I think the game really shines in terms of worldbuilding, detail, atmosphere game mechanics and landscape, sound visuals etc. That being said the characters, dialogs and story is average at best comparing it to other story games. Everything is super predictable, 1 dimensional and lacks creativity. I am happy with what we got and enjoyed my experience but at the same it could have been so much more….
unfortunately the story started very well, with a good pace and a good development, but as you progress the feeling that it was written in a hurried and banal way becomes more and more evident. Too bad, because I would have gladly played it for another 60 hours if not more.
@@lorenzofurnari the excitement on my face really just vanished from my face when I realized the final boss is just Ranrok in dragon form... and we'd be fighting whole 3 phases of what's essentially a dragon spewing fire at us. I was expecting a wizard to wizard type of solution, where you'd actually be tested with your spells, parry, your magical capabilities in general. I wasn't thrilled to be dodging fire breath attacks and blowing up orbs for the whole fight. It was such a drag.
@@lorenzofurnari I agree. I wanted more wizard to wizard duels tbh. I know we were fighting a whole lot of poachers and ashwinders but think of the scene in Order of the phoenix for example with everyone coming together to fight their own opponents head on etc, where Sirius dies. That's the kind of scene I wanted to see here as well but we're just fighting goblins and spiders. The professors join in during the last fight which was cool but I wished they were more involved with the story other than just chiming in during the last 2 hours of the game.
1. That's not a secret ending, you get that by reaching lvl 34 and doing The House Cup quest. And 2. The Sebastian ending isn't an ending of the main quest, it's the last part of Sebastian's side quest.
@@andytheshark so does Anna disappear hating her brother regardless if you help him get the spells or not? Does Fig have to die no matter what & what are the truth good, bad & neutral endings so I have a better understanding for when I get there?
i fell bad for Sebastian cause if you dont do the questline for him we never find out what happens to Anne but if you do she hates him Sebastian cant win it seems
I wish if you choose evil ending you can help his sister since you kept the ancient magic to learn how to use it properly. In my head canon that’s what my character does lmfao
Part of me feels bad for Sebastian but also doesn’t. He means well but throughout the story he’s never hesitated blame others and neglect accountability at the expense of others.
Instead of making Ranrok immune to the killing curse, they absolutely should have added a separate ending where he gets instakilled, but your character is expelled and sent to Azkaban.
Literally, I mean that or let us learn the curse after the main story I mean: no the unforgivable, unblockable instant killing curse, it’s to bad to be used *does 0 damage against boss without explanation*
@@insertclevernamehere1186 The companion students do have one-liners in response to their use. "That spell got my attention" -Seb "I don't like it when you use dark magic" -Pop I can't remember if Nat had any lines as I completely zoned out whenever she was around.
I was slightly disappointed that you don't really gain anything from any of the endings. Would've been cool if by keeping the power for yourself you'd unlock something like a spell, perk or even an outfit.
That was a fucking horse shit of a game and i am the biggest wizarding world dick rider, i mean , the story line, not interesting, to much shit going on, to much no sense going on Just a splash of a bunch of shit, the finale looooool what the fuck was that? That was literally like an iPhone game the only thing that Is Crazy in Hogwarts Legacy it's matter of fact, Hogwarts, i played 60 hours Just for the end tò be like 10 minutes with nothing happening no plot twist no explanation of nothing man that was so retarded
same i really love the game but the ending kinda sucks, i thought by choosing the opion keep the power for yourself you can become the villain but nothing...
LOL what do you mean though? You can use ancient magic that's something. And how you use it is up to you. That said though, they gotta leave something for Hogwarts Legacy 2
Well only in one of the endings and frankly that ending was surprisingly lack-lustre so I'm glad I stuck with the good ending for my first run (without realising)
Same here. I was like, wait he died? When?? And started replaying it in my head and slowly came to realise it was that rock. I was weirded out by my character saying "for professor fig" while fighting but it all made sense during that speech 😂
absolutely, when I got owl message I always gets disappointed when there is no Sebastian quest line, and whenever I have one I dropped everything else to do that first, at first I was keen on learning the first 2 spells, but in the end I simply just really enjoying the friendship between Maincharacter, Seb, Ominis and Anne and I cannot wait to kill uncle Sallow for being mean.
I was disappointed with the "Bad Ending" because the Keepers suggested you have 3 options. Take the power for yourself, destroy the repository or keep it sealed. I wanted to destroy it for good so I chose to open it, leading to "keeping the power for myself".
But destroying the repository is literally releasing the power on the world, you cannot destroy that power, only what contains it, that was clear during the game. Keep sealed, release it on the world or keep it to yourself
@@toastedtoastontoast nah, when kept in check it's just a good thing, you can take the extreme of any characteristic and it'll probably lead to terrible things, also i thought it was such a weak aspect of Rowling's og plot thay Slytherin is a bad house, but tbf they were just kids books so it's not that deep ig
@@che3601slytherin is a bad house. The members of other houses have lots of ambition and determination just as well (Natty, Poppy) but combine it with courage or loyalty and empathy which makes them Griffindor and Hufflepuff and a positive character. Slytherin have ambitions but mostly care just themselves as demonstrated in this game and the books.
I had the first ending, but I had different voice options to choose from. I picked "I intend to open it", but instead of picking "This power should not be kept from the world." I had a third option saying "I want all the power for myself."
There's literally no consequential difference for the story whether you choose to contain or release the power, however, if you choose to release the power, your wand will swirl with ancient magic in battle after the ending. PS: also, that's not a secret ending... it's the normal epilogue everyone gets.
Sebastian saying "Oh Anne. What have you done?" shows he really not only has no remorse for what he did, but he doesn't even recognize he was wrong. I thought he might have dropped his wand out of regret for killing his uncle, but after that line, I suspect he dropped it out of joyous shock. He was so thrilled he wouldn't have to fight anymore, he would, in his mind anyways, finally be able to save his sister. Even when the very person he is trying to save fights directly against him, he doesn't realize he is wrong. They did a fantastic job showing what the dark arts does to a person, and subsequently their thought process, but they didn't give us enough time to know Sebastian before he learned the dark arts. It would have made his obsession with curing his sister and the decent into madness it caused him much clearer than portrayed. Still I can't complain too much, they still got the story across.
The German synchro made it sound like the "What have you done?" was addressed to himself. So he only then realized what a horrible thing he just did. So I only interpreted it that way.
@@gwenhuginn That is very interesting indeed. I tried finding a video of the scene in German and I couldn't. I'd love to see what the character actually says. I'm nowhere near even conversational in German, but I do remember my conjugations, and it would be rather unfortunate for us English speakers if the gravity of that scene was better conveyed in other languages. Edit: Honestly if what you say is true and he does indeed ask himself what he has done, albeit in the third person, that would show regret and possibly even remorse. That would make me feel a bit guilty about turning him in. Not entirely, he is still wrong after all, but knowing he will likely loose what little sanity he had left isolated from everyone in Azkaban because of us turning him in does make me feel a little bad for him. There's a lotta fucked up Witches and Wizzards in that world, but very few deserve dementor treatment in my opinion, and Sebastian isn't one of them.
@@sacred_g I personally think he is really remorseful. First I find it interesting, he never uses dark arts outside these instances in the missions. Perhaps its laziness of the developers but I think he really uses them only for last resorts like cruxio or imperio (I hope those names are also in english cuz I also played the game in german). And he only uses Avada Kedava when he got overwhelmed by his feelings, which is truly his weakness. And another reason I believe he is remorseful is if you dont learn those spells in the mission and ask him to teach them to you he asks if you are really sure you wanna learn Avada Kedava, even after everything that happened. If he was truly power hungry I think he wouldnt have said that. But I personally would have prefered a middle ground ending for him like him being forbidden to use magic or so untill he gets his emotions in check.
If you go through the end of the questline and don't turn him in, he says Anne won't talk to him, but isn't going to turn him in, saying that the grief Sebastian feels is more than enough for his crimes. He then goes on to admit what he did was bad, and regrets it all. He is also oddly missing from the House Cup Ceremony, all you see is Ominous Gaunt.
@@Faxanadu_ I didn't see this in my game but I have seen this on youtube. To me it didn't feel genuine. He regrets losing the relationship with his sister more than losing his uncle. I dare say that if he had somehow been able to twist Anne into not shutting him out of her life, he might not even regret his actions. Besides I also think about what he said to me in the Undercroft. "I didn't *mean* to kill my uncle." Yet Sebastian himself is the one that tells us the unforgivable curses are different. You have to *mean* it for it to work. Yes it is possible to mean something now, and regret it later. However telling me in the Undercroft he didn't mean to kill is, whether Sebastian realizes it or not, actually factually incorrect. Even if he regrets it now, in that moment, he *meant* to kill his uncle. I did see a comment somewhere say "oh he didn't fully mean it, that is why his uncle didn't die immediately." Maybe there is some weight to that theory, I think it was just dramatic effect to coincide with Anne showing up.
@@DrMysterion I immediately felt bad for Sebastian when he killed his Uncle because he immediately realised what he did and I think he kinda hated himself for it
@@DrMysterionI’m the opposite. I felt nothing for Sabestian and only used him to get the curses but I was happy that his sister didn’t want to see him anymore because now he can finally stop talking about her. I was sad for Fig.
while i love the game, i wish choices would matter more. I feel like the game is a little too straight, we should've been able to get different endings to sebastians story.
When I got the bad ending, I got the real bad ending. My character didn't say he'll use the power for good. He said it's his power by right and he'll use it to rule the world or something like that. I literally can't find anything online about that ending.
