Conquer the Coastal Broom Trial in Hogwarts Legacy! Learn how to beat Imelda's time, navigate the rings, and use speed boosts to win this challenging flying quest.

Alright, so you've been doing some flying quests for Albie Weekes, huh? To get to the Coastal Broom Trial, you first need to finish his other two flying quests, 'Flight Test' and 'Sweeping the Competition.' Oh, and make sure you've wrapped up the main story quest 'In the Shadow of the Mine.' Once all that's done, Albie will ping you to meet him at Spintwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade. He's got another broom upgrade for you, but it'll set you back 4,000 Gold. Yeah, it's a bit steep, but you gotta pay to play, right?

After you've bought the upgrade, Albie wants you to test it out at his latest broom trial. This one, the Coastal Broom Trial, is a real trek – it's way down on the southern coast, west of Clagmar Castle in the Clagmar Coast region. So, saddle up and get ready for a bit of a flight!

Walkthrough:

When you finally get to the Coastal Broom Trial, find Imelda Reyes to kick things off. Your goal here is to beat her time, which is currently sitting at a pretty precise 2:42:42. You'll be flying through a total of 29 rings, making this the longest trial you've faced so far. Don't sweat it too much if you miss a ring, though – each one you miss will add a 3-second penalty. Honestly, as long as you're generally sticking to the course, none of the rings are super tricky to hit. Keep an eye out for those speed boost bubbles scattered around the course; they're super helpful for keeping your momentum up and making the flight smoother. While they aren't strictly necessary to beat Imelda's time, hitting at least a few of them will give you a nice cushion in case you mess up a ring or two. We found that hitting about half the bubbles and not missing any rings was more than enough to beat her time by about 20 seconds, and we weren't even trying that hard!

Even if you're not the most confident flyer, you should still be able to beat Imelda's time as long as you're careful not to miss too many rings. Once you cross the finish line and snag the win, have a quick chat with Imelda. Then, head back to Albie to let him know you aced the trial and wrap up the quest!
