The recent release of Hogwarts Legacy has given Harry Potter fans the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the Wizarding World like never before. As players explore the halls of Hogwarts, the village of Hogsmeade, and the magical lands that surround them, they‘ll uncover secrets hidden throughout the open world.
One such secret are the demiguise statues scattered across the game‘s map. Resembling an ape-like creature with large, black eyes, these statues are actually collectibles known as "demiguise moons." Finding them is no easy task, but tracking them down will reward you with upgrades to the essential Alohomora unlocking spell.
In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll cover everything you need to know about the demiguise moons in Hogwarts Legacy, from what they are to all of their locations. Let‘s begin!
What Are Demiguise Moons?
Demiguise moons refer to the 33 demiguise statues hidden throughout Hogwarts Legacy‘s open world locations. They resemble a silver demiguise (an ape-like magical beast) holding up a crescent moon.
You‘re first introduced to them during the "The Caretaker‘s Lunar Lament" main story quest, when the school‘s caretaker, Gladwin Moon, asks for your help recovering his lost demiguise statues. For each one you return to him, he‘ll upgrade your Alohomora spell to open higher level locks barring access to hidden areas.
There are three Alohomora spell upgrade levels tied to collecting these moons:
- Level 1 (Default) – Opens level 1 locks
- Level 2 – Opens level 1-2 locks (Collect 9 moons)
- Level 3 – Opens level 1-3 locks (Collect 22 moons)
Aside from the Alohomora upgrades, collecting all 33 demiguise moons also completes the achievement "Demiguise Dread" under the Hogwarts category.
Now let‘s take a deep dive into all demiguise moon locations across the map.
Demiguise Moon Locations in Hogsmeade
Hogsmeade village contains the largest concentration of demiguise moons, with a total of 17 scattered throughout shops, houses, and back alleys.
Tomes and Scrolls Bookshop
Our first stop is Tomes and Scrolls bookshop along Hogsmeade‘s main street. Upon entering, head to the back room behind the front counter. There you‘ll find the demiguise moon resting atop a pile of boxes.
Residence Near Ollivander‘s
Next, locate the small home situated north from Tomes and Scrolls and south of Ollivander‘s wand shop. It‘s distinguishable by a level 2 lock on the front door. Use Alohomora to gain entry and head upstairs to the bedroom, where a demiguise moon sits on the dresser.
Hog‘s Head Inn Storage Room
This one resides in the back storage room of the Hog‘s Head Inn towards Hogsmeade‘s western district. Go behind the bar counter and into the adjacent room to discover the demiguise statue on some crates.
Warlock‘s Nook
Near the J. Pippin potions shop is an unassuming residence called the Warlock‘s Nook marked by a level 2 locked door. Inside on the second floor is another demiguise moon.
Three Broomsticks Top Floor
The popular Three Broomsticks Inn hides one as well. Ascend to the topmost floor and unlock the level 1 door to reveal the statue on a table by the fireplace.
High Street Home
Next to the Three Broomsticks is a home fronted with a streetlamp. Go upstairs using Alohomora to uncover this demiguise moon.
Dervish and Banges Shop
Dervish and Banges equipment shop along Hogsmeade Square contains one on the front counter.
Magic Neep Residence
Near Gladrags Wizardwear shop is a house marked by hanging flower baskets. Inside on the main floor rests the next demiguise moon.
Hogsmeade Hovel
South of Dervish and Banges lies a run-down shack with boarded up windows. Break down the planks at the entrance and descend to the basement to claim another moon.
Hogsmeade Home
Along the main street you‘ll notice a two-floor house with a cabbage delivery out front. The demiguise statue sits on a table downstairs behind the front door.
Lakeside Residence
Near the bridge on Hogsmeade‘s northeast side is an inconspicuous home. Inside, you‘ll spot the moon on a mantle just beyond the entrance.
Beadle‘s Brewery
The next is located inside the Beadle‘s Beer brewery along the southeast road leading out of Hogsmeade. Proceed to the next room from the main brewing floor to find it.
Overlook Motel
Further southeast down the road is the Overlook Motel marked with a large hanging sign. Go around the back of the motel to locate an open basement hatch leading underground. The demiguise moon can be found resting here.
Lower Hogsfield Home
Just west from the Overlook Motel within Lower Hogsfield lies a house distinguishable by the cabbage delivery on its porch. Upon entering, you‘ll notice the demiguise moon positioned by the front door.
With that, we‘ve covered all discoverable demiguise moons in Hogsmeade village. Next we‘ll detail the locations for the 10 spread throughout Hogwarts castle itself.
Demiguise Moon Locations in Hogwarts
Gaining access to Hogwarts midway through the story reveals an entirely new area filled with secrets. Here are the hidden demiguise moon spots inside the iconic castle.
Gryffindor Tower Girl‘s Bathroom
Starting with Gryffindor Tower, locate an "out of order" bathroom along the left corridor on the lower floors. Unlock the level 1 door to find a demiguise moon inside sitting atop a wooden crate.
Divination Classroom
Ascend the ladder within the Divination Classroom tower to reach the upper floor. Traversing the classroom‘s tables and chairs will lead you to the demiguise statue on the professor‘s desk.
