Wondering how to snag those exclusive Pre Order and Deluxe Edition items in Hogwarts Legacy? This guide walks you through it, step-by-step!
Hey there! So you've got the Pre Order or Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy and you're wondering where all those cool bonus items are? Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you know where to look. Let's get you kitted out!
After you get through the prologue – which takes about an hour and introduces you to the game's basics as you explore some ruins and a goblin bank – you'll finally arrive at Hogwarts. Once you've been sorted into your House and spent your first night, you'll head to the common room for a chat with your new classmates.
The very next morning, after a quick catch-up in the common room, Professor Weasley will give you the Field Guide. Think of this as your main hub for everything in Hogwarts Legacy. It's where you'll find your Map, Quests, Challenges, and most importantly, your equipment. Make sure you hold onto it!
Once you've got the Field Guide, open up your menu and head to the Gear screen. You'll see all the slots where you can equip different gear. If you've got the Dark Arts pack, the special cosmetic items are found under the 'Appearance' options when you hover over a piece of equipment. Specifically, under the Cloaks and Robes slot, and the Outfit slot, you'll find the Dark Arts Robe and the Dark Arts Ensemble. Just remember, these are purely cosmetic – they look awesome but don't give you any stat boosts.
Now, about those bonus mounts, like the awesome Onyx Hippogriff? You'll have to wait a little longer to get those. You claim them the same way as the Dark Arts pack items – by heading to the Gear screen and going to the relevant slot. However, you won't be able to access this until you've unlocked the ability to use mounts in the game.
This means playing through a good chunk of the main story. You'll gain the ability to use mounts after completing the 19th main quest, which kicks off the Flying Class Quest. Once that's done, you'll be able to use your bonus mounts that you downloaded with your edition. Happy flying!
