Hogwarts Legacy 100% guide

Hogwarts Legacy has 45 Xbox achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S use the same achievement list. All 45 achievements are single-player and can be earned offline; there are no online or co-op requirements, no difficulty achievements, and no New Game+ requirement.

The efficient completion is one full playthrough on any house, followed by three short Story-difficulty characters for the other houses. Each extra character only needs to reach the Map Chamber after Jackdaw's Rest, usually roughly 1.5-3 hours with dialogue and cutscenes skipped.

There are no completion-critical missables on the full-run character. Story completion leaves the world available for free-roam cleanup, and the major collectible, side-quest, relationship, combat, and exploration requirements remain obtainable. There is no mission replay, but it is not needed for the main completion route. The one permanent character choice that matters is your house, which is why four character files are required for the four Map Chamber achievements.

As of 2026-09-20, no achievement is CURRENTLY CONFIRMED UNOBTAINABLE or CURRENTLY CONFIRMED DISCONTINUED.

The 2024 content update added the Haunted Shop quest, Felix Felicis, Lavender Borealis broom, cosmetics, and other formerly exclusive content to Xbox, but it did not add achievements. You do not need the Dark Arts Battle Arena, the bonus potion, or post-launch cosmetics for the original 1,000G.

For the full run, Story difficulty is the fastest setting and does not disable achievements. It also offers an auto-solve option on the Alohomora lock screen, which saves considerable time during the collection sweep.

Use one character for every cumulative and collection achievement. Do not rely on the three short house files to contribute to your main character's long-term progress.

From the moment Ancient Magic becomes usable, use the Ancient Magic finisher on every new standard enemy variant you meet. The game does not provide a useful per-enemy checklist for this achievement, so a small manual note prevents a painful late-game recheck.

Use Petrificus Totalus whenever you can approach an enemy under Disillusionment. You need fifty kills with it, and steadily taking camp sentries this way is much faster than farming all fifty at the end.

Do Duel Feats during normal combat when practical, open every Collection Chest you naturally pass, activate every Floo Flame, and claim Challenge rewards from the Field Guide instead of leaving them unclaimed. Several collection entries are awarded through Challenges, so completing a challenge without claiming its reward is not enough for final collection cleanup.

Do not exhaustively clear Hogwarts or the Highlands early. Many puzzles and doors require later spells or Alohomora upgrades. This route deliberately postpones the large sweeps until every important traversal spell and Alohomora III are available.

Play the opening normally. Your house choice only determines which one of the four Map Chamber achievements you earn on this full run. Pick whichever house you actually want to play; the other three are handled with short characters at the end.

Buy the required school supplies while the story walks you through Hogsmeade. Do not spend heavily on optional cosmetics yet; later Room of Requirement recipes, seeds, and collection purchases are a better use of early money.

Continue through The Locket's Secret, Professor Hecat's Assignment 1, Secrets of the Restricted Section, and Tomes and Tribulations. Complete the Crossed Wands and spell-practice requirements as Hecat asks for them.

Disillusionment and Petrificus Totalus now make the long stealth-kill achievement practical.

While Professor Fig is away, complete Herbology Class, Potions Class, The Girl from Uagadou, and Trials of Merlin.

Trials of Merlin permanently introduces Merlin Trials. Solve ones that are directly on your route, but do not sweep all of them yet. Some are much faster after you have more spells, broom travel, and a steady supply of Mallowsweet.

Complete the house-exclusive quest that appears after Trials of Merlin, then Professor Hecat's Assignment 2 and Jackdaw's Rest. The house-specific quest differs, but all four routes converge before the Map Chamber.

Your full-run character earns exactly one of the next four achievements here. The other three remain intentionally deferred until the final section.

