How to Learn Disarming Charm ‘Expelliarmus’ in Hogwarts Legacy

I'm going to need your wand, thank you very much.

One thing I always wondered is: if you install a wrist strap to your wand, is Expelliarmus rendered useless? I’ll just leave that question there for you to think about it. Anyway, learning spells in Hogwarts Legacy is oftentimes preceded by doing some favor, or even getting to a specific moment of the story. Today, we will deal with one case of the former, and a very special one. Believe me, you won’t want to miss this. Unless you are a Dark Wizard, of course. They barely use this spell in favor of more deadly ones. But that doesn’t make this charm less iconic. Without further ado, here is how to learn the Disarming Charm ‘Expelliarmus’ in Hogwarts Legacy.

How to Learn Disarming Charm ‘Expelliarmus’

Expelliarmus is quite a famous and well-known spell, often used by the protagonists of the Harry Potter franchise and good wizards in general. This spell has the ability to disarm the wizard you are battling with, making the receptor of the spell really vulnerable. You can also remember Expelliarmus as the spell that determined who was the true owner of The Elder Wand. Whoever disarmed the truthful owner of the wand, gained the loyalty and connection with the most powerful wand in the Wizarding World. If that doesn’t sell this spell, I don’t know what will.

Complete Hecat’s Assignment 2

In order to learn the Disarming Charm, you will have to complete Professor Hecat’s Assignment 2. She will instruct you to dodge-roll to avoid enemies a number of 10 times. Additionally, you will have to use Incendio five times. Go ahead and use these spells with some creatures in the wild. Alternatively, you can also engage in a Cross Wands battle.

After all, Professor Hecat knows all about the supposedly secret battle club. Once finished, head back to Professor Hecat and she will teach you Expelliarmus, the Disarming Charm.