Sebastian story was the most interesting, because you either decide to turn him in or talk with Ominis about it. He will dissappear after the final talk, you can find letter from Anne to him at their home in Feldcroft. Or if you decide to turn Sebastian in, he will be sent to Azkaban.
i feel bad for sebastian, in a way i don't think he was a bad person. he kinda shares a akins story in way, all he wants to do is save the person he cares for the most. but does it all in the wrong way
He did the right thing, his Uncle was a horrible person. I only wish I could have killed him and taken the heat instead, because i dont really give a shit what Anne and Ominis think of me
Honestly what we do with non-forbidden spells to the enemies is so cruel that story couldn't make me think that spells like avada kedavra are not merciful. Honestly Crucio is the only real forbidden one for me. In wizarding world you have love potion that basically controls somebody else, yet imperio is the big bad. Because of that Sebastian's story is great but because of how horrible other spells seem, it's getting hard to believe that dark arts make him choose to kill his uncle amd not his trauma and personality
Honestly the only difference between good and bad. Is you hold Professor Fig in your arms as he dies. Both endings has you seal away the magic. Plus that secret ending is just you completing the game.
My favorite part is the part where you see different teachers showing their classes. And also the part where prof. Weasly gave points. That ending felt like watching a harry potter movie and reminded me about the first harry potter movie for some reason. The professor fig death looked emotional. I'm not yet at that part, just finished that quest where Sebastian can teach you crucio. Still need to do the map chamber quest. I also haven't learned bombarda and that transformation spell for some reason. Just reached level 32 as I'm writing this.
I got that option to 😅 I still picked the world should know about it though ( didn’t wanna seem to evil 🤣) if you picked the 3rd option did you just inhale it like in this video or did something else happen?
It is a bit disappointing you cant use the power when you take it as you dont change after it you go on about your day as normal when you finish the main quest. I think you should of got some cool power from it.
@@giggity4670 I agree with you! 100%. We picked evil over hero path but it still plays us basically as hero cause no one acknowledges we even use the forbidden spells or anything. Also I agree with another person’s comment that Sebastians sister storyline is more interesting then the main storyline, since we picked the choice we did we should’ve been at least able to cure his sister and further into that storyline or something 😪😅
what happens after that? I got the "good ending" and after containing the ancient orb, the headmaster talks to everyone giving his condolences. Is it the same or you leave the school?
There’s only 2 endings good or bad. With the “secret ending” being an epilogue tie up. The the Sebastian ending is just the last main quest in seb questline
Hmmm I had a Third option to pick from. (1)"You're right" (2)"This Power should not be kept from the world" and I had (3)"I want the power for myself" did all side quests and Sebastian's quests before the main quest.
The ending was really disappointing. Literally, the only difference is that Fig dies next to us instead of "outside the screen". There is no change in what you choose, they could at least give us a new spell if we choose a bad end or new cloth skin, but there is nothing.
The ending doesn't make any sense anyway. Why did you have to solve all these tasks? All tasks were there to find the right person to let in. At the end, however, 5 professors and Mr. Feg came in.
@@shad3115 Yes, thats right, I know that. But the tasks were there so that only the "chosen one" would go into the repository. If everyone comes in anyway... you could have opened the door right from the start and walked in with the professors. What was the point of the tasks if not to find the right one for the repository?
@@mastamindchaan387 they literally say over and over that it would only open if they believed the MC was fit to enter. Nothing about only the MC being able to go in.
@@pain2573 But if everyone comes in anyway, it doesn't make any sense. Why does the MC have to be ready when anyone who is not ready is allowed to go in anyway?
You underestimate the hardcore gamers. That is why I always roll my eyes when teasers for new games come out and developers give us an idea of how long the game’s story is. Sometimes too though, a kid works for GameStop and gets his hands on a copy early.
I liked this game way more than I thought I would. It has some genuinely great characters like natty and poppy which I don’t see anyone talking about because Sebastian was also in the spotlight. That said. I would expect that now that the gate is open and with the success there will be an inevitable sequel. I would prefer seeing a game in the same style but unrelated to this story. I think it’s largely wrapped up. Any loose threads can be tied down in expansions or left loose. It is a good self contained story in this universe. Now let us see something a bit different. Maybe a game set even further back in time. Or one set in modern times. Go to Japan, America, or Africa and visit those schools. My only holdup with this game is the same I had with the shadow games. How does it fit into the lore? I wouldn’t mind if it was a separate thing and they were allowed to do whatever they wanted. In games it’s hard to play as anyone but the strongest character ever because you are the player. Our character in hog leg is out here taking out hundreds of wizards and dozens at once yet there can obviously be no mention of him in normal lore because they are whatever you make of them. I do find it annoying when you defeat one or two ashwinders and your guy mumbles about how “no one will believe this” right after I just killed three trolls and a dozen other wizards.
Ominous Gant was the best part about this game imo. Refreshing to see a descendant of Salazar who's in Slytherin even tho he's probably the nicest guy on school. Also loved seeing him walking around the school with his wand as a walking stick. Natty and Poppy were my least favourite characters tbh. Just wanted to get through their stories, so i could get back to Sebastian, Anne and Gaunt. That whole event felt like the main story to me.
@@Raffalius I agree with the fact that Sebastian's story is deeply intertwined with the main story, honestly I don't agree with that and think it gives him more clout than his story actually merits. I'm not saying his story isn't good, it is. But I love the other two main students' stories as well. I particularly applaud the writers for making Natty more than just a black person for representation reasons. So many games fall into that pitfall and forget to give their characters actual character beyond their appearance. I never felt like I was being preached at with Natty, she was a great character, Poppy is my fav though, she's adorable and reminds me of like a really tiny but really fierce puppy.
@@bcfb21 I'm kind of thinking the opposite. Natty is WAY too nice. She's got no flaws really which make her insipid and kind of a bore. But I'm thinking the developers did this because they didn't want to give a big flaw to a black woman that people could hate on. Which is a shame really, characters are more interesting when they are flawed
@@tekakiuluy3221 they are. But I’m just glad I’m not being preached at by her for her blackness. Natty has the “hero flaw” as I call it. She’s “just too good of a person” which is a lame flaw to give someone. Would’ve liked to see her get a bit darker. Maybe lash out at the criminals and show some real trauma over her father’s death. Nothing is perfect and I’m not saying natty is my favorite character ever. Only that I thought it was nice for her place of birth to not factor into her character much. I also wish we could’ve seen her do some magic without a wand since she said no one in uagadu uses a wand so she must be somewhat proficient with non-wand magic but the one time her wand gets taken from her she can’t even open a door which kinda sucked. My problem with Sebastian getting so much praise is that people are acting like he genuinely is the best character ever. His motivations are pretty one dimensional and you can see the plot twists coming from literal hours and hours away. Despite that I don’t think any of the main cast is horribly written. I think they could all be picked apart with legit problems but I never dreaded the idea of hanging out with any of them.
The trials only allowed whoever could use ancient magic but the repository allows anyone. Even Isadora let students into the repository to take away their pain.
I loved Sebastian's story more than most of the main story tbh. But I will say, when he calls you ignorant I got HEATED. I was SO MAD bro. I'm glad the "That was cruel" line led to a professional F*CK YOU because that's what I wanted to say irl. I was super sad about Fig tho. He was like the family your character doesn't seem to have. And I felt AWFUL for Ominis after Sebastian's questline if you turn him in. He basically lost his family all over again since he barely speaks to his bio one due to their traditions and practices and his abuse from it. I wanted to tell him that he would always have a family with my character
For those of you wondering why the Bad End doesn't seem bad at all, it's one of those typical moral things about "no one man should have all that power" (yes, I did just quote one of Kanye's songs). It's basically suggesting that, despite doing good, he would also eventually lose control of the power he wielded. That no man can control such power forever, that him having more power than basically all of Wizard kind is a bad thing. It's pretty weak, I gotta admit, especially given the story ends with the game (I doubt they'll sequel this thing. If they do, it probably won't have this dude in it at all). So all of what I said can never be seen and is merely suggested, so ultimately fails to show a consequence to taking the power for yourself. It's the horoscope of endings: "Your future will be evil because Repository is in orbit. Be careful to not to sit on your wand on Tuesdays and pronounce it Levio-sir to annoy those around you who say it's Levio-sah. You are the true lord of the dance no matter what those idiots at work say."
My theory is there will be a sequel but different story altogether possibly with grindewald and dumbledore then another one could be in the marauders era and then another one set after the Harry potter books, means they can build better storylines and use different Spells as well maybe even having a proper schooling system in place along with quiddich
They probably ran out of time. There's a ton of other things in the game as well that feel unfinished. The caves, the gear system, the lack of a curfew system, and no followers outside of specific missions.
@@tezz2698 Possibly. I mean, game studios are increasingly cruel to their staff when it comes to time limits. I mean, it happened with Blood 2, it happened with Prey 2 (sequel to the original, not the one with mimics, Bethesda killed a studio being dicks about time), so it's plausible.
@@CheatActivated Ah, I see, so the one in the video is just mislabelled and the bad end is missing. Yeah, "I want the power for me" is a lot more evil, definitely less explaining needed for that.
I had Solomon conjure a giant flame tornado right as I beat him and it kept going throughout the dramatic cutscene, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't loud as hell too.