Once Jackdaw's Rest is complete, take Follow the Butterflies from Clementine Willardsey inside the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. Sources disagree on exactly when she first offers it; if she is not offering it yet, keep advancing the story, check the Three Broomsticks after each main-story step, and take it as soon as it appears. It is reliably available by the Flying Class and first Keeper trial part of the story. Until this quest is finished, do not follow any wild butterfly swarm.

Continue through Flying Class and buy a broom when Spintwitches Sporting Needs becomes available in Hogsmeade.

Start Flight Test as soon as it appears. The broom-race line is story-gated between races, so this is one achievement that should be progressed in stages instead of saved as one late grind.

Complete The Room of Requirement when it appears. Once you can place stations, invest in utility before cosmetics.

Buy the remaining standard potion recipes from J. Pippin's Potions: Maxima, Invisibility, Focus, and Thunderbrew. Buy the three combat-plant seeds from Dogweed and Deathcap: Chinese Chomping Cabbage, Mandrake, and Venomous Tentacula. These seven purchases are also Tools entries required for Collector's Edition, so make them at your first affordable Hogsmeade visit. Buy any other seeds you still need from The Magic Neep, and obtain potting tables large enough for every plant type from Tomes and Scrolls. Grow Mallowsweet continuously for later Merlin Trials.

Collector's Edition eventually needs all 16 conjurations sold at Tomes and Scrolls, about 24,850 gold in total, so buy them progressively as gold allows; many are useful potting and brewing stations anyway.

Professor Garlick's Assignment 1 becomes available around In the Shadow of the Undercroft, and Assignment 2 is offered as soon as Assignment 1 is complete. Assignment 2 is not gated by The Map Chamber, but it does need Room of Requirement potting space: grow Fluxweed in a Large Pot, and have Chinese Chomping Cabbage, Venomous Tentacula, and Mandrake all active during one fight.

Once The Room of Requirement is done and you have the Large Pot and the three combat-plant seeds, finish both assignments to learn Flipendo. Then take a short detour to a Highland cow herd; the area around Brocburrow and the herds east and northeast of Hogsmeade are convenient.

Complete In the Shadow of the Undercroft and continue the main route through The Map Chamber.

Complete Percival Rackham's Trial. Keep using Ancient Magic on new enemy variants during the trial.

Complete The Caretaker's Lunar Lament as soon as it appears. This gives you Alohomora, has you collect three Demiguise statues as mandatory quest objectives, and starts The Man Behind the Moons.

This is the best point for one deliberate Demiguise push because Alohomora II and III prevent repeated trips through Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Highlands later. Demiguise statues can only be collected at night; use the map's Wait function whenever necessary.

Follow Mr Moon's quest requirements exactly: bring him 9 Demiguise Moons to learn Alohomora II, then another 13 (22 total) to learn Alohomora III. With level III available, continue collecting the remaining Moons while you are already visiting their locations.

The 30 free-roam statues are listed in the Collectibles section: 10 in Hogwarts, 9 in Hogsmeade, and one in each of the 11 Highlands hamlets. None needs Alohomora III. Collect the unlocked and Level 1 statues first, turn in 9 Moons for Alohomora II, then return for the Level 2 statues. A few hamlet locks are disputed between sources (Aranshire, Marunweem, Bainburgh), so bring Alohomora II to those.

Continue through Beasts Class and The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom. The latter unlocks beast rescue, the Vivarium, and gear upgrading.

The first Vivarium is a forest biome, and it hides three collection chests that no map counter tracks. Each gives a random conjuration needed for Collector's Edition, so open them on your first visit:

• Hilltop: go left (north) from the entrance and climb two levels; the chest is on top of the small hill.
• South trail: return to the entrance, head south along the trail beside the large rock around the cave, follow it to the end, and drop down; the chest is at the end of the right-hand path.
• Cave: drop further down and crawl into the cave on the left (visible ahead as you enter the room); the chest is just inside on the right.

Three more Vivariums open later through Deek's quests, each with three more chests.

