TheHarry Potteruniverse has long enthralled a dedicated fanbase with its expansive list of seminal stories and the blockbuster films that followed them. The franchise quickly cemented its place in pop culture by seamlessly blending reality with fantasy, creating a complex and intriguing Wizarding World that thrived (and struggled) right under the nose of the muggles. But, for many wizarding aficionados, being able to read and see the world of wizards was not enough. It’s no surprise then thatHogwarts Legacywas such a smash hit when it came out earlier this year.
Exploring Hogwarts and the grounds surrounding it as a first-year student inHogwarts Legacyis incredibly exciting for people who have followed the series from its inception, and even for those who haven’t. However, it turns out that some of the trials and tribulations that the students face can be a bit harder than expected. Whether it’s facing hordes of spiders, trolls with seemingly unending health pools, or well-coordinated bandit attacks in the Battle Arena, there’s always something to keep first-year wizards on their toes. Like in any RPG, facing these threats can be a lot easier when players are equipped with the best gear available. Luckily, inHogwarts Legacy, being equipped with the best gear is as easy as wearing the highest stats, but there some things players should keep in mind.
