You Only Have One Chance to See This...

🪄I attempted Hogwarts Legacy's Dark Arts Battle Arena on Hard Mode...without using ANY unforgivable spells! clip-share.net/video/ccZ3GE-a7AQ/video.html 🪄

There's a scene in the 6th book where Harry meets professor Trelawney near the Room of Requirement, where he learns that she has been using the room to hide bottles of sherry. I think the bottles in the vase are a reference to that.

It’s 100% a reference to when Trelawney tries to hide her sherry bottles in the room of requirement in book six. She ends up stuffing them in a vase near the room.

You can also see Prof. Hecat young if you wait for her to walk in front of some of the mirrors in her classroom. Apparently she has enchanted them to show her true self.

The transformation spell can be used to turn an animagus back to a dark witch!

I read the books again before the game came out and when I got to that mission, I started looking for the vanishing cabinet and the weird bust on top of the cabinet that Harry hides the potions book in. I found the vanishing cabinet!

When you use transformation on pots and vases in dungeons, the coin sacks happen a lot.

theres a chest that can only be unlocked by using the transform spell on a vase, which turns it into a giant chess piece, and must be placed on a specific square. after unlocking the door that holds the chest, the piece can be turned back into a vase.

I love how the game brings in the Easter eggs even though this is a prequel of the Harry Potter series but they've done a very good job and I've only seen 2 Easter eggs! And I can't wait to see all the other ones And I'm glad I didn't miss the vanishing cabinet one, I'm not there yet

There is a second Snape Jack in the box in the faculty tower that doesn't go back in the box. I found it sitting on a shelf right after I got Alohomora and was searching for the two Demiguise in that area for the quest.
Edit: I see you actually show that one at 4:50

Maybe if you can find the portrait of Sir Cadogan (the knight who guarded the Gryffindor for a while in the Prisoner of Azkaban) dressed in armor you might get an interesting out come.

I like the part when Dutch tells Arthur that they need more money

The paper article with the chicken is actually how you breed basilisks. It's just not easy (in mythical lore)

The gear-wearing interaction one. I thought that if I wore the Demiguise mask and stand in front of Gladwin Moon, he’d act scared or yelp or something since he is afraid of them.
Nope: nothing that cool happens.
But I do really love the Werewolf Saga Tapestries secret. For me, it is a nod to Remus Lupin and his experience with turning into a werewolf as the story (when you cast lumos) seems to be more about the anxiety of the transformation than the transformation itself. I keep coming back to that secret room and observing it. Thinking about how clever the creators were to use ‘the light of the moon’ to expose the whole story rather than revelio.
Without even meeting the devs of Avalanche and Portkey Games I can already tell they’re very passionate fans of the Harry Potter/Wizarding World franchise themselves. It just goes to show you the huge difference in the quality delivered when the devs are fans as well as business people

I think professor Hecat used a time turner to go back too far in time that when she got back she aged the same years. I think thats how Time turners are explained in the books and its why Rowling decided to destroy them all in later books

The unicorn fact is actually pretty cool tbh. In Universal Orlando’s Hagrids ride, at the end of the ride, the little baby unicorn is also gold who’s next to its white mother 😭🥰

The devs did so good in including so many elements from books/movies.

Regarding the Newspaper articles, you will also find proof of the stories in various vaults and caves, etc... For example, you will find a dead guy next to an open cage with a letter talking about the Dricken.

By far the best Hogwarts Legacy Easter egg video!
Thanks for all the research you did, the Easter eggs included are unique and new, and the video is structured fantastically!
Thanks!

You can use the transformation spell on all targetable pots, crates, barrels etc. Barrels & large crates only make pumpkins. All others change to animals (chicken, rabbit, mice, frogs) or coins. Sometimes if you change a few close together quickly you'll get higher chance of coins. Sometimes. All the pots you kick/break could have been a few coins. About 50 is highest i've seen from one pouch and as little as 3. Rabbits are bad about breaking pots next to them..

If you guys remember when the transformation spell was taught in harry potter movie Ron couldn't completely tranform his rat to a wine cup and so the Spell icon in the game looks exactly like what happened lol

Great video as always! I have played for a long time and still didn't know some of these secrets!
About the basilisk breeder, I'm pretty sure you can also find one dead in one of the caves with a bunch of chickens and a note from the ministry warning him about not having toads around. I'm not sure if it's the same one from the newspaper but I found it quite amusing to find him after reading the news in Hogmeade.