Professor Black was criminally underutilized in this game. In fact, I would've preferred if unexpectedly _he_ would've appeared to save us from that falling pillar, as means of validating him as a person whose portrait's would celebrate Voldemort's downfall. Professor Black's supposed to be unpleasant, not evil. The game is just a _little_ poorer for missing an opportunity to see him step up when it truly matters, as the rightful Head of Hogwarts that he in fact is, it just is a bit out of character for him to do nothing. Moreover, the voice actor described him as a "help and a hindrance" to our progress? No, he wasn't, he was barely in the game. Have him show up unexpectedly in Hogsmeade to fend off Victor Rookwood, Theophilus Harlow, or both during a _later_ quest than the troll attack. A cutscene where a Killing Curse is cast, and before it can hit us, we're either magically yanked out of the way with a Locomotion Charm, or an object comes soaring through the air obstructing it's path. Black stands there, wand aloft and tells him in no uncertain terms that he'll step away from his student(s) if he knows what's good for him. Rookwood is taken a bit aback by seeing _Black_ of all people come to our rescue, which is followed by a brief cutscene duel where we see that the two of them are fairly evenly matched, but ends with the good headmaster getting the upper hand and lands a spell that blasts him into a wall. A triumphant Professor Black asks if he is ready to surrender yet. Rookwood might pick himself up, a tad unsteadily, and bitterly demand to know why Black's interfering, remarking that that rumours had it that he didn't particularly care for his students. Black can snort in a contemptuous manner, and haughtily respond something along the lines of: "I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Rookwood. I might not particularly _enjoy_ every part of that job, but surely, not even _you_ can be naive enough to expect me to simply stand idly by and _let_ you attack one of my students right in front of me? You could never land a spell on me in the duelling club when we were students, Victor, and you certainly won't be able to land one on this pupil whilst I am here. So do the smart thing and walk away while you still can. Go on - be off with you! Chop, chop!". See? Now he's being a help. Then he could be a hindrance by seeing us in his office after the fact where he confronts us about the rumours of our "extracurricular activities" with Professor Fig. He could say that he had half a mind to revoking our Hogsmeade privileges so we'll be be forbidden from leaving the grounds under any circumstances, and would, if he found so much as a shred of evidence that said rumours were true. He could remove points, give us a detention with a snide reference to the special assignments the teachers gives us, where we must learn the Scouring Charm by Gladwin Moon and help clean the Trophy Room after Peeves spilled something on the various student accolades as part of our punishment. Maybe run some errands around the castle for other teachers, too, before we could continue to next main quest? See? Hindrance. Or if he _did_ revoke our privileges, sneaking out of the castle through the secret passage to Hogsmeade because come curfew, Hogwarts would enter a complete lockdown to prevent us from leaving, so we would have to sneak out through the secret passage to Honeydukes to exit the castle, as every entrance in and out of the castle had been sealed by Black himself. We could meet Fig in Hogsmeade, who reveals that luckily for them, in addition to being the professor of Magical Theory, he is also Keeper of the Keys, so while the other teachers patrols _inside_ the castle, one of his duties is to patrol the grounds, so that's how he sneaked out. He doesn't want us to tell how we did it, but he does prudently remind us of the importance of being back in the castle before morning so Black won't know that we've been gone, before Side-Along Apparating us to the quest area. See? Hindrance. Another, more subtle way he could involve himself absent heroics that came to me when I overheard an exchange I heard between two student NPCs went like this: "One would've thought Aurors - or someone from the Ministry - would've have been here by now to protect us after that troll attack in Hogsmeade." "Black would never allow it, he'd seem completely incompetent. Which he is! Ha, ha!". Well, what with a different interaction from the teachers? *Abraham Ronen:* I say, have you spoken to the Headmaster today? He never showed up for breakfast; and it's not like him to miss a meal. *Matilda Weasley:* He was sleeping in this morning, and I can't say I blame him. I daresay that he has been more proactive last night than I've ever seen him. *Abraham Ronen:* What do you mean? *Matilda Weasley:* He received an owl from Sirona Ryan, the landlady at the Three Broomsticks. Apparently, right after the troll attack in Hogsmeade, Victor Rookwood and Theophilus Harlow came to the Three Broomsticks and wanted to talk to our new fifth year. Rookwood's taken an interest in them, for some reason, so Professor Black has been up all night increasing the security around the castle. ^Abraham Ronen:* That is troubling news indeed. But Hogwarts is safe enough? Why would he feel the need to reinforce the protections around the school? Even if Rookwood _had_ stood a chance of breaching the castle's defences to get to the student, surely, you are not suggesting that the Headmaster believes that he would be foolish enough to try? *Matilda Weasley:* I highly doubt it, but he said it was a precaution. He even refused to let me help him when I offered to assist him, and insisted to handle it himself. *Abraham Ronen:* A precaution? But - forgive me, Professor Weasley, but I was rather under the impression that the enchantments around that was already in place were _already_ enough to keep out Rookwood and his ilk? *Matilda Weasley:* They certainly were, but while the Headmaster does not put much stock in rumours about mounting goblin rebellions, he's insisting on taking no chances where Dark wizards such as Victor Rookwood are concerned. *Aesop Sharp:* Well, that is _something_ I suppose... Even if he only did it to be seen as doing something in case it came out that he was alerted to Rookwood targeting a student and he would look bad if he just kept twiddling his thumbs. *Matilda Weasley:* _Aesop!_ *Aesop Sharp:* What? Do you disagree? *Abraham Ronen:* Let's not quibble! Let's just finish our rounds and try to get a bit of shut-eye before morning comes knocking, shall we? *Aesop Sharp:* Very well, Abraham. See? Help. For the wrong reasons, but narratively speaking; help. I would also have liked an acknowledgement of the fact that Black, while _unsuited_ to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts because he took the job for the wrong reasons, isn't at all _unqualified_ for the job, which are two different things. It'd be so easy, too: Sneak into the Faculty Tower during the Side Quest "Lunar Lament" and let's hear Matilda or some other teacher lament about how Professor Black _could_ have made for a great administrator if only he had been less involved. Something along the lines of: *Bai Howin:* Did you speak to the Headmaster? He still hasn't answered my owl. *Matilda Weasley:* Yes, yes, he said he was too busy now, but that he would be getting around to it soon. *Bai Howin:* Another delay? *Matilda Weasley:* I know, I know! Honestly, I shall never understand that man. We teachers spend _all year_ revising the curriculum, and all he has to do is to go over our notes. Once a year, he's scheduled to meet with the Board of Governors to review the syllabus for the next term before sending it in for approval by the Department of Magical Education, and he always waits until the last possible moment to do it! It's a shame, because while he's never been too fond of teaching, it's not as though he does not value learning in and of itself, you know. Some of his insights has done wonders for our lesson plans, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Just imagine the quality of the education offered at Hogwarts would have looked like if he took an actual interest in what we taught the students? Have the Headmaster's office been more explorable. Note that there's a collection of alchemical manuscripts in the bookshelves, and have the MC note how impressive it is that Black's taken an academic interest in alchemy, as that's some of the most difficult magic known to wizardkind. Have some letters spread around his office where we're informed that he is established to be in correspondence with other notable members of academia for _his own sake_ - maybe even some of the same people Dumbledore corresponds with as a student, like Bathilda Bagshot and so on. Black's noted to be more preoccupied with the kudos of being the Headmaster of the greatest wizarding world, that he is very preoccupied with his status in the wizarding world; how about having us find copies of scholarly journals? Hsow funny wouldn't it be to find a stack of them; "Look at this! _The Practical Potioneer,_ _Transfiguration Today,_ _Challenges in Charming_ - Professor Black's been publishing papers in all of these! Wait - there are pages missing from some of these? Why would Professor Black rip apart his own journals?", and then we find the missing pages; papers written by other professors at the school in the drawer of his desk. Professor Black's pettily pulled them out so he will only see his own work when he reads them and hidden the evidence. :'D And this was just off the top of my head. SO many missed opportunities.
depending on your dialog and advancement in the side quest, the choice you can make at the final battle is different..I dont entirely sure which side quest or dialog affect this
What are you talking about!?!? He doesn't do any good.... By continuing Isadora's work he at best hurts many people and at worst becomes corrupted by the power gained by hurting others
@@redcheck4624 there will be no eventually, you think like that because you thought it will be like that. But for me the MC will do good and do just fine.
I legit enjoyed Sebastian's quest more than the main quests, I'm surprised that it wasn't set to change the course of the game but rather just gave us reasons to affect our choices. Natty and Poppy's side quests were also fun to go through and Poppy's side was 2nd best to Sebastian's. There should have been more.. I agree. I wish if it's not DLC than perhaps a sequel. But I do feel like it's a good beginning for this title.
Black knows he is cocking up the speech but at least it became apparent he did actually feel bad about figs death as he starts to hold back his blubbing
I got a third opinion to choose from after saying I'd release it. Basically the same as the bad ending but my character said he'd use it because it's his power
You barley interact with the professors, Fig is only on the chamber to tell you he'll wait for you on the next trial, and when you get to that said trail he goes back to the chamber. I was expecting a twist like Fig was the real villain, like the grandson of the girl and he was using imperious to control goblins and blame them. Besides Rookwood what was his role he appear in like threes scenes and then you kill him. And what's worst is that under Hogwarts there is this extremely powerful ancient magic and no one tried to get it before Harry's story, nor even Voldemort.
I have yet again been bamboozled. The title says there's a secret ending, but when going to the supposed "secret ending" chapter on the video, it's literally just the post game cutscene, which is not secret and is part of the normal ending.
Oh, okay. I had no knowledge of the early access feature, depending on game purchases. From my standpoint, if a game just released, you would think in a few weeks or months, that is when you can see the full walkthrough of the game over on TH-cam. Thanks for the message, as this helped out my curiosity, lol.
I even do almost all the side quests. Around 38 hours . If you wanna do everything it’s probably 50 but that’s not that long. And we got it on the 7th not the 10th
At the beginning of the fight with Solomon, I was shouting at my TV "I don't want to fight you, I'll take care of the Inferi, go talk it out with Seba...WILL YOU STOP SHOOTING ME! IM NOT THE ONE AT FAULT HERE! If the two of you would just have a little Dr. Phil time you would....WHY ARE YOU MAKING A VORTEX TO HELL??? FINE, YOU WANNA DANCE, OLD MAN? LET'S DANCE!"
Something that annoyed me throughout the game is that no one had anything to call you buy other than, "That new fifth year." Most of the time they just avoid having to say anything when anyone's talking to you.
@@bsd1158 you wont miss out on it only if you picked the option for sebastion to be reported. if you choose not to report him he will be in the undercroft and be able to teach you it
Mh I'd say yes cause the scene in the great hall is a bit different if you betrayed Sebastian or not. Cause then either Ominis will talk to you or Sebastian with Sebastian learning the truth about Anne's curse. Or they might just leave that scene out if you didn't finish his questline. Which makes me wonder if he'll ever learn about Anne's curse then
I liked a majority of the game but I feel like the developers where sick of making this game at the end and just decided to put 20% into the finally. the ending has no meaning because everything the game lead up to just evaporates at this point. its also kind of disappointing that using dark arts infront of all your teachers has no effect. and for a game called Hogwarts legacy I hoped the castle would be more than just the setting of the first hours of the game
@@larryhernandez2695 no. There are limited number of combats for which you get reward XP. Once reached the limit, fighting enemies wont get you any additional XP
Bad Ending is good, Slytherin one . I just manipulate Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow to get what i want and at end get all power he/she want from beginning ...
