| Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K. All Curses Guide (How to Get): ------------------------------ Written by Desmos If you do not want to read spoilers, but enjoy the plot, but do not know where to find spells, I’ll just tell you in one sentence. Complete all tasks from Sebastian Sallow. After completing all his missions you will get all three Curses. -=Avada Kedavra I think most of the players just wanna kill someone and for that they need exactly this spell. However, if you want to unlock this you will need 28 level, so you will be able to do it only at the end or after the main story. You can unlock and get the Avada Kedavra by progressing through Sebastian’s Relationship questline, where you have to complete the “In the Shadow of the Relic” quest to get “Avada Kedavra”. * You have to progress the quest and chase down Sebastian into the Feldcroft region. * Over there, interact and talk to Sebastian Sallow. * While having the conversation, select the “Everyone should know the curse” option. * Then, select the “Yes, please” dialogue option to learn the killing curse. This would conclude In the shadow of the Relic quest and reward you with the Avada Kedavra spell. -=Imperio The first of the three Unforgivable Curses and that gives the spell- caster total control over their subject. If you think that you can only “ask” enemy to walk as you want, you wrong. This is to useful curse in the battles, that i extremely advice to use. Enemies under this spell will have glowing white eyes and a green X-mark when targeted.. And as said Alastor Moody “You can ask him to drown if you want to”. This spell is in the quest “In The Shadows Of Time”. You can get this quest by checking the Owl Post in your menu for a letter from Sebastian around Level 17. * You have to progress the quest where you will come to Sebastian’s childhood house. * When you come there, enter the cave. * Uncover the ancient relic. * At the end of the mission Sebastian can teach you the curse. -=Crucio Another Unforgivable Curse that is not allowed to use, but of course as you are a player you can do it without any restrictions. You have first to complete a series of quests in Sebastian’s quest line. This spell will damage the enemy during the whole battle. Also it is the first Unforgivable Curse that was used by Harry Potter in 5th book. So to unlock it, you’ll be offered the quest “In The Shadows Of the Study”. * You have to progress the quest where you will enter the Slytherin’s Scriptorium where you’ll find a door that requires the unforgivable spell to be used. * Over there, interact and talk to Sebastian Sallow. * While having the conversation, select to perform the curse by yourself option. * After that you’ll be able to use the spell.

Stutter Fix Guide (Windows 10/11): ---------------------------------- Written by Mkkt Bkkt Here’s a small guide how to reduce or get rid of game stutters. -=The Fix=- * Find “Exploit protection” in search bar(can be found manually in Windows Security app by selecting the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for “Windows Security” then Select the “App & browser” control tile (or the app icon on the left menu bar) and then select “Exploit protection”. * Click the “Program settings” tab. * Click the “Add program to customise”. * Click the “Choose exact file path”. * Navigate to the "HogwartsLegacy.exe" and select it (likely in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy). * Scroll down to the “Control flow guard (CFG)”. * Check the “Override system settings” and toggle the “On” to “Off”. * Click “Apply”. * Restart PC. Money Cheat: ------------ How to farm money early on in Hogwarts Legacy: You can money farm at a rate of 10.000 Gold per 10 minutes early on in the game. Open Eye Chests (500 Gold per Chest) by casting the Disillusionment Charm (invisibility spell) on yourself out of sight of the Chest’s eye. Get this charm by completing the 10th main story mission titled “Secrets of the Restricted Section” after talking to and meeting with Sebastian in the Central Hall at night. Then go open the 20+ Eye Chests found around Hogwarts & Hogsmeade (can be done in about 10 minutes) and beyond to easily farm more Gold, until you have so much money you can buy whatever your heart desires. Some Tweaks You Might Want to Do: --------------------------------- Written by Oishi First of all, I’m running with 12700 + 3080Ti at 4587×1920 (1.78x DLDSR) with no RT and DLSS set to Quality. With these tweaks, my stuttering is gone and some FPS boost. -=GameUserSettings.ini=- Important note: First you’ll need to enable show hidden files. * Once that is done head over to C:\Users(yourname)\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. * Locate "GameUserSettings.ini" * Find RecFogQuality, RecPostProcessQuality, sg.PostProcessQuality (Ctrl + F to search) * Change the number to -1 for those then save the file (In this case, 0=Low, 1=Med, 2=High, 3=Ultra). * Usually 0 means OFF but i did tried set it to 0 and those fog, PostFX are still there so i set it to -1 and seems to work, did notice differences. * Im not sure what exactly does those Rec line do, but i changed the numbers as well. Reminder: After its done, set GameUserSettings.ini to Read-Only. Theres lot more settings you can tweak in the .ini file Volumetrics, Sky, etc. Play around a bit if you would like to turn off something or push your gpu to its limit. How to Boost FPS: ----------------- Written by Xerora -=How-To=- I want to start by thanking the other couple guides that recommend updating DLSS manually. That added onto the boost I’ve been trying to work on. * You can grab the latest DLSS here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/ * Copy & Replace that DLL to: \Hogwarts Legacy\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 Now onto the Nvidia driver stuff * Right click your desktop and open Nvidia Control Panel. * Go to Manage 3D Settings. * Click on the “Program Settings Tab”. -=Enable=- * Low Latency Mode > Ultra. * Power Management Mode > Prefer Maximum Performance. * Triple Buffering > On. * Vsync > Fast. * Save. This game doesn’t have multiplayer and the AI appears to be tied to the render times, so Triple Buffering will still sync the AI to your latency. -=.ini edit=- The game is built on unreal engine, so any ini addition from other unreal engine 4 games will typically work with this game (and others). * In your GameUserSettings.ini (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor) you’re going to add a few lines. * Open the ini and scroll to the bottom, and add: [/script/engine.engine] bSmoothFrameRate=0 Then look for the [SystemSettings] section just above where you added this new line. Under [SystemSettings] add: r.TextureStreaming=0 r.MaxAnisotropy=set this to whatever you want; (x2, x4, x8, x16) max is 16 r.AsyncCompute=1 By default UE4 games have TextureStreaming enabled which causes hitching and stutters when you enter a new area, or re-enter old ones that force a reload (IE, re-entering Hogwarts after spending 10 minutes on a mission in Hogsmead.) Assuming you have 16GBs of ram and at least 6 to 8 GBs of VRAM on your GPU, this will help you keep a consistent FPS. For AsyncCompute, i recommend only using this if you have at least a 30 series Nvidia or at least a 6000 series AMD (or newer). Afterwards, save the ini, and set it to Read Only (right click>properties). -=And for the most important setting=- * Turn off raytracing for the time being, unless you have a 4000 series RTX Card, and can use Frame Generation. * With these settings I’m able to run the game at 75 to 80 FPS on ultra with a 3060ti, with 1% lows barely dropping to 60. -=Other possible fixes=- Exluding the game in Exploit protection * Find “Exploit protection” in search bar(can be found manually in Windows Security app by selecting the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for “Windows Security” then Select the “App & browser” control tile (or the app icon on the left menu bar) and then select “Exploit protection”. * Click the “Program settings” tab. * Click the “Add program to customise”. * Click the “Choose exact file path”. * Navigate to the HogwartsLegacy.exe and select it (likely in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy). * Scroll down to the “Control flow guard (CFG)”. * Check the “Override system settings” and toggle the “On” to “Off”. * Click “Apply”. * Restart PC. How to Use Revelio: ------------------- Written by adnskrr Quick informative guide on how to get the most out of your Hogwarts Legacy experience. -=Revelio (RareSpell) Overpowered (Easyxp)=- Press “R” on your keyboard. If you hear a little “ding” sound, that means that there is a discoverable Field Guide Page nearby and it will be somewhat visible for a short time. Follow the sound or look for the flicker of the page and press “R” (your Revelio spell) when next to it to summon the page forth. -=Tips for Collecting Field Guide Pages=- Do not press “F” to pick them up! Make sure you use your Accio spell to slap that bad boy right into your Field Guide Book. -=Use Revelio on Your Broomstick=- While flying on your broomstick, press “R” to use your Revelio spell. Not only will it highlight interactable objects, it will show you the icons of nearby locations such as merchants, merlin trials, dungeons, etc. -=Why Is It Not Highlighting These ??? Ball Cuddling Monkeys?=- I found that the Demiguise holding moons were only being shown to me through Revelio (Press “R” to use) when it was night time, which is the only time you can interact with it. So if you want to collect Demiguise Moons it would be best to make sure it is nighttime. -=Tip for Getting to Nighttime=- Open your map by pressing “M” and press “F” to wait for time to pass by accepting the prompt by pressing “Spacebar”. This lets you skip from daytime to nighttime or vice versa. How to Make the Game Stable: ---------------------------- There are posts regarding the Exploit protection method that seem to be working for some but not others. It didn’t work for me but what did work was adding the other exe in the folder as well as the suggested one online. So, If you haven’t seen the guides out there on what to do I’ll explain it here too: * Press the windows key and search for Exploit Protection. * Click "Programme settings", click * "Add programme to customise" * Click “Choose exact file path”. * Now go to: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy * Add "HogwartsLegacy.exe" to exploit protection. * Scroll down until you see “Control flow guard (CFG)”. * Tick the box for “Override system settings”, set the toggle to "Off". This alone didn’t do anything for my game but then I did the exact same thing to: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\HogwartsLegacy.exe Now my game is performing so much better It’s honestly night and day! Hope this helps someone else. |
