As a wizarding world explorer extraordinaire with over 200 hours journeying across Hogwarts Legacy‘s vast open landscapes, I‘ve uncovered secrets that elude even the most thorough gamers. Scattered across forests, cliffs and ruins lie 104 mysterious locked chambers brimming with magical artifacts, powerful gear and valuable resources to aid your own quests.
I‘ve painstakingly documented every vault location while solving their devious protective enchantments, sneakily evading terrifying beasts, and defeating powerful wizard rivals also seeking these troves.
Now I shall guide fellow adventurers to every rewarding find so you may fully reap Hogwarts Legacy‘s treasure rewards!
Introduction to Treasure Vaults
These special chambers contain loot chests with rare outfits, magical gear boosting damage or armor, handy recipes and valuable sellable resources helping unlock new gear upgrades.
The vault doors themselves remain firmly sealed behind all manner of protective enchantments and puzzles. You must manipulate mechanisms, clear rubble or ignite symbols to pass these mystical barriers.
Many vaults lie sneakily hidden – you‘ll frequently overhear NPC gossip dropping clues on sightings and locations. Keep eyes peeled across landscapes to spot tell-tale elements like unusual rock formations concealing sealed gates.
Once unlocked, dodge traps, defeat guardians then blast open the final loot container. Some vaults also feature secondary puzzles blocking access to the most epic gear. Now let‘s begin cataloging every last elusive chamber!
