Unlock Taming In Hogwarts Legacy
- The first thing you have to do is to play through the main quest until you unlock the Room of the Requirement quest.
- After this, continue playing and look for the beast class quest.
- This is the main quest from where you will start learning about the general stuff.
- Like how you can brush and feed the beasts and obtain the materials from them.
- Overall you will learn how to tame and take care of these animals properly. While taking this class, you will become friends with Poppy Sweeting.
- She is quite compassionate toward animals.
- Through her, you will come to know about two creatures, including Puffskeins and Kneazles. Furthermore, you will be given the feed and brush that you can utilize later on.
How To Rescue Beasts
- Proceeding further, you will unlock another quest: The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom side quest.
- In this one, you will meet an Elf named Deek, and he will take you to some wild area surrounded by hills.
- The elf will teach you about taming beasts in Hogwarts Legacy by using a spell.
- To capture or rescue the animals, you must keep your target precise.
- Use the Nab-Sack spell as soon as you spot the creature, and this will pull it toward your bag. You can use the other spells (Levioso or Accio) to immobilize the animals.
These spells can be helpful while rescuing the flying ones. Here are brief instructions that may assist you while capturing the beasts
- If you find a beast running before your sight, then use the Nab-Sack Spell
- Wait for the yellow-colored circle to complete
- Then Capture them in your bag
- In some cases, you may need to use other spells along with the Sack spell
- If you fail on the first attempt, keep trying until you get it.
- The capture meters vary according to the beast type.
Unlock The Vivarium
After returning from the wild, you will get access to the Vivarium. It is where you can keep your pets and look after them. You can pet them using the brush and feed them to raise your beasts. To buy the feed, you can visit the Brood and Peck shop, which can be found on the town’s north side.
The Tomes and Scrolls is another shop where you can buy pet feed. The petting benefits don’t end here, as they also provide materials you can use for the gear upgradation. In Vivarium, you can also change their name as per your desire or sell them to earn money in Hogwarts Legacy.
Besides this, you can also breed them. Finish the Foal of the Dead side quest first, then purchase the Breeding Pen for 1000 Gold. It will be available at Tomes and Scrolls. After this, get to the Vivarium and use the Conjuration spell to place this pen to carry out the breeding process.
Types Of Vivarium Rooms
There are certain vivarium locations in Hogwarts Legacy, which are given below.
- Coastal: You will have to finish The Plight of the House Elf side quest to unlock this location. It looks more like a beach with rocky surroundings.
- Swamp: As the name says, it’s a watery dark place, you may not like it, but some creatures adore this area to live in. To unlock the swamp vivarium, you must complete Charles Rookwood’s Trial main quest and then another side quest: Foal of the Dead.
- Meadow/Mountain: This is an alluring grassland area and gets unlocked after playing through the Phoenix Rising side quest.
How To Find Beasts
In Hogwarts Legacy, there are magical dens where you can look for these beasts. They are present at different locations, and the easiest way to identify these locations is to check out the paw symbol on the map.
There are many creatures in this world, and you can visit these dens to find them. To save the animals, you can use the learned methods and techniques.
