Especially when it's about giant open world maps like this one! That's what I love most about them as well, it's always in a way a throwback to playing and discovering the original levels as a child which makes it a super nostalgic experience 💛
I would like to thank you, Nixxo, for posting all these videos, be they speedruns or mod playthroughs (and HL content). It's such a nice space to relive the nostalgia. And, honestly, my favourite thing to do on Sundays is watching your new upload whilst snacking on cookies and tea. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for the kind words, honestly the biggest praise I can receive for this small and silly channel 💛 Super happy to hear that you enjoy the variety of games and that it brings back some nostalgia! And this channels uploads being a part of your weekend routine so to speak is just awesome, thank you very much!
Wow this map is AMAZING, Cake did an incredible job! It feels like the Hogwarts I dreamed of when I was a child, it made me nostalgic and kind of emotional 🥹 excellent video, Nixxo!
I couldn't agree more with everything you said there, cake has managed to build such a big and vibrant open world castle that really throws us back to discovering the OG castle for the first time. Imagine going back in time and showing our kid versions this custom map, it would have been surreal! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video as well and that it invoked all those nice emotions in you, thabk you for the kind words!
I almost forgot to comment which would have been a shame! Absolutely love the effort put into this map, the inclusion of ideas and artwork from the community and also little easter eggs is just brilliant. The scale of the map is mindblowing, thats solid two hours of playtime and well, thats about a quarter of the actual game (not talking about speedruns obviously :D). Would absolutely love to see creations like this somehow to be connected to the original game, to enrich the whole experience and immersion. Lets talk about flaws! Are there any? Its really well designed, programmed and tested. Maybe the one things which could have been improved a little is the "I need to find this book" story with some more voicelines, but thats the thing: on this level the only thing I really could wish for is: more! I really hope the saga continues and we get to see some exiting new Hogwarts areas and revisit untold parts of the story. Thanks for showcasing this excellent work!
Definitely in the Top 5 of best HP2 PC custom maps of all time! Also that's something really cool to read there, there have been a lot of new mappers around recently who all do amazing work and it's definitely the more the merrier so I can't wait to see what you are going to build!
I have to say that people are getting really close to a full castle rebuild in the scale of Legacy with maps like this 😄 Super awesome to see and play those amazingly detailed maps!
I had that longing to live in the video game version of HP2 sooo much as a child and now discovering the "new castle" with all of those custom maps kind of brings it back for me as well so I know what you are talking about! What an amazing and cozy world it is, it would be super amazing ❤️
Now that you mention it I wonder if the map creator played it and might have gotten inspiration from that... It's another classic game series after all!
You can really lose youself in this map trying to discover the entire open world, the same happened to me pretty much. Really happy that you enjoyed it as well though!
Ok, chat wrote gargoyle button indeed, but I've to admit with gargoyle I also thought on the lumos statures. For me, that on the stone table was more of a small ugly devil like in the moral angel und devil picture. xD
I'm very happy to hear that I am not alone in thinking that then 😂 It's definitely not a classic Gargoyle depiction like we have on buildings and with the Lumos statues in this game which is what I was mostly looking for. I like "ugly devil" as a dedcription for that one though, will use that one from now on 😂
A LOT is possible with the new editor/engine nowadays if you just have the patience for it. They have done an amazing job with it and it's super cool to see stuff like that ported to the other games!
Yeaah this part is really impossible to solve for casual players and I think more of a joke reference for everyone who has followed the madness of that frog manipulation strat from the HP2 PC Glitchless runs.
I've downloaded the game and the mod, but when I try to load the map it just does nothing. Is it any other configuration needed apart from loading the mod ad draggin the extracted files into the game folder? It's my first time trying a moded map on this game.
Heyy, since this is a really new custom mod it requires the new engine patch for HP2 PC to load in, I explain the details on where to get it from and how to set it up here:ruclips.net/video/kPeX8F_5SvM/видео.htmlsi=JC_ib2c6se-8Flxf (starting at 7:24) in the video. I hope that helped and have fun playing! 😄
I've downloaded another maps before, and all of them are working great. But I've downloaded this map, and when I try to load it, i get an error "Bad import index"😢 what should i do?
This map requires the new Engine mod that the community made. So I would assume the error comes from trying to play this map with the base game. You can find some more infos on how to set up the new engine over here, hope that helps and have fun with the map! docs.google.com/document/d/1b_AsvqQtcTTLohgOdXqTHbC-oK6-KsD5ZeBuX4Usw2A/edit?usp=drivesdk
Ohh that makes a lot of sense, sorry for not thinking about that myself. Some of the maps are really picky when it comes to the editor version but the newest one should always work for all of them, happy to hear that you figured it out and enjoy playing!
i love custom map exploration. its like discovering the game from scratch again

I wanted to do that but there really any lines in the entire game that I could make into a coherent story :o
thx for the kind words tho :)
Wow! Excellent map. One of these days I have to try my hand at making a custom map.
Definitely in the Top 5 of best HP2 PC custom maps of all time! Also that's something really cool to read there, there have been a lot of new mappers around recently who all do amazing work and it's definitely the more the merrier so I can't wait to see what you are going to build!
We love David Cake’s maps❤
They always are very special ones for sure 💛
Map looks SO awesome!
At this point I'm waiting for a rebuild of the full Hogwarts Legacy map in this style :D
I have to say that people are getting really close to a full castle rebuild in the scale of Legacy with maps like this 😄 Super awesome to see and play those amazingly detailed maps!
I soo much want to go inside or live in that castle... Seems so much cozy and interesting
I had that longing to live in the video game version of HP2 sooo much as a child and now discovering the "new castle" with all of those custom maps kind of brings it back for me as well so I know what you are talking about! What an amazing and cozy world it is, it would be super amazing ❤️
@@Nixxo you wrote that right from my mind sir... ❤️
That pipe puzzle made me think of the pipe puzzles from the Nancy Drew games
Now that you mention it I wonder if the map creator played it and might have gotten inspiration from that... It's another classic game series after all!
This is so goddamn amazing! I'm really fallen into this!
You can really lose youself in this map trying to discover the entire open world, the same happened to me pretty much. Really happy that you enjoyed it as well though!

37:27 I had no idea HP3 content, such as those banners, could be imported into HP2 (& feasibly HP1)!
A LOT is possible with the new editor/engine nowadays if you just have the patience for it. They have done an amazing job with it and it's super cool to see stuff like that ported to the other games!
@@Nixxo Huh...you learn something new everyday!
23:20 Honestly I'd newer understood what to do there on my own xD

@@Nixxo Thx! Until now I just watched your videos about custom maps. But this last one, i felt like I wanna play it by myself first!
I love eating custom cheese
Honestly the best kind of cheese...
When quest to find a cheese.
I think Kaas has been on that quest in the comments here since the start of the year 😂
I've downloaded another maps before, and all of them are working great. But I've downloaded this map, and when I try to load it, i get an error "Bad import index"😢 what should i do?

@@Nixxo unfortunately, no. I have installed Metallicafan212 already. Another maps works with it
UPD: I'm just updated the editor and it worked)

Clearly on the "quest to find some cheese" then 😋
...
Can't beat the cheese master 😂
