Need help with the Sacking Selwyn side quest in Hogwarts Legacy? Follow our step-by-step guide to find and defeat the infamous Selwyn in Clagmar Coast.

Alright, so you're ready to take on the Sacking Selwyn quest in Hogwarts Legacy? Awesome! First things first, you'll need to have completed 'The Helm of Urtkot' quest. Once that's done, make your way to Cragcroft. Look for a woman named Hyacinth Olivier standing near the graves just outside the village – she'll have a quest marker above her head. Chat with her, and she'll send you off to deal with a rather infamous enemy named Selwyn over in the Clagmar Coast region.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Clagmar Coast: Once you've got the quest, the easiest way to get there is by hopping on your broomstick. You'll want to fly south of Cragcroft, towards the Clagmar Coast. Aim for the center of the map; you can't miss it because Clagmar Castle is right there and pretty obvious from the sky.
  2. 2
    Find Selwyn: Land your broom near the Clagmar Castle floo flame. Selwyn shouldn't be too hard to find once you're there. He's a bit tougher than your average foe, with more health and higher defense, so be prepared. Plus, he's got a bunch of Ashwinders hanging around him, so keep an eye on their attacks while you're duking it out with Selwyn.
  3. 3
    Defeat Selwyn: Use the environment to your advantage! There are plenty of throwable objects around the castle that can help break shields. Don't forget to use your Ancient Magic attacks too, as they'll take pretty big chunks out of Selwyn's health bar. Honestly, it shouldn't take too long to bring him down.
  4. 4
    Quest Completion: The quest doesn't actually require you to clear out the entire camp, just Selwyn. So, once he's defeated, you can either head straight back to Hyacinth Olivier in Cragcroft or, if you're feeling up for it, clear out the rest of the camp while you're there.
  5. 5
    Return to Hyacinth Olivier: Make your way back to Cragcroft and report back to Mrs. Olivier to wrap up the quest and get your reward. You can try asking for a bigger reward, but don't worry, it doesn't actually change anything significant besides the amount of Galleons you get.
Tips
  • Use throwable objects and Ancient Magic to break shields and deal significant damage to Selwyn.
  • Be mindful of the Ashwinders attacking alongside Selwyn.
  • You don't need to clear the entire camp to complete the quest; defeating Selwyn is enough.
  • Experience Points
  • Galleons
