Like any role playing game Hogwarts Legacy uses a system of character improvements, in this case, they are called talents. And whether you’re looking to make your character the cruelest among Dark Arts users or spend most of your time in the Room of Requirement, you’ll need to know how to unlock talents.

Hogwarts Legacy Talents Explained

Talents are buffs for potions, spells, health, and many other passive traits. Unlocking talents means playing through the main story of Hogwarts Legacy until you complete the 15th story mission, titled “jacdaw rest“. It is available after completing “The Search for the Lost Pages”.

During Jacdaw’s break, the talent page will automatically unlock.

How to upgrade talents

Talents can be upgraded by spending talent points. Talent points are earned naturally as you progress through the game. Once you reach level 5, each level after that will grant 1 talent point. Be careful, however: you can’t respect talent progressions. Once the points are spent, they disappear.

It’s worth noting that not all talents can be unlocked in a single game of Hogwarts Legacy.

Certain spells, such as Unforgivable Curses, are unlocked through various quests. You will need to cast these spells before you can acquire and upgrade them. Other prerequisites are for leveled masteries, like needing Sense of Secrecy 1 before you can unlock Sense of Secrecy 2.

With that, you now know how to unlock talents in Hogwarts Legacy, which is a relatively simple process. Go to our full roster of talent to see them all, or go to our guide center for more tips.
