The game begins with Professor Eleazar Fig collecting the player from London. The cinematic breaks into an opening sequence that introduces and interacts with the game world, movement, controls, and tool use. You also sample combat. Once you are sorted into your house, the game truly begins.
The first block of quests introduces the player to the Hogwarts Legacy world and the through-line story. The first day comprises your beginning of life at Hogwarts. The world is not yet opened, and time does not pass at what will be a regular pace. The first set of significant spells is unlocked. This provides an opportunity to quickly unlock a considerable set of experience-related rewards in your field guide. Beyond experience rewards, a substantial focus should include discovering floo network endpoints. Even with loading time, this is the fastest means to get around in the game and will also be useful for resource collection and unloading.
Defense Against the Dark Arts Class
After the world is opened beyond the first day, several quests become available in various towns. Some require skills that have yet to be acquired. Others could be more than the player can handle without buffs or abilities.
After the return from Hogsmeade, time will continue at a regular pace. You must deal with day and night cycles and only be able to do some things during these times or use the map’s time-passing mechanic. You also have access to the whole of the world. However, you can only walk or use any floo you have discovered in your travels.