@@cruellasdog yes and I’m saying that as game characters following the whole game story it’s clear the relations with goblins and wizards is volatile at best so no alliance would be made and also by following the story you can see that the witch is the one drawing out the power and storing it, therefore if it belong to anyone it’s her
@@xwx8037 Right and Lodgok flatout said goblins and wizards see ownership different. Goblins whoever MAKES the item owns it wizards see whoever BOUGHT the item as rightful owner
Honestly, I was super disappointed with the endings. I chose to open and use the repository in hopes of becoming a king of the world and ruling Hogwarts or something, but instead, Fig died and I got nothing out of it, not even a cool spell. Great game overall, but it lacked story depth and character development. Besides, I’m super dissatisfied with the “Bad” ending, since nothing cool happened, like getting a new spell or something 😢
So professor fig dies in the good ending... In what way is that a good ending. Bad ending dosen't seem to be bad at all, I mean he didn't kill anyone and no one died. I see that as an absolute win!
@@FatalFist On the flip side, with great power comes great responsibility. Meaning responsibility to USE that power, not sit idly by and waste its potential. The Keepers are very Jedi Council-ish, and absolutely not in a good way, arrogant and hypocritical.
@@BleedingUranium I see what you're saying, but I believe the message is that no matter how good your intentions may be, that kind of dark power will eventually corrupt you and/or your actions. Isidora truly believed that she was doing good and using her ability responsibility, but she was blind to the harm she was actually causing.
@@redcheck4624 That's the issue though, if the message is that power/ability inherently corrupts (which is what the Keepers believe), then it's really not a great message at all, thus my comparison to the Jedi Council. There are plenty of middle grounds and alternate ways of handling situations that lie between these two outcomes.
I forgot to turn the music back on and the secret ending was so awkward. Me, standing in the back with all those eyes on me and no one cheering but 6 people from my house. Make sure your music is turned on before the ending or it would be so weird
It kinda annoys me how so many dangling plot threads are left. Can Anne be cured? Is Ranrok dead or alive? Whatever happened to the dragon Ranrok sent after us at the beginning of the game? What was the point of introducing that powerful wand if all we ever do with it is show it to two guardians? Why did we kill Rookwood but keep Harlow alive? Also, does Professor Fig die in the bad ending? We see him survive the cliff collapse in the good ending, so...
Harlow dies in natty’s side quest, and fig dies in both endings, not sure about the others tho although, it is assumed ranrok is dead, hopefully, they bring out dlc regarding anne but who knows
Ranrok died, we saw his corpse after the fight. Maybe Fig survived the boulder but decided to die without struggle and not to help us as we told him that we intend to keep the power for ourselves.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 When it comes to Ranrok there's a consensus that he died. When it comes to Fig's death I agree. It was anti-climactic for him to die like this.
Huh, that’s odd, in my Slytherin playthrough I had a third option to keep the power for myself after I said I was opening it, basically my character said Isadora was wasting her time trying to help people and they were tired of being told how they should use their power for basic gist sake hope Hogwarts legacy two really shows how different these outcomes are because right now they’re alittle underwhelming, no final conversation with the keepers about your choice, nada!
Asking what we want to do with this ancient power is such a loaded question. They show you the fall of Isadora and expect you to choose containment. But here's the thing: Ancient magic is like nuclear physics. Sure it can be used for nukes, but since then we have built nuclear reactors that produce clean energy, and are researching fusion that will provide humanity with infinite energy forever. *It's how you use it. Plus ranrok broke through all the safeguard of the keepers, what's stopping ranrok 2.0 from doing the same? Containment definitely doesn't guarantee safety*
I didn’t know it was the end until I was already at the boss battle and I look at my save slots to try to go back to before ollivander’s and everything and ALL MY SAVES ARE THE BOSS BATTLE and the last one that isn’t a boss battle is from ages ago with the rookwood trial
So glad I got the bad ending, I think the secret ending is actually the bad one the last one is the generic ending. You can have both generic and good ending whatever choice you make but the bad ending you must do certain choices to be able to tell Fig ‘’I want this power for myself’’ not everyone could say that.
That is not a secret ending. Everybody gets that no matter what you do you always get that. It’s just a conclusion to the year at Hogwarts quest. There’s nothing special about it. You can get the good ending or the bad ending no matter what you get that quest line
To those saying the bad ending isn't bad I implore you to play the game or watch more than the ending .... By continuing what Isadora started he doesn't actually help anyone it only seems like that at first. Without spoiling it as much as possible if you do know how this actually "helps" others and still think he's doing good please get help lol
I get what your saying but my interpretation of the “bad”ending is that he doesn’t plan on taking more energy form people like she did but use the power that was already collected for good instead of letting it lie dormant until someone else comes along and has to make the same decision down the line. Like if I said I wanted it for power then yea evil but it could be channeled for something else that makes the lives ruined by the past witch worth it
Nope, way I see it we take the ancient magic that was already made by Isidora for ourselves then don't make any more. Isidora taking away pain and making more repository energy was the problem. I chose to take the power for myself, vacuumed it up and then *shocker* I don't just go on an emotion sucking spree. Remember, we COULD then go take away Anne's pain with or without her consent but we don't. Why? Because we know we shouldn't. We learned from Isidora's mistakes and remember, Isidora became corrupted because of her obsession with taking away pain. Ranrok became corrupted because of his hatred for wizardkind and wanted a weapon to use against them. We've literally no reason to be corrupted, all the problems are solved. Even Rookwood gets his shit rocked and Harlow gets jailed.
@@CerberusMalt a few counter points absorbing the magic doesn't mean you can suck emotions you clearly state you don't know how in Sebastian's quests. Anne was cursed by Rookwood its never implied he used ancient magic just that he cursed her therefore sucking out her emotions would accomplish nothing you need to break the curse Assuming there isn't a line saying you'd continue what Isidora started.. power corrupts those who wield it that's true in real life and is definitely a fantasy trope Isidora also had good intentions but that type of power corrupted her as it will do to your character
Interesting. On my playthrough I was able to say '' I want the power for myself ''. And as far as the 'secret ending' thats... literally a main quest at the end of the game?
Sebastian’s quest line was one of the best parts about this game. That being said, I felt as if the ending to the main story was less than satisfying.
I think the game really shines in terms of worldbuilding, detail, atmosphere game mechanics and landscape, sound visuals etc. That being said the characters, dialogs and story is average at best comparing it to other story games. Everything is super predictable, 1 dimensional and lacks creativity.
I am happy with what we got and enjoyed my experience but at the same it could have been so much more….
unfortunately the story started very well, with a good pace and a good development, but as you progress the feeling that it was written in a hurried and banal way becomes more and more evident. Too bad, because I would have gladly played it for another 60 hours if not more.
@@lorenzofurnari the excitement on my face really just vanished from my face when I realized the final boss is just Ranrok in dragon form... and we'd be fighting whole 3 phases of what's essentially a dragon spewing fire at us. I was expecting a wizard to wizard type of solution, where you'd actually be tested with your spells, parry, your magical capabilities in general. I wasn't thrilled to be dodging fire breath attacks and blowing up orbs for the whole fight. It was such a drag.
@@MKWander paradoxically the best fights were neither against Ranrok nor against Rookwood, but against Harlow and Sebastian's uncle😅
@@lorenzofurnari I agree. I wanted more wizard to wizard duels tbh. I know we were fighting a whole lot of poachers and ashwinders but think of the scene in Order of the phoenix for example with everyone coming together to fight their own opponents head on etc, where Sirius dies. That's the kind of scene I wanted to see here as well but we're just fighting goblins and spiders. The professors join in during the last fight which was cool but I wished they were more involved with the story other than just chiming in during the last 2 hours of the game.
Sebastian's story seems far more interesting than what happens with the main character.
Legit, I mean seems like the whole game was made from him. No wonder he got his own trailer
@@rabiyaashraf950 tbh it all looks boring, just another Ubisoft open world game with "secrets" and zero immersion.

@@GemGames3 It’s what we do after all
1. That's not a secret ending, you get that by reaching lvl 34 and doing The House Cup quest. And 2. The Sebastian ending isn't an ending of the main quest, it's the last part of Sebastian's side quest.
this comment should be pinned
Also this bad ending isn't the REAL bad ending as those who chose the 3rd option will take in the power and eyes glow red too!
@@ameliedewittewhat third option?
@@shad3115 the option to tell fig you want to release the power.
@@andytheshark so does Anna disappear hating her brother regardless if you help him get the spells or not? Does Fig have to die no matter what & what are the truth good, bad & neutral endings so I have a better understanding for when I get there?
i fell bad for Sebastian cause if you dont do the questline for him we never find out what happens to Anne but if you do she hates him Sebastian cant win it seems
I wish if you choose evil ending you can help his sister since you kept the ancient magic to learn how to use it properly. In my head canon that’s what my character does lmfao
@@statesminds that’s what I thought was going to happen too. Honestly very disappointed with the ending
Part of me feels bad for Sebastian but also doesn’t. He means well but throughout the story he’s never hesitated blame others and neglect accountability at the expense of others.
@@yourbarber6732 Blaming others is a coping mechanism though.
@@yourbarber6732 Completely agree with you!
Instead of making Ranrok immune to the killing curse, they absolutely should have added a separate ending where he gets instakilled, but your character is expelled and sent to Azkaban.
Literally, I mean that or let us learn the curse after the main story I mean: no the unforgivable, unblockable instant killing curse, it’s to bad to be used *does 0 damage against boss without explanation*
I seriously forbid myself to use the unforgivable spells while Fig and the rest were there because I was scared it would have consequences.

