A trick for streamlining the collecting of beast materials in Hogwarts Legacy is a huge time-saver for players trying to upgrade their gear. The mechanic of rescuing and then caring for beasts in exchange for ingredients in Hogwarts Legacy is far less tedious than it appears.
The February 10 release of Hogwarts Legacy shattered all expectations, breaking sales records and garnering near-unanimous praise from review outlets. While the game is not without its issues, especially concerning optimization for the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy, by all accounts, Avalanche Software delivered on what many Harry Potter fans deemed to be their dream game. While there are no announced plans for DLC or a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, with its immense success in terms of revenue and reception, there is little doubt that Avalanche Software will continue its work within the Harry Potter IP.
A PSA posted to Reddit highlights an invaluable tip for cutting down on the time it takes to farm beast materials in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead of having to manually seek out each individual beast in the Room of Requirement's multiple vivariums, players can access the beast management screen from the main menu, then summon the specific beast in need of grooming or feeding, and finally collect that beast's materials straight from the beast management screen. This turns what was a rather tedious chore, albeit an adorable one, into a well-streamlined gear-upgrading mechanic. Even players who are rushing through the critical path in Hogwarts Legacy will want to interact with the beast management aspect of the game with this tip, as it makes the process immensely less time-consuming.
The multiple features in Hogwarts Legacy tied to the Room of Requirement came as a pleasant surprise to players. The ability to fully customize a space that provides comfort and utility imbues an extra layer of satisfying progression to the game. While equipable loot and currency remain the primary objective rewards for content scattered across Hogwarts and its surrounding areas, earning new furniture and other props for the Room of Requirement can feel just as rewarding. Players with a flair for design can get lost in the customization options to decorate their personal Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy.
While Hogwarts Legacy continues to accrue accolades in historic sales numbers and critical reception, players will continue to discover helpful new tips and techniques in the game. With an open world so expansive and brimming with secrets, new information will continue to be posted for weeks to come as players peel back additional layers to Hogwarts Legacy' s depth.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. PS4 and Xbox One ports are releasing April 4, whereas the Switch version is arriving July 25.
