Learn how to win the final Crossed Wands duel in Hogwarts Legacy. Master spell combinations, counter enemy shields, and defeat your opponents.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing 'Secrets of the Restricted Section' and 'Tomes and Tribulations', travel to the Clock Tower Courtyard Floo Flame.
  2. 2
    Find Lucan Brattleby to initiate the final round of the Crossed Wands tournament.
  3. 3
    Choose to bring a companion (Natsai Onai or Sebastian Sallow) to help manage enemy aggro and deal damage.
  4. 4
    Be prepared to face four opponents. Your companion will draw some attention, but you will need to do most of the heavy lifting.
  5. 5
    Utilize the Accio + Incendio spell combination, learned in 'Spell Combination Practice 2', to quickly deplete enemy health.
  6. 6
    Counter red shields with Incendio, yellow shields with Levioso, and purple shields with Accio.
  7. 7
    Instead of directly attacking enemies with red shields, play passively. Wait for them to cast spells, then counter with Protego + Stupefy. This will break their barriers and leave them vulnerable.
  8. 8
    Use the lock-on feature to concentrate fire on specific targets.
  9. 9
    Prioritize eliminating enemies one by one to reduce the number of opponents you face.
  10. 10
    Continue to use Accio + Incendio whenever spell cooldowns allow, especially on undefended foes.
  11. 11
    As the odds shift to 2 vs 2, the fight should become significantly easier.
Tips
  • Completing 'Spell Combination Practice 2' beforehand is highly recommended to master the Accio + Incendio combo.
  • Incendio is currently the most powerful spell for dealing damage.
  • While new spells are available, enemies also have new shield types (red, yellow, purple).
  • Dodging is less effective for countering than using Protego.
  • This duel can be used to progress Professor Hecat’s Assignment 2 (land Incendio 5 times, dodge roll 10 times - Protego is better for the latter).
