There is one on the bridges, near the part the hufflepuff commen rooms comes out of the ground it was I think You have to light some braziers I think and then you had 4 dails on the railing of the bridge that you had to dail the right number, the combination is on the ground nearby. Was the first hogwarts secret challenge I found. Not a HP easter egg, but there is a centaur armor, its a nod towards oblivion (horse armor dlc) and skyrim (arrow to the knee) Found the niffler easter egg as well (was also in the tuturial near where you have the first ancient magic portal, I was wondering what it was refferencing, thnx.
You should go back to that secret room hidden within the tapestry, and use the Lumos spell standing up close to the tapestries in the final room with the werewolf statue
One more thing about the Weasley family is Leander Prewett. Before marrying Arthur Weasly, Molly was a Prewett, she had two brothers, Fabian and Gideon Prewett. So both sides of the Weasley Family in Harry Potters time are represented in the game
@@meganwatson2923 Molly's brothers. In the books, specifically Order of the Phoenix, when Mad-Eye shows Harry the picture of the original Order of the Phoenix, he points out Fabian and Gideon Prewett, telling Harry that they were killed by Voldemort and his death eaters and that they died like heroes. Pottermore, back before its rebranding, went into more detail about them being Molly's brothers. So, before Molly married Arthur Weasly and they had all the Weasley children we all know and love from the movies and books, she was Molly Prewett.
I laughed too. I didn’t mind the humming though. I just laughed every time you went by and he was humming. I guess it would get annoying if you had to hear that all the time.😂
The amount of details the devs have put into this game is mind-boggling. I don't know how anyone has even finished this game yet, let alone finding all of these easter eggs and such. I had early access to this and hit it pretty hard this weekend and I haven't even scratched the surface of the amount of content this game has to offer. Great video!
Well, some people prefer just doing the story, and others prefer exploring first story second. The game has a sliding level scale(each region goes from a set minimum to a set maximum but parallel to your level) so whichever way you do it its fine.
@@sanguinetales Oh I know what you mean. No doubt many of the reviews b-lined the main quest, but even that I understand as being quite long. Admittedly, I'm quite ADD when it comes to games like this. I'll sit down with one goal for the evening and before I know it, 4-5 hours are gone and all I've done is pet cats, gathered resources, and ended up in places I REALLY shouldn't be. I know I'm certainly going to get my $ out of this one.
@@asraiSOA i've almost 100% it right now, have to get 20 more guide pages in Hogwarts then I'm done. That is to say, done with this character, and will be making another :P
Same, I’m in the discord for it and there’s a common room for Gryffindor and so many people were complaining how they already need an expansion pack or a sequel because of what a let down the game is. I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to cry because I thought the game was so beautifully done. Some people are just never happy no matter how much you give them.😅
Personally I’ve done both and 100 percented everything apart from chests wich I have one to find wich I believe is a butterfly location took me around 4/5 days you find doing quests will make you explore anyway and just be curious and search on the trail game is amazing tho second run as a gryfindor now
In the forbidden forest you can find the pond where Harry saved himself and Sirius from the dementors. As you approach it a group of stags walks by and your character will point them out.
Another possible nod to Sirius Black is during the Astronomy class quest when you can hear one student saying "I can't find the Sirius constellation. Isn't it a dog?" Possibly referencing how Sirius' animagis form was a Grim, or a very large black dog.
@@venator1994 @Hunter for sure the mention of Sirius is a nod to the character, I didn't say it wasn't, but the phrase "isn't it a dog" isn't a reference to his animagus form it's simply just the shape of the real constellation.
There's another easter egg I think a lot of people missed. You see, there's a student in the courtyard dressed differently who keeps training with a broom. Well, the thing is, this random npc actually does have a name : Hector Fawley. For those who don't know who he is, it's the british minister of magic during the fantastic beast movies. (if you have trouble getting this npc to talk, try getting on your broom next to him. He will react and you will see his name.)