Professor Garlick's assignments and the Room of Requirement make Mandrakes easy to grow in bulk. Carry them into fights instead of saving them indefinitely.

Continue the main story through The Helm of Urtkot. Inferius encountered around this part of the game give you an easy way to build a large combo because they do not take normal damage until ignited.

After The Helm of Urtkot, Sirona Ryan in the Three Broomsticks offers the side quest A Friend in Deed. Its fight at Horklump Hollow includes a standard Mountain Troll; use the Ancient Magic finisher on it for Finishing Touches.

Continue through The High Keep, Astronomy Class, Back on the Path, and Charles Rookwood's Trial.

Do Professor assignments when they appear rather than postponing them. They unlock required spells and prevent The Spell Master from becoming a late checklist.

Madam Kogawa's two assignments each spawn two balloon sets that only exist while that assignment is active, and all four count toward the 32 balloon sets for the Pop Balloons Challenge. Assignment 1 (which teaches Glacius) uses the sets above Hogsmeade Station and around the Quidditch Pitch; Assignment 2 (which teaches Arresto Momentum) uses The Spires and Keenbridge Tower sets in Hogwarts Valley. Pop every balloon in each set while the assignment is running.

After The High Keep, you have substantially better travel and beast access. Continue the relationship questlines for Natsai, Poppy, Sebastian, and Deek whenever their next steps appear, but do not stop the main story to force a relationship quest that has not unlocked yet.

Deek offers The Plight of the House-Elf only after The High Keep, so take it now. Its boss fight takes place in Spinners Cavern in the Forbidden Forest.

The quest also opens the Coastal Vivarium. Some sources say the beach room opens when the quest starts and others when it is completed, so check the Room of Requirement once the quest begins and again when it ends. Open its three hidden chests as soon as you can enter:

• North ledge path: go left (north) from the entry, climb the first ledge, go straight through the narrow rocky passage, and take the first right; the chest is at the end of that path.
• Rocky island: head east to the beach and swim out to the flat rocky island; climb the ledge on its left side to the chest on top.
• Cave: head northwest from the island into the cave; the chest is beneath a small tree on the left.

Advance through Fire and Vice with Poppy.

After the story makes Professor Weasley's Assignment available, complete it and learn Transformation. Clear any other unfinished professor assignments now.

Also complete Interior Decorating in the Room of Requirement if you have ignored it, because the Altering Spell is part of the non-Dark-Arts spell set.

Complete In the Shadow of the Mine. The final Imelda race for The Sky is the Limit is now in its safe story window.

Finish the third broom trial and complete its quest progression now if you have been following the staged broom route. This should finish Flight the Good Flight if it did not already unlock at the race itself.

Continue through It's All Gobbledegook, The Headmistress Speaks, and The Polyjuice Plot.

Because this route already obtained Alohomora III, you can collect the castle-height achievement on the same trip instead of returning later.

Continue through The Polyjuice Plot into Niamh Fitzgerald's Trial.

Continue into In the Shadow of the Mountain and the late-game southern route. The Coastal Cavern passage is the normal gateway into Poidsear Coast and the regions beyond.

This quest includes a mountain troll fight. If Mountain Troll is still unticked on your Finishing Touches list, use the Ancient Magic finisher on it here.

Continue through Lodgok's Loyalty and San Bakar's Trial. This is the important late-game gate for Graphorn-related completion.

By now, continue or complete Foal of the Dead so you have the Breeding Pen. Capture a male and female of each breedable species as needed.

Completing Foal of the Dead also opens the Swamp Vivarium. Open its three hidden chests on your first visit after the quest is complete:

• Lit ledge behind the entry: turn back toward the light as you enter, hop across the rocks between the lamppost and tree roots, and climb the ledge on that piece of land.
• Large rock to the west: with your back to the gate, find the large rock with a light to the west, climb the lamppost ledge, jump the gap to the rock formation, and turn right; the chest is at the bottom of a tree.
• Northeast island cave: cross east to the next island and go north to the mound through the gaps in the tree roots, burn the cobweb with Incendio or Confringo, and cast Revelio to clear the fog; the chest is behind a boulder.

