This Iconic Spot is Available in Hogwarts Legacy Under One Condition
Players who are new to Hogwarts Legacy need to think carefully about their initial choices in the game, because only one of them gives the opportunity to visit the iconic place. Warning, text contains spoilers.
Warning: the following text reveals minor spoilers related to the plot of Hogwarts Legacy.
Azkaban, the wizard prison that housed characters such as Sirius Black and Bellatrix Lestrange, is one of many iconic locations from around the wizarding world featured in Hogwarts Legacy. The problem, however, is that not everyone will get the "honor" of seeing the dementors and the Patronus spell with their own eyes.
We've prepared interactive maps for Hogwarts Legacy that contain the game's secrets, collectibles, Merlin trials, collection chests, ancient magic hotspots, sidequests and more. Make sure to check out our original guide and the interactive maps.
This is because it turns out that the tour of Azkaban was linked to a side quest that is available to only one of the four houses present in the game. Specifically this opportunity is given to Hufflepuff.
To pay a visit to Azkaban, you must:
- choose Hufflepuff as your house at Hogwarts;
- pass the early missions until you rescue the old woman at the lake;
- talk to the portrait of Eldritch Diggory in the Hufflepuff common room;
- go to Upper Hogsmeade and talk to Helen Thistlewood.
Having followed these four simple steps, we teleport to Azkaban. Admittedly the tour of the infamous prison is quite short, but the moment is certainly a treat for Harry Potter fans. Unfortunately, the downside of this mission is that after completing it, we will no longer have the opportunity to return to Azkaban.
On the other hand, it can be considered a consolation that it does not take much of playing Hogwarts Legacy to be able to complete this task. Such an opportunity arises after just a few hours. Therefore, if you want to learn about the threads exclusive to a particular house, you do not have to play through the entire game.
