As far as the Arithmancy puzzles. The single question mark is always even numbers, and the double question mark is always odd numbers.

[werty]

I don’t know if anyone has figured it out by now but if you use the transfiguration spell on an animagius that turned into a wolf it will transform them back into human instead of transforming them into a barrel or explosive barrel if you unlock the perk in the talent menu also you may get some funny reaction from the animagius you turned back

[pachicleto]

About the Arithmacy chests, I'd save them for around lvl 30+, because level progression is so much faster before, so loot will be replaced faster, and the importance of legendary gear isn't going to be relevant until you are higher level anyways. Considering they are guaranteed legendaries, it makes gearing up 2-3 times from levels 30-40 extremely easy, convenient and noticeable, for example. So I'd say just ignore them until higher levels.

[Treyman]

I was doing the merlin trial with the big stone ball that you have to roll and some of ranroks loyalists were around and I just used accio to pick up the stone ball and was dropping this stone ball on top of the goblins over and over again. I was just laughing the whole time, they really did a great job with this combat and how in-depth it goes

[GirlMusic]

Here’s a tip: Explore the vivariums that you unlock in the Room of Requirement. There’s 4. Forest, Coastal, Swamp & Grassland. Search the corners as there is little chests with locked cosmetics in for the Room of Requirement. Aside from buying them in Tomes & Scrolls in Hogsmeade, as well as completing all the bandit camps you can find in the Valley, this really is the best and safest way to get all the cosmetics for it.

The fact you can explore the vivariums as well as the map of the world just adds a little bit of extra replay value to the game if you miss them on your first play through. I mean I don’t know how you would because you unlock them through the main campaign. But you’ll probably miss exploring them thoroughly.

[daddydangerous]

You can also use Petrificus Totalus with Imperio.
1. Mind control a Troll with Imperio.
2. Watch it clobber those annoying goblins.
3. When all other enemies are dead, cast imperio again on it.
4. Walk near it and petrify it's ass constantly for hella damage. (Cause Avada Kadavra has a looong cool down).

[Evolution-ldhe]

Imperio is so underrated. Personally it’s one of my favorite unforgivable spell when you’re outnumbered and cornered. It forces one of your enemies to turn against each other and temporarily become an ally. You can use it on trolls, poachers, spiders, goblins etc. but it doesn’t work on Inferi. You either have to use incendio or confringo.

[EatinPaste]

I spent so many hours going out my goddamned my mind trying to get the loot bag when you first go into the RoR and then got the biggest I'm so stupid aren't I?"_ moment of my life when I realised I could accio it. Super love the amount of things the game doesn't necessarily directly tell you and you have to figure it out.

[Trevorjm]

The Merlin's Trials with the cubes stumped me for a while. I finally had to look it up and felt very dump for not even trying that particular spell. Genius on Avalanche's part.

[thants]

Very important progression tip: you can manually save before opening the bandit camp treasure chest, reloading after looting to reroll what drops, so as long as your patience holds out you can hand pick exactly what Traits you intend to use out the gate. Bonus points if you look up where to grab the Kneazle cats to grab for your Vivarium as their fur is needed for I think all the T3 Traits.

Additionally, if you want to keep the game challenging I recommending not straying off the beaten path much, specifically you'll want to keep your level relatively equivalent to the recommended level for your primary quest as you go along and don't get caught up grinding challenges, otherwise you'll quickly wind up in a full set of over-leveled Legendary gear and just one-shot everything your character is scared/nervous about in cinematics, really screwing up the immersion.

[Psalm]

This is the only game I have found myself trying to figure something out instead of instantly looking it up 😂

[timhusson]

Excellent video Retro but not sure I like the thumbnail change, too similar to Andy reloads! Just my two cents, thank you again!

[Joe_Potts]

The hardest merlin trial i've come across so far (aside from the one with the blocks shown in the vid) was one where I had to jump on multiple pillars. I kept falling off when jumping so I used the aim button to align my character toward the center of the next pillar and i didnt fall off again. took like 10 min to figure this out tho lol

[jeffreywhite]

If you save before you open the chest in the bandit camp you can reload if you don't get what you like or need and because it's randomized you can use that to farm traits you want

[Christian-pxjw]

I disagree with you on one thing, combat in this game is both easy to understand and easy to master, but that's more a positive than a negative in my eyes. Not all combat has to have a massively high Devil May Cry-esque skill ceiling to be satisfying. This combat achieves exactly what it should achieve while remaining fun, it makes you feel like a cool wizard.

[MeepSpelar]

As your title says, I really wish I had known about this sooner! Your video was incredibly helpful in clarifying this topic for me, and I appreciate how well you were able to convey your message. Your presentation style was engaging and informative, and I found myself completely absorbed in the content. Thanks so much for creating such a helpful and well delivered video!

[Nelsifer]

I think the petrificus totalus ability in stealth can be used in open combat. I think you’ll need a build set for it — gear, talents, etc

[mrow]

The stone Merlin trial you showed, easy solution is to flip (flippendo) on side until you match up the same symbol, once that happens go to a side to the right or left and start flipping and it should finish the trial. If you don't find the symbol on the first go around go to the right and flip once and go back and start flipping.
The big bolder one, you can use accio or depulso but the easiest is Wingardium Leviosa, you can just pickup the bolder and move it.
The jumping trial, just take out your broom and fly to one stone to another, you don't have to land just your feet touch the top. Check first for any objects on top of the stones and blast them out of the way.

[topclips]

I popped an enduras potion to survive, dropped a couple of Chinese Chomping Cabbages and hopped on my broom to fly away to the edge of the battle area to be safe as the plants just made short work of the enemies. The depth of what you can do with combat if you have the skill to pull it off is insane. - Doc

I'm loving the game so far, but for me the game is a lot more fun without the mini map on, it's forces me to explore and discover stuff on my own.