The groundskeeper hut has a page that states the tools can make furnishings for a hut, no matter how large..... this of course being the future home for Hagrid. Also if you come across a travelling musician, Ernie Lark, everytime you give him coin when you see him next, he will have a new instrument and the crowds will get bigger and say how great he is, instead of the bad stuff they say.
Another nod to the weasleys is one of the unlockable appearance transmogs is identical to Ron's formal wear for the Yule ball in Goblet of Fire. They even dubbed it "fashionable dress robes". Now you too can look AND smell like your great aunt Tessie too!
Professor Weasley’s office (just off the Transfiguration Classroom) is filled with chess pieces of different sizes that exactly match the design of the set in the first film. Would be so cool if those pieces were designed by her, used by the future deputy/transfig professor to protect the stone, and beaten by her descendant.
As a big HP fan that grew up reading the books as they came out, this game was my younger self's dream come to life. Being able to traverse the entire Hogwarts castle and uncover easter egg after easter egg...it's magnificent. I've spent nearly 80 hours on the game and plan to play until I reach level 40 and complete all Challenges
12:46 another really cool detail you find when entering the "K" in the tapestry - in the second room (the one with the chest right next to the door), the tapestries on the wall (they are highlighted as magical or interactable upon using Revelio) tell the tragic tale of a fair maiden whom befell an ill-fated tragedy... turn your magical flashlight on and off while standing in front of each of the images to see them change and tell a different angle of the story (go from left to right, then, with the changed tapestries, back from right to left - at least that's what I did) Just so cool to find these semi-well hidden little things in the game, where the devs reward you for paying attention to the details ;)
Whilst doing the prologue, when you come to the part when you examine the mural and statue, there is a tree to the right of the stairs. If you walk past the tree there is a chest and also a Niffler and a Bowtruckle enjoying a Butterbeer and Honeydukes sweets while looking out over the sea.
I just realized Prof. Fig great great granddaughter is the squib who Dumbledore sent to watched over Harry. She was the one who was Dumbledore’s witness when Harry is being investigated for using magic in front of his step brother.
You mentioned Luna, You know it brings up an interesting idea, Thanks to this game what are the odds that Luna is able to see ancient magic like our character and passes it off as the creatures her dad writes about because no-one remembers any of the magic or references to it anymore
I used Glacius in the clock tower pendulum puzzle and then used Confringo to warm it back up to beat the puzzle! Love that there’s often multiple ways of doing things🙃
Yeah, Glacius + Confringo works SO much better than Arresto Momentum, especially for that one door that you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to.
Pro Tip: the clock tower doors can also be unlocked by using Glacius on the mechanism, which freezes the entire thing allowing you to go through the doors and get progress on the Hogwarts secrets.
I haven't seen anyone mention this. I think the Mirror of Erisad is one of the Ancient Magic portals. The first portal you use in the game works like a mirror, but with a different room in the reflection. Also, the ornate appearance of the portal doors are very similar to the Mirror.
There's some really obscure references from the books hidden in this game too. I think it's in the defence against the dark arts tower where you can find a portrait of what has to be wendolyn the weird. She's mentioned in the very start of the prisoner of azkaban and she doesn't have a field guide page or anything to point it out.
@AndyReloads the pendulum freeze thing is part of the Hogwarts Secrets (there are four rooms with treasure in them, you have to freeze the pendulum at the correct symbols to unlock each), which will give you a nice reward once all for rooms have been unlocked (took me about an hour to find all rooms, as i missed the ground floor room).
the niffler and bowtruckle (I thought it was meant to be a mandrake) having a teaparty can also be found right at the start of the game, just as you cross the bridge to the Ruins, on the left behind a tree :)
I’d absolutely love a DLC that would take place with our Phoenix companion, give us a spell that resembles that Dumbledore scene, give us an aoe ancient magic ability to nod to Dumbledore it would be so cool to know Dumbledore could utilize ancient magic 😁
6:25 not only there. These puppets are also right at the beginning of the game after you travel via portley. They sit on the right side of the cliff, were you can find the statue of Prof. Rackham. (There is also a chest with galleons beside them)
6:16 Newt's niffler Alfred can be found in several places. I found one on my first playthrough following Prof. Fig in the intro. When you cross the "repaired" bridge on the right side looking off the cliff they are eating candy and watching the sunset.
