Hogwarts Legacy offers fans one of the first opportunities to explore the castle on their own, without any restrictions. If you’ve seen trailers or played the game already, then you’re aware of just how detailed it is.
Apparently, the castle is so vast and intricately built that even the game’s developers get lost in the castle! What this means, of course, is that we’re certainly not going to run out of places to explore in this immersive, open-world role-playing game. At least, not anytime soon!
But where to start? In this article, we’ll cover some of the top locations for players to explore in the Hogwarts Legacy video game.
10 Locations You Need to Explore in Hogwarts Legacy
In the following list, you’ll find the top places that you simply must check out, ranked in order from exciting to absolutely MAGICAL!
#10: The Great Hall
Coming in at number 10 is the enchanted Great Hall. Although not the most mysterious place within Hogwarts castle, it does have its charms—quite literally.
So much detail has gone into the enchanted ceiling that is meant to mimic the sky above, it is a must see. And who could resist being a part of their first-ever Sorting Hat ceremony?
#9: The Dungeons
Other than the fact that Professor Snape’s office and the Potions classroom are located down in the dungeons, we never used to know all that much about this location. But not anymore.
What mysteries or secrets can you uncover down there…?
#8: The Common Rooms
Within the Harry Potter series, there were descriptions of three of the four house common rooms, including Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Of course, being that Harry and his pals spent more time in certain common rooms, descriptions of Gryffindor were a lot more detailed than those of the others.
In Hogwarts Legacy, players have the opportunity to finally explore ALL of the houses in equal measure. Not to mention, you can finally learn what the Hufflepuff common room looks like!
#7: The Secret Passageways
Just how many hidden passages exist within Hogwarts Legacy? In the game, players have the chance to roam about the castle in search of these legendary and unknown routes throughout Hogwarts, and maybe even get up to a little mischief…
#6: The Great Lake
The Great Lake is, of course, one of the challenge locations in The Goblet of Fire’s Triwizard Tournament. Within the confines of Harry’s experience, we know that this body of water is home to some magical and menacing creatures.
What else could be hiding below its placid surface? Dive on in and discover what lurks beneath the depths of this enchanted lake.
#5: The Quidditch Pitch
Despite not being able to play in a Quidditch match in Hogwarts Legacy, it’s rather exciting to think that players have the opportunity to fly around the school’s pitch. Hop on your broomstick and see if you can find any new mysteries.
#4: The Forbidden Forest
Although a great many scenarios played out in the Forbidden Forest throughout the Harry Potter series, there is still so much more to explore in the game. Here’s where you can meet a number of dangerous and exciting magical beasts—and who knows what else!
#3: Hogsmeade Village
Haven’t you always wanted the chance to simply wander around and explore the wizarding village of Hogsmeade? From Honeydukes Sweetshop to The Hog’s Head Pub, there’s plenty here that we have yet to learn…
#2: Gringotts Wizarding Bank
How could you not be excited to poke around Gringotts? Housing some of the wizarding world’s most famous treasures, exploring the bank is a thrilling journey all on its own. And since Hogwarts Legacy takes place well over 100 years before The Deathly Hallows, there’s bound to be a dragon—or two—residing in the depths of the building.
#1: The Room of Requirement
Coming in at number one, the most EXCITING place for players to explore is definitely The Room of Requirement. How could it not be? It’s the room that provides you with exactly what you need!
