Dugbogs can be difficult to pin down in Hogwarts Legacy. However, with the right technique, you can flip a Dugbog on its back and render it vulnerable to attacks, making it easier to obtain a Dugbog Tongue.
How Do You Flip a Dugbog on Its Back in Hogwarts Legacy?
You can flip a Dugbog onto its back using Depulso, by far one of the best spells in Hogwarts Legacy and a personal favorite. This spell allows the user to push and spin enemies for various purposes. You’ll need to complete Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1 quest to be able to learn this spell. Although this spell doesn’t cause damage, you can take advantage of it by raining other attacks on your target while they are vulnerable.
Before anything else, you’ll need to get the Dugbog’s attention. I did this by throwing a random spell at it, but it seems that attacking the creature in any way will get the job done. Once the Dugbog is focused on you, start running away, drawing the creature after you. Then, wait for the Dugbog to charge at you, and then dodge its unblockable attack before you cast the Depulso spell.
Basically, flipping a Dugbog onto its back is similar to flipping the troll’s club. The only difference is that you’re using a different spell to pull this off. When the Dugbog misses its charging attack, there’s a split-second window that allows you to cast the Depulso spell on it, lifting the poor creature onto its back and making it unable to act for a short time. Once you have defeated the Dugbog, you’ll be able to get Dugbog Tongue, one of the ingredients needed to craft a Focus Potion.
How to Levitate a Dugbog by Its Tongue
- Wait for the Dugbog to put out its tongue.
- Use Levioso to lift the creature off the ground.
This is not a complicated task. That said, you can only levitate a Dugbog by its tongue when it has its tongue out. Be patient, wait for the right moment, and do as we recommend. If you cast Diffindo after lifting a Dugbog by its tongue, it will die instantly.
Where to Find Dugbogs in Hogwarts Legacy
- Dugbog Lair: Located in the southeastern part of the Feldcroft Region. It’s a cave-like area home to various creatures, including Dugbogs. To get there, head to the coast and look for a cave entrance.
- Bog Lairs: Dugbogs generally rest in their lairs. The game features a single Dugbog Lair, located to the South of the Northern South Sea Bog floo station.
- Near Swamps and Rivers: Dugbogs can also be found near bodies of water. The most prominent area is the Northern Bog area past the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts.
- Near Beaches: Dugbogs can also be found near saltwater areas such as beaches.
Since Dugbogs can blend in with the environment, make sure to use the Revelio spell to locate Dugbogs.
