Hogwarts Legacy, Petrificus Totalus: How to Perform Stealth Attacks

When you can control the laws of physics and magic, you can do just about anything. Turn an enemy into an explosive barrel, send him flying off a cliff, or convert him into your ally – but why try so hard? Enter Petrificus Totalus. This is a unique spell in Hogwarts Legacy, the uniqueness of which is dictated by the fact that you will not learn it like other spells.

Conversely, Petrificus Totalus serves as this game's stealth attack, instantly taking out regular enemies and doing a ton of damage to bosses – provided you can sneak behind them. We'll tell you how to cast the spell and how you can power it up.

In order to execute this curse, you must avoid detection by your enemies. To do that, you'll need to know the Disillusionment spell, which you'll learn quite early on in the main story.

Summon it on yourself to approach the enemy from behind. While under the effects of the Disillusionment spell, it will be more difficult for enemies to detect you. If they start to detect you, a gray question mark will appear over their heads and slowly fill up. If it fills up, the gauge will turn yellow and enemies will start investigating – the gauge will then have to fill up again, this time faster. As soon as it fills up again, you will be discovered.

If the enemies are in a favorable position for stealth, you can cast a basic spell against a nearby wall to distract them. Provided you can stay hidden, simply go behind your target's back and press Square on PS5 or X on Xbox Series X|S to execute Petrificus Totalus.

If you target a normal enemy, it will instantly take them out, and assuming you stayed hidden while you executed it, you can continue to punch and knock down other enemies. Should the enemy be a boss then casting the spell will cut off a large chunk of their health, but at this point, you will be detected and have to fight.

THE TALENTS OF PETRIFICUS TOTALUS

The Stealth tree in the Talents section has some great boosts for those intending to use Petrificus Totalus. At lower levels, you can make yourself harder to detect and move faster while being covered by the Disillusionment spell.

What you really want is the ultimate power-up, which can only be unlocked at level 22 and up. This will cause the spell to finish all other nearby enemies while you are using Petrificus Totalus on one enemy. With this upgrade, you will be able to clear entire camps without getting caught.
