A huge reason that Hogwarts Legacy has become so popular is because of their large collection of cut beasts, such as the little Puffskein’s, all the way to the huge majestic ones, such as the Hippogriff. During your adventures within this Wizarding World you’ll definitely come across your fair share of beasts. This game offers 13 different beasts just waiting for you to discover them.
Beasts
The amazing Wizarding World that you will be placed in and able to explore in this game really wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t have all of these amazing beasts roaming throughout the world. Within the Hogwarts Legacy game you’ll be able to actually interact with a lot of the beasts, which makes this whole experience just that much more interesting because you’ll be able to do more than just admire them from a distance. If you’re wondering where some of the beasts are found in this world you’ll be able to find different dens, where they will be located, on your map. If you’re wondering exactly what type of beasts will be at what den you can check this by just hovering over each of the dens and then it will tell you exactly what type of beasts habitat that is.
In order to capture the beasts that you want in this game you’ll need to first obtain the Nab-Sack and then you’ll be able to capture them through the Nab-Sack to create a menagerie inside of the Room of Requirement. If you are familiar with Newt Scamander, from the Fantastic Beasts film series, you can think of this as your very own version of Newt Scammander’s suitcase. Once you’ve been able to capture these beasts you’ll be able to interact with them inside of this sanctuary, by doing things such as petting and feeding them. When it comes to interacting with all the different beasts there are only three that you are able to mount within this game and those include the Graphorns, Hippogriffs as well as the Thestrals.
Then later you’ll even be able to breed them within the Vivariums, if you have both a male and female beast from the same species that is.
