Interactive Map

Every Merlin Trial, Field Guide Page, Demiguise Statue, chest and Floo Flame, pinned and filterable. The Highlands are huge, so we mapped every corner of them for you.

Loading the map…

Tick off Merlin Trials, Floo Flames and vaults as you find them. Your progress is shared with the full Hogwarts Legacy interactive map, which also has the checklist and progress panel.

Story & Companion Quests

The main story runs about 25 to 35 hours, with three companion questlines that unlock unique rewards and, in Sebastian’s case, an Unforgivable Curse. Start with the prologue, then follow the main quests. Companion quests open up as you progress.

Spells, Talents & Combat

Combat in Hogwarts Legacy is all about chaining spells by color and breaking enemy shields. These guides cover which spells to unlock first, the best Talents, and how to learn all three Unforgivable Curses.

Boss Guides

Hogwarts Legacy saves its toughest fights for the Pensieve Guardians and the final chapter. Each boss guide covers attack patterns, which spells to bring, and which potions to stock up on.

Beasts & Vivarium

Rescue 12 beast types with the Nab-Sack (the Phoenix, number 13, comes from a quest), breed them in your Vivarium, and hunt for rare shiny variants. Beast byproducts are the key to upgrading your gear traits.

Places & Gear

From the castle corridors to the far coast of Clagmar, every region has its own quests, vaults and secrets. Our gear guides cover upgrades, transmog and the fastest ways to farm gold.
