@@soham4741 the fact that you can enter without a riddle isn't canonical, I give you that. But the fact that IT IS A VISIBLE DOOR is canonical indeed. In the books, it is described as a wooden door with an eagle (could be another bird) and a huge doorknocker that asks you a question
Imagine being a ravenclaw and getting back home at 5 am after a butterbeer binge and a house elf orgy down at Hogsmeade, and being unable to get to your bed and sleep it off because the damn door keeps asking you hard riddles when you're so plastered you're barely managing to not piss yourself.
It would take a hilarious amount of butterbeer to get a human buzzed much less plastered drunk. It gets house elves drunk because they only weigh 40ish pounds.
You should really be able to get into the Griffindor common room if you manage to steal the password from elsewhere. It's been shown before that can work. Same with Ravenclaw - if you successfully answer the doors question it is supposed to open, regardless of student. It is supposed to be a conceit of the founding wizards that these were the best ways to have security. Griffindor - a secret word, and no one would give it willingly to another because that would make them a traitor, and Griffindor aren't traitors. Ravenclaw - I'll just make the entrance requirement hard so only people I identify as smart enough can pass. Hufflepuff was unique IIRC because anyone was welcome if they were trusted enough to know the trick. Slytherin is the only one that really recognises the value of decent security that works on something that isn't a personality trait.
@@Fra_axe That is true, but perhaps the founders never imagined the hat would allow people to make their own choices as well. After all, Harry "would do well in Slytherin" but he asks the hat to put him in Griffindor (or rather - 'anywhere but Slytherin'). It's perhaps a cop out explanation, and would require Pettigrew to have a level of autonomy to do that, which he certainly doesn't demonstrate. The character of Pettigrew is a follower, not a leader... With that in mind, and with the founders selection criteria, you would think him more likely to be a Hufflepuff. No offence to Hufflepuff either; I always thought that the situation was: Griffindor - bravery/daring Ravenclaw - intelligence/creativity Slytherin - cunning/resourceful/ambitious Hufflepuff - the rest...
@@romarudarkeyes Harry was a unique case, After the full story is revealed is it not a possibility the hat itself was also reading Voldemort's soul fragment. Hench why they hat says "It is all here in your head." the very place Harry's scar was. So Harry himself should have been Griffindor but if put into Slytherin it would have actually helped Voldemort's soul fragment to excel.
@@miniman649 Actually thinking about it - yeah, you are right. There's that one point in the books where they are cosplaying as Crabbe and Goyle and Malfoy shows them to the room and the password is 'Pure Blood'. Hmm... That knackers that idea. Though considering how late in the narrative the idea is that the Ravenclaw door asks questions rather than a password(last book IIRC), it could be that Rowling got the idea late on to have unique security for each house, but couldn't go back and change the earlier idea because it was in the second book.

Fun fact: If you know Alohomora II, you can enter Ravenclaw common room through the roof. I was messing around with free flying mod and landed on top of Ravenclaw Tower. I couldn't mount the broom again, so I unlocked the door and ended up in a Ravenclaw common room as a Slytherin
😊 you can do the same thing with Professor Dumbledore's office you have to fly up to his office Dismount from your broom and then use the alohomora spell to open the door to his office. But you will need a level 3 Alohomora from the professor outside of the hospital Wing corridor. Just outside the teachers corridor. you can unlock it once you get all three you can pretty much go to a lot of blocked or hidden places in the castle. The same goes for the locked Corridor at the top of the trophy room in the astronomy Tower. Which essentially leads to the upper floors of Professor Dumbledore's office, to unlock what is known as his main office you will need what is known as a "key of admittance"
All the other common rooms: “This entrance is enchanted, you’ll never get in!” Ravenclaw: “We don’t need to hide the entrance, your stupid ass ain’t figuring out this riddle.”

