In games with RPG elements, gaining exp, leveling up, and spending points in ability and skill trees are on the agenda, and in this respect, Hogwarts Legacy is no different. Exploring Hogwarts and its surroundings will grant you new quests and collectibles to find.
Your level will not only influence the gear you can wear but, at a certain point in the game, it helps you unlock the Talents. You can spend your Talent Points on improving your combat skills and stealthiness and on the products of the Room of Requirement, and leveling up quickly can deliver huge benefits.
Revelio Pages
Collecting the Field Guide Pages is the easiest and most common way to gain exp throughout the world of Hogwarts Legacy. These pages can be discovered near points of interest, such as:
- Statues and Landmarks
- Iconic locations and chambers
- Classes
- Artifacts, Painting, and precious items
This discovery activity can be triggered by casting Revelio, a spell you learn in the very early stages of the game that highlights the interactive items available in the area surrounding the caster.
After a short jingle, a scroll will unravel, and you will be able to pick it up to gain experience points. This action will lead you to challenge completion, which will grant you fascinating rewards, intriguing lore pieces, and anecdotes you can check in the menu under the Collections heading.
The pages can be found not only within the walls of Hogwarts in the aforementioned ways but are also scattered all over the Highlands and around the notable locations and vendors at Hogsmeade.
Environmental Interactions
A fast way to obtain Field Guide pages and experience with low effort is to interact with some relevant elements within the walls of Hogwarts, namely:
- Statues with globes in front of which you must cast Levioso, a spell that you will be taught by Professor Hecat during the first lesson of Defence Against The Dark Arts.
- Dragon-shaped goblets on pedestals on which you must cast flame-generating spells, including Incendio, which you will be taught by Professor Hecat as well upon the completion of her first additional assignment.
- Flying Pages that roam around the corridors of Hogwarts and can be found scattered among the small villages and Hogsmeade that you can catch with Accio, a versatile interaction spell Professor Ronen will teach you during his Charm Class.
Ancient Magic Hotspots
Outside your beloved school of witchcraft and wizardry, you could treasure your link with the most ancient form of magic and see the hotspots pouring its energy.
You can find them on the world map, and upon interacting with the prompt, you will unlock a mini-puzzle that will require more advanced spells to be solved, but it will grant a significant amount of experience in no time. Completing challenges related to the Ancient Magic Hotspots will also grant you more Ancient Magic bar meters.
Merlin Trials
After getting acquainted with Nora Treadwell during the quest Trials of Merlin and defeating the Ashwinder Scouts, you will be introduced to Merlin Trials. To solve such puzzles, which require Mallowsweet Leaves to be unlocked in the first place, you will have to use your spells to solve environmental riddles ranging from gathering moths with Lumos to lighting torches with fire-generating spells, such as Confringo and Incendio.
Within a short time, you will reach the highest levels and unlock the talents that will give you the edge in the Hogwarts Legacy battlegrounds.
