Hogwarts Legacy: Trophy Guide – Tips and roadmap to get to the Platinum Trophy
You should follow these tips: The most practical way to make trophy hunting easier for you in Hogwarts Legacy is to choose the game difficulty. Hogwarts Legacy does not give you achievements for playing the game on a specific difficulty. So you can set it to the easiest level of difficulty and still you won’t miss anything. But there are a few other tips to keep in mind:
- There are no trophies dependent on difficulty – you can collect all trophies on the easiest difficulty, Story
- There are 4 trophies you can miss. For these achievements you have to find the card chamber with each house – several savegames are therefore mandatory
- After the end of the story, you can travel the world freely and catch up on open sidequests and collectibles
- Cast Ancient Magic (L1+R1) at least once on each enemy type you see
- You must create separate saves where you join each of the four houses once. Each save you have to play for about 2 hours to find the map chamber.
You should be careful to use ancient magic on any enemy you have never seen before. A trophy requires you to cast ancient magic on every enemy type, but the terminology is a little misleading here. According to the in-game enemy list, there are 69 enemy types, but using ancient magic on 34 of them is enough. Many enemies only appear once in the game or as a boss and do not count towards the trophy.

Here you can level up to level 40 if you haven’t already, and complete all collectibles, Trials of Merlin, and side quests. Effectively, you have to complete the game 100% once. It is important for this that you learn all spells in Hogwarts Legacy and bring Alohomora to level 3. - Find the card room with all four houses
Once you’re completely through with the game, all you have to do is tie up a few loose ends. In the end it’s all about the map chamber, which you have to find once for each of the four houses.