You should be able to find it out and enter. Then get questioned by the house students when inside. Ravenclaw through and through
Actually if the Developers were being true to the books, you should get chances to enter Ravenclaw Tower. The raven statue is only supposed to ask someone a question, if they get it right, then the door will open. It happens in the book, though they don't really answer if the raven asked the question because a Ravenclaw Student was there, or if it would have asked Harry if Luna hadn't accompanied him.
I like how the devs made it actually. The warm houses, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are aggressive while the cold houses, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, are passive.
See, that’s why I’ve always believed Slytherins are more intelligent than Ravenclaws. Slytherins are pragmatic while Ravenclaws are book smart. The Ravenclaw door is the perfect example since anyone can see how impractical and, quite frankly, stupid it actually is. First off, the fact that it only needs a correct answer means literally anyone can get in if they’re smart enough to solve the riddle. Second, it’s impractical and inconvenient. Imagine you’ve had a long day, your body hurts, your brain is fried, you have to pee, and suddenly your front door wants to play 20 questions. Ravenclaws value _knowledge,_ not intelligence. Intelligence is taking your knowledge and using it to practical effect.
Honestly anyone with the cape or disillusionment charm can overhear the password, and that doesn’t mean the griffindor student isn’t loyal or brave. It’s just something that could easily happen, password security system is flawed as demonstrated by fig
I always imagined the Ravenclaw door would choose its riddles depending on whom approaches. If it were a Ravenclaw student it would know to ask a riddle they would know the answer to. If they aren’t, it knows to ask a riddle that person would not know the answer to. That way it’s all just a facade. And, yes, it would know to recognize teachers and such with a solvable riddle for them.
I mean if it could just somehow magically detect which student is part of Ravenclaw, why would it need the riddle password system? The riddle isn't there just to be a fun little game for the students.
That’s kinda bullshit that you can’t go into the other common rooms. Harry went into the Slytherin common room in CoS and the Ravenclaw common room in deathly hallows part 2
well, you're not allowed to go into other common rooms. Harry and Ron were breaking all the rules to enter the Slytherin Common Room. And Ravenclaw - because there's a literal war and major battle going on, rules weren't important in that moment.
@@wariolandgoldpiramidall houses were to open as long as the password, riddle, or rythm was done correctly. this is still a school and wasnt meant to be suuuuper secretive. anyway, slytherins break rules, by nature lol
cant believe you get more interaction with the fat lady when you are not griffindor, if you are griffindor, the door just open automatically everytime without even saying a word
idk, at least in the movies, those bedrooms didn't seem that private. probably better to find the room of requirement for one night stands. "my need is great"
@@ZebulizationThe room of requirement is a barely known secret. Maybe one or two students out of several group years stumble upon the room and then include their closest friends in on the secrets before it goes back to being completely unknown for a few years. It is nowhere near well known enough to be used as a one night stand spot. That's what the unused classrooms and broom closets are for 😂
Except Broom closets. Which were apparently everywhere and necessitated staff patrols at night like dummies. Nah, wizards are just impotent or the witches are barren. Near zero people in Harry Potter had more than one child if that. One would expect a baby boom after Voldemort fell the first time but NOPE.
Don't worry in-story it only soaks a student when they fail to get the barrel rhythm right. It soaking you upon getting close at all is just the game being weird.
These house "Security measures" aren't really that tight, and they're not really meant to be. Technically, if students cooperate, anyone can enter into any house and professors can enter wherever they like despite being technical members of the houses. It's not the point to make the houses hidden bases that NO ONE can enter unless they're a member. You just need to put a lot of effort into it, if you want to break in. Some might say, way too much effort, since it's just a common room. That's like a human school using house-themed key cards. Of course you can cheat that system, but the point is it's harder than just waltzing in wherever you want, so at least people won't be doing it constantly
This game could of been so much more. Especially with the possibility to brew the polyjuice potion. Disguising yourself THEN going into other dorms. With a morality system getting caught USING the polyjuice potion. Polyjuice wears off after so long. Again a objective that'd be fun to try and work around. So many possible side quests that could have. Just adding a morality system should of been the first thing added to the game.
