Time Trial Completion Unlocks Broom Upgrade Challenges
To unlock your upgrades, you’ll have to beat student Imelda Reyes’ times three times. Yes, your goal is to finish your broom racing in this time trial. Do NOT worry; it is no rocket science!
Below is a summary of times trials:
| Broom Upgrade | Time to beat | Description |
|---|
- High acceleration upgrades | 42 minutes | Beat Imelda, and you’ll earn rewards.
- Extra speed upgrades | TBA | You still want to beat Imelda twice more.
- Three broomstick enchantments | You see, there are new effects for your brooms from this upgrade.
The reward for beating Imelda isn’t just a feeling! You’ll earn three flying mounts, each an original design, not simply tweaked versions of the current aircraft; the first of which to be encountered is a memorable Hippogriff named Highwing located in the early parts the main story.
By far, the most useful in the game are not time trials, but Hogwarts questline. This leads ultimately to the ability of upgrades, which can now significantly enhance your overall progress: the Loom skill. The real journey begins once you possess control over the Loom or The Elf, if you will. Level as many as you desire then.