The twelve breedable species are Puffskein, Fwooper, Jobberknoll, Graphorn, Mooncalf, Unicorn, Niffler, Thestral, Giant Purple Toad, Kneazle, Diricawl, and Hippogriff. Phoenix cannot be bred and is not part of this achievement.

The late game gives you dependable access to the rarer beast materials needed for high-tier gear upgrades.

Complete Wand Mastery and then The Final Repository.

There is no achievement tied to choosing one repository ending over another. Pick the story choice you want. There is also no difficulty requirement for the final fight.

Now clear any relationship quests that did not naturally fit between main-story gates. These chains are not mutually exclusive, and completing one does not block the others.

For Deek, finish The Plight of the House-Elf, Foal of the Dead, and Phoenix Rising. Phoenix Rising is offered after Niamh Fitzgerald's Trial, and completing it opens the Mountain Vivarium. Open its three hidden chests right away:

• Rock bridge: head southwest from the entry and climb three levels; the chest is at the end of the path on top of the bridge-like rock formation.
• Past the rock arch: drop to the second level, go left through the rock arch, and follow the path right to where it ends.
• Ruined building: head north to the abandoned ruin, go through the doorway and the entrances on the right, burn the cobwebs with Incendio or Confringo, and continue to the chest.

That completes all 12 Vivarium chests. After each one, confirm a new-conjuration notification appeared; if none did, reload before moving on.

For Natsai, finish her chain through Harlow's Last Stand and Acting On Instinct.

For Poppy, finish her chain through The Centaur and the Stone, A Bird in the Hand, and Poppy Blooms.

For Sebastian, finish his chain through the final In the Shadow quests. Learning or refusing the Unforgivable Curses does not affect the achievement.

Five named quests take you through the cairn dungeons required by the exploration achievement: The Helm of Urtkot, Cursed Tomb Treasure, 'Beeting' a Curse, In the Shadow of Time, and The Centaur and the Stone. Each cairn is entered through its quest.

The main story and relationship cleanup have already covered several of them. Finish the two side-quest dungeons if they are still outstanding.

Use the Quests menu and completed-quest list to clear every remaining original side quest. Nothing in the base side-quest set becomes permanently unavailable after the story.

The Haunted Shop quest, Minding Your Own Business, added to Xbox in 2024 is worthwhile content but is not required for the original all-side-quests achievement.

After the story, complete Weasley's Watchful Eye and reach level 34. If you are below 34, do the side quests and world activities in the next section first, then return.

With every required spell, Alohomora III, broom travel, and the Headmaster's area open, Hogwarts can now be cleared without repeated locked-door returns.

Use the Hogwarts map counters wing by wing. Collect all Collection Chests, Demiguise statues if any remain, Astronomy Table, and Field Guide Pages. Revelio constantly in corridors and use the audio cue for nearby pages.

Field Guide Page Challenge tiers count from zero again after each tier, so the Hogwarts row needs 100 Hogwarts pages in total. Collect every Hogwarts Revelio page (all 150 Revelio pages across the game are Collections entries) plus enough flying and mirror pages to finish all five Hogwarts tiers. Check the Challenges menu row rather than counting by hand.

Complete the other two Hogwarts Secrets if you have not already done them. The Admittance Key secret should already be complete from Room with a View. All three Secrets are needed for their Challenge row, which awards three Appearances.