They also should have made brewing potions have a similar system to the one in "The Half-Blood Prince" game on PC, I really enjoyed that minigame. It would've felt nice actually brewing your own potions, and you could've simply sipped a bit of the potion once brewed to avoid wasting all of it and use it for small encounters. I feel they didn't go far enough in the roleplaying aspect.
Gryffindor: No password, no entry. Now scram. Hufflepuff: lol get sprayed with vinegar Slytherin: What common room? Nothing to see here. Ravenclaw: RIDDLE ME THIS, BATMA- oh, wrong franchise.
The Hufflepuff entrance looked like the business end of an armored Korean warship used during the Imjin War (1592) against the invading Japanese. Of course the Korean version shot out twin jets of jellied liquid fire up to 100 meters away and turned everything the beams touched to ashes, a real functional heat ray.
Random fun fact you need to 100% this game: If you go near the hufflepuff common room you will find a painting and if you walk up to it, you get the option to (and I quote) "Tickle the pear"
It could be accessed via mods, no-clip mode, but probably there isnt anything special in their common rooms, maybe you could talk to some students you usually couldnt, or collect some items too.
Or you could restart the game in a different house. We already knew, I think even before the release of the game, that each house comes with an exclusive mission, nothing else. The common rooms themselves are quite different in architecture and style but they don't have anything that would change the course of the game or the story.
@@AlejandroLZuvic interesting part would be if you enter other house via no-clip mode and try to insert like Raveclaw emblem into Griffindor house chest, but i think it wouldnt work, since quest is linked to your house chest
Common room entrance ranked worst to best: 1. Ravenclaw - Absolute dogshite. Not only does the door straight up give you clues to the password, but literally _anyone_ can figure it out if they’re smart enough. Not to mention the possibility of certain riddles having multiple answers. 2. Hufflepuff - Mediocre. The tapping rhythm and location is always the same, and after hundreds of years, everyone knows it. However, it’s also the only entrance with a defense mechanism to keep intruders out, so it offsets the “password” being public knowledge. 3. Gryffindor - Very good, hidden entrance with a constantly changing password and controlled by a sentient being. However, it does lose points since the Fat Lady openly announces that it’s an entrance. 4. Slytherin - Perfection. Like Gryffindor, it also uses a constantly changing password. But what makes it perfect is that the door literally does not exist until a Slytherin approaches, _then_ asks for a password. Even if an intruder knows the location and the password, they can’t enter because there is no door to enter through.
did some testing and it's to do with what you have your effects graphics setting set to, high and ultra squiggle, medium is straight and low appears to just not have an effect
The Ravenclaw common room has a locked door that leads to the outside where you can land and takeoff on a broom. As a Ravenclaw player I wondered what would happen if someone from another house were to land there. I thought that the door would remain closed but I found out through a video that only a Ravenclaw is permitted to even land there.
^^ And if you dont do the right pattern or barrel, you get drenched in vinegar, as seen in the game. In fact, Hufflepuff's common room is the only one to punish you for getting it wrong
@@badger5921 You also get drenched in Vinegar if you tried it as someone from another house. Ravenclaw is the only house with a common room open to others.
@@bigbruh299 My first reaction to that statement is that 'Probably others find Hufflepuff quite boring. ' But then I realized that people are always curious. So, definitely there are people who tried to break into Hufflepuff's common room.
Ravenclaw doesn't have a password nor is it hidden; You can only enter if you have the correct answer for whatever riddle the bird tells. So, it's safe to conclude that the game is calling everyone who isn't in Ravenclaw dumb 💀
Oh wow, thanks for gracing us with your divine wisdom! Nobody but you has ever played a videogame in the history of humanity before, so we never could’ve figured that out without your much-needed help! /s We know. Still cool to see how it’s incorporated into the game environment.
