How To Unlock Flying Broom
What can be more mesmerizing than exploring the fascinating world by wandering in the sky? Right? And this can only be possible for those who own a magical flying broom. Well, it’s your time to get one, and we will tell you how.
Flying Class Quest
First, you will have to finish the Jackdaw’s Rest main story quest, as this will enable you to begin the other quest, which is the “Flying Class.” As the name says, it is a class where you will learn about broom controls and mechanics that will assist you in flying later on.
Miss Kagwa will provide you with two objectives, and after accomplishing them, you can go on a flying tour with Everett Clopton. You can do it by accepting the offer of taking the castle tour.
Spinwitches Sporting Needs shop
Now the next task is to buy the broomstick. For this, head to the Spinwitches Sporting needs shop in the Hogsmeade. If you try to visit this shop before the Flying Class test, you won’t find it open, so it’s no use coming here without finishing that quest. Get inside the shop and purchase a broom from Albie Weekes.
There will be a variety of brooms available at his shop, so pick the one you like the most, as all of them perform similarly. These brooms only differ in their appearances. This will cost you 600 Galleons.
In case of low money, you can always sell your gear that seems useless, or there are some chests that provide you sufficient amount of gold, like Eye chests.
How To Equip The Broom
After purchasing the flying broom, use the following commands to equip it: press the L1 and circle for PlayStation, LB and B for Xbox, and L+A buttons for Switch. Go for the right commands depending on your gaming platform.
To boost up the speed, hold the LT/L2 commands. As you go on more height, your boost will become limited as you will have to recharge it after some time. One thing to note down here is that there are certain areas where you are not allowed to fly.
These areas include caves, castles, dungeons, and Hogsmeade. You must move out of these locations to take a flight properly.
Where To Use
The flying broom in Hogwarts Legacy can be used not only for fun and open-world exploration, but you will need it in future quests or objectives. Such as, you can complete Flight the Good Flight achievement by playing the races in which you will have to beat the time score of an individual.
Best Flying Broom
There are 13 brooms in the Hogwarts Legacy. All of them vary in their designs but offer the same functionality. Some may provide better speed and handling than the rest, but still, on the basis of how they all work, there is no significant difference.
And while speaking of the best flying broom, it entirely depends upon your choice. You can upgrade it to enhance its overall working.
How To Upgrade The Flying Broom
Purchasing the broom will unlock the side quest: “Flight Test.” Also, Albie Weekes will ask you for upgrades, and if you agree, he will guide you to Quidditch Pitch. There you will have to meet Imelda Reyes and beat her record.
She is a competitive character in Hogwarts Legacy and challenges the players during this quest to have a competition once their flying broom is unlocked. No doubt, she is an impressive student, but with the right performance, you can gain victory.
Communicate with Imelda to begin the challenge. It involves flying through rings; it starts from the Quidditch Pitch and ends at a cave close to Hogsmeade Station. Apart from the manual boost, you can get a good increase in speed through the golden-colored bubbles that will be placed inside the rings.
So, make sure that you may not miss any of them. If you successfully score more than her and win the challenge, then return to the Spinwitches Sporting Needs shop. Have a conversation with Mr. Weekes and tell him how you performed while doing a challenge.
He will begin the flying broom upgrading process, and after some time, you will be notified when the upgrade will be ready. Once again, make your way to the shop, and there will be an option to buy the upgrade for 1000 Gold.
This was all for the first time upgrading the broom. However, you can do it two more times and have to do two other challenges. The price of each upgrade will also increase accordingly, so get yourself enough gold to upgrade your flying broom instantly.
