The Sort Who Makes an Entrance

Complete Main Quest № 1: The Path to Hogwarts and go through Sorting Ceremony.

First Class Student

Right after you find yourself at Hogwarts and get to know the students of your Home a little, Professor Wizzley will meet you and after a short tour you will have two story quests to choose from: Main Quest № 3: Charms Class or Main Quest № 4: Defence Against the Dark Arts Class .

Complete any of these to unlock this achievement.

Troll with the Punches

As soon as you finish all your business in Hogsmeade, two trolls will attack the village. You'll have to fight one of them. Complete this Main Quest № 7: Welcome to Hogsmeade to unlock an achievement.

The Auror’s Apprentice/The Gryffindor in the Graveyard/The Wise Owl/The Toast of the Town

First of all choose a House to join. Your answers during the Sorting Ceremony doesn`t affect anything, so you still have an oppurtunity to pick a House you like. But as long you chose your house during the Sorting Ceremony this can`t be changed



Every achievement unlocks during Main Quest № 18: Jackdaw’s Rest.

So you get one achievement with your first playthrough, but to unlock other achievement, you have to start a game 3 additional times and finish Main Quest: Jackdaw’s Rest each time. That`s why I can call all these achievement missable.

I can mention that there is a fast way to unlock these achievements. You have to find savefiles from other player right before the moment this achievement unlocks, but they have to choose the House you need in the Sorting Ceremony. I can`t show you where to get those savefiles, but keep that tip in mind, if you`re looking the easy way.

That’s a Keeper

Complete Main Quest № 23: Percival Rackham’s Trial.

The Defender of Dragons

Complete Main Quest № 34: Fire and Vice.

The Hallowed Hero

Complete Main Quest № 40: Niamh Fitzgerald’s Trial.

Coasting Along

Unlocks during Main Quest № 41: In the Shadow of the Mountain. As part of this story quest you will have to go through Region: Coastal Caverns to reach Region: Poidsear Coast, which brings you to the southern half of the world map. You can also go there earlier if you wish, it is accessible as soon as you can free-roam.

The One Who Mastered Memories

Unlocks during Main Quest № 43: San Bakar’s Trial. You automatically see all other Pensieve Memories as part of previous main quests, they are main objectives and you can’t miss any of them.

Grappling with a Graphorn

Complete Main Quest № 43: San Bakar’s Trial.

The Hero of Hogwarts

Complete Main Quest № 45: The Final Repository.

The Seeker of Knowledge

Complete Main Quest № 47: The House Cup.

The Root of the Problem

Mandrake is a type of combat plant that you can use in battle. It creates a loud cry that stuns nearby enemies.



Buy the “Mandrake Seed” from Shop: Dogweed and Deathcap in the north of Hogsmeade (mushroom icon on map). It costs 800 money.

You can then plant these seeds infinitely at no cost and they take 10 minutes to grow Mandrakes for harvest.



Then you can pick a free Mandrake stun bomb every 10 minutes in your inventory. Hold TAB to pick this bomb and use it to stun different enemies.

Loom for Improvement

Unlocks during Main Quest № 28: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom – as part of a main story objective you will be taught how to upgrade gear at this point.

Third Time’s a Charm

Complete Main Quest № 28: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom. This unlocks the “Enchanted Loom” for the Room of Requirement. It’s the upgrade station for your gear.



So now you can place it to upgrade one piece of gear 3 times. You can’t upgrade green rarity gear, only blue/purple/yellow items.

A Keen Sense of Spell/Finishing Touches

Ancient Magic is unlocked during Main Quest № 7: Welcome to Hogsmeade.



It is used when the blue Ancient Magic Meter in the bottom right of the screen has charged up. It automatically charges whenever you deal damage or suffer damage, and every 10 hit-combo drops blue orbs that greatly increase it.

There are 69 enemy types in the game, however for this trophy you only need 34 of 69. The unique/missable enemies aren’t needed for it. For example, Death Trolls or Death’s Dark Mongrels that only appear during a specific story section don’t increase the counter and aren’t needed.



Always use Ancient Magic on new enemies you encounter. Focus on this from the start and the trophy should come naturally as you work on the other achievements.

Raising Expectations

Getting this achievement is much easier than you think. Find a large stack of enemies (6-8 at once) and not to hit them with critical hits. Make pauses between basic attacks on LMB in order not to chain them into combos and fill the counter in this way.

