Hogwarts Legacy tells the story of a young fifth-year student during their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Shortly after they arrive at the famed wizarding school, they are tasked with attending various classes and completing schoolwork, but they are eventually given some freedom to explore the world outside the castle, where they can encounter a variety of unique enemies.
While exploring the world of Hogwarts Legacy, the player will encounter multiple magical beasts. While most of these creatures can be captured and returned to the Room of Requirement, a select few will become aggressive when approached. Dugbogs are no exception and can be quite difficult to defeat, but it is possible to render them vulnerable by levitating them at a particular moment.
What Are Duelling Feats In Hogwarts Legacy?
While fighting enemies in Hogwarts Legacy, players usually be given the chance to perform and complete Duelling Feats. Duelling Feat prompts will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen upon initiating a battle and will detail certain moves that can be performed while facing certain foes. While fighting Dugbogs, the player can be tasked with levitating one by its tongue, and though it's possible to win the battle without doing so, completing Duelling Feats like this can reward the player with cosmetic upgrades.
Levitating a Dugbog by its tongue is arguably one of the trickiest Duelling Feats to complete in all of Hogwarts Legacy, especially because the game doesn't explain how to do it.
Where To Find Dugbogs In Hogwarts Legacy
Upon gaining access to the world outside Hogwarts Castle, the player can feel free to explore to their heart's content. Sadly, without a broom, seeing everything the world has to offer can take time, so players should complete the Flying Class main quest before delving too far away from the castle if they wish to save time.
Dugbogs tend to reside mostly along shores and in marsh-like areas. Because of this, the player will likely encounter several while exploring. The best way to find a group of them, however, is to travel to a Dugbog Lair, a dangerous location in which multiple reside. The handiest Dugbog Lair to reach in Hogwarts Legacy can be found by fast-traveling to the Northern South Sea Bog Floo Flame and following the shore southwest.
Dugbogs can be pretty dangerous foes, especially during the early game, so players should be sure to bring a few Wiggenweld Potions with them before entering any of their domains.
How To Levitate A Dugbog By Its Tongue In Hogwarts Legacy
The best way to approach defeating a Dugbog in Hogwarts Legacy is for the player to maintain a safe distance at all times. This can be tricky as these enemies tend to move quite quickly, but it's more than possible if the player has unlocked the Swift ability in the Talents section of the main menu.
To levitate a Dugbog, the player will need to cast Levioso at one while its tongue is out of its mouth. Seeing as Dugbogs tend to throw their tongues at the protagonist quite frequently, this shouldn't be too challenging, but figuring out the timing can take some work.
To ensure the player has enough time to cast Levioso at the Dugbog while its tongue is out, they should equip Levioso to their primary spell set and be prepared to cast it at all times. If Levioso doesn't lift the Dugbog during its first cast, the player should dodge roll away and prepare to cast again. So long, as Levioso is used when the Dugbog's tongue is out or when the beast is preparing its yellow attack, the Dugbog will be lifted into the air and held there for a brief moment.
If done successfully, the player will be able to dish out some easy damage, while also completing the Levitate a Dugbog by its Tongue Duelling Feat.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. PS4 and Xbox One versions will release on April 4, and a Switch version will release on July 25.
