Unlock all the Chests in Hogwarts Legacy with This Location Guide

There is a plethora of collectibles in Hogwarts Legacy — in fact, if the word on the street is accurate, there’s over a thousand of them! They can be acquired through various quests, side quests, puzzles and fun activities. One of them, as you’ll notice, will be via opening collection chests.

If you’re someone who’s looking to complete the game a 100% or want to open up every single chest in Hogwarts’s legacy, I’ve got your back with an exhaustive list of all chest locations.

Here’s a complete guide to finding all the chests scattered across Hogwarts Legacy, how to unlock them and the rewards for the same. Let’s go!

How to unlock chests in Hogwarts Legacy?

Chests can be easily opened in Hogwarts Legacy using Alohomora. However, some chests may require you to have a higher level of the spell.

Once you locate a chest, it’s quite easy to open them — the only difficulty you may face is if the chest needs a higher level to be unlocked or if they’re not available yet because you haven’t completed certain quests.

What rewards are found in the chests?

When players successfully find and open chests in Hogwarts Legacy, they are rewarded with wand handles and conjurations.

As you may already know, you’ll require conjurations for the Room of Requirement and the Vivarium. But most of the chest rewards are given at random so you may have to open up a lot of chests to get what you’re looking for.

My advice would be to keep this location guide handy as you’ll know where to look for a chest whenever you’re in a particular area.