I was slightly disappointed that you don't really gain anything from any of the endings. Would've been cool if by keeping the power for yourself you'd unlock something like a spell, perk or even an outfit.
That was a fucking horse shit of a game and i am the biggest wizarding world dick rider, i mean , the story line, not interesting, to much shit going on, to much no sense going on Just a splash of a bunch of shit, the finale looooool what the fuck was that? That was literally like an iPhone game the only thing that Is Crazy in Hogwarts Legacy it's matter of fact, Hogwarts, i played 60 hours Just for the end tò be like 10 minutes with nothing happening no plot twist no explanation of nothing man that was so retarded
same i really love the game but the ending kinda sucks, i thought by choosing the opion keep the power for yourself you can become the villain but nothing...
Same here kinda sad but still great all the way around
LOL what do you mean though? You can use ancient magic that's something. And how you use it is up to you. That said though, they gotta leave something for Hogwarts Legacy 2
I think the whole game was slighyly underwhelming
I had no idea Fig died being crushed by that rock until the speech later mourning him. It was just so unexpected for him to go out like that
Well only in one of the endings and frankly that ending was surprisingly lack-lustre so I'm glad I stuck with the good ending for my first run (without realising)
Same here. I was like, wait he died? When?? And started replaying it in my head and slowly came to realise it was that rock. I was weirded out by my character saying "for professor fig" while fighting but it all made sense during that speech 😂
I think Sebastian's questline is the actual gameplay and the main quests are just something to do in between as Sebastian's is way more interesting xD
absolutely, when I got owl message I always gets disappointed when there is no Sebastian quest line, and whenever I have one I dropped everything else to do that first, at first I was keen on learning the first 2 spells, but in the end I simply just really enjoying the friendship between Maincharacter, Seb, Ominis and Anne and I cannot wait to kill uncle Sallow for being mean.
I was disappointed with the "Bad Ending" because the Keepers suggested you have 3 options. Take the power for yourself, destroy the repository or keep it sealed. I wanted to destroy it for good so I chose to open it, leading to "keeping the power for myself".
@Giveaway229 Hell yeah bro, Imma send you my IP, adress and bank details ASAP!
But destroying the repository is literally releasing the power on the world, you cannot destroy that power, only what contains it, that was clear during the game. Keep sealed, release it on the world or keep it to yourself
Bro same what the fuck
The look Ominis gives when Black praises Slytherin’s traits is so heartbreaking
Ambition is a good quality tho
@@che3601 only sometimes

@@che3601slytherin is a bad house. The members of other houses have lots of ambition and determination just as well (Natty, Poppy) but combine it with courage or loyalty and empathy which makes them Griffindor and Hufflepuff and a positive character.
Slytherin have ambitions but mostly care just themselves as demonstrated in this game and the books.
I had the first ending, but I had different voice options to choose from. I picked "I intend to open it", but instead of picking "This power should not be kept from the world." I had a third option saying "I want all the power for myself."
Same here.
How you guys finished the game already? How many hours is the Story?
@@juliachan3684 if u really try to finish the main story about 15-25 hrs
Do I still get evil ending for wanting power for myself?
@@CeeJay_7 yeah you do
There's literally no consequential difference for the story whether you choose to contain or release the power, however, if you choose to release the power, your wand will swirl with ancient magic in battle after the ending.
PS: also, that's not a secret ending... it's the normal epilogue everyone gets.
Proof that wand does that?
@@shadefulcrum167 play the fucking game💀💀💀
Mine always does that lol
Sebastian saying "Oh Anne. What have you done?" shows he really not only has no remorse for what he did, but he doesn't even recognize he was wrong. I thought he might have dropped his wand out of regret for killing his uncle, but after that line, I suspect he dropped it out of joyous shock. He was so thrilled he wouldn't have to fight anymore, he would, in his mind anyways, finally be able to save his sister. Even when the very person he is trying to save fights directly against him, he doesn't realize he is wrong. They did a fantastic job showing what the dark arts does to a person, and subsequently their thought process, but they didn't give us enough time to know Sebastian before he learned the dark arts. It would have made his obsession with curing his sister and the decent into madness it caused him much clearer than portrayed. Still I can't complain too much, they still got the story across.
The German synchro made it sound like the "What have you done?" was addressed to himself. So he only then realized what a horrible thing he just did. So I only interpreted it that way.
@@gwenhuginn That is very interesting indeed. I tried finding a video of the scene in German and I couldn't. I'd love to see what the character actually says. I'm nowhere near even conversational in German, but I do remember my conjugations, and it would be rather unfortunate for us English speakers if the gravity of that scene was better conveyed in other languages.
Edit: Honestly if what you say is true and he does indeed ask himself what he has done, albeit in the third person, that would show regret and possibly even remorse. That would make me feel a bit guilty about turning him in. Not entirely, he is still wrong after all, but knowing he will likely loose what little sanity he had left isolated from everyone in Azkaban because of us turning him in does make me feel a little bad for him. There's a lotta fucked up Witches and Wizzards in that world, but very few deserve dementor treatment in my opinion, and Sebastian isn't one of them.
@@sacred_g I personally think he is really remorseful. First I find it interesting, he never uses dark arts outside these instances in the missions. Perhaps its laziness of the developers but I think he really uses them only for last resorts like cruxio or imperio (I hope those names are also in english cuz I also played the game in german). And he only uses Avada Kedava when he got overwhelmed by his feelings, which is truly his weakness.
And another reason I believe he is remorseful is if you dont learn those spells in the mission and ask him to teach them to you he asks if you are really sure you wanna learn Avada Kedava, even after everything that happened. If he was truly power hungry I think he wouldnt have said that. But I personally would have prefered a middle ground ending for him like him being forbidden to use magic or so untill he gets his emotions in check.
If you go through the end of the questline and don't turn him in, he says Anne won't talk to him, but isn't going to turn him in, saying that the grief Sebastian feels is more than enough for his crimes. He then goes on to admit what he did was bad, and regrets it all. He is also oddly missing from the House Cup Ceremony, all you see is Ominous Gaunt.
@@Faxanadu_ I didn't see this in my game but I have seen this on youtube. To me it didn't feel genuine. He regrets losing the relationship with his sister more than losing his uncle. I dare say that if he had somehow been able to twist Anne into not shutting him out of her life, he might not even regret his actions. Besides I also think about what he said to me in the Undercroft. "I didn't *mean* to kill my uncle." Yet Sebastian himself is the one that tells us the unforgivable curses are different. You have to *mean* it for it to work. Yes it is possible to mean something now, and regret it later. However telling me in the Undercroft he didn't mean to kill is, whether Sebastian realizes it or not, actually factually incorrect. Even if he regrets it now, in that moment, he *meant* to kill his uncle. I did see a comment somewhere say "oh he didn't fully mean it, that is why his uncle didn't die immediately." Maybe there is some weight to that theory, I think it was just dramatic effect to coincide with Anne showing up.
I just want to give Sebastian a hug
Professor Fig's death scene in the good ending is a real gut punch 😢

You mean Paimon right?
@@darkestwilightt Ha! I wasn't thinking of genshin when I named him Emergency Food but that reference does work.
while i love the game, i wish choices would matter more. I feel like the game is a little too straight, we should've been able to get different endings to sebastians story.
They probably didn’t want to do that because they have sequels in mind. Its going to be a great decision in the long run.
I 100% percent thought that if you give the bitch response all the time is has some effect but doesn't seem like it has.
Sebastian hit his own uncle with Avada Kedavra shit caught me off guard
When I got the bad ending, I got the real bad ending. My character didn't say he'll use the power for good. He said it's his power by right and he'll use it to rule the world or something like that. I literally can't find anything online about that ending.
Sebastian story was the most interesting, because you either decide to turn him in or talk with Ominis about it. He will dissappear after the final talk, you can find letter from Anne to him at their home in Feldcroft. Or if you decide to turn Sebastian in, he will be sent to Azkaban.
i feel bad for sebastian, in a way i don't think he was a bad person. he kinda shares a akins story in way, all he wants to do is save the person he cares for the most. but does it all in the wrong way
He did the right thing, his Uncle was a horrible person. I only wish I could have killed him and taken the heat instead, because i dont really give a shit what Anne and Ominis think of me
In the end Sebastian enjoys dark magic. He likes controlling the inferii. Anne’s rescue becomes more and more a defensive lie.
Honestly what we do with non-forbidden spells to the enemies is so cruel that story couldn't make me think that spells like avada kedavra are not merciful. Honestly Crucio is the only real forbidden one for me. In wizarding world you have love potion that basically controls somebody else, yet imperio is the big bad. Because of that Sebastian's story is great but because of how horrible other spells seem, it's getting hard to believe that dark arts make him choose to kill his uncle amd not his trauma and personality
Honestly the only difference between good and bad. Is you hold Professor Fig in your arms as he dies. Both endings has you seal away the magic. Plus that secret ending is just you completing the game.
11:06 with this power, we could be more powerful than voldemort
Voldemort is just very skilled with horcruxes
Bro dont say the name .
I mean you could be a demi god if you think about it
u mean more powerfull than potter, voldemort, dumbledore and grindelwald combined? I dont think any of those was half as powerfull at 15 years of age
My favorite part is the part where you see different teachers showing their classes.
And also the part where prof. Weasly gave points. That ending felt like watching a harry potter movie and reminded me about the first harry potter movie for some reason.
The professor fig death looked emotional.
I'm not yet at that part, just finished that quest where Sebastian can teach you crucio.
Still need to do the map chamber quest.
I also haven't learned bombarda and that transformation spell for some reason. Just reached level 32 as I'm writing this.
"I want all the power to myself".
Not sure how I ended up with the "third" option on the bad ending, but was definitely worth it 😎
I got that option to 😅 I still picked the world should know about it though ( didn’t wanna seem to evil 🤣) if you picked the 3rd option did you just inhale it like in this video or did something else happen?
It is a bit disappointing you cant use the power when you take it as you dont change after it you go on about your day as normal when you finish the main quest. I think you should of got some cool power from it.