The title of this video is plainly stupid. By being a game developer myself, all the things shown in this video are as it should be by the author of the harry potter books. There are no dev related decisions here whatsoever.
An even better feature for The Fat Lady would’ve been for a non Gryffindor approaching her portrait to attack her with spells and that would’ve made her run out of the frame, as she did when Sirius Black slashed her portrait apart.
Uninstalled after it was beat and a couple 100%s Good game but its ashame it didn't have weekly reset content and at least a couple months of new things happening in it. And no dlc planned, kinda waste for the money. All for a one and done.
I'm patiently waiting for them to release a New Game+ mode with a super extra hard difficulty setting. As it is, the game is kinda easy even in the hardest setting.
It’s a single player game, not a live service or MMO. It’s meant to be a one and done type thing unless you’re trying to 100% it with different houses.
You should be allowed to try guessing the password. Which you could acquire by bribing, befriending or just hanging around near the door and overhearing it.
Since my first playthrough was Ravenclaw, i was confused when i stumbled upon some barrels and got squirted, at the time i hadn't realised i'd found Hufflepuff's common room

Intelligence is taking your knowledge and using it to practical effect.
@@casimirodpv The books never specified what happens when a student tries to enter a different house's common room.
I was expecting Polyjuice potion to go visit other rooms, or a big quest with it. Would have been so cool !
Me too!!! That would be fun!!!
Fat Lady: The password for today is, 'Please go away.'
Me: Please go away
Fat Lady: 🤬
Me: 😏

Honestly anyone with the cape or disillusionment charm can overhear the password, and that doesn’t mean the griffindor student isn’t loyal or brave. It’s just something that could easily happen, password security system is flawed as demonstrated by fig
They need yubi keys as a second factor
Or some information blackmarket selling common room pass and location for like 3 bread costs.
I always imagined the Ravenclaw door would choose its riddles depending on whom approaches. If it were a Ravenclaw student it would know to ask a riddle they would know the answer to. If they aren’t, it knows to ask a riddle that person would not know the answer to. That way it’s all just a facade. And, yes, it would know to recognize teachers and such with a solvable riddle for them.
I like this theory it's a magic door why could it not recognize poeple?
I mean if it could just somehow magically detect which student is part of Ravenclaw, why would it need the riddle password system? The riddle isn't there just to be a fun little game for the students.
That’s kinda bullshit that you can’t go into the other common rooms. Harry went into the Slytherin common room in CoS and the Ravenclaw common room in deathly hallows part 2
well thats because he and ron disguised as crabbe and goyle. and two the battle of hogwarts was going on
well, you're not allowed to go into other common rooms.
Harry and Ron were breaking all the rules to enter the Slytherin Common Room.
And Ravenclaw - because there's a literal war and major battle going on, rules weren't important in that moment.
@@wariolandgoldpiramidall houses were to open as long as the password, riddle, or rythm was done correctly. this is still a school and wasnt meant to be suuuuper secretive. anyway, slytherins break rules, by nature lol
Harry had to drink Poly juice potion to get inside the Slytherin common room.
would be so nice if there was a polyjuice potion to break in the common rooms;)
The developers could have made the joke of adding it but just like in movies and book, it takes one month ingame time to finish. 🤷♂️
@@boooster101 exactly my thought😊
Imagine if the Ravenclaw bird just poops on u if u are not from it house 😂😂😂😂
This just makes me want to try all the house types just to see what it looks like in the dorms lol^^
cant believe you get more interaction with the fat lady when you are not griffindor, if you are griffindor, the door just open automatically everytime without even saying a word
I was SO disappointed that ranvenclaw door did not ask my riddles everytime i tried to enter. As or not as a ravenclaw student. 🤣
And I’ve been in every single one with my Gryffindor character.

