Dueling feats in Hogwarts Legacy are small optional combat challenges intended to reward players each time they are executed correctly. They can't be tracked traditionally through the main menu, but players can look at their overall feat progress by navigating to challenges and then combat, and then scrolling down to "Complete Dueling Feats". Dueling feats will also appear on the screen as they are available in the bottom-right corner of the screen, just above the HUD controls. They will appear automatically when fighting an enemy related to the feat. The difficulty of each feat will depend on the particular enemy.
Successful completion of the feat will unlock the following gear appearance rewards: officer's uniform and hat, the Halloween pumpkin mask, the autumn festival coat, and finally, the demiguise mask. Players would be remiss to forget about the combat combos learned while completing dueling feats.
10 Destroy The Orb
The dueling feat Destroy the Orb as it's Charging Up is completed while fighting the Pensieve Guardian, a boss found near the end of Percival Rackham's trial quest during the main story in Hogwarts Legacy. While using ancient magic to complete the other dueling feat is fairly straightforward, the feat with the orb can be tricky.
To complete it, players must cast the same color spell as the orb. For example, if the guardian's orb is glowing yellow, cast Levioso (a "yellow" spell) to break the orb and complete the dueling feat.
9 Flip A Troll's Club
To complete this dueling feat, players must first find a troll. Trolls can be found in troll lairs and caverns. One such location is northeast of the Forbidden Forest, southwest of the North Ford Bog floo flame. Zoom in on the map and look for the little cave icon to find the lair.
After finding it, players should quickly cast the Flipendo spell right after dodging the troll's charge attack. It should cause the troll's club to fall to the ground just after it misses.
8 Hit A Troll With Its Own Boulder
After locating yet another troll, players should cast Protego and then immediately use Ancient Magic throw to chuck the boulder back at the troll to complete this dueling feat.
This one is tricky for one simple reason: it's hard to know when the troll's going to throw a boulder, and it's also hard to time Protego just right. Extending the distance from the troll to the player before it throws the boulder will give players more time to cast Protego. There will be a yellow warning symbol that flashes on the screen just before the troll tosses the boulder.
7 Launch An Enemy Into a Destructible Object
Players can achieve this dueling feat by getting any enemy to stand near a destructible object (such as a red explosive barrel), then by casting Glacius once the enemy is in front of it. After the enemy is frozen, they must cast Depulso, sending the enemy flying into the object.
Destructible objects don't have to be red barrels; they can be any objects that will break upon impact (and that players can throw into enemies with Ancient Throw), such as a vase or a wooden crate.
6 Bury A Matriarch Spider's Head Into The Ground
To trigger this dueling feat, find a Matriarch spider by locating the web symbol on the map, which indicates a spider lair. It can't just be any spider--it must be a matriarch spider.
To bury the matriarch spider's head into the ground, cast Arresto Momentum just as the spider readies its attack, which will pause or slow it down, then cast Descendo. The spells must be cast in quick succession. When done correctly, the giant spider will hilariously flip head-first into the ground.
5 Catch And Throw A Disarmed Weapon
This dueling feat can be used against any enemy who wields a weapon. Land an Expelliarmus cast at an enemy and just as the weapon soars into the air (but before it hits the ground), use Ancient Magic throw. The controls to land the throw should pop up on the screen, but players might need to look up to see the weapon--it can bounce out of display.
As long as the enemy's own weapon is thrown back at it, players will complete this dueling feat.
4 Flip a Dugbog
There are two dueling feats to flip dugbogs. To flip a dugbog while it's waiting to use its sneak attack, simply locate one, cast disillusionment and slink up to it without being noticed, and then cast Flipendo.
The second feat is to flip a dugbog onto its back. This can be achieved by simply casting any purple force spell at the dugbog, such as Depulso. Dugbogs have lairs just like trolls, which can be found by zooming in on the map and hovering over caves.
3 Launch A Burning Enemy Into Another Enemy
This feat can be achieved by finding two enemies close to one another but may take some time and careful manipulation to pull off.
To launch one burning enemy into another enemy, ignite the first enemy with either Confringo or Incendio, then, as long as the enemies are relatively lined up, use a purple force spell such as Depulso to launch the first enemy into the second one. The second enemy must ignite as well to complete the feat.
2 Slice A Dangling Dugbog
After finding a dugbog (reminder: dugbogs have lairs and also can be found in and near bodies of water), simply cast Levioso to launch it into the air. While the dugbog is levitated, cast Diffindo to slice it open.
Diffindo is unlocked after completing Professor Sharp's second assignment, which requires players to use both a Thunderbrew and an Invisibility potion against enemies. These potions can be crafted in the Room of Requirement, which is the cheaper option in the long run, or bought in Hogsmeade from J. Pippin's Potions.
1 Summon Two Enemies Simultaneously
This feat uses the word "summon" confusingly, but it essentially means the player has to pull two enemies forward at the same time.
This feat can only be completed by first unlocking Talents. Talents are unlocked by completing the main story quest "Jawdaw's Rest," which allows access to the talent tree. By putting one talent point into the 'Accio Mastery' talent, players can complete the feat by pulling two enemies who are side-by-side forward at the same time using the Accio spell as they normally would.
Hogwarts Legacy is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It will be released on the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2023.