@@giggity4670 I agree with you! 100%. We picked evil over hero path but it still plays us basically as hero cause no one acknowledges we even use the forbidden spells or anything.

I'm sure you get it by siding with seb.

13:13 Any ending in which your character wears that hat instantaneously qualifies as a bad ending in my book.
There’s only 2 endings good or bad. With the “secret ending” being an epilogue tie up. The the Sebastian ending is just the last main quest in seb questline

(2)"This Power should not be kept from the world"
and I had
(3)"I want the power for myself" did all side quests and Sebastian's quests before the main quest.
The ending was really disappointing. Literally, the only difference is that Fig dies next to us instead of "outside the screen". There is no change in what you choose, they could at least give us a new spell if we choose a bad end or new cloth skin, but there is nothing.

You underestimate the hardcore gamers. That is why I always roll my eyes when teasers for new games come out and developers give us an idea of how long the game’s story is.
Sometimes too though, a kid works for GameStop and gets his hands on a copy early.
I liked this game way more than I thought I would. It has some genuinely great characters like natty and poppy which I don’t see anyone talking about because Sebastian was also in the spotlight. That said. I would expect that now that the gate is open and with the success there will be an inevitable sequel. I would prefer seeing a game in the same style but unrelated to this story. I think it’s largely wrapped up. Any loose threads can be tied down in expansions or left loose. It is a good self contained story in this universe. Now let us see something a bit different. Maybe a game set even further back in time. Or one set in modern times. Go to Japan, America, or Africa and visit those schools. My only holdup with this game is the same I had with the shadow games. How does it fit into the lore? I wouldn’t mind if it was a separate thing and they were allowed to do whatever they wanted. In games it’s hard to play as anyone but the strongest character ever because you are the player. Our character in hog leg is out here taking out hundreds of wizards and dozens at once yet there can obviously be no mention of him in normal lore because they are whatever you make of them. I do find it annoying when you defeat one or two ashwinders and your guy mumbles about how “no one will believe this” right after I just killed three trolls and a dozen other wizards.
Poppy is my favorite.
Ominous Gant was the best part about this game imo. Refreshing to see a descendant of Salazar who's in Slytherin even tho he's probably the nicest guy on school. Also loved seeing him walking around the school with his wand as a walking stick.
Natty and Poppy were my least favourite characters tbh. Just wanted to get through their stories, so i could get back to Sebastian, Anne and Gaunt. That whole event felt like the main story to me.
@@Raffalius I agree with the fact that Sebastian's story is deeply intertwined with the main story, honestly I don't agree with that and think it gives him more clout than his story actually merits. I'm not saying his story isn't good, it is. But I love the other two main students' stories as well. I particularly applaud the writers for making Natty more than just a black person for representation reasons. So many games fall into that pitfall and forget to give their characters actual character beyond their appearance. I never felt like I was being preached at with Natty, she was a great character, Poppy is my fav though, she's adorable and reminds me of like a really tiny but really fierce puppy.
@@bcfb21 I'm kind of thinking the opposite. Natty is WAY too nice. She's got no flaws really which make her insipid and kind of a bore.
But I'm thinking the developers did this because they didn't want to give a big flaw to a black woman that people could hate on. Which is a shame really, characters are more interesting when they are flawed
@@tekakiuluy3221 they are. But I’m just glad I’m not being preached at by her for her blackness. Natty has the “hero flaw” as I call it. She’s “just too good of a person” which is a lame flaw to give someone. Would’ve liked to see her get a bit darker. Maybe lash out at the criminals and show some real trauma over her father’s death. Nothing is perfect and I’m not saying natty is my favorite character ever. Only that I thought it was nice for her place of birth to not factor into her character much. I also wish we could’ve seen her do some magic without a wand since she said no one in uagadu uses a wand so she must be somewhat proficient with non-wand magic but the one time her wand gets taken from her she can’t even open a door which kinda sucked. My problem with Sebastian getting so much praise is that people are acting like he genuinely is the best character ever. His motivations are pretty one dimensional and you can see the plot twists coming from literal hours and hours away. Despite that I don’t think any of the main cast is horribly written. I think they could all be picked apart with legit problems but I never dreaded the idea of hanging out with any of them.
All the quests you did in the game had only one purpose: to let in only the chosen one.
At the end of the game, six professors went in.
The trials only allowed whoever could use ancient magic but the repository allows anyone. Even Isadora let students into the repository to take away their pain.
Well there were two repositories the main one under hogwarts and a small one under rookwood castle where ranrok got his power
I loved Sebastian's story more than most of the main story tbh. But I will say, when he calls you ignorant I got HEATED. I was SO MAD bro. I'm glad the "That was cruel" line led to a professional F*CK YOU because that's what I wanted to say irl. I was super sad about Fig tho. He was like the family your character doesn't seem to have. And I felt AWFUL for Ominis after Sebastian's questline if you turn him in. He basically lost his family all over again since he barely speaks to his bio one due to their traditions and practices and his abuse from it. I wanted to tell him that he would always have a family with my character
For those of you wondering why the Bad End doesn't seem bad at all, it's one of those typical moral things about "no one man should have all that power" (yes, I did just quote one of Kanye's songs). It's basically suggesting that, despite doing good, he would also eventually lose control of the power he wielded. That no man can control such power forever, that him having more power than basically all of Wizard kind is a bad thing.
It's pretty weak, I gotta admit, especially given the story ends with the game (I doubt they'll sequel this thing. If they do, it probably won't have this dude in it at all). So all of what I said can never be seen and is merely suggested, so ultimately fails to show a consequence to taking the power for yourself.
It's the horoscope of endings: "Your future will be evil because Repository is in orbit. Be careful to not to sit on your wand on Tuesdays and pronounce it Levio-sir to annoy those around you who say it's Levio-sah. You are the true lord of the dance no matter what those idiots at work say."
My theory is there will be a sequel but different story altogether possibly with grindewald and dumbledore then another one could be in the marauders era and then another one set after the Harry potter books, means they can build better storylines and use different Spells as well maybe even having a proper schooling system in place along with quiddich
They probably ran out of time. There's a ton of other things in the game as well that feel unfinished. The caves, the gear system, the lack of a curfew system, and no followers outside of specific missions.
@@tezz2698 Possibly. I mean, game studios are increasingly cruel to their staff when it comes to time limits. I mean, it happened with Blood 2, it happened with Prey 2 (sequel to the original, not the one with mimics, Bethesda killed a studio being dicks about time), so it's plausible.
That was the neutral ending, the real bad ending replies by saying “I want all the power for myself” and it’s way more intense dialogue
@@CheatActivated Ah, I see, so the one in the video is just mislabelled and the bad end is missing. Yeah, "I want the power for me" is a lot more evil, definitely less explaining needed for that.
Just completed this game, thought the ending was shit. Sebastian story was more intriguing than the actual story imo.
I had Solomon conjure a giant flame tornado right as I beat him and it kept going throughout the dramatic cutscene, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't loud as hell too.
What happens if you say I intend to keep it. Then say “you’re right” to Fig’s response?
It's basically a back track that let's you go back to the good ending
Professor Black was criminally underutilized in this game. In fact, I would've preferred if unexpectedly _he_ would've appeared to save us from that falling pillar, as means of validating him as a person whose portrait's would celebrate Voldemort's downfall. Professor Black's supposed to be unpleasant, not evil. The game is just a _little_ poorer for missing an opportunity to see him step up when it truly matters, as the rightful Head of Hogwarts that he in fact is, it just is a bit out of character for him to do nothing.
Moreover, the voice actor described him as a "help and a hindrance" to our progress? No, he wasn't, he was barely in the game. Have him show up unexpectedly in Hogsmeade to fend off Victor Rookwood, Theophilus Harlow, or both during a _later_ quest than the troll attack. A cutscene where a Killing Curse is cast, and before it can hit us, we're either magically yanked out of the way with a Locomotion Charm, or an object comes soaring through the air obstructing it's path. Black stands there, wand aloft and tells him in no uncertain terms that he'll step away from his student(s) if he knows what's good for him. Rookwood is taken a bit aback by seeing _Black_ of all people come to our rescue, which is followed by a brief cutscene duel where we see that the two of them are fairly evenly matched, but ends with the good headmaster getting the upper hand and lands a spell that blasts him into a wall.
A triumphant Professor Black asks if he is ready to surrender yet. Rookwood might pick himself up, a tad unsteadily, and bitterly demand to know why Black's interfering, remarking that that rumours had it that he didn't particularly care for his students. Black can snort in a contemptuous manner, and haughtily respond something along the lines of:
"I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Rookwood. I might not particularly _enjoy_ every part of that job, but surely, not even _you_ can be naive enough to expect me to simply stand idly by and _let_ you attack one of my students right in front of me? You could never land a spell on me in the duelling club when we were students, Victor, and you certainly won't be able to land one on this pupil whilst I am here. So do the smart thing and walk away while you still can. Go on - be off with you! Chop, chop!".
See? Now he's being a help. Then he could be a hindrance by seeing us in his office after the fact where he confronts us about the rumours of our "extracurricular activities" with Professor Fig. He could say that he had half a mind to revoking our Hogsmeade privileges so we'll be be forbidden from leaving the grounds under any circumstances, and would, if he found so much as a shred of evidence that said rumours were true. He could remove points, give us a detention with a snide reference to the special assignments the teachers gives us, where we must learn the Scouring Charm by Gladwin Moon and help clean the Trophy Room after Peeves spilled something on the various student accolades as part of our punishment. Maybe run some errands around the castle for other teachers, too, before we could continue to next main quest? See? Hindrance.
Or if he _did_ revoke our privileges, sneaking out of the castle through the secret passage to Hogsmeade because come curfew, Hogwarts would enter a complete lockdown to prevent us from leaving, so we would have to sneak out through the secret passage to Honeydukes to exit the castle, as every entrance in and out of the castle had been sealed by Black himself. We could meet Fig in Hogsmeade, who reveals that luckily for them, in addition to being the professor of Magical Theory, he is also Keeper of the Keys, so while the other teachers patrols _inside_ the castle, one of his duties is to patrol the grounds, so that's how he sneaked out. He doesn't want us to tell how we did it, but he does prudently remind us of the importance of being back in the castle before morning so Black won't know that we've been gone, before Side-Along Apparating us to the quest area.
