Gryffindors in Hogwarts Legacy 2 Might Get Epic Exclusive Quest with Iconic Weapon

by

In its fully unlocked state, allowing players to delve deeply with every spell and feature needed for advancement in the open world, Hogwarts Legacy becomes an impressive undertaking for those aiming for a complete, 100% achievement. This isn’t just about completing the Field Guide challenges, but also meticulously searching every corner and filling out every collection catalog as well. Such a comprehensive search can easily turn this already lengthy action-RPG into a significant time investment if one desires it to be; however, players have enough tasks on their hands already when they take up every side quest and companion quest in Hogwarts Legacy.

In addition to the side mission focusing on Ravenclaw’s Amit Thakkar, the companion quests delve deeply into specific characters from Slytherin, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff houses in the magical world of Hogwarts. Among these, Sebastian Sallow’s journey offers a more detailed experience as it allows players to master the three Unforgivable Curses. This journey becomes even more engaging if players have previously encountered Sebastian and his friend Ominis Gaunt during their time as a Slytherin student. However, while individual house quests like Richard Jackdaw’s provide an enjoyable reason to switch houses in different game sessions, a unique quest exclusive to Gryffindor in the sequel of Hogwarts Legacy could be exceptional, especially with the legendary weapon: the sword of Godric Gryffindor.

Hogwarts Legacy’s House-Exclusive Quests are an Example of Good Concept, Poor Execution

In Hogwarts Legacy, exclusive missions tied to the Houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw) were a clever approach since it enticed players to choose a House for their character and explore the unique tasks associated with each. However, due to their brief duration and minimal impact, these House-exclusive quests are not particularly memorable. Hopefully, if the idea is revisited in a future installment of Hogwarts Legacy, they will be more extensive and engaging.

In the unique adventure known as Hufflepuff’s exclusive quest within Hogwarts Legacy, players are escorted to Azkaban where they encounter Dementors. This brief yet exhilarating deviation stands out as the most astonishing among all, offering an unforgettable thrill.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 Has an Opportunity to Let Players Feel Like Worthy Gryffindors

In the world of Harry Potter, the enchanted sword of Godric Gryffindor, a symbol of bravery and valor, has been wielded by worthy Gryffindors such as Harry Potter, who used it to slay the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and Neville Longbottom, who employed it against Nagini during the Battle of Hogwarts. If a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is ever created, it would be thrilling if it featured a Gryffindor-centric quest where the player summons Godric Gryffindor’s gleaming and adorned sword in times of crisis, perhaps during a boss battle, allowing players to fight with the sword instead of their usual wands.

In the game “Batman: Arkham City“, the final showdown with the villain Clayface was won by equipping Batman with Talia al Ghul’s sword as his weapon of choice.

This feature would be fantastic as it provides a distinctive gameplay experience only for Gryffindors, which other houses won’t have access to. Additionally, this could mean that the Gryffindor students might come across an intimidating creature not found in the main game. While using a basilisk would be too obvious a reference to “the Chamber of Secrets“, there are countless terrifying creatures within the wizarding world that have yet to make an appearance in “Hogwarts Legacy“. These could potentially appear in future expansions or sequels. After defeating this boss, the sword would be taken away, but if the house-specific quest had a suitable length, it might still offer a satisfying reward.

Additionally, it might be wise to allow players to decide whether to engage a hidden creature, which could result in them earning the sword as recognition for their valiance. To make each house’s quest equally engaging, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw should all have unique challenges. Wielding the Sword of Gryffindor would be the most meaningful and respectful way to honor one of Hogwarts’ most esteemed houses.
