Nevertheless, like most games,Hogwarts Legacyfeatures some super-hard achievements that can be particularly tricky to unlock, especially for players going in blind. These achievements will test the magical abilities of players, their determination, and sometimes their ingenuity.
7Spilled Milk - Use Flipendo Ten Times To Tip One Cow Or Several
Spilled Milkis by far the most hilarious achievement inHogwarts Legacyand while it isn’t that hard for players who know about it, the sheer absurdity of it means that few players would unlock it playing blind.
Once players havelearned Flipendo from Professor Garlick, they will be able to head out into the Highlands to find a cow and flip it ten times, thus spilling the milk. As funny as this may be, players should probably avoid doing this in front of Poppy Sweeting as she might not feel the same way.
6A Forte For Achievement - Reach Level 40
Level 40 is the maximum level that players can reach inHogwarts Legacy, andit is quite a grind to get there. Thankfully those who persevere will get theA Forte For Achievement.

There are many elements that make this a hard achievement as players must first locate the places in the game where all these creatures can be found, before actually capturing them with the Nab-sack. For the more elusive creatures and especially on harder difficulties, this is no easy task.

There are many different types of trials and players will need to use a wide variety of spells to solve them, but the hardest thing about this achievement is the sheer number of them.
Completing Merlin Trials is also one of theExploration Challenges inHogwarts Legacy, meaning that players will also be rewarded with extra gear slots. Having extra room in the inventory means that players won’t have to visit vendors as often to sell their gear.

These are Potions, Enemies, Appearances, Revelio Pages, Beasts, Traits, Wand Handles, Conjurations, Ingredients, and Brooms.
Some of these, which only need a handful like Potions and Ingredients, are easy enough and will be collected over the course of the game naturally, but finding all 140Conjuration items inHogwarts Legacyis no small feat.
