Duolingo is more or less like a game that we love while learning the language. There are a lot of courses that you can take up to learn the language. When you take up a course you will see a Duolingo tree which is the path of learning the course. There are different levels and units in it. Once you complete these levels and units you will be unlocking a special feature which is known as Duolingo Legendary Level Challenges. Here we will be discussing these challenges in detail so that you have the proper knowledge about them.
QuickTakeaways
Duolingo legendary levels help you to know how much you have learned on Duolingo.
Depending upon where you are using it you will be unlocking it after specific levels or units.
As these levels are hard, you must be consistent, determined and motivated while doing it.
All the courses have different levels and courses thus the number of legendary levels are different for each of the course.
You are allowed to make three mistakes while taking the legendary level. If you make more mistakes than it before getting 10 right questions you will have to repeat the lesson.
If you are a free user you must try to avoid taking them as there is no fun in wasting 100 gems on something which will not provide you with something new.
On the other hand, if you are a premium user, you must go for it as you will be having unlimited health and do not need gems for it.
However, you must read till the end so that you do not miss any of the important information on the Duolingo legendary level challenges.
What are the Duolingo Legendary level challenges?
Legendary-level challenges are a way of checking your progress so far in the course. These courses were earlier created as a voluntary project which was known as the Duolingo incubator. These challenges are not available offline but are a great way of staying motivated in the course. Depending on where you are using Duolingo the legendary levels are different-
Mobile
If you are using Duolingo on your Mobile, they are extra hard challenges that you may choose to get proficient in a particular language. When you will complete a particular standard level, you will have the option of taking a one-off challenge. These challenges are 100 gems if you are a free member. You can collect these gems through various activities like weekly leagues. On the other hand, if you are a Duolingo Plus member you will not have to use your gems for it. You can take up two different subscription plans – Individual and Family plans.
Earlier these levels were in purple colour and were the last level for any language. At that time you also receive a purple crown for this level. But currently, due to updates on Duolingo, when you get on the legendary level you will simply turn it to gold.
Desktop
If you are using Duolingo on the Desktop version, these levels are a bit different from the mobile version. These levels are known as legendary trophies. On desktop, legendary trophies do not focus on levels but on the units. So to unlock this trophy you will need to complete the whole unit. After completing the whole unit you will have to take 8 legendary challenges. If you have completed the course and do not find these legendary challenges worthy you can think of removing the course. However, when you will remove the course you will also lose the XP points you have gained from the course. If you want to gain more XP, you can go for the XP ramp-up challenge and match madness which are part of timed challenges.
However, it means that there is not much difference in both ways. The only difference between both them is what you are unlocking and when you are doing them. Further unlike the legendary level on mobile, legendary trophies on the desktop are still in the traditional purple colour. Also to not confuse you, the non-legendary levels are in gold colour on the desktop and once you will complete the you will get to see the Gold Duolingo owl. You will also see different characters on the platform.
How to earn legendary levels on Duolingo?
To earn the legendary level, you will first need to earn 5 crowns in a particular skill. Once you have completed the crowns you will get the skill in golden. After it, you will get the option for completing four more lessons. When you complete four lessons, you will get a 40XP score for each of the lessons. The latest update on Duolingo now allowed you to make 3 mistakes from with the legendary levels. Following are the ways by which you can earn the legendary levels on Duolingo –
Staying consistent on the app will help you to regularly complete your lessons. This will help you in making a habit of completing the lesson and thus you will be able to get eligible for the legendary level easily.
Complete all the lessons with full focus and determination. It will help you to learn all the rules of grammar along with some new vocabulary. Further, there are funny sentences that will help you to enjoy when you are in the challenge.
As the legendary levels are too difficult, you may be exhausted much earlier. Thus you must try to stay calm and motivated so that you can ease the level easily. You will be getting the achievements and chests when you complete the levels.
How does the legendary level work?
Legendary levels are the one which works similarly for desktop and for mobile. Such challenges are divided into two different sections. There is also a middle check post between it, and when you reach there you receive a minimum of 20XP awards. While taking up these exams you will not get any time limit and you can take them as many times as you want. With no time limits the legendary levels are very hard as there are no hints. So if you don’t know the meaning of the word, you will not be able to tap on them. To complete the two sections you will have to take care of the heart system.