6:15 The same dolls can be found outside the Ruins in Scotland with Fig. After Fig repairs the bridge, instead of crossing the threshold to the doorway, walk to the right along the cliff's edge.
They even added non trivial stuff like Harry going into the room next to the great hall after his name came out of the goblet of fire. The room looks exactly like the one described in the books
Great video, thank you (: Also FYI @12:26 there's also a similar spot behind the fireplace in the library.. So now I'm wondering if there might be even more of those
I discovered the fireplace in the library way earlier than unlocking Glacius. I kept wondering why revelio is showing a chest INSIDE a fireplace?! After trying all of my available spells at the time, i just left it. Finally now i know what to do , now that i have glacius 😂
Hermione turning into a cat with the polyjuice made me get a question wrong on the quiz from the girl when you need the advanced transfiguration book 😅
@12:03 I have found 3 doors you unlock by halting the pendulum. Just halt the pendulum on the symbol that's on the door. They are all nearby the one you show. One is between floors in one of the stairwells
There are 4 doors and it is part of the '3 secrets' of the school. You need alohomora to access 3 of them, though the fourth is in the Crossed Wands arena at the bottom.
I think Ominis can't be Tom Riddle's direct ancestor, since the game happens just 36 years before Vodemort's birth. But, I remember that, after finishing the Scriptorium quest, he says that his older siblings used to perform dark magic on innocent people, such as muggles... So, Ominis may be brother to Marvolo Gaunt, or his nephew perhaps, meaning that Noctua Gaunt (also part of the game) is Marvolo's sister. However, I loved the fact they introduced 2 descendants of Salazar Slytherin that aren't related to Dark Arts
6:22 The niffler tea party is also placed on the mountain at the start of the game. If you walk back out of the castle ruins towards the bridge and turn left right after the gates they're positioned on the cliff overlooking the sea and the bridge. You can't interact with it though.
Also, another nod to the Black family is with the mazes. I’ve loved that extra bit and the story going along with it. Haven’t found them all yet but I’m loving the game so I’ll definitely keep looking. Lol
You can find the Quill of Acceptance and Book of Admittance by finding the key in Professor Black's office and then opening the locked door at the end of the hallway leading up to his office. My favorite room in the castle!
😂 you can land up there from the outside aswell I unlocked it all before the mission you just can’t pick a note up in the room and also you need alohamora unlocks
Just inside the Defence of Dark Arts Tower from the door to the Transfiguration Courtyard, there's a big painting of what looks to be the second Peverell Brother using the Resurrection stone to bring back a girl (his deceased girlfriend) while Death watches.
The easter eggs were so clever in game! Just a little thing, though, your second one with the Vera Verto spell was from COS, hence he messed the spell up with his broken wand. :)
There is actually an easter egg in one of the first sequences of the game. In the part where you and prof. Fig are heading over that huge bridge to that castle at the cliffs. If you go to the right after crossing the bridge you will find a toy Niffler sitting next to something like a miniature sand castle... 👀
that k room tapestry takes you to a room that shows werewolfs. Its a easter egg for professor lupin. it shows a statue of the werewolf form and all. its pretty cool. it even has the page that hermione shows when learning about were wolves
Hi Andy, you suggest at 9:58 the possibility of "Future Game Instalments". Are you aware that this might in fact be a possibility? For one, I'd be really pleased if there were. The main "known" one being opening the shop in Hogsmeade, available to those with Playstation but currently not players like me, on PC. We have to wait something like a year to be able to play "Minding Your Own Business". Thanks also for the extra tricks n tips. I hadn't thought how to slow time to get into those Clock Tower rooms and the fireplace room in the Faculty Tower flew right over my head, so thanks for that. Great video as always. Thanks a lot.