Keep attacking to raise hits amount and remember to timely press Q to block an enemy attack or Ctrl to dodge if the attack cannot be blocked. If you take any damage, you will have to start all over again. Reach 100 hits to unlock achievement.



It also doesn't really matter on what difficulty to complete this achievement: if you play on medium and high difficulty, then the enemies will be tenacious enough so that they can be attacked longer and therefore increase the counter.

On the other hand, if you are playing on easy difficulty, then even when fighting against a large amount of opponents, they will only attack one at a time, which greatly simplifies the fight and dodging.

The Ends Petrify the Means

First unlock two spells required for this achievement: Disillusionment and Petrificus Totalus.

Image	Name	Description	How to learn
	DISILLUSIONMENT	Causes you to blend into your surroundings, making it more difficult for others to perceive you. Perfect for sneaking or approaching enemies undetected to be able to cast Petrificus Totalus.	Complete Main Quest № 10: Secrets of the Restricted Section
	PETRIFICUS TOTALUS	Sneak up undetected to an enemy to defeat enemy permanently	Complete Main Quest № 10: Secrets of the Restricted Section

First one make you invisible so you can sneak up to enemies from behind and press E to cast Petrificus Totalus and "backstab" enemy.

Do this a total of 50 times while being invisible to unlock the achievement.

A Talent for Spending/Savvy Spender

Complete Main Quest № 18: Jackdaw’s Rest to unlock Talent Section.



Your hero Level 1-4 don’t give a point and level 5-40 give one point each, for 36 points total. So when you complete Main Quest I mentioned above you`ll have to spend all your available talent points.
All talents are divided into 5 separate sections, each of which allows you to unlock different useful perks you may need.



As soon as you spend 5 talent points A Talent for Spending achievement should unlock and reach maximum Level 40 to unlock Savvy Spender achievement.

The Spell Master

Hogwarts Legacy has 34 Spells total. Learning all spells unlocks The Spell Master achievement, but the 3 Unforgivable Curses are not needed cause they are missable. To unlock spells you have to complete Main Quests or Assignments Side Missions. Each new spell learning looks like a mini game.



There are over a thousand collectibles in this game. Therefore, I created additional guide where I show how to get everything you need to unlock this. Check Spells Section to find more info about ways to unlock this achievement.

[Akunamatata]

SokBritish, Yes, It's a bug. It happened to me too, and the same fix as with Percival Rackham's trial bug helped: Remove your mods from your ~mods folder and put this file there: https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/1364?tab=files
Then load the savegame BEFORE you talk with Percival Rackham's portrait at the end of the quest, and after you get the achievement you can exit the game, remove that file and put your mods back.

[SokBritish]

I'm on my 2nd playthrough as Hufflepuff and the achivement didn't pop when I finished Jackdaw's quest. Is it bug?

[V4D4RS F1ST 97]

i recommend putting a section where you clearly spell out which achievements are hidden ones on steam.

[Akunamatata]

My last secret achievement "The Toast of the Town" (Finding the Map Chamber as a Slytherin) didn't register! I completed the "Jackdaw's Rest" quest, but haven't got the achievement... All my other completed achievements (42/45) registered just fine...
Any suggestion for a fix, please?

[Gi]

In the Shadow of Friendship doesn't appear to me. Also, there are two exploring collection missing... Any tips of how to make Shadow of Friendship appear? I've already finished the main quests, now there's only Weasley's watchful eyes

[Tobey Maguire]

give me a hack achievement plz

[Mitsuha]

falta uma missao segundaria pra eu completar, mas ela nao esta em nenhum lugar

[Multidoting]

Hi, is there something wrong with the success : " Savvy Spender"??
I've reach the lvl 40 on the char, spending all talents point and dont received the achievment ...
PLS need Help :'(

[XEALEEN]

I also thought so initially that it might turn out that not any of the dungeons are required for achievement, so yes, I will need to make a mention of this.

[Jedo]

The reason others, including myself, claim that there are 5 of the cairn dungeons is because cairns are a specific type of dungeon. Just because they share the same icon does not mean they are all considered cairn. Cairn = Tomb. You will know that there are only 5 of them required that count towards the achievement because the achievement pops when you visit those 5. Just clarifying in case people start thinking the achievement is related to all 12 locations. It is not.