• Clock Tower doors: in the Clock Tower pendulum room (Clock Tower Courtyard Floo), four grated doors carry the symbols Unicorn, Owl, Goblet, and Mantis, matching marks under the pendulum's swing. Wait until the pendulum is over a door's symbol and cast Arresto Momentum on it; that door stays open briefly. The Unicorn door is in the main room, Owl is one floor up through a locked door, Goblet is a floor above that, and Mantis is in the stairwell, so freeze the pendulum on Mantis and hurry. You need Arresto Momentum from Madam Kogawa's Assignment 2 and Alohomora I for the upper doors.
• Viaduct Bridge braziers: walk out onto the Viaduct Bridge from the Central Hall side. Light all four braziers with Incendio or Confringo, then rotate each one to the Roman numeral shown on the floor seal at the start of the bridge. Looking across from the Library side, set them to near-left IV, far-left I, near-right II, and far-right III. A hatch opens to a hidden walkway under the bridge with a legendary chest and two collection chests.

Finish The Daedalian Keys from Nellie Oggspire in the Transfiguration Courtyard. Revelio highlights each flying key; follow it to its cabinet and time the key into the lock to earn a House Token. The 16 keys are listed by wing in the Collectibles section; the two dungeon keys need the Map Chamber opened by the story, the Clock Tower key needs Alohomora I, and some sources also lock the Faculty Tower and Hospital Wing keys, all of which you have by now. Place all 16 House Tokens in your house chest, then speak to Nellie. Its House Relic robe reward is one of the quest Appearances needed for Collector's Edition.

Do both Depulso Puzzle Rooms before declaring the castle clear. Both need Depulso from Professor Sharp's Assignment 1. Room 1 is reached from the Potions classroom Floo area; Room 2 is behind the locked door at the back of the History of Magic classroom and needs Alohomora. Their chests give exploration conjurations that no map counter tracks.

Clear Hogsmeade's Collection Chests, remaining Field Guide Pages, and any unfinished side quests. Hogsmeade has 55 Field Guide Pages (30 Revelio, 20 flying, 5 mirror) and its Challenge row needs 50, so collect all 55 to be safe.

Buy any collection-linked items you still lack: the four J. Pippin's recipes and three Dogweed and Deathcap seeds, all 16 Tomes and Scrolls conjurations, and the five Spintwitches brooms (Ember Dash, Hogwarts House, Moon Trimmer, Wind Wisp, Yew Weaver). No wand handles are sold anywhere. As cheap insurance, also buy every remaining seed at The Magic Neep and recipe at J. Pippin's; a few launch-era players only saw the achievement unlock after doing so. Post-update bonus cosmetics and the Lavender Borealis broom are not reasons to keep spending money.

Do the Highlands once, from north to south, instead of repeatedly crossing the map for one collectible type at a time.

Use this regional order: North Ford Bog, Hogsmeade Valley, North Hogwarts Region, South Hogwarts Region, Hogwarts Valley, Feldcroft Region, South Sea Bog and Coastal Cavern, Poidsear Coast, Marunweem Lake, Manor Cape, Cragcroftshire, then Clagmar Coast.

In each region, finish the visible completion categories before moving on: Floo Flames, side quests and hamlets, Collection Chests and Bandit Camps, Merlin Trials, Ancient Magic Hotspots, balloon sets, Landing Platforms, Astronomy Tables, Infamous Foes, and Field Guide Pages. Use the regional map counters to confirm these. The Highlands Field Guide Challenge row needs 30 Highlands pages, which is effectively every Highlands page.

At each Bandit Camp, open the collection chest; it should award a Trait. If one ever opens without awarding a Trait, stop and reload immediately before doing anything else; contents re-roll on reload. No dedicated save before each chest is needed.