I found an Easter egg. On the lower level of the clock tower, there is a locked room that References the Battle scene from the deadly hallows part 2 when the dark wizards were attacking hogwarts
If you keep attacking the mirror looking into the lake where you meet Ominus for the first time, the giant squid will slap one of its tentacles from the other side
There us another Sirius Easter egg where you go to the headmaster living quarters and on a nightstand you'll find a letter to Headmaster black where it mentions 2 names. One being Sirius, whom of course is a different Sirius, but it's a nice nod to Sirius in the harry potter time era.
12:01 If you do this (or an easier process, using Glacius + Confringo instead of Arresto Momentum; AM doesn't last long enough for a couple of the doors) on all of the symbols along the pendulum's path, each symbol opens a different door on a different level of the clocktower. If you loot all of the rooms in the clocktower that this process opens, you will complete/unlock one of the Hogwarts Secrets, with each of the 3 secrets giving you a cosmetic appearance reward.
Thank you so much for this video! The information you shared was incredibly helpful to me, and I appreciate how well you were able to communicate it. Your presentation style is so engaging and easy to follow. I found myself completely absorbed in the content from start to finish. Thanks again for all your hard work in creating such high quality content!
Not exactly an Easter egg I’d say, but I’m sure we’ve kinda all noticed that nearly all the Professors in game are basically the ones we find in Harry’s time. Professor Weasley is McGonagall, Sharp is Snape, Ronen is Flitwick, Kagowa is a lot like Madam Hooch with how pressed about safety she is, etc. But one thing someone pointed out to me is that Professor Sharp’s limp might kinda be a further reference to Snape, specifically when he got hit by Fluffy and was limping for a while. He also teaches us Diffindo, which is quite similar to Snape’s signature spell Sectumsempra.
Wait, you mean the transfiguration teacher teaches transfiguration, the potions teacher teaches potions, and the charms teacher teaches charms? Shocker. They’re all unique characters. Sharp isn’t even like Snape at all. Snape was absurdly angry with every student besides Sly-Guys, Sharp is just a fairly grumbly character. As for the limp, that’s a hell of a stretch to claim as a potential Easter egg. Dude has a limp, it’s not like he wanders around saying “Oh damn that dog! I would be walking just fine if it weren’t for that fluffy beast.”
At 10:25 you are alittle wrong. It was only in the movies where Sirus was help in a cell. In the books he was in Flitwick's office and they flew up to the window on Buckbeak.
i rarely subscribe to people but you don't drone on about irrelevant things, your videos are straight to the point. I looked up one of your Hogwarts Legacy videos and it helped me out. Thank You!
You also can see the niffler and pickett in the beginning of the game. When you are using portals. Just before the ruin with the statue on the right side.
In the slytherin common room I noticed if you go up to the window out looking the lake and cast lumos the fish are attracted to the light and when you turn it off they get bored and swim away
Keep up the good and hard work Andy 🤙🏼 but on a side not the fact a console has exclusively has a whole are is wrong. I wonder if that's only locked for a year like sony 🤔
I found one really erlie on when you find the hole in the wall the black thing, before that after he reconstructs the bridge, on the right side there is another reference to niffler!
Great vid, I am loving this game. So clever and the small things just make me smile, the ghosts, the knights in armour which I’m sure is a Monty python gag, and the paintings also, just so much detail. Great job theese devs have done.
Hey man, thank you for this awesome video! As I am an avid explorer of the castle, I am yet to find all references/Easter eggs/nods to etc. This definitely helps and makes the game just that much better as a whole. I really enjoyed this video! Thanks again!!
