Skip Merlin's Trial cutscene
🎬 **Allows you to manually skip the cutscenes of Merlin's Trial! **
Tired of watching that long animation every time you complete Merlin's Trials? This mod is for you!
✨ Core Functions
- **Manual Skip Animation**: Easily skip the Merlin Trials animation just like skipping other game cutscenes.
- **Simple operation**:
- **Mouse & Keyboard**: Press and hold **Right Click**
- **Controller**: Press and hold **Triangle/Y**
⚠️ **Important**: Fast traveling may cause the game to crash, related to the gazebo not fully loading when skipping animations. The author is looking for alternative skipping methods.

📥 Installation Guide
Please strictly follow the steps below:
- **Download Tool**: Download the latest version of UE4SS (XInput version). Find the `UE4SS_Xinput_X.X.X.zip` file in the "Assets" section.
- **Extraction tool**: Extract the entire contents of the **UE4SS compressed package** to the game directory: `*\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64`.
- **Install the module**: Copy the `SkipMerlinCinematic`, `shared` and `mods.txt` files of this module to the Mods folder of UE4SS: `*\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\Mods` (overwrite existing files if prompted).
- **Manage Other Mods**: Disable any UE4SS built-in modules that you don’t want by deleting them from the Mods folder or modifying the `mods.txt` file to set its value to 0. (If you have already overwritten the `mods.txt` file in step 3, you can skip this step.)

⚙️ Optional settings
- If you want to hide the UE4SS console window while gaming, you can edit the `UE4SS-settings.ini` file (located in `*\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\UE4SS-settings.ini`).
- Search for "console" in the file and set the relevant value to 0 to turn it off.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