Hogwarts. Stopping hormonal teenagers from having one night stands since 1692.
idk, at least in the movies, those bedrooms didn't seem that private. probably better to find the room of requirement for one night stands. "my need is great"
@@ZebulizationThe room of requirement is a barely known secret. Maybe one or two students out of several group years stumble upon the room and then include their closest friends in on the secrets before it goes back to being completely unknown for a few years. It is nowhere near well known enough to be used as a one night stand spot. That's what the unused classrooms and broom closets are for 😂
Except Broom closets. Which were apparently everywhere and necessitated staff patrols at night like dummies. Nah, wizards are just impotent or the witches are barren. Near zero people in Harry Potter had more than one child if that. One would expect a baby boom after Voldemort fell the first time but NOPE.
@@normalguycap They dont have kids because of the Fetus Deletus spell
@@ulra7574
If both the individuals wants a kid was when they wanted to pass on their legacy.
Kinda want ravenclaw to ask impossible riddles with none of the options to be right
Imagine walking in a cellar and a random barrel(or whatever is called) start to soak you in something
Don't worry in-story it only soaks a student when they fail to get the barrel rhythm right. It soaking you upon getting close at all is just the game being weird.
Slytherin entrance is the coolest by a long shot
tbf, would be a cool Easter Egg to overhear some Griffindors say the password...
Or to at least be asked the riddle by the Ravenclaw door
These house "Security measures" aren't really that tight, and they're not really meant to be. Technically, if students cooperate, anyone can enter into any house and professors can enter wherever they like despite being technical members of the houses. It's not the point to make the houses hidden bases that NO ONE can enter unless they're a member. You just need to put a lot of effort into it, if you want to break in. Some might say, way too much effort, since it's just a common room.
That's like a human school using house-themed key cards. Of course you can cheat that system, but the point is it's harder than just waltzing in wherever you want, so at least people won't be doing it constantly
They knew you'd try what... walking around their map & approaching areas & locations? 🤔
Is this innovation to you?
Has so much little details in it 👌👌👌
Realistically you should be able to break into Ravenclaw House. All you need to do is answer a question and you're in.
This game could of been so much more. Especially with the possibility to brew the polyjuice potion. Disguising yourself THEN going into other dorms. With a morality system getting caught USING the polyjuice potion. Polyjuice wears off after so long. Again a objective that'd be fun to try and work around. So many possible side quests that could have. Just adding a morality system should of been the first thing added to the game.
They also should have made brewing potions have a similar system to the one in "The Half-Blood Prince" game on PC, I really enjoyed that minigame.
It would've felt nice actually brewing your own potions, and you could've simply sipped a bit of the potion once brewed to avoid wasting all of it and use it for small encounters.
I feel they didn't go far enough in the roleplaying aspect.
When you're sorted to Azkaban 😂
to be fair, dementors make great guards and deterrents
Bro, just jump into the painting like Super Mario 64 💀
Why 💀?
videos like this really make you miss the dislike numbers.
Password: Hiil hydra
yes hiil hidra me nob me engles no no
Wookunda Forever.
I kinda love how sassy the Fat Lady is in this game.
Gryffindor: No password, no entry. Now scram.
Hufflepuff: lol get sprayed with vinegar
Slytherin: What common room? Nothing to see here.
Ravenclaw: RIDDLE ME THIS, BATMA- oh, wrong franchise.
For the last time, read the collectible lores LOL. It's VINEGAR nor alcohol :'D
@@KxNOxUTA fixed
I once managed to get to a common room or place I was not supposed to and the Stairs turned into a slide
I like your character's outfit! The mask is a great addition!
I still haven’t found the gryffindor common room 😂
The Hufflepuff entrance looked like the business end of an armored Korean warship used during the Imjin War (1592) against the invading Japanese. Of course the Korean version shot out twin jets of jellied liquid fire up to 100 meters away and turned everything the beams touched to ashes, a real functional heat ray.
As a Ravenclaw, I love the entrance to the Slytherin common room the most.