After getting lvl3 alohomora and getting to the headmaster office you can open a door to Black's private bedroom. There is a letter from his wife talking about their kids - Belvina, Fineas, Cignus and Sirius. I don't know if this is THAT Sirius, but it would look like headmaster form Hogwart's Legacy is Sirius Black's father
They have 3 generations between them. Phineas is a grandparent of Sirius Grandfather (from his mother side). Same as saying: if you start the generations at Phineas (gen1) sirius is gen5

One more thing about the Weasley family is Leander Prewett. Before marrying Arthur Weasly, Molly was a Prewett, she had two brothers, Fabian and Gideon Prewett. So both sides of the Weasley Family in Harry Potters time are represented in the game

@@kasper_429 same here
I just realized...Did Ron struggle to transform his rat into a cup because his rat was already a person transformed into a rat?!
If it was intentional then thats some god tier foreshadowing right there
I think it was also the reason his rat did not turn yellow on the train when he first met Potter.
Makes sense
I've heard that this is true but who really knows. It definitely would make sense though
There is a girl in library upper floor, who will give you a quiz on these easter eggs

You also forgot the moon lit lake we’re Harry summoned his full patronus to save himself and Sirius. It’s surrounded by a bunch of Stags and Does :)

@12:03 I have found 3 doors you unlock by halting the pendulum. Just halt the pendulum on the symbol that's on the door. They are all nearby the one you show. One is between floors in one of the stairwells
There are 4 doors and it is part of the '3 secrets' of the school. You need alohomora to access 3 of them, though the fourth is in the Crossed Wands arena at the bottom.
I think Ominis can't be Tom Riddle's direct ancestor, since the game happens just 36 years before Vodemort's birth. But, I remember that, after finishing the Scriptorium quest, he says that his older siblings used to perform dark magic on innocent people, such as muggles... So, Ominis may be brother to Marvolo Gaunt, or his nephew perhaps, meaning that Noctua Gaunt (also part of the game) is Marvolo's sister. However, I loved the fact they introduced 2 descendants of Salazar Slytherin that aren't related to Dark Arts
6:22
The niffler tea party is also placed on the mountain at the start of the game. If you walk back out of the castle ruins towards the bridge and turn left right after the gates they're positioned on the cliff overlooking the sea and the bridge. You can't interact with it though.
Also, another nod to the Black family is with the mazes. I’ve loved that extra bit and the story going along with it. Haven’t found them all yet but I’m loving the game so I’ll definitely keep looking. Lol
The attention to detail in this game is mind boggling. Thanks for the video!
You can find the Quill of Acceptance and Book of Admittance by finding the key in Professor Black's office and then opening the locked door at the end of the hallway leading up to his office. My favorite room in the castle!
😂 you can land up there from the outside aswell I unlocked it all before the mission you just can’t pick a note up in the room and also you need alohamora unlocks
The sound of this pear in the kitchen is so funny😂 btw thanks for your video, keep it up! ❤
The clock secret also works with the freezing spell. I think it even lasts until you unfreeze it with one of the fire spells
Just inside the Defence of Dark Arts Tower from the door to the Transfiguration Courtyard, there's a big painting of what looks to be the second Peverell Brother using the Resurrection stone to bring back a girl (his deceased girlfriend) while Death watches.
The easter eggs were so clever in game! Just a little thing, though, your second one with the Vera Verto spell was from COS, hence he messed the spell up with his broken wand. :)
There is actually an easter egg in one of the first sequences of the game. In the part where you and prof. Fig are heading over that huge bridge to that castle at the cliffs. If you go to the right after crossing the bridge you will find a toy Niffler sitting next to something like a miniature sand castle... 👀
I knew all of the secret passages in the last chapter of this video except for the fireplace one at 12:30. That's awesome!
There is also a secret fireplace room in the library. so many secrets everywhere, its amazing
that k room tapestry takes you to a room that shows werewolfs. Its a easter egg for professor lupin. it shows a statue of the werewolf form and all. its pretty cool. it even has the page that hermione shows when learning about were wolves
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You helped me with three different places I was going crazy trying to find!