Butterfly trails have no map icon or counter, so use this list. A swarm only shows on the minimap at close range and never respawns once its chest is opened, so a swarm still visible at a listed spot means that trail is not done. At each one, follow the swarm until it settles, cast Revelio, and open the chest:

• North Ford Bog: north or northeast of Pitt-Upon-Ford, along the eastern road out of the hamlet.
• Hogsmeade Valley: in the hills east of Hogsmeade, past the lake, near a Merlin Trial.
• North Hogwarts Region: from the East North Hogwarts Floo Flame, follow the river far west with the bandit camps on your right; the chest is on the north bank, southwest of Jackdaw's Tomb near a Niffler den.
• Forbidden Forest: from Jackdaw's Tomb, cross east past the forest lake toward the mountain path, past a bandit camp to a rundown building.
• South Hogwarts Region: on the tall cliffs southwest of the Quidditch Pitch, near a stone archway and a Merlin Trial.
• South Hogwarts Region: south of Aranshire, near a Merlin Trial; the swarm can hide under the bridge south of the hamlet.
• Hogwarts Valley: west of Brocburrow at the railway viaduct, east of the Central Hogwarts Valley Floo Flame; the chest is below the arches.
• Hogwarts Valley: west of Keenbridge, along the western road toward the cliffs past the ruins.
• Hogwarts Valley: east or southeast of Keenbridge on the north bank of the river, near a ruin and the bandit camp castle.
• Feldcroft Region: north of Feldcroft and southeast of North Feldcroft, on the cliff edge facing Rookwood Castle across the bay.
• Feldcroft Region: from the Feldcroft Catacomb Floo Flame, head southeast to the cliff edge south of a bandit camp, above an enemy camp.
• Poidsear Coast: northern Poidsear Coast, outside the Coastal Cavern and north of Poidsear Castle; reaching it may mean passing through the cave's strong enemies.
• Poidsear Coast: next to the South Poidsear Coast Floo Flame by Marunweem Lake.
• Clagmar Coast: north of the Clagmar Coast region, west of Cragcroft and south of a bandit camp.

Together with the Follow the Butterflies chest, that is all 15 butterfly trails. After every chest, confirm a new-conjuration notification appeared; if it did not, reload before moving on.

The 32 balloon sets (28 open-world sets plus the four Madam Kogawa assignment sets) and the 20 Landing Platforms are listed by region in the Collectibles section with a nearby Floo Flame or landmark. Balloon sets feed the Pop Balloons Challenge (brooms at 2, 7, 17, and 32 sets) and platforms feed the Landing Platforms Challenge (Quidditch Captain appearances at 2, 6, 12, and 20). One balloon set is inside the Coastal Cavern and is easy to miss on the overworld map.

In Hogwarts Valley, the Silver Arrow broom from Arn only becomes available after the side quest Carted Away. Buy the four roaming-vendor brooms as you pass them: Sky Scythe from Leopold Babcoke in Hogsmeade Valley, Silver Arrow from Arn, Family Antique from Priya Treadwell in Feldcroft, and Aeromancer from Rohan Prakash on Poidsear Coast.

Keep performing Duel Feats and the remaining Combat Challenges while sweeping. Challenge tiers reset to zero after each tier, so the Duelling Feats row needs over a hundred feats in total; follow the Challenges menu. Challenge rewards contain appearances, Traits, brooms, and conjurations, so collection completion requires more than simply opening world chests.

Activate every Floo Flame you pass during the regional sweep. The map makes missing nodes easy to identify once you zoom by region.

Complete the standard Battle Arena in North Ford Bog and the standard Battle Arena in Feldcroft during their respective regional sweeps.

The Dark Arts Battle Arena is bonus content and does not count toward this achievement. At each standard arena, break the surrounding vases to unlock the arena, enter, and defeat every wave.

These arenas are also good places to finish Mandrake stuns, Combat Challenges, Duel Feats, and Ancient Magic enemy checks. Their waves are fixed and the arenas can be repeated, so use the finisher on these if they are still unticked:

• North Ford Bog Battle Arena: Ashwinder and Poacher Executioners, the Poacher Animagus in both forms, Inferi, and Venomous Shooters and Matriarchs.
• Feldcroft Battle Arena: Venomous Ambushers, all five Loyalist types, Stoneback and Cottongrass Dugbogs, and Dark Mongrels.

