How To Find All Wand Handles In Hogwarts Legacy
The wand handles rewarded to the protagonist after completing side quests are pretty easy to obtain, but locating the other 39 wand handles available inHogwarts Legacycan be an extremely difficult process, not because they are well-hidden, but because of how they spawn.
Aside from the wand handles obtained from completing side quests, all other wands inHogwarts Legacycan only be found by opening theCollection Chestsscattered throughout the map. Sadly, the items that appear in Collection Chests arecompletely random, so players will need to open every Collection Chest in the game if they hope to find all the wand handles.
This can take a great deal of time seeing as these chests also contain decorative items forthe Room of Requirementandcraftable traits, but finding and opening them all is the only way to ensure the player obtains every wand handle available in the game.
For those hoping to obtain every wand handle as quickly as possible, there is a way to speed the process up. If the player hopes to improve their chances of finding a wand handle inside a Collection Chest, they shouldsave their game before opening one.
If the item inside the Collection Chest then turns out not to be a wand handle, the player shouldreload the savethey just made and open the chest again. This will cause the item inside the chest to change, and though the item inside may not be a wand handle at first, it eventually will be if the player keeps trying.
Hogwarts Legacyis available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. PS4 and Xbox One versions will release on April 4, and a Switch version will release on July 25.