In the 6th book where harry meets Trelawny near the room of requirment and then harry learns that she used the room to hide sherry's. That's a reference to the vase with butterbeers

6:30 I believe it isn't a nod to Dobby, it's the 6th book and Professor Trelawney trying to hide bottles of sherry in the Room of Requirements but the Malfoy throws her out

The Snape jack in the box can be found in other places throughout the game, it's not just in the room of hidden things.

I just finished the main story, and need to do all the side stuff yet. I didn't even know you could get into the kitchen. And it's by tickling the pear in the painting. That's so cool. The developers really did their homework for this game. I have quite a bit to go before taking my O.W.L.S. I tried to find the entrance to the chamber of secrets and thought I did until seeing this video and realizing it was the wrong bathroom. Is there no way to open it? Even if you're a Slytherin? Loved the video! Got a sub from me.😃👍

I was kinda hoping to find a five-legged creature or its skeleton in the room of hidden things since that's referenced in I think it's Halfblood Prince but - no such luck.

Honestly out of all the Easter eggs mentioned in this video,Sacharissa Tugwood is probably my favorite

So I found something strange and have no clue what it is. In front of the windows in the Slytherin common room at night I used Lumos, besides the fish seemingly reacting to it, a small flickering light appeared in the distance underwater. It remained there even after I stopped using Lumos. I took screenshots to be sure. Does anyone know what it could be?

There are two armoured guards arguing in a short hallway (can't recall location, but perhaps the armor you wear could trigger different dialogue when u approach them.

The Daily Prophet story on the guy trying to make a basilisk ties in to another easter egg hidden in the world.
Also, like the tapestry, there is the medusa picture that changes when you interact with it.
@RetroRaconteur My question though is, there is a pile of furs at a ruin that glows blue when revelio is used, but I can't find an interaction with it. Anyone else notice this, or figure it out?

Finding the Medusa portrait will turn you to stone for a short time

You don't even have to look up the unicorn-thing in fantastic beasts. Hagrid teaches this to his class after Grubbly-Plank took over his class for a brief period. He has Baby unicorns there and tells the class that Babys are pure golden and are more open to humans and "don't mind boys so much".

With the Butterbeer, there are two versions of it the non-alcohol version and the alcohol version, though the alcohol version is a lot stronger than the non-alcohol version

Ive found a secret. This might seem like a no brainer but its an extra detail added to the game so... The tables in the kitchens have different kinds of food on them depending on the time of day and no food with piles of plates off to the sides during the night.

Love your videos on Hogwarts Legacy! They actually teach me lores that I wasn't aware of! And certain secrets that I yet to discover! :)

It just amazes me the level of Potter nerd that is needed on one's resume to have been hired on to this team. This game is FULL of potter lore.

My other thought, besides with Trelawny, was perhaps the bottles reference the bottles Fred and George snuck in to celebrate winning a quidditch match

Yeah… The butter beer you can buy at official Wizarding World locations is FAR from book accurate. I wish the parks had a code named version that was for adults to try. I don’t drink and I would try it. 😢

The bottles in the vase could also be a reference to Professor Trelawney hiding her sherry bottles in 'The Half-Blood Prince'.

The golden unicorn was said in a mission to save a unicorn, the lady says she's been taking care of it since it was a golden foal.

It is said in the books that Unicorns are born gold and become white as they grow. We learn this when professor Grubly-Plank substitutes for Hagrid in the Care of Magical Creatures class. In the game however, they have shiny versions of all of the creatures and the Shiny unicorns are gold even as adults.

I have yet to hear anyone discovering this. Unless its a nod to Sirius Black escaping Azkaban by transforming into a dog, I can't think of another reason for what I saw. When traveling to Azkaban, one cell on the left was holding a baby mooncalf. I barely noticed it but I was sure that's what I saw when taking a closer look.

I name my characters as relatives of characters in the series. On my live playthough, I had named my character Eldritch Diggory. It became quite awkward talking to myself doing the Hufflepuff main questline.