See? Hindrance. Another, more subtle way he could involve himself absent heroics that came to me when I overheard an exchange I heard between two student NPCs went like this:
"One would've thought Aurors - or someone from the Ministry - would've have been here by now to protect us after that troll attack in Hogsmeade."
"Black would never allow it, he'd seem completely incompetent. Which he is! Ha, ha!".
Well, what with a different interaction from the teachers?
*Abraham Ronen:* I say, have you spoken to the Headmaster today? He never showed up for breakfast; and it's not like him to miss a meal.
*Matilda Weasley:* He was sleeping in this morning, and I can't say I blame him. I daresay that he has been more proactive last night than I've ever seen him.
*Abraham Ronen:* What do you mean?
*Matilda Weasley:* He received an owl from Sirona Ryan, the landlady at the Three Broomsticks. Apparently, right after the troll attack in Hogsmeade, Victor Rookwood and Theophilus Harlow came to the Three Broomsticks and wanted to talk to our new fifth year. Rookwood's taken an interest in them, for some reason, so Professor Black has been up all night increasing the security around the castle.
^Abraham Ronen:* That is troubling news indeed. But Hogwarts is safe enough? Why would he feel the need to reinforce the protections around the school? Even if Rookwood _had_ stood a chance of breaching the castle's defences to get to the student, surely, you are not suggesting that the Headmaster believes that he would be foolish enough to try?
*Matilda Weasley:* I highly doubt it, but he said it was a precaution. He even refused to let me help him when I offered to assist him, and insisted to handle it himself.
*Abraham Ronen:* A precaution? But - forgive me, Professor Weasley, but I was rather under the impression that the enchantments around that was already in place were _already_ enough to keep out Rookwood and his ilk?
*Matilda Weasley:* They certainly were, but while the Headmaster does not put much stock in rumours about mounting goblin rebellions, he's insisting on taking no chances where Dark wizards such as Victor Rookwood are concerned.
*Aesop Sharp:* Well, that is _something_ I suppose... Even if he only did it to be seen as doing something in case it came out that he was alerted to Rookwood targeting a student and he would look bad if he just kept twiddling his thumbs.
*Matilda Weasley:* _Aesop!_
*Aesop Sharp:* What? Do you disagree?
*Abraham Ronen:* Let's not quibble! Let's just finish our rounds and try to get a bit of shut-eye before morning comes knocking, shall we?
*Aesop Sharp:* Very well, Abraham.
See? Help. For the wrong reasons, but narratively speaking; help.
I would also have liked an acknowledgement of the fact that Black, while _unsuited_ to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts because he took the job for the wrong reasons, isn't at all _unqualified_ for the job, which are two different things. It'd be so easy, too: Sneak into the Faculty Tower during the Side Quest "Lunar Lament" and let's hear Matilda or some other teacher lament about how Professor Black _could_ have made for a great administrator if only he had been less involved. Something along the lines of:
*Bai Howin:* Did you speak to the Headmaster? He still hasn't answered my owl.
*Matilda Weasley:* Yes, yes, he said he was too busy now, but that he would be getting around to it soon.
*Bai Howin:* Another delay?
*Matilda Weasley:* I know, I know! Honestly, I shall never understand that man. We teachers spend _all year_ revising the curriculum, and all he has to do is to go over our notes. Once a year, he's scheduled to meet with the Board of Governors to review the syllabus for the next term before sending it in for approval by the Department of Magical Education, and he always waits until the last possible moment to do it! It's a shame, because while he's never been too fond of teaching, it's not as though he does not value learning in and of itself, you know. Some of his insights has done wonders for our lesson plans, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Just imagine the quality of the education offered at Hogwarts would have looked like if he took an actual interest in what we taught the students?
Have the Headmaster's office been more explorable. Note that there's a collection of alchemical manuscripts in the bookshelves, and have the MC note how impressive it is that Black's taken an academic interest in alchemy, as that's some of the most difficult magic known to wizardkind. Have some letters spread around his office where we're informed that he is established to be in correspondence with other notable members of academia for _his own sake_ - maybe even some of the same people Dumbledore corresponds with as a student, like Bathilda Bagshot and so on. Black's noted to be more preoccupied with the kudos of being the Headmaster of the greatest wizarding world, that he is very preoccupied with his status in the wizarding world; how about having us find copies of scholarly journals? Hsow funny wouldn't it be to find a stack of them; "Look at this! _The Practical Potioneer,_ _Transfiguration Today,_ _Challenges in Charming_ - Professor Black's been publishing papers in all of these! Wait - there are pages missing from some of these? Why would Professor Black rip apart his own journals?", and then we find the missing pages; papers written by other professors at the school in the drawer of his desk. Professor Black's pettily pulled them out so he will only see his own work when he reads them and hidden the evidence. :'D
And this was just off the top of my head. SO many missed opportunities.
Bro. You don't know what TLDR is or something? No one is reading all that shit
What is wrong with u?🤣
On Reddit this might get more traction than in YT comment section. The whole game is one big missed opportunity.
You need to write that as a whole new story on wattpad. I'll read them
@@voice_of_terra7228 I think he just copy pasted this from Reddit anyway
depending on your dialog and advancement in the side quest, the choice you can make at the final battle is different..I dont entirely sure which side quest or dialog affect this
Bad ending best ending he got all the power and still did good.
I was so pissed
Are you 12 ?
What are you talking about!?!? He doesn't do any good.... By continuing Isadora's work he at best hurts many people and at worst becomes corrupted by the power gained by hurting others
It's implied the MC will eventually go dark, as Isidora did. That's why it's the bad ending, because you're just continuing along her footsteps
@@redcheck4624 there will be no eventually, you think like that because you thought it will be like that. But for me the MC will do good and do just fine.
I legit enjoyed Sebastian's quest more than the main quests, I'm surprised that it wasn't set to change the course of the game but rather just gave us reasons to affect our choices. Natty and Poppy's side quests were also fun to go through and Poppy's side was 2nd best to Sebastian's.
There should have been more.. I agree. I wish if it's not DLC than perhaps a sequel. But I do feel like it's a good beginning for this title.
The ending intro was best felt like Professor Assembled! 😂 Also my favourite quest was headmaster one that was hilarious made me genuinely laugh
was a cool ending and truue and i talked to a few students as him lol.
@@rjc523 yeah I bullied that Weasley kid and sacred him 😂
mahaha me too! i seriously lol it was so funny, good times
Black knows he is cocking up the speech but at least it became apparent he did actually feel bad about figs death as he starts to hold back his blubbing
I got a third opinion to choose from after saying I'd release it. Basically the same as the bad ending but my character said he'd use it because it's his power
Plot twist: Hogwarts Legacy isn't about your character, or any of the Ranrok stuff, or any of the Ancient magic stuff.
It's all about Sebastian.
I’ll be honest with you sabby the only reason I stuck around this long was to learn the killing curse
when i was looking at your characters name i did NOT expect to see Harry Potter
You barley interact with the professors, Fig is only on the chamber to tell you he'll wait for you on the next trial, and when you get to that said trail he goes back to the chamber. I was expecting a twist like Fig was the real villain, like the grandson of the girl and he was using imperious to control goblins and blame them. Besides Rookwood what was his role he appear in like threes scenes and then you kill him. And what's worst is that under Hogwarts there is this extremely powerful ancient magic and no one tried to get it before Harry's story, nor even Voldemort.
I have yet again been bamboozled. The title says there's a secret ending, but when going to the supposed "secret ending" chapter on the video, it's literally just the post game cutscene, which is not secret and is part of the normal ending.
Man, this game was just released on the 10th of this month. How does anyone manage to complete the game fully in so little time? 😳
Deluxe edition buyers had early access. Ive already completed 100% of the collections, challenges and achievements
Oh, okay. I had no knowledge of the early access feature, depending on game purchases. From my standpoint, if a game just released, you would think in a few weeks or months, that is when you can see the full walkthrough of the game over on TH-cam. Thanks for the message, as this helped out my curiosity, lol.
@@devinbutler6583 i will need at least 2 years just to finish main story
@@thindrobin91 I know the feeling lol
I even do almost all the side quests. Around 38 hours . If you wanna do everything it’s probably 50 but that’s not that long. And we got it on the 7th not the 10th
At the beginning of the fight with Solomon, I was shouting at my TV
"I don't want to fight you, I'll take care of the Inferi, go talk it out with Seba...WILL YOU STOP SHOOTING ME! IM NOT THE ONE AT FAULT HERE! If the two of you would just have a little Dr. Phil time you would....WHY ARE YOU MAKING A VORTEX TO HELL??? FINE, YOU WANNA DANCE, OLD MAN? LET'S DANCE!"
Can't deny Sebastian Questline is way too good comparing with the MC questlines. nice to see that
Something that annoyed me throughout the game is that no one had anything to call you buy other than, "That new fifth year." Most of the time they just avoid having to say anything when anyone's talking to you.
Do you have to do Sebastian’s quest before the games ending or can it be left till afterwards?
Can be left to do afterwards
You can do it later but you'l miss out on avara kedavra. Its the most fun spell in the game tbh. You can one shot almost anything.
@@bsd1158 you wont miss out on it only if you picked the option for sebastion to be reported. if you choose not to report him he will be in the undercroft and be able to teach you it
Mh I'd say yes cause the scene in the great hall is a bit different if you betrayed Sebastian or not. Cause then either Ominis will talk to you or Sebastian with Sebastian learning the truth about Anne's curse. Or they might just leave that scene out if you didn't finish his questline. Which makes me wonder if he'll ever learn about Anne's curse then
It is my headcannon that because I killed Ranrok Sebastians sister is free of the curse but she will not tell Sebastian because he killed their uncle.