Each standard arena also awards an Appearance needed for Collector's Edition.

Carry a large stack of Mallowsweet from the Room of Requirement and solve every Merlin Trial as you work south.

If a trial appears unsolvable, identify the puzzle mechanic before leaving the region. By this point you have every spell needed, so there is no longer a story gate to justify postponing it.

If The Ends Petrify the Means is still locked, use remaining camps for stealth takedowns before entering open combat.

If Finishing Touches is still locked, compare your manual list of the 34 with Collections > Enemies, read the Xbox progress percentage if one is shown, and check the commonly missed types in this order: regular Mongrel, River Troll, Venomous Shooter, the Dugbogs (especially Great Spined), the Poacher Animagus (including its wolf form), the Ambushers, and the Executioners. Re-run the Battle Arenas for the types they guarantee. The core types with no arena source are the Poacher Duellist, Great Spined Dugbog, Thornback Ambusher, Shooter and Matriarch, the Forest, Mountain, and River Trolls, and the regular Mongrel.

Troubleshooting only: if every one of the 34 is ticked and the achievement is still locked, finish the extra types some published lists include. An Acromantula appears in the North Ford Bog arena's final wave (and as the boss of The Plight of the House-Elf). Armoured and Fighter Trolls appear in the Feldcroft arena. A Fortified Troll has no arena source; look in troll lairs and at the medium bandit camp and goblin base in southern South Sea Bog. Spider hatchlings are not on any list.

Do not farm random enemies for experience once their relevant Challenges are complete. Level progression is primarily driven by Field Guide Challenge completion, so finishing the remaining Challenges is the efficient route to level 40.

At this point, use the Collections and Challenges menus as your diagnostic tools rather than roaming randomly. Every original collection source is still available in post-story free roam; nothing is missable by design.

Collector's Edition checks the Collections menu. The original set is 603 entries across ten categories. On current Xbox some visible counters include post-2024 or bonus items that are not required, so compare each category with the required total, not the visible one:

• Tools: 9. Wiggenweld and Edurus come from the story; the other seven are the four J. Pippin's recipes and three Dogweed and Deathcap seeds you buy. The counter shows 10 because of Felix Felicis, which is not required.
• Enemies: 67. An entry is added the first time you fight a type. Sources are story and quest bosses, all Infamous Foes, Bandit Camps, both standard Battle Arenas, troll lairs, spider nests, and Dugbog areas. Easily missed: the Rampant Dugbog (an Infamous Foe) and Grodbik inside The Coastal Mine. The counter shows 69 because of the Haunted Shop quest's Puppet and Fastidious Monster, which are not required.
• Appearances: 78. That is 49 Challenge rewards, 27 quest rewards, and the 2 standard Battle Arena rewards. Deluxe, Dark Arts Pack, Haunted Shop Shopkeeper set, Azkaban gear, and other bonus cosmetics are not required, so the visible total will be higher.
• Revelio Pages: 150. Only Revelio pages are Collections entries. Flying and mirror pages only matter for the Field Guide Page Challenges, which need 100 Hogwarts, 50 Hogsmeade, and 30 Highlands pages because each tier counts from zero.
• Beasts: 13. An entry is added on first encounter. The Unicorn needs the side quest The Unique Unicorn and the Phoenix needs Deek's chain through Phoenix Rising.
• Traits: 75. That is 24 Challenge rewards (three from each of the seven combat kill rows and three from Upgrade Gear), the collection chest inside each of the 50 Bandit Camps, and Scorching I from The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom.
• Wand Handles: 42. That is 37 from Collection Chests and 5 from the side quests Brother's Keeper, Absconder Encounter, E-Vase-Ive Manoeuvre, Gobs of Gobstones, and Flying Off the Shelves. None are sold.
• Conjurations: 140. That is the 16 Tomes and Scrolls items, 25 quest rewards, the 3 Rescue Beasts Challenge rewards, and 96 exploration finds. Exploration finds come from map-tracked Collection Chests, the two Depulso Puzzle Rooms, the 15 butterfly trails, the 12 Vivarium chests, and chests in quest-unlocked areas such as the Admittance Key room. Which chest gives which conjuration is random.
• Ingredients: 16. An entry is added on first acquisition. All except Moonstone can be bought; mine Moonstone from blue ore or use Evanesco in the Room of Requirement.
• Brooms: 13. These are 9 vendor brooms (the five at Spintwitches plus Sky Scythe, Silver Arrow, Family Antique, and Aeromancer) and 4 balloon Challenge rewards for popping all 32 balloon sets. Lavender Borealis is granted automatically by the 2024 update and is not required.

