How To Get & Use Flipendo In Hogwarts Legacy

Learn how to unlock the Flipendo spell by completing Professor Garlick's Assignment 2 and master its juggling technique to control enemies in combat in Hogwarts Legacy.

Alright, so you're looking to add Flipendo to your spellbook in Hogwarts Legacy? It's a pretty neat Force spell that's all about control rather than raw damage. Think of it as a way to keep enemies exactly where you want them while you or your friends dish out the heavy hits.

How to Unlock Flipendo:

To get your hands on Flipendo, you'll need to progress through the main story a bit. Specifically, you have to finish 'The Map Chamber Quest'. Once that's done, keep an eye on your Owl Post – Professor Garlick will send you a new assignment, 'Professor Garlick’s Assignment 2'. This is your ticket to learning Flipendo. For the assignment, you'll need to grow and harvest some Fluxweed, and also have Chinese Chomping Cabbages, Venomous Tentacula, and Mandrakes ready. You can buy these from shops or grow them yourself if you've got the gardening setup.

How to Use Flipendo Effectively:

Now, Flipendo itself doesn't do any damage, so don't expect to win fights just by spamming it. Its real power comes from controlling the battlefield. The best way to use it is to follow up a damage spell, like Expelliarmus or Confringo. Hit an enemy with one of those, then immediately use Flipendo to keep them juggled in the air. You can even throw in a Glacius to freeze them for a bit longer, giving you more time to deal with other threats or set up your next combo.

What's great about Flipendo is its super quick cooldown. This means you can keep that juggle going almost non-stop, whether you're facing a single tough opponent or a whole crowd. It’s a fantastic spell for controlling groups and keeping them off balance while you focus on taking them down.

It's a bit of a bummer that there's no Flipendo Mastery upgrade in the game. Imagine how much more useful it could be if you could extend that juggle time! Still, even without it, Flipendo is a top-tier control spell that you'll definitely want in your arsenal.