Hi Andy, you suggest at 9:58 the possibility of "Future Game Instalments". Are you aware that this might in fact be a possibility? For one, I'd be really pleased if there were. The main "known" one being opening the shop in Hogsmeade, available to those with Playstation but currently not players like me, on PC. We have to wait something like a year to be able to play "Minding Your Own Business". Thanks also for the extra tricks n tips. I hadn't thought how to slow time to get into those Clock Tower rooms and the fireplace room in the Faculty Tower flew right over my head, so thanks for that. Great video as always. Thanks a lot.
This is so interesting thanks! Never would've noticed all of these without this video :)
I found an Easter egg. On the lower level of the clock tower, there is a locked room that References the Battle scene from the deadly hallows part 2 when the dark wizards were attacking hogwarts
You can also get Ron’s dress robes by finding all 3 secrets in hogwarts
What a truly wonderful video, thank you Andy, keep up the great work!
Oh that's great to hear Tim, really makes it worthwhile reading comments like yours, really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know mate!
@@AndyReloads my pleasure Andy, it's easy to say with such great content, thank you!
@@AndyReloads you should make a spell diamond video showing how you have your spells set up and your favorite combos.
12:30 there’s also a fireplace in the library you can use glacius on to get behind
If you keep attacking the mirror looking into the lake where you meet Ominus for the first time, the giant squid will slap one of its tentacles from the other side
There us another Sirius Easter egg where you go to the headmaster living quarters and on a nightstand you'll find a letter to Headmaster black where it mentions 2 names. One being Sirius, whom of course is a different Sirius, but it's a nice nod to Sirius in the harry potter time era.
These are soooo good. Missed a ton of these so thank you for sharing!
12:01 If you do this (or an easier process, using Glacius + Confringo instead of Arresto Momentum; AM doesn't last long enough for a couple of the doors) on all of the symbols along the pendulum's path, each symbol opens a different door on a different level of the clocktower. If you loot all of the rooms in the clocktower that this process opens, you will complete/unlock one of the Hogwarts Secrets, with each of the 3 secrets giving you a cosmetic appearance reward.
#teamearly - Oh man I didn't even know the secrets at the end! Glacius Charm also works on the fire in the Library too!
Great shout mate!!!
Thank you so much for this video! The information you shared was incredibly helpful to me, and I appreciate how well you were able to communicate it. Your presentation style is so engaging and easy to follow. I found myself completely absorbed in the content from start to finish. Thanks again for all your hard work in creating such high quality content!
the last episode - Glacious skill on fireplace - omg thank you so much! I ran around all stairs above and beyond..... finally!
the 'mandrake tea party happens' in a few places.
There is one about 2 mins into the game.
4:22 voldemort was born in 1926, Marvolo Gaunt is definitely older than Ominis as the game is set in the late 1800s
I was wondering about the stuffed toys having tea. Thanks for answering that!
Not exactly an Easter egg I’d say, but I’m sure we’ve kinda all noticed that nearly all the Professors in game are basically the ones we find in Harry’s time. Professor Weasley is McGonagall, Sharp is Snape, Ronen is Flitwick, Kagowa is a lot like Madam Hooch with how pressed about safety she is, etc. But one thing someone pointed out to me is that Professor Sharp’s limp might kinda be a further reference to Snape, specifically when he got hit by Fluffy and was limping for a while. He also teaches us Diffindo, which is quite similar to Snape’s signature spell Sectumsempra.
Wait, you mean the transfiguration teacher teaches transfiguration, the potions teacher teaches potions, and the charms teacher teaches charms? Shocker.
They’re all unique characters. Sharp isn’t even like Snape at all. Snape was absurdly angry with every student besides Sly-Guys, Sharp is just a fairly grumbly character.
