Welcome to Hogwarts Legacy Lumos Spell Guide. It is for players looking for all information about one of the Utility spells and how to use it.
Lumos Spell in Hogwarts Legacy!
Each spell has a core identity and belongs to a category. Some spells have a chance to advance or even change through the talent system as you spend talent points on them. There are over 20 slottable spells to choose from and many more practical ones that help with quests and exploration.
In Hogwarts Legacy, the Lumos Spell transfers your wand into a flashlight. It creates a small spark of light on the caster’s wand tip. It’s an extremely vital spell to learn for every wizard and adventurer because there will be a lot of situations where the player finds themselves in dark places. The spell can help you find objects, escape routes or even trigger some special events in the game. For example, a player can use the spell to lighten up a dark dungeon, so they can continue to travel through an area and look for clues.
How to learn Lumos in Hogwarts Legacy
Lumos is the first spell players will learn in Hogwarts Legacy. At the beginning of the game and series of engaging cutscenes, you’ll find yourself in a dark magical chamber, and it’s time to cast your first spell. That’s when the “spell learning menu” will display on the screen for the first time. All you need to do is follow the spell symbol on the screen with your “wand” – cursor and press the suggested default key on your keyboard or controller button in order to unlock the spell.
The spell will be automatically slotted to a free spot on your spell diamond in the lower right corner – it’s your spell’s quick slot menu. You can change the selection of spells in the quick slot menu at any time.
Just like all spells, Lumos has a cooldown, but it’s extremely short and less than a second.
When can I unlock the Lumos Spell?
You can unlock it during the Path to Hogwarts Main Quest
- Requirement: No requirements. It’s the tutorial quest
