There’s a lot of treasure to discover in Hogwarts Legacy. Some are cosmetic in nature, while others provide gear of different types. And, of course, there are those which are guaranteed to have high-end legendary gear. Here’s our Hogwarts Legacy guide to help you find all the legendary chests in Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade.
The basics when it comes to legendary chests
As mentioned above, all Hogwarts Legacy legendary chests will give you legendary gear pieces. However, these scale based on your character’s level. As such, it’s better to hold off until much later in the campaign to make sure that your loot doesn’t become useless as you’re leveling up. Moreover, as with most other containers, the rewards are randomized: you’re never sure of the item or equipment type you’d get. As such, you can do the save-reload trick, where you’ll make a manual save before opening a chest to ensure that you obtain something you need.
Lastly, some of the Hogwarts Legacy legendary chests are in locations that need to be unlocked. For these, you’ll have to acquire the Alohomora spell. Not only that, Alohomora also needs to be upgraded by collecting Demiguise Statues/Demiguise Moons in the game world.
