It might not seem like it from the start, but Hogwarts Legacy is full of loot to collect. Most of it will be new gear that gives your witch or wizard new stats, as well as a fresh look. That's all well and good, however, your custom character doesn't have the deepest of pockets when you first arrive. Initially, you will be limited to a mere 20 items in your inventory, which will fill up fast. Rather than resort to selling or breaking down old gear to get new sets, here's how you can increase your inventory space in Hogwarts Legacy.

  • Complete the Trials of Merlin main quest

  • Complete Trials of Merlin milestones

How to increase your inventory size

Unfortunately, you will have to wait for a few hours before you can start buffing up your inventory capacity.

Step 1: Progress through the main quest line until you complete the Trials of Merlin quest.

Step 2: This will create new Merlin Trials to complete all over your map as you start the "Complete Merlin Trials" challenge.

Step 3: Begin hunting down and completing Merlin Trials.

Step 4: Each milestone of this challenge will unlock two additional inventory slots. Completing them all can double your normal inventory size to 40.

Step 5: Just completing the trails won't automatically upgrade your inventory. Remember to actually claim the rewards in your menu for each milestone to expand your inventory.

This trick would give you a much better look at your custom character, the world, and all your flashy abilities. First-person games can also be a bit disorienting for some players and a third-person angle is more comfortable. There are a few ways you can swap to a more zoomed-out perspective in Avowed so let's quickly go over them all so you can get back to the adventure.

Civilization 7 suzerain guide: how to influence independent civs
A walled city sitting behind a mountain.

Civilization 7 has done away with the old Barbarians from past games and replaced them with a similar but distinct feature called Independent Powers.

While you could invade and destroy them, there's a lot more to gain if you use your Influence to become their suzerain and adopt them into your own civ for a faster and easier way to create a new town. You can't take over any of these civs by force, so we'll show you how to be more diplomatic and incorporate these NPC towns into your civ.
