A hilarious Hogwarts Legacy clip has shown a deer using a Merlin Trial as a rollercoaster. Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy are often criticized as one of the more boring elements of the game, but this deer has figured out a way to change that once and for all.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy on previous-gen consoles has brought gamers back to Avalanche Software's title, reminding players exactly what they loved about the game when it was first released a few months ago. It's hilarious little details such as the one seen in this clip that really bring this portrayal of the Wizarding World to life. After years in the dark, it really does seem the audience desire for more from the Harry Potter franchise is well and truly back. Meanwhile, away from video games, the recent announcement of a Harry Potter TV adaptation on HBO Max has reconfirmed that the series is here to stay.
The hilarious clip was posted to Reddit by user sugarisbae, and shows a deer having the time of its life during a Merlin Trial. As the player completes the solution to the Trial, it begins to spin with the deer on top, which could certainly be a dizzy experience for the animal. Since the game was first released, players have found many different ways to interact with Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy, and this new deer rollercoaster is certainly an interesting addition.
It's definitely one way to spice up the Merlin Trials. They're somewhat of a necessary evil in every Hogwarts Legacy playthrough, with players gaining some strong benefits by completing them. The issue is that there are simply too many of them, and they're extremely similar to one another. Ultimately, they just end up feeling like filler content rather than a meaningful addition to the game with a total of 95 for players to complete. It's no wonder that gamers are looking for any way to make them a little bit more interesting to complete.
Gamers are still looking forward to whatever is next for the game. Despite some Hogwarts Legacy cosmetic DLC being released recently, players are calling out for an expansion to the game. There's so much promise there that Avalanche Software has shown it has the ability to tap into, but right now it doesn't seem like it's happening. With the game recently passing the $1 billion sales revenue milestone, it seems almost unfathomable that Warner Bros. Doesn't intend to cash in on such a huge market, but it looks like players will be made to wait to see if anything is on the way.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, with a Switch port releasing July 25.