Exploration activities feed the collection like this: Astronomy Tables, Landing Platforms, and the three Hogwarts Secrets award Appearances through their Challenge rows, and balloon sets award brooms. Ancient Magic Hotspots and Merlin Trials award no Collections entries; they are still needed for their own Challenges and for Merlin's Beard!.

Every Challenge reward must be claimed by selecting the completed tier in the Challenges menu. A completed but unclaimed tier leaves its Appearance, Trait, broom, or conjuration missing.

Make a final check after the Highlands sweep: claim every completed Challenge tier, then compare each Collections category with the totals above.

Your full Challenge cleanup should carry the main character to level 40. If you are short, look for unfinished Challenge progress instead of repeatedly killing enemies whose combat Challenges are already complete.

Only begin these after the full-run character is finished or safely saved.

Create one new character for each house achievement you still lack. Set difficulty to Story, skip dialogue and cutscenes, ignore exploration, and do only required main quests and mandatory assignments. On Xbox, hold Y to skip most cutscenes and tap Y to advance dialogue. Expect roughly 1.5-3 hours per house.

Optional time-saver, not a confirmed method: on the first sprint character, make a manual save immediately after the Sorting. On later sprints, reloading the pre-Sorting The Path to Hogwarts autosave and choosing a different house may let you re-sort without replaying the prologue. If it does not behave that way on your save, simply create a fresh character.

The repeat route is: The Path to Hogwarts, Welcome to Hogwarts, both first classes, Weasley After Class, Professor Ronen's Assignment, Welcome to Hogsmeade, The Locket's Secret, Professor Hecat's Assignment 1, Secrets of the Restricted Section, Tomes and Tribulations, Herbology Class, Potions Class, The Girl from Uagadou, Trials of Merlin, that house's exclusive Jackdaw lead-in, Professor Hecat's Assignment 2, then Jackdaw's Rest.

Each house has a different exclusive quest immediately before the shared Jackdaw route: Scrope's Last Hope for Slytherin, Prisoner of Love for Hufflepuff, The Hunt for the Missing Pages for Gryffindor, and Ollivander's Heirloom for Ravenclaw.

Do not collect side content, buy optional gear, clear Merlin Trials, or build out the Room of Requirement on these files. The sprint ends the moment the corresponding Map Chamber achievement unlocks.

If your full run was not Slytherin, create a Slytherin character and follow the fast route through Scrope's Last Hope and Jackdaw's Rest. Stop when The Toast of the Town unlocks.

If your full run was not Hufflepuff, create a Hufflepuff character and follow the fast route through Prisoner of Love and Jackdaw's Rest. Stop when The Auror's Apprentice unlocks.

If your full run was not Gryffindor, create a Gryffindor character and follow the fast route through The Hunt for the Missing Pages and Jackdaw's Rest. Stop when The Gryffindor in the Graveyard unlocks.

If your full run was not Ravenclaw, create a Ravenclaw character and follow the fast route through Ollivander's Heirloom and Jackdaw's Rest. Stop when The Wise Owl unlocks.

Once the three missing house achievements have unlocked, the Xbox list should be 45/45 and 1,000/1,000G.
