Summary
A keen-eyedHogwarts Legacyfan has posted a surprisingly dark Duelling feat that asks the player to torture an unsuspecting enemy. Releasing in February 2023,Hogwarts Legacybecame the year’s best-selling game. The rich open-world RPG set in JK Rowling’s Wizarding World, proved a hit with fans thanks to its deep gameplay mechanics.
Duelling feats areoptional combat challenges built intoHogwarts Legacyintended to reward players each time they are archived through battle. They cannot be tracked through any in-game menus and randomly appear, but these feats are usually palatable, such as lifting an enemy off the ground or catching a thrown weapon. As one player has discovered, Duelling feats can sometimes become more violent and shocking as the game proceeds.
Going by the name of Severe_Risk_6839 on Reddit, the user has posted a Duelling feat that they believe should be for someone practicing the Dark Arts rather than a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. The feat in question is to torture an enemy while it is on fire, and it is certainly one of the darker feats players can take on. The feat does appear randomly withinHogwarts Legacy’s vast open world, and gamers can choose to ignore the challenge if they so wish. However, they would miss out on potentially valuable rewards.
Hogwarts Legacy Fan Highlights Dark Duelling Feat
The replies agree that setting an enemy alight and proceeding to torture the soul isn’t the mark of a standout student at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Some of the comments allude to the overalllack of a morality system withinHogwarts Legacy, as the game presents rather severe and shocking plot points at times. On top of this, the player always has the option of being able to choose a path toward the Dark Arts, which fans could interpret as the reason why the Duelling Feat exists in the first place.
It is worth noting that the torture challenge has been present inHogwarts Legacysince the game was first released in 2023. Most players will encounter tasks such as throwing a rock back at a troll or pushing enemies into exploding barrels, but the feat in question serves as a reminder that the Wizarding World can be a dark place.