There are some pedestals with dragons that you set on fire, I think they are located in iconic places of the movies or books. For example there is one where Snape dies and another in the astronomy tower where Harry sees how Dumbedlor dies. Is it a coincidence? What does it refer to?

Lol good ol Peeves, but all credit goes to Nick for convincing him to do it to save Harry from Filch the squib lol 😂

Thanks for all that research... absolutely fantastic story about Winky and her butterbeer addiction. Love your vids, so different from the rest of the crowd. Wonderful.

Wow! Didn't know any of these apart from the pijama reactions and professor Hecat being wounded by time, but didn't know the connection to the egg-bird scene. Also, I do know that you can converse with your teachers to learn more about them.

Didn't you notice the dragon icon flying over the map when you look to fast travel?

The transformation spell had it where you do it to a cow 10 times and you complete an achievement

Very well made video with incredible hints and references 🙌

Safe to say, I haven't found any of these but I *have* seen the dragon. Issue was, I was talking to someone in-game at the point it flew by, so I don't think it counted. Did you find the Snitch in the Room, though? I know it appears a brief second as your character comments on it, and I never got into the same little shut-in it was hiding in after, but you can see it over the wall.
That news article sheds light on Lupin's reasoning for giving Harry chocolate after the Dementor attack in 'Prisoner'. Also never connected that it was the Forbidden Forest they ran around in in that movie, but of course it had to be, though that iconic scene was the first thing I wondered about when seeing the lake in-game.
The Butterbeer bottles in the vase is interesting, considering no house-elves that we know of from the books are in the game.
There's a decapitated statue in a secret room that's holding its own head. When you interact with it, it turns you to stone.
Never tried anything other than my underwear to trigger unique dialogues, though I know there are pajama outfits as well.

It's mad that I put 100 hours into the game and got the platinum trophy and I didn't once see the random dragon flying around the world

in the vivarium you can use the transfiguration spell on the phoenix. you can farm money by exiting the vivarium and rentering it after picking up the coin sack.

0:30 When you are sneaking around hogwarts at night helping Prof Moon with his quest, one of the teachers rooms actually has the Snape Jack n Box in their office, you can view it in all its glory! 🤓

I found an Easter egg related to an old German fairy tale. Namely the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin. At the castle gate, where Mr. Moon lives, there are also stables for the Thestrals. Above the stables is a locked room and in the room is a spinning wheel and several baskets full of straw.
For those who don't know this fairy tale, although it is quite well known, a short summary: Once upon a time there was a miller who wanted his daughter to marry the king. So he lied to the king, claiming that his daughter had the gift of spinning straw into gold. The king wanted to convince himself of this and locked the girl in a room filled with straw and a spinning wheel. Desperate, the girl didn't know what to do and started crying. Suddenly a little man appeared and offered his help, but also made demands. On the first night Rumpelstiltskin demanded her necklace, on the second night her ring. And on the third night he demanded her firstborn child, because if she could spin straw into gold again that night, the king wanted to take her as his wife. She agreed. And when the first child was born, Rumpelstiltskin came and wanted to take it with him. The girl (now the queen) could not give up the child and cried. Rumpelstiltskin softened and offered her that if she managed to guess his name in just 3 days, she could keep the child. Long story short: By chance she heard the name, called it on the 3rd day, Rumpelstiltskin got angry and tore himself up in anger. The End.

I think maybe if you find sir cadogon as a knight it will have an interaction

I actually did _not_ know about the tapestry you could walk through. And since I'm trying for 100%, that was one of my missing field guide pages for my collection.

I'm not a potter head so a lot of the references and characters are lost on me 😂 but I really wanna enjoy this game to it's fullest

You can actually find de guy who breeds basilisk in one of the missions with Sebastian

On the cloths. I like dressing my characters in PJs for the nighttime quests in Hogwarts. But on my 2nd playthrough i didnt loot them FOREVER. So i made the appearance of my outfit "invisible" which looks like an Edwardian shift and pants, looks like fancy nightwear. I forgot to turn it off in daytime and someone laughed at me at said "nice undies."

thats cool to be able to use the transformation spell on chickens, cattle and sheep but of course goblins, poachers and those otherenemy witches and wizards i'll be getting hogwarts legacy for my PS4 in may i already got the preordering day set for it just finishing off the funds that i need for the digital copy

Yeah the bottles in the vase are definitely wine bottles, that's Trelawney for sure. If they were butterbeer bottles I'd say it could be winky but those are too big.

