Being able to get more Hogwarts Legacy spell slots soon becomes important. As you learn more magic to use you'll want to equip more to use as you play the game. You only start with four slots which can soon become limiting. So how to get more?
More slots means you can have more Hogwarts Legacy spells equipped, and much like Hogwarts Legacy gear slots, you'll always want as many as you can get. However, while the Hogwarts Legacy Merlin Trials will get you more gear slots, you'll need something else for spells.
Unlocking more Hogwarts Legacy spell slots is all down to the Talent system, which is basically a RPG skill trees. You'll have to be a fair into the Hogwarts Legacy story before you can start collecting the Talent points you need, but here's how to use them to get more Hogwarts Legacy spell slots once you can.
How do I carry more spells in Hogwarts Legacy?
To get more spell slots in Hogwarts Legacy, you will need to work through the main campaign until you unlock Talents (which is one of our key Hogwarts Legacy tips). These are additional abilities you can purchase using Talent points you earn as you level up. To do this faster complete challenges, missions, and sidequests to earn the XP you need. Check your Gear page and look at the upper-left corner of your screen if you're not sure which level you're at, or to see how much XP you need to get to the next level.
Once you unlock Talents, you will earn a Talent point each time you go up a level. You'll also immediately unlock one Talent point for every XP level you have reached after the fifth. This means that if you unlock Talents and you are already at Level 12, you will have seven points to spend.
How do I unlock Talents?
You will only unlock Talents a fair way into the game, after completing a main quest called Percival Rackham's Trial. This is a lengthy mission that will take place with Professor Fig, involving puzzles and battles against Pensieve Protectors, Guardians, Sentries, and Sentinels. Once you finish the final boss battle, talk to the painting of Rackham to unlock Talents.
Where are the spell slot upgrades in Talents?
To get more spell slots in Hogwarts Legacy you need to purchase the Spell Knowledge Talents from the Core skill tree. After unlocking Talents and opening it from the main menu, you will see there are five Talent branches to choose from:
- Dark Arts
- Core
- Spells
- Stealth
- Room of Requirement
Spell Knowledge is a Core Talent. If you have enough points, just go to the Core tab and select one of the three Spell Slot upgrades. They cost one Talent point each, but be careful: you cannot get these points back later, so be sure to check your options carefully before you choose.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling’s public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the Hogwarts Legacy controversy.
