Hogwarts Legacy Trophy Guide Quick Info
The low combat requirement makes this one of the more approachable entries in the PlayStation trophy guide library, but its collection phase is much longer than the 3/10 rating suggests.
Hogwarts Legacy Platinum Roadmap
Phase 1: Complete the Story and Track Finishing Touches
Play on any difficulty and choose the house you want for the full save. Progress through the story, complete professor assignments as they appear, and work through side quests whenever the next main quest has a level recommendation above yours.
Ancient Magic unlocks during Welcome to Hogsmeade. From that point, use it on every new regular enemy type you encounter. Finishing Touches only checks 34 repeatable enemy variants, but the game does not show an in-game checklist of the ones already hit. Starting early prevents a blind search later.
Complete the three relationship questlines for Natsai Onai, Poppy Sweeting, and Sebastian Sallow. You can make any story or dialogue choices without blocking the Platinum. The three Unforgivable Curses are optional and do not count toward The Spell Master.
Finish the main story, then reach level 34 and complete The House Cup for The Seeker of Knowledge. The world remains open after the ending, so collectibles, assignments, side quests, combat trophies, and level 40 can all be finished in free roam.
Phase 2: Finish Side Content, Challenges, and Collectibles
Complete every side quest and relationship quest, learn all required spells, unlock Alohomora III, and clear every challenge tier. Claim each completed challenge reward in the Field Guide because appearances and brooms do not enter the Collections menu until their rewards are claimed.
Then clear the map region by region. Prioritize Collection Chests, Demiguise Statues, Merlin Trials, Field Guide Pages, balloons, landing platforms, Ancient Magic Hotspots, Astronomy Tables, battle arenas, and remaining enemy or beast entries. The broad cleanup resembles the open-world checklist in the Cyberpunk 2077 trophy guide, although Hogwarts Legacy provides regional map counters for most categories.
Reach level 40 through challenge progress, then spend all 36 talent points for Savvy Spender. Finish any remaining Room of Requirement, breeding, potion, plant, stealth, combo, and Ancient Magic requirements before leaving the main save.
Phase 3: Reach the Map Chamber with the Other Three Houses
Create a new character for each house not used by your main save. Skip dialogue and cutscenes, select the required house at the Sorting Ceremony, and continue until the Map Chamber visit after Jackdaw's Rest. Each rushed partial run usually takes about two hours.
A Sorting Ceremony backup only removes the repeated prologue. It does not skip the house-specific quests or the route to the Map Chamber. I recommend using the game's four character slots unless you are comfortable managing whole-game backups. A cloud or USB backup is useful when done before building the full save, but restoring an old copy after dozens of hours can overwrite newer character data.
The Four House Trophies
Each house has one unique quest before Jackdaw's Rest, then all four routes rejoin at the Map Chamber. Your house cannot be changed on an existing character.
| House | Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Slytherin | The Toast of the Town | Reach the Map Chamber as a Slytherin |
| Hufflepuff | The Auror’s Apprentice | Reach the Map Chamber as a Hufflepuff |
| Gryffindor | The Gryffindor in the Graveyard | Reach the Map Chamber as a Gryffindor |
| Ravenclaw | The Wise Owl | Reach the Map Chamber as a Ravenclaw |
The roadmap above saves the extra house runs for last. To use one Sorting Ceremony backup instead, complete the three unwanted houses before the full playthrough and leave your preferred house for last. Quit during the Sorting Ceremony when the autosave exists, then upload that save to PlayStation Plus cloud storage. Disable automatic sync for Hogwarts Legacy while using the backup so the stored Sorting save is not replaced. Select one house, rush to the Map Chamber, let the trophy unlock, and restore the Sorting Ceremony save for the next house. Choose the house intended for the full playthrough last so the final restored save can continue normally.
On PS4, a USB backup can serve the same purpose. On PS5, cloud storage requires PlayStation Plus. The backup contains the full Hogwarts Legacy save set rather than one isolated character, so never restore a stale copy over a developed main save without preserving the newer data first.

Missable Trophies in Hogwarts Legacy
The four house trophies are the only route-specific trophies. They are not permanently missable because you can create new characters at any time, but no single character can earn more than one of them. Plan for three extra journeys to the Map Chamber after the trophy tied to your main house.
Nothing on the full-completion save becomes unavailable after the story. Side quests, professor assignments, relationship quests, collectibles, battle arenas, enemies, and Room of Requirement tasks remain accessible in free roam. Unique story enemies are not required for Finishing Touches.
