Players can earn a maximum of 35 Talent Points in Hogwarts LegacyThe players are rewarded with a talent point each time they increase their wizarding level, starting from level 6.

As Hogwarts Legacy has a level cap of 340339, you cannot unlock all of the 48 talents in a single playthrough, so you need to be thoughtful of the skills you want to spend your talent points on.

1. How to get talent points in Hogwarts Legacy?

Players must complete the 18th main story quest titled “Jackdaw’s Rest” to unlock the talent points earning ability in Hogwarts Legacy.

To complete this quest, you must meet the ghost of Richard Jackdaw in the Forbidden Forest and follow him to a mysterious cave as he tries to lead you back to the place of his death.

At the end of the cave, you will find a room full of ancient magic known as the Map Chamber. 

This room has a portrait of Professor Rackham. Interact with the picture, and a cutscene will initiate. At the end of this cutscene, you will gain the ability to acquire talent points.

2. How to level up quickly in Hogwarts Legacy?

Players must earn XP to level up quickly in Hogwarts Legacy. XP can be gained by completing the main quests, side quests, the Wizards’ Field Guide challenges, and competing in Battle Arenas.

The main and side quests are self-explanatory. On the other hand, the Wizards’ Field Guide offers a set of exciting combat, exploration, and crafting challenges. Completing each of these challenges will reward you with a decent amount of HP. It is also the fastest way to gain HP in the game.

Battle Arenas are another form of challenge where players have to fend off enemy waves. It is a convenient method to gain XP quickly and practice your spells.

There are 3 Battle Arenas in Hogwarts Legacy. Here’s where you can find them:

  1. East section of North Ford Bog Floo Flame;
  2. Southeast section of Feldcroft; and
  3. North Hogwarts Region Floo Flame in the Forbidden Forest.

3. Can you reset talents in Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy does not allow players to reset their talent points. Once a talent point is spent on a skill, it cannot be changed later in the same gameplay. 

This feature can be frustrating, especially for those who are unsure of what talents are the best. Thus, saving the game before you spend your talent points is recommended so that you can make changes later.

4. What are the best talents to unlock in Hogwarts Legacy?

The best talents to unlock from each talent tree in Hogwarts Legacy are as follows:

  1. Confringo Mastery;

I. Confringo Mastery

Confringo Mastery, a spell tree talent, is an upgrade of Confringo that unlocks at a fairly early level of 5. 

It is a strong long-range bolt that deals damage on impact. Confringo will be your most reliable offense against all the enemies throughout the game.

III. Human Demiguise

Human Demiguise is a stealth talent in Hogwarts Legacy. It can be unlocked at level 5 if you have already unlocked Disillusionment.

This Room of Requirement talent can be unlocked at level 16 if you already have Maxima Potion.

It causes attacks to have additional increased damage and break enemy shields. This spell is a must-have to enhance your combat abilities to the maximum.

V. All Level 16 talents of Core Tree

Core talents increase the overall effectiveness of a character, so no matter what playstyle you are going for, having a strong core tree is essential.

Ideally, you should unlock all the 7 level 16 core talents.

  2. Stupefy Mastery – Enemies struck with Stupefy remain stunned for a longer period of time.
