How to unlock new spells in Hogwarts Legacy

Learning spells in Hogwarts Legacy is an integral part of the gameplay, both within and outside the school.

Spells can be unlocked in a variety of ways. Some of them will become available as part of the story, while completing quests, a new student of Hogwarts will be introduced to certain spells. Others can be obtained for completing various side tasks: having become close to one of the teachers, you will be able to learn a new spell from him by completing his instructions.

To open unforgivable spells and develop the Dark Arts branch, you will have to take the side of dark magic and move along the path of an evil caster.

The section with the discovery of new spells will be updated after the release of the game.

How to improve spells in Hogwarts Legacy

In Hogwarts Legacy total 40 levels , for the first 4 talent points are not given, in total the student will have 36 skill points . That being said, the total number of talents to choose from is 48:

• Help-room – 8 skills.
• Stealth – 4 skills.
• Basics – 17 skills.
• Spells – 10 skills.
• Dark Arts – 10 skills.

Upgrades to learned spells are unlocked at various levels that expand and enhance those spells. For each spell, the new level looks different. For example, for Stunned, pumping gives additional damage, and for Levioso, it allows you to raise not only the target, but also its surroundings.

After the release of the game, we will supplement the section with a table with all the improvements.

How to use spells

How to use spells will be shown at the very beginning of the game. By pressing the attack button, you use the most common spell. It is not the strongest, but it is an important part of any combinations.

By holding the attack button and pressing one of the four buttons, you can use the learned spell, which must first be placed on the crosspiece. It is located in the lower right corner and contains total 4 spells . Such a system leaves room for many builds, since you will have to choose spells wisely.

Of course, spells have their own cooldown and spamming them without stopping will not work. Each spell, depending on its meaning, has its own rollback time. After applying, you will notice that the image from the cross has disappeared and gradually reappears.

Top 10 best spells in Hogwarts Legacy

Despite the large selection of spells, there are still top 10 best spells in the game that stand out for their strength or improvements from talent leveling.

Flippendo

Flippendo is on the list, albeit in last place, because it is a good way to control the enemy. It looks especially useful in the context of a battle, when the enemy does not need to be thrown back or pulled: just put into a long-term immobilization.

Incendio

Incendio is in the top for several reasons:

• The spell is actively used in solving riddles: light torches, destroy cobwebs, and so on.
• When the talent is leveled up, this spell becomes a great way to fight off the crowd of enemies surrounding the wizard.
• By itself, the spell hits pretty hard, but the downside is the short range.

Glacius

Glacius, like all spells of this type, perfectly controls enemies, allowing you to roll other skills or move away a short distance. In addition to good containment, the skill, if pumped, will deal damage to nearby targets.

Depulso

Depulso excels in various combinations based on control: Accio – Depulso, Levioso – Depulso, Descendo – Depulso. In addition, this spell is great for battles on high ground: one cast and the enemy flies down, dying. Therefore, it is in the top 10 best spells in Hogwarts Legacy.

Expelliarmus

Expelliarmus is an extremely powerful spell, as it literally takes the enemy out of combat for a while. In addition to the base damage and the ability to take away the weapon, the wizard can throw this weapon at the enemy, dealing massive damage. The improvement will allow you to apply a curse, because of which opponents will die even faster.

Confringo

Confringo is another fire spell. Of the advantages, it is worth highlighting a large distance of destruction, the ability to destroy objects to move further, as well as an improvement due to which a projectile, hitting a target, releases homing charges.

Imperio

Imperio makes the target a companion that fights for the wizard for a while. He takes less damage from his former associates, which makes him really useful: if not as an assistant, then as cannon fodder. In addition, such a companion cannot be targeted, eliminating the possibility of accidentally killing an ally. The spell occupies the top of the top due to the ability to equalize the chances in battle.

Crucio

Crucio takes second place due to his huge damage. The damage to the enemy does not pass immediately, but still, most likely, it will kill the target. The victim of Crucio gradually loses his health, tormented by pain, and cannot enter the battle any further. Thus the curse becomes both a control spell and a damage spell.

Avada Kedavra

Avada Kedavra is by far the most powerful spell in the game and takes first place. Despite the long cooldown, this curse is a universal way to deal with the enemy. Even if the opponent is stronger than the wizard by 15 levels, he will not be able to resist this spell. On the plus side is the fact that there will be no punishment for using Avada Kedavra.

The best spell combinations in Hogwarts Legacy

Flight control combination

One of the simplest and most effective and effective combinations is the combination of Might, Control and normal attacks spells. First, you use Levioso on the enemy so that he is in the air, then you cast Depulso. Due to the fact that the target is already in the air due to the first spell, it will fly much further.

When an enemy hits something and takes damage, use Descendo to complete the combo. In between casts, don’t forget to use your base spell.

Ice Cutting

Glacius must first be cast on the enemy to freeze and immobilize them. After that, any spell from the Damage section must be applied to the frozen target, Diffindo is best. This spell has the most damage on a single target.

In addition, enhanced versions of both of these enchantments are capable of hitting nearby enemies : Glacius fires projectiles and Diffindo cuts through. This combo will more than double your damage.

Max Melee Damage

This combo is good for fighting at close range, either by choice or by circumstance. First, Accio is cast on any target, when it is pulled, throw it on the ground with Descendo . After the enemy bounces off the ground, freeze them with Glacius and finally deal damage with Incendio .

This combination, among other things, is capable of dealing damage to a group of enemies if all skills are pumped in: Accio attracts several opponents, Descendo creates a shock wave, Glacius releases charges, and Incendio hits the area around.

Transformation Instant Kill

Transformation is good for mob combat as it neutralizes one opponent. However, if attacks the enemy barrel , it will “disenchant” and the enemy will fight again. If you use Depulso on a barrel, it will fly far away and you will no longer need to fight this enemy.

We hope this guide has helped you learn how to unlock all the spells in Hogwarts Legacy, as well as how to upgrade and use them.