Avada Kedavra, Crucio, and Imperio can be missed through Sebastian's dialogue choices, but none of them is required for Trophy Triumph, The Spell Master, or Savvy Spender. The Platinum is therefore more forgiving than choice-heavy RPG routes such as the Fallout 4 trophy guide.
Does Difficulty Affect Hogwarts Legacy Trophies?
Difficulty does not affect trophies. You can earn every requirement on Story mode and change difficulty at any time without disabling progress.
Story mode is useful for the main campaign, arenas, and level cleanup. For Raising Expectations, Normal or Hard can help because enemies survive long enough to build a 100-hit combo. An Inferius also works on any difficulty because basic casts build the chain without damaging it until a fire spell is used.
There is no New Game Plus trophy and no requirement to finish the story more than once. The three extra house runs stop at the Map Chamber.
Hogwarts Legacy Collectibles Overview
Hogwarts Legacy contains 1,428 tracked collectible locations and interactions, though many overlap with quests, challenges, enemy discoveries, or automatic progression. Collector’s Edition checks 603 base Collection entries. The visible category totals can appear higher when bonus and additional-content items are included, but those extras are not required for the base Platinum.
Collector’s Edition Collection Categories
| Collection category | Displayed total | Main sources |
|---|---|---|
| Tools | 10 | Story progress and combat plants or potions |
| Enemies | 69 | Encounter regular enemies, infamous foes, and story variants |
| Appearances | 89 | Quests, challenges, exploration, and bonus content |
| Revelio Pages | 150 | Named lore pages revealed with Revelio |
| Beasts | 13 | Encounter or rescue each beast entry |
| Traits | 75 | Bandit camp chests and challenge rewards |
| Wand Handles | 42 | Collection Chests and quests |
| Conjurations | 140 | Collection Chests, butterflies, Vivariums, quests, and vendors |
| Ingredients | 16 | Gather, buy, or receive each ingredient |
| Brooms | 13 | Vendors and balloon challenge rewards |
There are 168 Collection Chests feeding the Traits, Wand Handles, and Conjurations categories. Twelve are hidden across the four Vivariums, and 15 more come from butterfly trails that do not remain marked on the map after discovery. Village, dungeon, and castle counters should be cleared before assuming the missing item is in the open Highlands.
Field Guide Pages and Revelio Requirements
There are 236 Field Guide Pages, but only 180 are needed to finish the regional challenge tiers and claim their appearance rewards:
| Region | Available pages | Required for challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Hogwarts | 150 | 100 |
| Hogsmeade | 55 | 50 |
| Highlands | 31 | 30 |
These skip allowances apply to general Field Guide Pages, not the 150 named Revelio Pages in the Collections menu. All Revelio entries are required for Collector’s Edition. Missing flying pages, moth frames, Levioso statues, or dragon braziers can be ignored once the regional challenge threshold is complete, provided the Collections menu shows every Revelio Page.
Other Trophy and Challenge Collectibles
| Activity | Required amount | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Floo Flames | 83 | Floo Around the World |
| Merlin Trials | 95 | Merlin’s Beard! |
| Demiguise Statues | 33 | Demiguise Dread and Alohomora upgrades |
| Balloon sets | 32 | Broom challenge rewards for Collections |
| Battle Arenas | 2 | Rise to the Challenges |
| Cairn Dungeons | 5 | The Intrepid Explorer |
| Astronomy Tables | 15 | Challenge appearance rewards |
| Landing Platforms | 20 | Challenge appearance rewards |
| Ancient Magic Hotspots | 20 | Challenge progress and extra Ancient Magic bars |
| Hogwarts Secrets | 3 | Exploration challenge rewards |
| Daedalian Keys | 16 | A side quest needed for The Good Samaritan |
| Butterfly trails | 15 | Conjurations from hidden Collection Chests |
| Breedable beast species | 12 | The Nature of the Beast |
| Plant types | 8 | Put Down Roots |
| Potion types | 6 | Going Through the Potions |
I recommend collecting Demiguise moons early. Three are obtained during The Caretaker's Lunar Lament, then returning nine more unlocks Alohomora II. Returning another 13, for 22 handed in overall, unlocks Alohomora III. All 33 are still needed for Demiguise Dread.
Finishing Touches Enemy Checklist
Finishing Touches says to use Ancient Magic on every enemy, but the trophy only checks 34 qualifying repeatable variants rather than all 69 Collection entries. Unique bosses and one-time story enemies are excluded.