Great Hall Storage Closet
In the Great Hall dining area, uncover a locked closet to the right of the staff table seating. Within is the next demiguise moon beside the lit fireplace.
Library Annex Storage
Behind the Library Annex lies a secured storage room accessible from the main floor. Navigate the boxes and shelves inside to locate this elusive demiguise statue.
Restricted Section Reading Room
Hogwarts Library‘s Restricted Section contains the next moon. Find your way upstairs to the locked reading lounge and search the area to obtain it.
Beast Classroom Building
A separate classroom building for Beast studies contains another. Look around the ground level to discover a room sealed by a level 2 lock, within which lies the demiguise moon.
Bell Tower Scribe‘s Quarters
The Bell Tower wing adjacent to the Transfiguration Courtyard holds a secret quarter used by record scribes. Find the level 1 locked door along its bottom floor and proceed upstairs to uncover the statue.
Muggle Studies Classroom
Back within the main castle, locate the Muggle Studies Classroom accessible from the North Hall. Just beyond the top of the descending stairs hides a locked room harboring this elusive moon.
Transfiguration Hall Storage
Off the Transfiguration Courtyard corridor you‘ll notice a small room secured with a level 2 lock. Break in using Alohomora to obtain the demiguise moon resting inside.
Astronomy Office
Lastly, at the top of the Astronomy Tower lies the professor‘s office. Scour the room upon entry to discover the final Hogwarts demiguise moon.
And that covers all discoverable moons within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Next up are the remote locations comprising the Highlands and Feldcroft regions.
Demiguise Moon Locations Across the Highlands
Venturing beyond Hogwarts and Hogsmeade introduces the sweeping Highlands environments. Its fields, forests, and mountain ranges hide the following demiguise statues:
Pitt-Upon-Ford Village
Start your Highlands search by fast traveling to Pitt-Upon-Ford village along Feldcroft Region‘s northern road. Investigate the three floor house, distinguishable by cauldrons stacked outside. Ascend to the top level bedroom to find the first Highlands demiguise.
Lower Hogsfield Home
Staying within Feldcroft, next fast travel to Aranshire Hamlet, located southwest of Bainburgh Village. Seek out the first house upon entry guarded by a level 1 lock. Inside on the second floor rests the subsequent demiguise moon.
Brocburrow Cottage
Now head into Hogwarts Valley between Hogsmeade and Feldcroft. Brocburrow Village situated atop the valley hill contains the next statue within a ground level home just south from the Merlin Trials pillar.
Keenbridge Hideaway
Further west of Brocburrow lies Keenbridge Village, distinguishable from its central tower. Investigate the isolated cottage on its outskirts guarded by a level 1 lock to uncover the subsequent demiguise moon upstairs.
Irondale Residence
Fast travel to Irondale Village in northern Feldcroft containing several small homes. Seek out the first house upon entry identifiable by stacked crates and barrels outside its door. Proceed downstairs to locate the demiguise statue.
Marunweem Cabin
Along Feldcroft‘s western road lies tiny Marunweem Village, with the next statue housed inside the cabin marked by stacked cauldrons and drying clothes. Check the far left room to obtain this elusive moon.
Bainburgh‘s Brewhouse
Further west within the coastal Manor Cape district sits Bainburgh Village. Locate the locked brewhouse along its main thoroughfare, distinguishable by large metal vessels outside. Head upstairs inside to discover the subsequent demiguise moon.
Cragcroft Crypt
Lastly, travel east into Cragcroftshire containing rural Cragcroft Hamlet. Investigate the cabin neighboring potions vendor Bella Navarro to uncover this region‘s final demiguise statue upstairs.
And that covers all the obscure demiguise moons dotted across Hogwarts Legacy‘s sweeping Highland territories.
Upgrading Alohomora to Max Level
Returning the initial 9 demiguise moons to Gladwin Moon unlocks Alohomora Level 2, enabling you to access locked level 2 doors and chests. After collecting 13 more for a total of 22 statues, Gladwin further upgrades Alohomora to max level 3.
This grants the ability to open nearly any lock barring your exploration throughout Hogwarts Legacy‘s magical world. I highly recommend hunting down all discoverable demiguise moons not only for the achievement, but also for the huge quality of life improvement gaining Alohomora level 3 provides.
Plus, Gladwin is counting on you to help recover his precious sculptures of his beloved pet demiguise! Once you‘ve completed his quest by collecting all 33 demiguise moons, he‘ll be forever grateful for reuniting him with his charming silver creatures.
Final Tips and Concluding Thoughts
And there you have it – a complete guide detailing the locations of all 33 demiguise moons in Hogwarts Legacy across Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Highlands. Refer back to this walkthrough if you ever get stuck hunting them down.
As a final tip, don‘t forget to utilize Revalio charm magic near obscure hidden rooms or level-locked doors. This can help detect interactive objects like the elusive demiguise statues through walls to prevent aimless searching.
Uncovering these adorable ape figurines bolsters your magical prowess considerably via Alohomora upgrades while also rewarding your exploration. I hope this guide helps you recover every last demiguise moon statue scattered throughout this rich, magical world. Now go unleash your heart‘s desires upon Hogwarts Legacy, and happy hunting!