As for the limp, that’s a hell of a stretch to claim as a potential Easter egg. Dude has a limp, it’s not like he wanders around saying “Oh damn that dog! I would be walking just fine if it weren’t for that fluffy beast.”
Great stuff guys - looks good fun! "Tickle the pear" you say??!!! 😃
i had no idea about the last two! thank you so much
I love this game, is absolutely amazing and full of love and nostalgia
Well done, i love Hogwarts Legacy
At 10:25 you are alittle wrong. It was only in the movies where Sirus was help in a cell. In the books he was in Flitwick's office and they flew up to the window on Buckbeak.
So many RUclipsrs posting on this game but I keep finding myself at your channel.
i rarely subscribe to people but you don't drone on about irrelevant things, your videos are straight to the point. I looked up one of your Hogwarts Legacy videos and it helped me out. Thank You!
You also can see the niffler and pickett in the beginning of the game. When you are using portals. Just before the ruin with the statue on the right side.
I love how they added the stairs in the common rooms when a wizard tries to go into the witches rooms it turns into a slide lol
Oh yeah I noticed that day 1 when I was just exploring lol
This is so cool! I missed so many of these, thanks so much Andy
12:38 theres a chest behind that knights armor and I have no clue how to get to it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated
This is amazing. They put so much effort and detail into this game
You can use the glacius spell to do the clock tower pendulum puzzle as well, so accessible early game
In the slytherin common room I noticed if you go up to the window out looking the lake and cast lumos the fish are attracted to the light and when you turn it off they get bored and swim away
Great job boss, bomb video
I've been around the castle for a long time and still don't recognize most of the areas in this video. It's so damn huge and epic
There’s another fireplace in the library where you can go through as well with glacias.
So many harry potter easter eggs in a harry potter game🤯
Great Video! I found the polyjuice potion one by mistake
Keep up the good and hard work Andy 🤙🏼 but on a side not the fact a console has exclusively has a whole are is wrong. I wonder if that's only locked for a year like sony 🤔
What robe are you wearing at 6:05?
You can also use Glacius on the clock tower pendulum, that way you can cast a fire spell to access the next one when you are ready.
I found one really erlie on when you find the hole in the wall the black thing, before that after he reconstructs the bridge, on the right side there is another reference to niffler!
#teamearly . This game surprises me everyday with exploration and i barely scartched the surface with main story
I know mate & I hope you're enjoying it so far!
There is a Phoenix painting on the wall where should be a statue with the entrance to the Dumbledoor's office.
12:07 you can also use Glacius, and Confringo to release it
Another great and useful video. TU!
The scale of detail I this is insane! I absolutely love it.
The doll and niffler are also on the side of the tower near the beginning when you and Professor Fig use the Portkey.
Do u play on pc and if yes , what GC do u have that the quality look so good . I have a rtx 3060 and the game doesnt look so amazing on my pc
Great vid, I am loving this game. So clever and the small things just make me smile, the ghosts, the knights in armour which I’m sure is a Monty python gag, and the paintings also, just so much detail. Great job theese devs have done.
Hey man, thank you for this awesome video!
As I am an avid explorer of the castle, I am yet to find all references/Easter eggs/nods to etc.
This definitely helps and makes the game just that much better as a whole.
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks again!!
Nice video keep up the goid work
After getting lvl3 alohomora and getting to the headmaster office you can open a door to Black's private bedroom. There is a letter from his wife talking about their kids - Belvina, Fineas, Cignus and Sirius. I don't know if this is THAT Sirius, but it would look like headmaster form Hogwart's Legacy is Sirius Black's father
They have 3 generations between them. Phineas is a grandparent of Sirius Grandfather (from his mother side). Same as saying: if you start the generations at Phineas (gen1) sirius is gen5
I kinda broke the wizards chess bit in the haunted shop. I just sprinted past instantly and won lol
Once they said a phoenix was missing I already guessed 😅