I love stuff like this in games.
They didn't have to do this, and they'd be forgiven if they didn't, yet they did anyway.
Did what
yeah seriously? did what? i dont understand this video at all
@@scalz420 Blocked the entrance in foreign faculty's common room.
@@davidh3300 or like how they added stairs to girl dormatory that are being flatten when a male student tries to get up, it was in the books.
@@enginnope6841 ohh that's what that it! I was wondering why I couldn't go up these stairs lmao
Random fun fact you need to 100% this game:
If you go near the hufflepuff common room you will find a painting and if you walk up to it, you get the option to (and I quote) "Tickle the pear"
It could be accessed via mods, no-clip mode, but probably there isnt anything special in their common rooms, maybe you could talk to some students you usually couldnt, or collect some items too.
Ah the forbidden no clip spell
Or you could restart the game in a different house. We already knew, I think even before the release of the game, that each house comes with an exclusive mission, nothing else. The common rooms themselves are quite different in architecture and style but they don't have anything that would change the course of the game or the story.
@@AlejandroLZuvic interesting part would be if you enter other house via no-clip mode and try to insert like Raveclaw emblem into Griffindor house chest, but i think it wouldnt work, since quest is linked to your house chest
She: password?
Me: Avada Kedavra!
Developers knew you would try what?
Common room entrance ranked worst to best:
1. Ravenclaw - Absolute dogshite. Not only does the door straight up give you clues to the password, but literally _anyone_ can figure it out if they’re smart enough. Not to mention the possibility of certain riddles having multiple answers.
2. Hufflepuff - Mediocre. The tapping rhythm and location is always the same, and after hundreds of years, everyone knows it. However, it’s also the only entrance with a defense mechanism to keep intruders out, so it offsets the “password” being public knowledge.
3. Gryffindor - Very good, hidden entrance with a constantly changing password and controlled by a sentient being. However, it does lose points since the Fat Lady openly announces that it’s an entrance.
4. Slytherin - Perfection. Like Gryffindor, it also uses a constantly changing password. But what makes it perfect is that the door literally does not exist until a Slytherin approaches, _then_ asks for a password. Even if an intruder knows the location and the password, they can’t enter because there is no door to enter through.
They knew you would do what? Run to a talking painting in a harry potter game? You don't say.
in the lego game all you have to do is disguise yourself as a student from the various houses hehe
Why do your basic cast magic bolts squiggle when you use them? Mine are straight
did some testing and it's to do with what you have your effects graphics setting set to, high and ultra squiggle, medium is straight and low appears to just not have an effect
Wtf do you mean squiggle?
@@madman5710 look at some other vids it’s more obvious in them
Bro is rejected by all four houses
I would prefer open world Hogwarts with less limitation.
It looks like to me you can only access ares and secret locations by depending on which house you are in
The Ravenclaw common room has a locked door that leads to the outside where you can land and takeoff on a broom. As a Ravenclaw player I wondered what would happen if someone from another house were to land there. I thought that the door would remain closed but I found out through a video that only a Ravenclaw is permitted to even land there.
Wow. The paintings move. Glad they remembered that 👍
I wish they made it so that you could answer riddles to get into ravenclaw dorm if you used the normal door entrance instead of warping!
Some one will eventually do it you know they will fling the selves through some Glitch in to some other house and AVADA Kadavra Everyone in sight.
I always found it so silly tbh, you should be able to at least enter other common rooms- even if it’s against rules
Alohomora should allow you access to Ravenclaw common room, as it is clearly the smartest solution regardless of the riddle.
Change my mind.
doors can be enchanted to resist Alohomora. Ravenclaw would have been smart enough to prevent a simple spell from negating her security
@@corberus3119 Her "security" lets through anyone who can answer a riddle a 10-year old can solve.
Also, not the point.
@@MrSamulainot the point? They explained to you why it’s not possible.
