A Comprehensive Guide to Flying with Brooms in Hogwarts Legacy
Are you ready to soar through the wizarding world on a magical broomstick? In Hogwarts Legacy, you can experience the thrill of flying on your trusty broom, exploring the vast open world, and reaching new heights. With various styles to choose from, you can customize your flying experience to suit your taste.
Accessible and Upgradeable: What Makes Brooms Special in Hogwarts Legacy
Broomsticks are not only an exciting way to travel but also offer endless possibilities for exploration. With the ability to reach great heights and accelerated speeds, you'll be able to discover hidden areas and secrets that would be hard to access on foot. Moreover, brooms can be used endlessly, allowing you to travel without worrying about stamina or fuel.
How to Unlock and Equip Your First Broom
To access and equip your first broom, you'll need to complete your first Flying Class at Hogwarts. This can be achieved by progressing through the main story. Upon completing the quest, you'll be able to purchase a broom in Hogsmeade.
To equip your broom, follow these steps:
- PS5 and Xbox: Press the front left bumper to open the wheel and select your broom.
- PC: Press the Tab key to open the wheel and select your broom.
- Nintendo Switch: Open the menu using the + button, then head to the Gear page to equip your broom. Once equipped, press L and A to hop on.
Important Restrictions to Note
There are certain areas where you won't be able to use your broom:
- You can't fly while inside buildings or towns.
- An icon near the HUD's mini-map will appear if you're unable to fly in certain areas.
Upgrading Your Broom for Enhanced Performance
Upgrading your broom can enhance its performance without replacing it entirely. To unlock the first upgrade, complete the Flying Test quest for Albie Weeks, and purchase the upgrade at Spintwitches Sporting Needs for 1,000 gold.
To unlock additional upgrades, beat Iselda's record by taking the Flying Test again. Simply talk to Mr. Weeks to initiate these quests.
Switching Brooms: Exploring Different Styles and Upgrades
Once you've unlocked your first broom, you can explore different models and upgrades. To switch brooms:
- Open the equipment menu and choose the broom you want to equip from your Gear.
- Use the Change Appearance option in your gear menu to customize your broom's appearance without changing its stats.
Brooms offer an exhilarating way to travel in Hogwarts Legacy, combining the thrill of flying with the magic of the wizarding world. Whether you're exploring the open world or racing to your next quest, your trusty broom will be your faithful companion.
