If you share Ron Weasley's arachnophobia and find spiders nerve-wracking, then the latest patch for Hogwarts Legacy is sure to please you.
The game now features an arachnophobia mode, which allows players to modify the appearance and sounds produced by spiders. This mode aims to assist players with arachnophobia in assuaging their fear of spiders while playing the game. It takes inspiration from Lupin's Boggart-Banishing Spell, outfitting spiders with roller skates while removing their unnerving skittering and screeching sounds.
Furthermore, the game has removed spider ground effect spawners and made static spider corpses in the open world invisible. However, players need not worry about getting stuck as Collision remains active even when this setting is toggled, which is accessible through the game's accessibility options. Unfortunately, individuals with severe arachnophobia may be disappointed to learn that spider images in the Field Guide remain unchanged.
The latest update also introduced new dialogue lines for Ignatia Wildsmith, which will trigger the first time players discover a Floo Flame location. This update is a welcome change for gamers who previously had to endure repetitive dialogue from Ignatia every time they walked near a Floo Powder location.