@@pavladavlas The point was not that alohomora DOES get you in, but that it SHOULD.
@@MrSamulai and there’s in-universe explanations as to why it doesn’t. It’s not a normal locked door. Alohomora only works on normal locked doors.
Odd how slytherin is the only common room that doesnt have an invisible page to collect for their entrance.
That air of secrecy is fitting for them
They didnt knew you could try skip merlin puzzle cutscene
I thought this was resident evil from the thumbnail and got disappointed once i heard British people.
Try what?
I don't own the game but I didn't know you can dress like a caped ninja.
Meanwhile in Hogwarts Mystery your custom character can (and should at some point in the story) enter another common room.
It's amazing that the character creator is so limited you ended up with exactly the same char as me
So apparently Hufflepuff is the only house without a password because everyone is welcome there 🤔 that would've been nice if they added that
there is a password ^^
You have to tap the correct sequence of barrel on the rythme of Helga Hufflepuff :3
^^
And if you dont do the right pattern or barrel, you get drenched in vinegar, as seen in the game. In fact, Hufflepuff's common room is the only one to punish you for getting it wrong
Oh my bad 😅😅
@@badger5921 You also get drenched in Vinegar if you tried it as someone from another house. Ravenclaw is the only house with a common room open to others.
@@bigbruh299 My first reaction to that statement is that 'Probably others find Hufflepuff quite boring. ' But then I realized that people are always curious. So, definitely there are people who tried to break into Hufflepuff's common room.
Why are the Hand enemies from Elden Ring behind the Gryffindor entrance?
when your standards are so low that a closed door counts as a easter egg
Ravenclaw doesn't have a password nor is it hidden; You can only enter if you have the correct answer for whatever riddle the bird tells. So, it's safe to conclude that the game is calling everyone who isn't in Ravenclaw dumb 💀
Closing off areas that the player isn't supposed to access is one of the most basic components of game world design.
Oh wow, thanks for gracing us with your divine wisdom! Nobody but you has ever played a videogame in the history of humanity before, so we never could’ve figured that out without your much-needed help! /s
We know. Still cool to see how it’s incorporated into the game environment.
If it was Sir Cadogan who was Guarding the Griffindor common room, he would've allowed anyone to get in.
The title of this video is plainly stupid. By being a game developer myself, all the things shown in this video are as it should be by the author of the harry potter books.
There are no dev related decisions here whatsoever.
An even better feature for The Fat Lady would’ve been for a non Gryffindor approaching her portrait to attack her with spells and that would’ve made her run out of the frame, as she did when Sirius Black slashed her portrait apart.
Stop making content like this. It’s pointless
I don’t think anyone at any time ever realistically thought we’d be let into a common room of a house we didn’t belong to.
Uninstalled after it was beat and a couple 100%s
Good game but its ashame it didn't have weekly reset content and at least a couple months of new things happening in it. And no dlc planned, kinda waste for the money. All for a one and done.
.. Yeah, i'm just going to assume that you didn't really mean that.
And if you did, I actually feel sorry for you.
consumers nowadays....
I'm patiently waiting for them to release a New Game+ mode with a super extra hard difficulty setting. As it is, the game is kinda easy even in the hardest setting.
It’s a single player game, not a live service or MMO. It’s meant to be a one and done type thing unless you’re trying to 100% it with different houses.
You should be allowed to try guessing the password. Which you could acquire by bribing, befriending or just hanging around near the door and overhearing it.
??
The Ravenclaw door could throw you a difficult riddle and, since you can't answer (no interface for that), you can't enter
A *real* shame nothing happens with the Ravenclaw or Slytherin CR entrances. Hufflepuff looks *painful, if a bit cruel!*
Since my first playthrough was Ravenclaw, i was confused when i stumbled upon some barrels and got squirted, at the time i hadn't realised i'd found Hufflepuff's common room
Watching this video only makes me think the developers had no idea anyone would try anything.
