it in the early game even before the plant tables as its a free random potion every 12mins so while you are farming you are still get potions that can built up to a good stack for later in the game when you might need them
The potions are worthless though only lasts like 10 seconds
@Mason Hunt either you haven't played the game or are playing it on easy because potions are useful for cd reduction and cc as the pots give every potion (bar the playstation one) as long as you know how to make it
@@The_Desert_Tiger I’ve had every potion at max there useless it literally takes longer to make them then they last
Can you make a video on how to unlock the unforgiveable curses? Like when can you unlock the quest, how far into the game does it unlock, what quest line do you have todo first. I've seen lots showing the actual quest, but none that show how they got the first quest. much appeciated
I've done exactly that here mate: th-cam.com/video/7bKPGurYqR8/w-d-xo.html
@@AndyReloads I watched that video, do you get the first one in the second chapter like autumn? I just got to autumn I’m level 20 and still only have 1 letter from Seb. Thanks for the videos and your time
Spend a few hours flying between 2 easly multi animal spots! Nifflr and puff dens are easy to get a LOT
So I have noticed that my beasts in the last unlocked Vivarium are fed every time I come into the room (Phoenix and Kneazles). I'm wondering if this is an effect of having certain beasts in their "correct" Vivarium or what is going on here?
Does that room come with a feeder? Don't know myself as I only just unlocked the second room today. But I do know that since I have put a feeder into them, they are always fed every time I enter leaving me one less thing to do. If that room does happen to come with one that would be the reason why.
@shakyrob6512 it doesn't come with it but I've put 1 in every room. This is the only one where the beasts are constantly fed every time I enter.
The vendor that sells furnishings is that scroll icon/spellcraft vendor in Hogsmeade
The bible to everything HL, nice one mate! 🤛👏🙌🤟😉
I think I missed talking to the goblin about learning how to capture beasts. I already took my first beast class,...damn
usually, you'd be right on people waiting till later when they have more materials - thing is, I'm an outlier, I am a bit of an exploration junkie and a harvest/loot monger - if it can be looted, I usually loot it, I already have all the seeds - the two large pot and three medium pot tables, as well as the t shaped potion table, in chapter 1 - yeah I explore wayyyyy too much lol. Also, once I got the broom, it became stupidly easy to just ride around and find stuff.
Once you place your tables , how can I move them around to organize the space?
awesome guide mate, thanks!
I tend to do explore the area of a quest, finish the quest, and then go to the ror to collect all my gear on rotation. It takes time, but definitely worth it as I don't have to worry about running out of anything. Question though, are offspring worth keeping or should they just be sold? I've noticed they never mature, so it's probably just best to sell them.
I found that they suddenly mature when you take them out to sell
How did you increase the rooms size? I can't seem to find any mention of it. I would really like a bigger room like you had in your video (also good tip to add in it).
trying to find this out myself, i have all four Vivarium's but still just the 1 tiny room to the left
@@captgigglez3472 I think he meanthe room where he keeps his plants. Like God damn that's a big room..I've gotten all 4 vivatiums but my other room is still small, can't find the side quest for it..
@@Fredde9602 yeah I'm in the same boat as you. and I can't find anyone to say how you actually get a bigger room for the plants
@@captgigglez3472 I'll look tomorrow when i start up the game! I'll let you know ^^
@@Fredde9602 Finally figured it out. I beat the game and when i went back to the room of requirement it got bigger. So to get the big room you have to beat the game
I bought the game Friday.. just hit level 25.. i already feel I’ve gotten my $70 worth which is shocking. I am beyond in love with this game.
My bag from Deek doesn't work. It was fine at first, but now I have had extreme difficulty catching any more critters. I only have about 5 total.
The desk of description is given to you as soon as you get the Room of Requirement. Though the loom is much later.
Yeah, was going to say this too. Maybe they changed it in the patch, or he just misremembered.
I’m lvl 24 currently and would appreciate your help. Although it sounds cool to upgrade your clothes, this far into the game I don’t really see the point. The game is spamming better and better gears at this level and I’m not sure when to start upgrading one of them.
correction to what u said in this video, u do not get the feeding and grooming spells from Deek, u get them in the 1st Beasts class
Back to my 12h night shifts 😂 great vid mate, doing little bit everything while i go (In game)
Hope you have a great shift man!!
@@AndyReloads Monday/Tuesday was throwing up so low on energy, def. Gonna be interesting shift
If u are creative you can easily make this a masterpiece also I see your one is bigger I guess it gets bigger when u fill the place up
What does the toy box do? Will it make it so I don’t have to brush the beasts? It’s so tedious after a while
Thank you so much for yet another awesome guide! Kinda funny to hear people say "When you are level 13 in Chapter 2" (Fall?) and stuff like that, since I am still in Chapter 1 (Summer) at level 16 xD. But I digress. Thanks, bud.
I love seeing the mission required level is 16 and I'm at level 30...
When does Deek have the Beasts quest? Because I've taken the Beast class, it's fall and I'm over level 20+...
...and Nothing from Deek 🤷♂️
I just get the prompt to change ambiance in my room of requirement 🤷♂️
After about 70 hours total into the game already i think I’m going to make a video myself on the content and my wishes for what’s to come
This was the thing i was the most excited about this game
I get the room without having beat Ranrok. I catch a wild unicorn without a quest early in game and have all 4 animal rooms. I don't know that's exists a second big room, I came here in hope to find the answer, where I found the cottage, and now I have a second big room for all the crafting stuff and decorate all new 😂
I'm loving turning my room of requirement into a mass-production factory. I can only imagine Mrs Weasleys reaction to my room.
If you sell some of your gear then equip another piece and make it look like it you can get lots of gold as well
Im lvl 25 and just unlocked room of requirement lmao already was able to slap down the best tables….side quests slap
How did you get the lower lvl room to expand so much??
When can you get the feeding boxes and stuff at tomes and scrolls? They aren't available to me yet
Having fun :) taking my time cuz it ain’t a race :)
They should add a tier system for the beasts. the higher the tier you catch the more galleon you Receive when selling them. 120 for every beast type is a little cheap.
Waiting for this to be released in April. I have no idea what’s going on in the video, all I know is that it’s exciting me a lot!
3:07 The Desk of Description is unlocked by default when you get your version of the Room of Requirement. The only thing unlocked via Deek's quest is, as the name of the quest implies, the Enchanted Loom (and the first/main vivarium).
I'm about 25 hours in and I've yet to unlock the ability to catch beasts but I can already tell I'm gonna spend so much time in this game.
Wait... chapter 2 at level 13 is the first magical beast class... I'm losing way too much time doing random stuff, I'm still chapter 1 and level 25 and just unlocked this room!
I'm level 18 and just realized my quest level requirements were 4 🥴
@@Gregzilla83 same 💀 guess that’s what happens when you have experience playing these games. Everything is a breeze
why are your videos so good lol
Ok i have a cool idea but if this game does turn into an mmo / singleplayer. JUST IMAGINE all the people that can come in and look at all your cool designs for this room and uses the stations (but more then one person can use one station to prevent clogging) if it allowed up to 5 max in at a time and u have to use a password thats spoken to access different rooms. You can get password by accessing the owls letters from online players and if your from the same house a spell to all u to quick access the room. Players cant destroy nor move your stuff but can use the stations and interact with the objects inside. This is a great idea and would make this game 1000x more popular... other then that this room is such a beautiful design and im loving the game so far and your content may i add 😊😁
