## Transcript

When you're in Ollivander mode, the top right shop portion of the screen stabs books showing the golden trio multiball bonuses you've earned. It's different than the extra credit bonus books on the right side of this the middle of the screen. Okay, let's let's pay attention to that. All right, that should be a lock shot there. That's good. Uh, and we got ourselves uh a die alley letter. We're going to go with Diagon Alley again. And there's another lock. We do need Ollivanders. So, we're in. And that's fine. It's only three targets for Ron. So, I do like to do Ron last. All right. Five shots. Jackpots increase easier one jackpot longer ball save in 2x and 3x. Oh my god. If you can get five, there's auto restart. Okay, we are ready for golden trio. Got it. Bringing four of these in here. And what I would love to do is be able to hit something off the fly here. There we go. We got our first ball lock. Let's see what it's going to kick this out. I would love to. I'm just going to be patient here. It looks like blue and they're all on the other side. So, I'm going to try an over under the mighty target. All right. So, we got two. We need one more. And where is it? Oh, the Hermione targets. Got it. God, that sucks. Yes. Holy [***] Uh, Ollivanders, it makes trio multiball easier. That was night and day right there. Trio multiball got a lot easier. Um, I think after you get three, man, if you can hit all five shots, though, that's really what you want with five shots. You get an automatic restart when you fall out of the multiball. So, that's huge. I'm so happy that that was an option and it wasn't just a very hard multiball that needed to be beat. You can focus on on making it easier if that's what you want to do earlier
