While exploring the world ofHogwarts Legacy, the player will encounter several Bandit Camps in which some of Ranrok’s Loyalists reside. These goblins will attack if the player gets too close, but defeating them can become a pretty easy process if the player knows how to fight them.Disarming these foes and throwing their weapons back at themcan deal some significant damage, but figuring out how to do it can be tricky.

In order to be able to throw an enemy’s weapon back at them, the player must first know how to disarm their foes. The only way to do this is to castthe Expelliarmus spell, an extremely helpful spell that removes wands and weapons from the hands of those it is cast at.

To complete this assignment, the player will need tododge a total of ten incoming attacksanduse Incendio on enemies five times. Once this has been done, the player can return to Professor Hecat’s classroom, where they will learn Expelliarmus.

Catching And Throwing Disarmed Weapons In Hogwarts Legacy
Not all enemies inHogwarts Legacycarry weapons, so players might need to explore the world until they find some that do. Sincegoblinsaren’t allowed to carry wands, most tend to carry tools that can be used in close-quarter combat. These tools, when disarmed and thrown, can inflict some pretty serious damage, so players should prioritize fighting goblins if they wish to make use of the weapons they carry.
Goblins can be found pretty easily by exploring the map or progressing the main story, but those who wish to find a reliable place to face several should investigate theBandit Campsscattered across the map. The Medium Bandit Camp south of theNorthern South Sea Bog Floo Flameis a great place to find large groups of them.
While fighting goblins, the player cancast Expelliarmusto disarm them andthen press Z on the keyboardorR1/RB on the controller. Doing so will then cause the disarmed weapon to be thrown at whatever enemy the player is aiming at. Some goblins will defend themselves by conjuring colored shields. If this prevents the player from hitting their target with Expelliarmus, they should firstbreak the enemy’s shieldbefore trying again.
Hogwarts Legacyis available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. PS4 and Xbox One versions will release on April 4, and a Switch version will release on July 25.
