One of the trickier achievements in Hogwarts Legacy is Finishing Touches. For this challenge, you must use Ancient Magic on every type of enemy in the game.
That’s a lot easier said than done, so here’s our guide for the best way to complete the Finishing Touches achievement.
How to use Ancient Magic on an enemy in Hogwarts Legacy
To unlock and use Ancient Magic in Hogwarts Legacy, you must first visit the town of Hogsmeade as part of the main storyline. Once you do, you will be given a quick tutorial on how to use this powerful magic.
Here’s how you activate Ancient Magic on each platform:
- Xbox: LB+RB
- PlayStation: L1+R1
- Switch: L+R
- PC: X
To generate Ancient Magic in combat, you’ve got to deal damage to enemies. After you’ve done enough damage, you’ll see the little blue bars in the bottom right of the screen start to fill up. When you’ve got a full bar, you can unleash a blast of Ancient Magic on your foes. If you want to increase how much Ancient Magic you can build up, you’ll have to find and complete Ancient Magic Hotspots scattered throughout the game’s open world.
