I'll still make use of these bitey boys at some point, I'm sure, so I wove Herbology 3 into a few bits of clothes just in case. When I finally found the Herbology 3 trait locked in a chest, nestled away at the back of the very last bandit encampment on the whole stinking map, I cheered. Although I can definitely see the appeal of Herbology 3 for anyone doing an Unforgivable-free run, or if you're struggling with crowd control in larger battles, Chinese Chomping Cabbages aren't the most effective trick in the post-games book once you've collected every spell and have reached max XP. The Hogwarts Legacy cabbage trick is a satisfying yet time-consuming venture, and it would have been an incredible help 180 hours ago. Then, of course, you'll have to catch, feed, and groom three Kneazles to use their fur to add the trait to your clothing at the loom in the Room of Requirement. Not only do you need to buy all the requisite items to plant your cabbages, you have to wait about ten minutes for each one to grow. I remembered all those spider dens that could have been cleared that much easier, of the hordes of Ashwinders and poachers that could have been taken care of had I dared deviate from my tried-and-tested method of "curse 'em all".Īt this point in my Hogwarts journey, though, the cabbages feel like extra work. Sure, a touch of Avada Kedavra would have sorted him out in just one, but as I watched the unsuspecting brute getting absolutely bodied by a bunch of leaves, I thought back to my early hours in Hogwarts Legacy and wanted to weep. Three fruitless hours later, I decided to make do with Herbology 2 – and even with the less-powerful version of the trait, just a few cabbages was all it took to oust an armored troll in ten seconds flat. I was sure I would have found it over the course of past travels – showing how much I was paying attention to all things herbology before today – but oh well off I went on a bandit-hunting mission for this all-important piece of swag. Loot in Hogwarts Legacy is randomized, but I was still surprised that I didn't already have the trait in my inventory. Getting your hands on Herbology 3 is easier said than done.

Just a few hefty bites from a rabid leafy green, and one by one, I had the bandit camps of the Forbidden Forest razed to the ground.
