How To Catch And Throw Disarmed Weapons In Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is a new open-world action-adventure game set within the Harry Potter universe. Players will get to explore Hogwarts Castle and its grounds as they learn powerful magic spells and encounter magical creatures. Part of the fun of this game is the ability to fight enemies to gain XP and rewards. However, one of the more interesting features is the ability to catch and throw disarmed weapons at your foes. This guide will explain everything you need to know about catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy.

Step 1: Unlock Expelliarmus

The first step to catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy is to unlock the Expelliarmus spell. This spell will allow you to disarm your enemies and take their weapons for yourself. To do this, you will first need to complete the Secrets of the Restricted Section main quest, after which you will unlock Professor Hecat's Assignment 2. This is a challenging task that requires you to dodge a total of ten incoming attacks and use Incendio on enemies five times. When you have completed this Assignment, you will be able to return to Professor Hecat's classroom, where you will learn the Expelliarmus spell. 

Step 2: Unlock Ancient Magic Throw Expertise

The second step to catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy is to unlock the Ancient Magic Throw Expertise Talent. This Talent will allow you to throw the weapons you have taken from your enemies back at them. To unlock this Talent, you will need to select the Core subsection in the Talents menu, hover the cursor over the lowest Talent slot on the left-hand side and spend one of your Talent points. Once you have done this, you will be able to use the Ancient Magic Throw Expertise Talent to catch and throw disarmed weapons.

Step 3: Find Goblin Enemies

The third step to catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy is to find enemies for fighting who carry weapons. Most enemies will carry wands, but not goblins. These pesky creatures tend to carry tools that can be used in close-quarter combat instead. To find goblins for fighting, you will need to explore the world and progress through the main story or head to one of the many Bandit Camps scattered across the map. A great place to find them is the Medium Bandit Camp south of the Northern South Sea Bog Floo Flame.

Step 4: Cast Expelliarmus and Throw Weapons

Once you have your enemies in your sights, you can use the Expelliarmus spell to disarm them and take their weapons. Once you have disarmed an enemy, you can then press Z on the keyboard or R1/RB on the controller to throw the weapon back at them. Some enemies will defend themselves by conjuring colored shields, which will prevent you from hitting them with Expelliarmus. If this happens, you should first break their shield before trying again.

Conclusion

Catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy is a great way to deal some serious damage to your enemies. To do this, you will first need to unlock the Expelliarmus spell by completing Professor Hecat's Assignment 2. You will then need to unlock the Ancient Magic Throw Expertise Talent in the Talents menu and find goblins for fighting who carry weapons. Once you have done this, you can cast Expelliarmus to disarm them and take their weapons. Finally, you can press Z on the keyboard or R1/RB on the controller to throw them back at your enemies. With this guide, you now know everything you need to know about catching and throwing disarmed weapons in Hogwarts Legacy.
