If the “Harry Potter” books and movies have Lord Voldemort, Avalanche Software’s game, “Hogwarts Legacy,” has Ranrok. Ranrok is the main villain in the game.
Lord Voldemort is more of like a person, an evil wizard, but the game seemingly takes the hilarious, more unique route by having a goblin as the primary antagonist. Ranrok is a goblin, and it is interesting because in “Harry Potter,” goblins are good, helpful creatures. They own and manage Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the sole wizarding bank in Great Britain.
But Goblin Ranrok is the founder of Ranrok’s Loyalists. In his time, he and these Loyalists led a goblin rebellion versus wizardkind, with the motive of supplanting wizards and witches with goblins as the dominant race in the wizarding world.
Thus, he sought ancient magic by educating himself on Isidora Morganach’s interactions with Bragbor the Boastful, his ancestor and the builder of the final repository.
Beating Ranrok takes courage and a little bit of hard work. Here is the guide.
Before You Start Your Battle With Ranrok, You Must Take Time To Prepare For It
One crucial element that will appear when battling with Ranrok is a set of multi-hued orbs, mirroring the boss fights with the Pensieve Guardians earlier in the game’ story.
Make sure you have at least one yellow spell, one purple, and one red on a hotbar you can easily access at all times. Doing so will enable you to access spells immediately when it’s time to take down an orb of a certain color.
It would be best to cast those spells quickly, too, as the time window on those orbs is strict. It is recommended that you order them according to your playstyle. You can place the yellow ones on the bottom, the purples on top, and the red on the sides, for example.
You may also buy the extended dodge talent, a fantastic way to show your preparedness for Ranrok, whose strength you shouldn’t underestimate.
The First Phase Will Dictate Most Of Ranrok’s Patterns For The Rest Of The Battle
As the battle commences, Ranrok will transform into a mighty dragon, using the energy of The Final Repository.
One of the superpowers of this dragon is flame breath, which will appear like a beam that strikes horizontally. To counter this attack, keep your distance from dragon Ranrok at all times. Believe us, this isn’t cowardice, but the best way to altogether avoid the attack.
If he is about to unleash fire and you’re nearby, simply dodge, rolling backward. Ranrok will also unleash fireballs occasionally, which you can easily dodge.
Also, throughout this fight, orbs will show up on-screen – purple, yellow, or red orbs. Once they appear, you’ll want to attack them by immediately casting the spell corresponding to the color, weakening Ranrok.
Now, remember. To succeed, you must focus on these, drop everything, and spam on your dodges (yes, seriously).
Pro Tip
When attacking the purple orbs, get close to them, as hitting them from afar can result in a whiff, which is an issue.
The Other Phases Are The Same, But There Are More Orbs
After his health bar gets depleted majorly, Ranrok will adjust himself so he can keep his ground. He will move to another zone and line up two orbs instead of just one. Be brave to follow him to this new area and get ready to attack several orbs, doing everything you did during the first phase.
The villain will also charge up and unleash a sphere-like explosive attack. To dodge this, simply move to the back of the battlefield, dodging backward. Yes, it’s roughly the same move you’ll do, like what you did when he unleashed the flame breath.
The Last Phase
After you succeed in depleting another health bar, the final phase will commence. Here, you must attack and take out three orbs one after the other. Ranrok’s attacks will be the same, but it’ll be more challenging to deal with them. These orbs will have a much shorter and tighter timeline. They will disappear and fade away if you ignore them for too long. But keep your ground, just like how Ranrok is keeping his. Hit these orbs accurately, then roll back, returning to defensive mode. Repeat the process toward Ranrok’s defeat.
Those are what you need to know to beat Ranrok, the ultimate villain in “Hogwarts Legacy.” Follow the guide above, and you’ll conquer Ranrok to save the wizarding world.