Ranrok didn't curse her...Victor Rookwood did...
i did the bad ending but still got the end scene where the professors are talking in the dining hall
You get the secret ending based off of different actions and indepentently from your Choice with the Power.
Had my legendary mask on for the evil ending so I didn't even notice my eyes turn red 💀
I liked a majority of the game but I feel like the developers where sick of making this game at the end and just decided to put 20% into the finally. the ending has no meaning because everything the game lead up to just evaporates at this point. its also kind of disappointing that using dark arts infront of all your teachers has no effect. and for a game called Hogwarts legacy I hoped the castle would be more than just the setting of the first hours of the game
I love how professor fig just got yeeted and the games immediately like “sell your gear” lmao
What cape are you wearing in the video please? I must find/have it!
does the secret ending happen automatically if you've made sure to do most of the stuff?
You can get it whatever are your choices but you need to reach level 34. So yes, if you do 99% completion you can get it.
@@BabyZoneGaming can I just keep doing the battle arena until I get to level 34 or do I have to do 99% completion to get the secret ending
@@larryhernandez2695 no. There are limited number of combats for which you get reward XP. Once reached the limit, fighting enemies wont get you any additional XP
@@BabyZoneGaming OK but to get the secret ending all you have to do is get to level 34
@@larryhernandez2695 yes, but it is impossible to reach it without 99% completion or so.

I suspect that Sebastians quest is setting him up to be the villain of the sequel
I got him expelled
@@ShoukostavernWell, Hermione would certainly try and kill you for that.
1:11 we’re in The thick of it
I took the power to intend on doing good hoping I could cure Sebastian’s sister
I had different responses? Mine said “You’re right” or “I want the power for all mine”
Bad Ending is good, Slytherin one . I just manipulate Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow to get what i want and at end get all power he/she want from beginning ...
Ranrok, who cheated by following the MC rather than learning along the way: "You have no idea what you're doing!"
I have no idea why theoretically we cant build an alliance w the goblins and give them what they say belongs to them like
You just saw what happened when he tried to take the power, it would end in a war. Plus the power isn’t theirs really just what contained it
@@xwx8037 these are game characters they have no free will I'm talking about why the game couldnt be DESIGNED that way
@@cruellasdog yes and I’m saying that as game characters following the whole game story it’s clear the relations with goblins and wizards is volatile at best so no alliance would be made and also by following the story you can see that the witch is the one drawing out the power and storing it, therefore if it belong to anyone it’s her
@@xwx8037 Right and Lodgok flatout said goblins and wizards see ownership different. Goblins whoever MAKES the item owns it wizards see whoever BOUGHT the item as rightful owner
Honestly, I was super disappointed with the endings. I chose to open and use the repository in hopes of becoming a king of the world and ruling Hogwarts or something, but instead, Fig died and I got nothing out of it, not even a cool spell.
Great game overall, but it lacked story depth and character development. Besides, I’m super dissatisfied with the “Bad” ending, since nothing cool happened, like getting a new spell or something 😢
So professor fig dies in the good ending... In what way is that a good ending. Bad ending dosen't seem to be bad at all, I mean he didn't kill anyone and no one died. I see that as an absolute win!
He does in both endings
I suppose the bad ending is bad because it follows the idiom: If power corrupts then absolute power corrupts absolutely
@@FatalFist On the flip side, with great power comes great responsibility. Meaning responsibility to USE that power, not sit idly by and waste its potential. The Keepers are very Jedi Council-ish, and absolutely not in a good way, arrogant and hypocritical.
@@BleedingUranium I see what you're saying, but I believe the message is that no matter how good your intentions may be, that kind of dark power will eventually corrupt you and/or your actions. Isidora truly believed that she was doing good and using her ability responsibility, but she was blind to the harm she was actually causing.
@@redcheck4624 That's the issue though, if the message is that power/ability inherently corrupts (which is what the Keepers believe), then it's really not a great message at all, thus my comparison to the Jedi Council. There are plenty of middle grounds and alternate ways of handling situations that lie between these two outcomes.
I forgot to turn the music back on and the secret ending was so awkward. Me, standing in the back with all those eyes on me and no one cheering but 6 people from my house. Make sure your music is turned on before the ending or it would be so weird
It kinda annoys me how so many dangling plot threads are left. Can Anne be cured? Is Ranrok dead or alive? Whatever happened to the dragon Ranrok sent after us at the beginning of the game? What was the point of introducing that powerful wand if all we ever do with it is show it to two guardians? Why did we kill Rookwood but keep Harlow alive?
Also, does Professor Fig die in the bad ending? We see him survive the cliff collapse in the good ending, so...
Harlow dies in natty’s side quest, and fig dies in both endings, not sure about the others tho although, it is assumed ranrok is dead, hopefully, they bring out dlc regarding anne but who knows
@Kalamity Harlow doesn't die, he gets arrested (despite me using the killing curse on him).
Also, do they hold the funeral for Fig in the bad ending?
Ranrok died, we saw his corpse after the fight. Maybe Fig survived the boulder but decided to die without struggle and not to help us as we told him that we intend to keep the power for ourselves.
@Aleksander Korecki Ranrok could have just as easily been knocked out, and having Fig just die offscreen really cheapens his death...
@@insertclevernamehere1186 When it comes to Ranrok there's a consensus that he died. When it comes to Fig's death I agree. It was anti-climactic for him to die like this.
The end of the secret ending sounded like Lego people cheering you
I thought it was funny that garlik didn't bother coming to help fight at the end
Was hoping best girl would show up but what was she actually gonna do Lmao, chuck mandrakes at them?
There were no plants involved so she didn't turn up lol
@@paradonyx7987 why not? That's that halfb the player's were going
Huh, that’s odd, in my Slytherin playthrough I had a third option to keep the power for myself after I said I was opening it, basically my character said Isadora was wasting her time trying to help people and they were tired of being told how they should use their power for basic gist sake hope Hogwarts legacy two really shows how different these outcomes are because right now they’re alittle underwhelming, no final conversation with the keepers about your choice, nada!
You can still be evil and choose the good ending nothing happens after end game tbh
Would be cool if your decision to take the power at the end of this game effects whether your a good or bad guy in the next game!
0:20 the hell is this Avengers Assemble cutscene?😂
And it's a bunch of old bags appearing making it so funny.
I thought it was cool right until i saw your comment...
Wdym if Avengers used it so that means noone can use it again ever?
Asking what we want to do with this ancient power is such a loaded question. They show you the fall of Isadora and expect you to choose containment. But here's the thing:
Ancient magic is like nuclear physics. Sure it can be used for nukes, but since then we have built nuclear reactors that produce clean energy, and are researching fusion that will provide humanity with infinite energy forever.
*It's how you use it. Plus ranrok broke through all the safeguard of the keepers, what's stopping ranrok 2.0 from doing the same? Containment definitely doesn't guarantee safety*
That's truly awesome-the way you made your character look like Tom Holland.
Jk, this game is amazing, I absolutely love it!
I didn’t know it was the end until I was already at the boss battle and I look at my save slots to try to go back to before ollivander’s and everything and ALL MY SAVES ARE THE BOSS BATTLE and the last one that isn’t a boss battle is from ages ago with the rookwood trial
I’m so pissed
Is there anyway to make Fig survive??

@@BladerArt no
@@YungGoochy wait so Fig is dead no matter what?
@@BladerArt yeah
@@redcheck4624 damn...
I loved seeing the teachers come together. It made me cry when I first played.
So glad I got the bad ending, I think the secret ending is actually the bad one the last one is the generic ending. You can have both generic and good ending whatever choice you make but the bad ending you must do certain choices to be able to tell Fig ‘’I want this power for myself’’ not everyone could say that.
That is not a secret ending. Everybody gets that no matter what you do you always get that. It’s just a conclusion to the year at Hogwarts quest. There’s nothing special about it. You can get the good ending or the bad ending no matter what you get that quest line
To those saying the bad ending isn't bad I implore you to play the game or watch more than the ending .... By continuing what Isadora started he doesn't actually help anyone it only seems like that at first.
Without spoiling it as much as possible if you do know how this actually "helps" others and still think he's doing good please get help lol
Exactly this everyone like evil ending all the way and I’m like WTF
I get what your saying but my interpretation of the “bad”ending is that he doesn’t plan on taking more energy form people like she did but use the power that was already collected for good instead of letting it lie dormant until someone else comes along and has to make the same decision down the line.
Like if I said I wanted it for power then yea evil but it could be channeled for something else that makes the lives ruined by the past witch worth it
Nope, way I see it we take the ancient magic that was already made by Isidora for ourselves then don't make any more. Isidora taking away pain and making more repository energy was the problem. I chose to take the power for myself, vacuumed it up and then *shocker* I don't just go on an emotion sucking spree.
Remember, we COULD then go take away Anne's pain with or without her consent but we don't. Why? Because we know we shouldn't.
We learned from Isidora's mistakes and remember, Isidora became corrupted because of her obsession with taking away pain.
Ranrok became corrupted because of his hatred for wizardkind and wanted a weapon to use against them.
We've literally no reason to be corrupted, all the problems are solved. Even Rookwood gets his shit rocked and Harlow gets jailed.
@@CerberusMalt a few counter points absorbing the magic doesn't mean you can suck emotions you clearly state you don't know how in Sebastian's quests.
Anne was cursed by Rookwood its never implied he used ancient magic just that he cursed her therefore sucking out her emotions would accomplish nothing you need to break the curse
Assuming there isn't a line saying you'd continue what Isidora started.. power corrupts those who wield it that's true in real life and is definitely a fantasy trope Isidora also had good intentions but that type of power corrupted her as it will do to your character
Honestly the first time I played I was fully expecting Fig to be a baddie. Just the way his character was written seemed so dodge to me 😂
Does choosing the bad ending make you more powerful?
no choice does nothing
This type of magic must be very closely related to whatever the Dementors are.
I Hope there will be a dlc❤
Interesting. On my playthrough I was able to say '' I want the power for myself ''. And as far as the 'secret ending' thats... literally a main quest at the end of the game?
this game had so much potential....
