In its large summer 2024 update,Hogwarts Legacybrought to all platforms of the game some features which were previously only available to PlayStation users. While most people were focused on the new questline that it added, there was also a potion that had been a pre-order bonus exclusive for PlayStation versions up until then. Something as subtle as a potion may have snuck in under the radar for most of these Hogwarts students, but its benefits are incredibly useful and worth a second look.
Being able to take on apersona of a student at HogwartsmakesHogwarts Legacya dream come true for many. The game includes numerous reasons to explore the castle and surrounding valley, with anincredible number of hidden items like chests spread aroundthe castle and countryside.
Reddit userHahaHarleyQu1nnshared their realization that finding things using Revelio often doesn’t get everything, but the potion Felix Felicis can fix that. Added to all versions of the game with theHogwarts Legacyupdate in June 2024,Felix Felicis will reveal the locations of large loot chests on the Minimap for one in-game dayand enhances success in the student’s endeavours.
Hogwarts Legacy Players Forget How Important Potions & Plants Can Be
Felix Felicis Can Make Collecting Much More Fun
Sure,every witch or wizard dreams of using the powerful spells that are taught at Hogwarts, but sometimes this can lead to overlooking the seemingly mundane use of potions. Using the spell Revelio can feel like it is plenty useful as players find hidden chests nearby when they cast it, and casting a spell is much cooler in general than simply drinking a potion a the start of the day.
Hogwarts Legacy: Every Potion Recipe (Ingredients & Boosts)
Potion recipes in Hogwarts Legacy give players specific combat boosts to their character should they create each brew with the right ingredients.
The act of growing or harvesting plants and collecting resources from animals inHogwarts Legacycanfeel a bit less exciting than killing enemies such as dark wizards or poachers. Brewing potions can also take quite a while, requiring players to return to their cauldrons after a certain length of time to find the results of their efforts. Despite this, the game includes thesepotions to be useful for combator even collecting treasures, as is the case with Felix Felicis.
Our Take: Multiple Playthroughs Can Make A Magical Difference
Hogwarts Legacy Has So Many Subtle Features To Pick Up On
Hogwarts Legacyis a game with a fairly linear story, so in a way, it can feel less important to do multiple plays with it than in games where there are multiple branching paths to take. I have found, however, that this gameincludes so many details in its designthat it is impossible to pick up on everything in just one playthrough. Besides the obvious reason of wanting to experience what houses outside my beloved Hufflepuff experience, there always seems to be something new that I didn’t see the first or second time around.
Developers put so many hidden featuresaround this virtual world of magic, many of which have nothing to do with anything that a player would be doing while following the campaign story. Players are often seen online to say that they have discovered something new, even on their fifth or sixth journey through the game. Now, with the use of Felix Felicis, many players may discover even more with chests hidden deep beneath the lake or in areas they never would have thought to cast Revelio inHogwarts Legacy.
