Petrificus Totalus

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 Petrificus Totalus Spell petrifies the target’s body, preventing them from moving. It doesn’t deal any damage, but whenever you face multiple enemies, the spell can immobilize one of them and give you time to defeat others first. It’s powerful enough to bind most enemies permanently, but more dangerous foes will only take some damage and then quickly break free from the effect.

Just like all combat spells in Hogwarts Legacy, it has a cooldown and thus can be part of the combo. The combos are powerful and sometimes complex combinations of spells and basic attacks to increase the overall damage.

Later in the game, after completing Jackdaw’s quest, players can unlock talents, one of which can upgrade the Petrificus Totalus Spell: Petrificus Totalus emanates an area od effect that can impact nearby enemies.
