On your treasure chest hunting, collect another by taking part in a unique side quest of Hogwarts Legacy called Ghost of Our Love. It is unique because the point where you start this side quest varies depending on your house choice.
Due to the variation, there are four possible starting points to the Ghost Of Our Love quest, and we will discuss them separately, so whatever house you choose, completing this mission will be one of the easiest things you do.
Key Takeaways
- Ghost of Our Love is a unique type of side quest you would attempt because every house member will approach this mission differently.
- The side quest can be started by attempting a main quest, which is different for each house and will guide you to a location where you have to find a map.
- This map is known as the map of Floating Candles. It will guide you to a location unique to each house, which will take you to this map.
- After acquiring the map, make your way to the main entrance of the Forbidden Forest. Casting a Lumos spell before stepping on the stone bridge will bring a set of floating candles toward you.
- Then, all you need to do is follow these candles, and they will directly take you to a treasure chest inside the Forbidden Forest.
Activating The Side Quest
As said, there is a different location to start the quest for each house in Hogwarts. Along with that, there is an additional main quest for each house you need to take part in, guiding you to an important location.
In total, there are four starting locations. Before going there, no matter what house you choose, you will get a letter in your owl post that will assign you to a house-specific quest.
Upon completing that quest, they all will lead you to the exact location, on the door of Richard Jackdaw, a ghost. After the conversation with Jackdaw, you will have to find the map of floating candles; these will take you to your final destination.
Slytherin
If you chose Slytherin as your house during the selection phase, you would get the quest, Scrope’s Last Hope. This mission requires you to be of House Slytherin and at least level five.
The objectives of this mission are as follows:
- Find Scrope’s Note in the Courtyard
- Search for the next note
- Search the pumpkin patch for another note
- Meet Scrope at the water’s edge
- Investigate the Grotto
- Return to Scrope
Gryffindor
Gryffindor students will find themselves doing The Hunt for the Missing Pages quest. It also asks for you to be level five. Start the mission by talking to Nearly Headless Nick as dictated in the letter you received.
After that, follow these objectives:
- Follow Sir Nicholas
- Obtain rotten roast beef
- Return to Sir Nicholas
- Destroy the pumpkins to find the head
- Speak to Richard Jackdaw
Hufflepuff
Hufflepuff house pickers will go for the Prisoner of Love quest as received in their owl posts. In this quest, you will pay visit to a person stuck in Azkaban.
Moreover, if you are level five or above, you can attempt it and complete the following objectives.
- Speak to Helen Thristlewood
- Speak to Anne in Azkaban
- Find what Jackdaw left for Anne
- Leave the vault
Ravenclaw
Anyone who picked Ravenclaw as their house will land on the main quest, Ollivander’s Heirloom. Be above level five to complete this quest and linearly follow these objectives:
- Investigate the Owlery
- Return the bird sculptures to their perches
This ought to be a shorter quest than the other three, as it only requires you to solve a simple puzzle for Richard Jackdaw.

Finding The Map Of Floating Candles
As we had four main quests completed by each house member, they will most certainly have four locations where they can collect the map of floating candles. This map will further lead you to a place on the world map where you will find a bunch of floating candles. Following those will take you one step closer to finish the Ghost of Our Love quest.
Slytherin
Slytherin house members will find their floating candles map here
During your quest, when you are asked to investigate the grotto in that cave, you will look at a white wall with a red symbol drawn on it. This is the same wall from which the ghost of Jackdaw appeared to talk to you.
In front of the wall, there is a substructure. Place the piece of toast you collected on it. When you do that, you will open a secret area over there. That area will include the map of the floating candles you were looking for. Grab it to move forward.
Gryffindor
After conversing inside the Hogsmeade cemetery, move a little North, and you will find yourself in front of a couple of graves. The grave on the right will have the floating candles map you crave. Take it and move to the following location.
Hufflepuff
Hufflepuff house pickers will find the floating candles map in upper hogsfield inside a house near a shop. You can head inside the house by opening the main door, and finding the map will be easy.
Ravenclaw
When you are at the Owlery during your main quest run, go to its highest point and walk toward South. Over there, you will see the desired map of floating candles lying on plain ground.
Final Treasure Chest Location
To follow the floating candles and complete the “Ghost of Our Love” side quest:
- Make sure it’s night or change the time setting to night in the game.
- Head to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, connected by a stone bridge.
- As you approach the bridge, cast the Lumos spell.
- You’ll see candles floating with you; follow them.
