The Lumos spell in Hogwarts Legacy will benefit you throughout the game to not only provide you with ample light in dark situations, but also to help you in solving puzzles that are sprinkled throughout the castle and the world surrounding it.
I had a short conversation with a friend about how I wouldn’t want to be roaming the halls of Hogwarts all alone at night because the creepy factor would be through the roof. We mentioned the hazards of a portal we might step into, or a trap floor into an unknown area. Plus someone who’s not on your friend’s list could be following you without you even realizing it.
I’m not even talking about ghosts, either.
If Harry can get his hands on an invisibility cloak, you know other people have something of the same wardrobe. And if not, there’s the invisibility potion that you can craft in-game as well. If they don’t have either, well, we’re talking about roaming the halls at night, so perhaps they know the Disillusionment spell.
Actually, imagine stepping into the Great Hall where the Sorting Hat does its thing. It’s empty, but all those lit candles remain.
And suddenly, no more light.
That’s a bit different than you not paying your electrical bill and the electricity shutting off. Your hairs are gonna stand on end if a lit area goes dark at the drop of a dime, because that typically means Bad Things are happening.
Luckily, you’ve got Lumos.
The light-up-the-area-around-me-before-I-crap-myself spell.
While that’s all meant to be a bit of a joke, Lumos is an important spell, and possibly a vital one. As such, it’s one of the very first ones we get a handle on.
How to get Lumos
You get Lumos during the first quest (The Path to Hogwarts). At one point you’re thrust into darkness after pressing a glowing pattern in an otherwise inescapable vault.
It’s here where Professor Fig will cast Lumos, lighting up the area around you.
Once you reveal a statue above its reflection, the reflection follows the light coming from Fig’s wand. This is where you get the Lumos spell and learn how to cast it.
Lumos is a spell that you can’t not know during Hogwarts Legacy. Unless you decide the game isn’t for you and you walk away before completing the first quest.