Now you've mentioned different dialogue with outfits, wonder if the dress robes and Prof Wesley's have something.

I ran into a problem today when I was playing. I went with Fig to a tower for my first "trial" and we're both invisible and Fig tells me to sneak up on a troll and use Petrificus Totalus on him...except I hadn't learned it yet. It doesn't show up in any of my lists of spells. I googled it and it was supposed to be learned ages ago but it didn't happen for me. Great...

in secret 2 the newspaper i read one of them the first time i saw it and it showed you how to breed bassilisks you need to hatch a chickens egg over a toad to do it its so easy to breed them

Thanks for the clear, concise, yet fully informative video about these secrets. Have you been to the Death Day Party?

Great video. I do not understand how Lumos affects the tapestries though. When you lit your wand, nothing happened.

I can't remember what happened exactly, but when I killed a mongrel that was attacking me, the remains were that of a sheep.

Apparently you can turn sheep into a ball of wool and if you toss it into a hoop you get something

Secret 1 (The Vanishing Cabinet) is why the Floo system in Hogwarts Legacy doesn't make any sense. From a video game point of view, I understand the need for a "fast travel" system, but the developers should have thought of another way. I can't provide such a solution, but then again, I'm not a gave developer...

you can also turn random things like barrels into animals and coins

my burning question is, HOW DO YOU OPEN THE SHUT DOWN SHOP DOOR in hogsmead.
theres a boarded up shop, where if you use "revealio" itll show blue glowing boards over the door, as ifd they can be moved or burned.
however, no spell seems to do anything to it.

Dumbledore's grave site is also in the middle of the lake at Hogwarts!

The stepladder in honeydukes basement. It's the only one I've seen in the game so far

You can glitch your way into the other common rooms!

My favourite outfit is the pyjamas. It's hilarious when people comment on my lack of dress code. Even better when an overpowered 15 year old single handedly slays trolls, takes down the entire poaching ring and goblin rebellion, all the while when they can't be bothered to get dressed after getting out of bed. 😆

I'm pretty sure you can go through the room of hidden things again

In the room of secrets, there is the king from the chess fight in the philosophers stone

What happens if you wear the demiguise mask and you talk to Moon?

Did anybody see the students flying 4 kites out in the garden? Maybe that happens alot or rare? Not sure

Hecat's story shows that the Cursed Child can't be true.
Otherwise, why didn't Scorpius turn 120years.

I will never not giggle whenever I hear the name "Tugwood".

Remember professor trilawny hide her shery bottles in the room of hidden things. And hide some behind the tapestry across from the entrance

i managed to get a legendary iten from transforming a chicken in the mountains there's a guy who has been transformed it gave me the idea to change the 2 chickens near him and i get a weapon from it

In room of hidden things, there is a small mirror and when you look into it you can see the back of your head! I was sooo amazed but unfortunately the streamer I was following hardly notice anything -_-

What are your favorite secrets and easter eggs in Hogwarts Legacy?

Aren't house elfs much stronger then wizards?

The talking mirrors seem to say something different depending on what you wear

2:52 I'm fairly certain the "witch wakes from 600 year slumber" is a reference to Bayonetta. Bayonetta is from the UK, not Ireland, but was put into a magical sleep for 500 years before the start of the first game.

if have the flamboyant robes on (the purple one) people will say something along the lines of "you wouldnt catch me in public with that on" or "go change into your school issued robes".

If you paid attention to Professor Grubbly-Plank, you'd know that Unicorn foals have a gold coat, and are comfortable only around witches.

Love it! I had no idea about some of these

Secret room in gryffindor common room behind a clock in the corner.
Secret room in hufflepuff common room behind a bookcase.

since you can turn animals into coins and take them is that technically killing them?

I don't know if this happened to anyone else I put a potting table in room of requirements and it unlocked a Harry Potter movie, had this happened to anyone else, do you get all the movies?

In the transfigurations classroom there is a rat that is half transformed to a cup… enough said :)

I had fun playing this game.

what about the hidden Room full of snacks in the Hufflepuff common room?

Hector Fawley, future Minister of Magic, can be seen at the school too! It’s not just Sacharisa Tugwood!
