"Are you gonna be a good Gryffindor or a bad Slytherin" -- Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws rolling their eyes 🙄

When I first played, I simply left the castle to look for the balloons for Professor Kagawa because I thought the Quidditch Captain set you got from it looked cool. That was until I stumbled across my first bandit camp where I got satisfaction of playing around and coming up with spell combos then looked over at the next map icon and said "Hey, what's that over there?". I was completely lost in the valley almost as if I was living in the wilderness clearing out bandit camps, goblin outposts, messed around with the Merlin trails, landing pads, etc. So returning to the castle for Assignments felt weird as if I was back with society I guess lol.

Yeah I’m definitely the type of gamer that doesn’t take the linear path until I’ve explored everything around it first lol. Perfect example is Dead Space. I would click R3 to see where I was supposed to go…and explore the complete opposite direction first 😎

I love how most of the side missions provided in this game actually benefit progression of the main path.

Hated the gear cap at 20 items until I found out I can keep wearing best gear but with the appearance of a lower level item. Which is awesome.

I plan on becoming the ultimate courageous and friendly Slytherin 🐍

For anyone on Xbox that has a pre order down for the game, simply change your time zone to New Zealand. And you’ll be able to play it right now

I'm one of those people who really explore every nook and cranny of any new area I visit .Someone who will go on the opposite direction just to see if there's something there. I love it when I can discover new pathways or hidden chests along the way.
PS: THANK YOU for this beginner's guide. Always helpful and informative.

I’ve never played a video game before and I’m so excited! Preordered Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox One and it finally comes out tonight at midnight - in 13 mins! I have no idea what to expect or how to play but really excited to figure it out and explore the world. Thank you for this helpful tutorial!

I explored and looted a lot in the beginning after doing the main quests up through learning the disillusionment charm. Anytime I did a quest, I would go to Hogsmeade to sell gear, so I could have open space for more. I did Merlin trials until I got to 32 on my gear slots.

I like to explore and complete side missions as well as main missions. I try and find all the collectibles before finishing the main story.

Quality content from Arekkz Gaming, as usual.

[dorrean]

I enjoy the game. I don't blow through it like several people too. I don't need to whine about there's no content anymore. Just play the game. It's always fun. Taking your time

Great vid. Was easy follow and understand, and wasnt overwhelming with 100 things, that I needed know. Will definitely be passing this video, on to my friends playing Hogwarts

I am absolutely an explorer and have to check every little thing. Having played a lot of classic final fantasy, I have two ingrained rules: There's always a chest/secret I haven't found yet; and, you can never hoard enough materials. I recently finished FFXVI and really enjoyed it, but frankly, Hogwart's Legacy feels like the Final Fantasy RPG I really wanted, with all the crafting, secrets, collectables, side content, and still has that action combat I started to really like. Glad I picked it up! (Only about 4 hours in and I haven't even finished up my first visit to Hogsmeade)

Thank you, this was very helpful ! I was quite frustrated about Protego, for I didn’t realize that there were two colours for the symbol ! I’m colourblind so I often miss that kind of details if it’s not clearly told by the game. I thought I was just doing it wrong. Same for when the opponents are in bubbles, I have a hard time identifying what spell I can use to break them because of colour. And yes, I saw the colourblind adjustment in the settings, and I activated it (I know my colourblind type and was so excited to see that they made it possible to adjust for the three colourblindness types), but still it’s not sufficient. I have difficulty to know it a teleportation flame is activated or not, this kind of colour stuff. But now I know for Protego, and that will help for sure !

Loving this game! Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I do. After Avatar Generations shut down, I decided to switch to this and I'm glad I did.

On my first playthrough, I like to explore and find all I can. The inventory is a pain, but currently completing the Merlin tasks to help with that.

[echosierra]

I’m definitely the “explore every nook and cranny of the world/map” kind of player, mainly because I end up finding lots of cool gear and Easter eggs that way.

[CornballLyric]

Fantastic starter guide. Very well rounded out and very much appreciated 👏.

My playing style is laid back so I spend as much time as possible after battles looking for loot, ingredients for potions, nearby animals etc and then if there any puzzles nearby I do them as well because it is well known that the combat areas do respawn so unless you want to fight the baddies a second time, my suggestion is to sweep the are while it is free of them so you don't have to come back to that area.
