How to Sneak Past Patrols

Use Revelio to mark patrols

Hogwarts Legacy - marking enemies with Revelio

When the objective requires you to be undetected, keep using Revelio to mark enemies and see their positions through walls. This will make it easier to plan your route as you check where they are facing and how they move around. You can also check the minimap to see nearby patrols, which are marked as red triangles.

Use Basic Cast to distract patrols

Hogwarts Legacy - distracting with Basic Cast

If a patrol doesn't move at all and you can't get around them, you can use your Basic Cast to shoot anywhere (hold L2 first to manually aim then press R2) you want them to move towards to.