Now if you are a premium user, you will have unlimited hearts. But if you are a free user, you will have to take care of the heart system. When you complete the challenge on mobile, it will turn out to be gold. Whereas if you complete them on desktop you will see purple colour for it. You can make up to 3 mistakes per lesson which make it easier to earn the legendary level. Once you complete 4 legendary levels you will receive a Purple crown. They also help you to get the streak score each day you take and once you score 365 streaks you will become a VIP member and also unlock streak society which helps you get free streak freezes.
How many legendary levels are there on Duolingo?
As each of the courses on Duolingo has a different number of units and levels, the legendary levels will also vary. Suppose you are learning the Spanish language. As it is one of the most popular languages on Duolingo, you may have a lot of legendary levels when compared to the languages which are not so popular. You will see a lot of coursework, units and levels in it. Spanish and French languages also have podcasts on the platform.
On the other hand, if you are studying Welsh, you may not have much content in it. And thus you may not have many legendary levels in it. However, it is not permanent forever as Duolingo keep on updating with time. So you may find more legendary levels in the Welsh language as well. Just like legendary levels, there are various levels in a specific course.
When should you go for Duolingo legendary-level challenges?
There is no fixed time for going for the legendary levels. Once you complete the uni you get eligible for taking the Duolingo legendary level. You can either unlock more levels on the path and complete them. So do the legendary level when you are comfortable doing it. Suppose you are studying the French language, you still may not have knowledge of all the words or the grammar.
So, as a result, you must try to complete the course first and then jump to the legendary levels. You must also consider the subject you have taken. As the French course is huge, it makes all sense to complete the entire course first and then go for the legendary levels. However, if you talk about Polish, the course is generally short and you may complete the legendary level while completing the standard levels.
How does the legendary level on Duolingo worked earlier?
Before the introduction of the learning path, Duolingo keeps on providing different updates. It seems like they were not sure about which model to use for the legendary levels. The two most common models that were seen during the updates of Duolingo were the No-mistake format and the Time format. In the no-mistake format, you were not allowed to make any mistakes while in the time format, you have to complete the level within a specific time duration.
All the other things like XP (which you can earn in a happy hour also) checkpoints, etc were the same. If we consider the current legendary level if you are able to get 10 correct questions with three mistakes you will be promoted to the next lesson. But if we consider earlier you were not promoted to the next level if you made more than 2 mistakes in the lesson.
What if you made a mistake in the legendary level?
As we earlier discuss that you can make up to 3 mistakes at the legendary level. It means that if you were able to hit 10 questions with a maximum of three mistakes you were promoted to the next lesson. So if you make mistakes then you will have to restart the lesson from starting. However, you must remember that once you shift to the next lesson, you will not be going to the previous lesson.
Are legendary levels really worth it?
This totally depends upon your own thinking and goals. Generally, there is nothing new in these levels and they only help you to test your knowledge so far. So if you are a free member it makes no sense to use your 100 gems on it. Also, remember that you can unlock new status icons with the help of it but it may also not be worthy. You should try to save them for life refill so that you could learn some new language. Whereas if you are a premium member you must go for it as you already have unlimited health. You can practice the knowledge that you have gained so far as it is the best way of testing it out.
Conclusion
Legendary levels are the way by which you can test out your knowledge of the course so far. Depending upon where you are using it they may be different from each other. Suppose you are using it on a mobile phone, they will only focus on the levels whereas, on the desktop version, they will focus on the units. Though these levels are really tough you must have three skills yourself- consistency, determination, and motivation. After completing certain units or levels you will unlock the legendary level at which you will need to complete four different lessons.
There is also a checkpoint at the middle of each legendary level that offers you the guarantee of a 20 XP score. The number of legendary levels depends upon the course you have taken as some of them may have fewer units and other may have more units. If you are a free user you must avoid taking it as there is no fun in spending 100 gems on it.
