Wizard's Field Guide and Pages

One of the tools the main character has at their disposal in order to "catch up" to the students who have already been at Hogwarts for four years is the Wizard's Field Guide.

It has been confirmed that this special book is normally housed at the Ministry of Magic, but has been provided to the main character by Deputy-headmistress Weasley. However, when she hands it to the main character the pages explode out of the book and scatter around the game world.

Collections

One example of a "collectible" is the accio pages we find around the castle. These opportunities are covered in the "Collections" page of this blog.

Gear

Unlike the "inventory" menu, which provides the user with a full list of everything the user is holding, the "gear" section limits that list specifically to wearable items such as masks, shirts, pants, socks, glasses, etc. and then allows the user to alter their appearance.

Inventory

This is a list of everything the user is currently holding. No further details are available at this time.

Map

This is presumably a map of the open world and the main character's location within it.

Owl Post

This will maintain plot-related messages received via owl from NPCs in the game. It is unclear if/how a user can respond to such communications.

Quests

This maintains a list of both main and side quests. It was confirmed by Portkey Games that these are grouped into "trees" that branch out and selecting any quest in particular will create a "golden path" on the mini-map to the next destination for people who enjoy hints.

Talents and Level

Throughout the game, the main character will earn experience points (XP) that contribute toward an overall "level". Each level will allow users to unlock bigger and better skills. In Hogwarts Legacy the skills are called "talents". Currently we have zero information on individual talents or any talent trees that may be contained within this section.

Settings

On January 12, 2023, Portkey Games added a blog post to their player support area discussing some of the settings within the game. These included color-blindness, camera shake, and other graphics, audio, and gameplay settings. It has also been confirmed by Alan Key (Creative Director at Avalanche) that we will be able to hide the on-screen mini-map if preferred.

Challenges

The "Challenges" subsection of the Wizard's Field Guide is subdivided into the following:

  • Combat
  • Quests
  • Exploration
  • Field Guide Pages - Some of the pages of this very book are missing and can be found throughout Hogwarts. Casting "Accio" on a page will pull that page back into the book. There are 100 such pages hidden throughout the school, some of which require the spell "Revelio" to actually see.
  • Room of Requirement - The room doesn't just give you things that you require, it also has requirements of its own.

Missing Page Locations

Those lost pages are scattered around Hogwarts Castle and even out into the world at large. Find them using "Revelio" and return them to the book using "Accio". Doing so gains the main character 80 experience points per page. There are a grand total of at least 200 pages to be found. Here is a list of currently-known page locations:

General Breakdown

  • Hogwarts: 150 pages
  • Hogsmeade: 55 pages
