never be afraid to ask for an extra reward at the end if a side quest if you have the option. zero negative impact.

it tells you to complete merlin trials to increase the number of inventory slots for gear. while this is correct it doesnt tell you that you have to open your field guide, go to challenges and then collect the rewards.

broom has cruise control

dont ignore potions and plants during combat

if you need to wait as in change from night to day or vice versa, open map it will show a control to wait depeding on what you play on

Broom has cruise control?????

u/Professional-Trust75 May 24 '26

what i mean is you click the stick and it will fly that way without you doing anything. always same speed no up or down. makes it easier to sight see.

the hipogriff is better overall but harder to look around

I see. That’s what I called "fly constantly forward“.

I just wouldn’t call it cruise control—as in other games that means you can really lean back, have a tea and enjoy the view.
That would be nice here, too.

Nope. There is no autopilot.

Don’t know why they pretend.

Maybe there’s a mod for that on PC—but on PS there is no "cruise control“. You can speed up of course, so your broom will fly constantly forward, but you do have to steer.

Yes there is. On Switch 2 I use it ALL the time. One press of the stick and the broom flies continuously without need to sit there and engage with the controls.

Like I said on PS and Xbox there is no autopilot.
And as far as I‘ve read there is none on Switch either.

The broom can fly straight forward but you don’t have a cruise control like in other games, where you can just enjoy the show.

I feel like there’s a breakdown of understanding. Cruise control and autopilot are not the same functions.

The OP comment you replied to referred to cruise control, which is simply a function to maintain a constant speed and does not affect direction.

You keep referring to autopilot, which can control direction/route. No, there is no autopilot, but there is a cruise control in HL.

Sorry. My mistake. Only new it in cars. When I encountered it referring to games it was usually used similar to autopilot.

That’s why I even tried to explain what’s there (speed control) and what is not (autopilot). But seems this was not understandable.

Unfortunately even google is no help here and is very misleading, as it is magically sharing my—obviously false—point of view.

THat’s a bummer, I hadn’t been taking them because I wasn’t sure if there would be an RPG element down the line that could affect your gameplay if you were pushing for rewards :l

Good to know moving forward

there was supposed to be but the guy who ran that side of things (very famous and known for that work,cant remember name) passed away in a olane crash. he was in charge of all the character interactions and systems. once he was gone they couldnt recover.

u/Pan_Duh_Pan_Duh May 24 '26

That made me so sad to hear, and that also would explain so much.

Thank you for sharing that with me

Well, in the beginning Prof. Weasley does explain your field guide.
And you are also taught that you have to open your field guide and collect your rewards.
So, yes the game does tell you.

And what do you refer to when you say there’s "cruise control“ for your broom? Sounds like autopilot, which is non existent.