Use Ancient Magic on both the human and transformed wolf forms of a Poacher Animagus. Also include the ordinary Mongrel, which can count despite not appearing as a normal entry in the Enemies collection. The practical checklist below includes every commonly accepted target, giving slight redundancy if the trophy unlocks before the final line.
| Group | Enemy variants to hit with Ancient Magic |
|---|---|
| Dugbogs | Stoneback Dugbog, Great Spined Dugbog, Cottongrass Dugbog |
| Ashwinders | Duellist, Scout, Assassin, Ranger, Soldier, Executioner |
| Poachers | Duellist, Tracker, Animagus human form, Animagus wolf form, Ranger, Stalker, Executioner |
| Loyalists and undead | Loyalist Assassin, Commander, Sentinel, Warrior, Ranger, Inferius |
| Venomous spiders | Scurriour, Ambusher, Shooter, Matriarch |
| Thornback spiders | Scurriour, Ambusher, Shooter, Matriarch |
| Trolls | Forest Troll, Mountain Troll, River Troll |
| Wolves | Mongrel, Dark Mongrel |
Ancient Magic requires at least one charged meter segment. Enter fights with a full bar, use the attack on the rarest variant first, then rebuild charge through normal combos. If cleanup is needed, enemy dens, bandit camps, battle arenas, and the Forbidden Forest provide repeatable targets.
General Tips for the Hogwarts Legacy Platinum
Combat and Cumulative Trophy Tips
Use Disillusionment whenever you approach a camp so Petrificus Totalus advances naturally. Enemies can be reset by leaving the area, changing time, or revisiting another camp. Fifty stealth defeats are much quicker when combined with Collection Chest and trait cleanup.
For Raising Expectations, find an Inferius and use only basic casts. Inferi do not take normal damage until hit by a fire spell, so the target survives while the combo rises. Keep distance, dodge every warning prompt, and avoid Incendio or Confringo. A troll on Normal or Hard is another reliable target.
Carry Mandrakes into mixed camps and arenas. The Root of the Problem counts different enemy types rather than 10 total stuns, so use them when several variants are grouped together. Talent upgrades are optional.
Room of Requirement, Potions, and Galleons
Buy every seed and potion recipe, then brew and grow the required items yourself. Going Through the Potions does not count bottles bought ready-made. Place multiple potting tables and potion stations to complete the categories while working elsewhere.
Common Puffskeins provide a simple galleon source. Rescue them from a nearby den, sell surplus beasts to Brood and Peck, and repeat after the den repopulates. Breeding Puffskeins in a Vivarium also creates a steady supply, though normal exploration usually provides enough money for recipes and brooms.
Do not sell all beast materials before Third Time’s a Charm. A third gear upgrade needs higher-tier materials, so keep useful species in the Vivariums, feed and groom them, then upgrade one strong blue, purple, or legendary item three times.
Efficient Map Cleanup
Zoom fully out on the Highlands map to view region counters, then work from north to south. Hogwarts and Hogsmeade have their own counters. Use Revelio while flying low to reveal icons, and listen for the chime that becomes louder near named Revelio Pages.
Claim every challenge reward as soon as a tier completes. Unclaimed appearances and brooms can leave Collector’s Edition incomplete even when the activity itself shows full progress. Merlin Trials also require manual inventory expansion claims, though the trophy checks completed trials rather than equipped slots.
Known Issues and Glitch Warning
Collector’s Edition had a major launch bug on PS5 where the trophy tracker could stop below 603 even when the Collections menu was complete. An official February 2023 patch fixed the trophy cap and added retroactive unlock checks. Later updates also addressed missing butterfly and collection-credit problems, so the trophy is no longer considered unobtainable.
Install the latest game update before starting the final collection sweep. Keep several rotating manual saves, finish the Follow the Butterflies side quest immediately after accepting it, and confirm that a bandit camp chest adds a trait before leaving the area. These habits protect against the older conjuration and trait issues.
Some map counters can still look wrong because not every page type is needed and certain icons are not tracked in the same way. Judge Collector’s Edition through the Collections menu, claimed challenge rewards, and the original 603-item trophy requirement. A Bell Tower Wing page counter below its maximum does not necessarily block the Platinum when the missing page is a non-Revelio page beyond the challenge threshold.
When a trophy appears delayed, save manually, return to the title screen, close and restart the game, then load the completed save. Re-entering the Field Guide or collecting another qualifying item can also trigger a fresh check. Do not begin a second 100 percent run until the current patch, Collections menu, challenge claims, Vivarium chests, butterflies, and vendor entries have all been verified.
Hardest Hogwarts Legacy Trophies and How to Get Them
Collector’s Edition
Collector’s Edition is the longest requirement because it ties together quests, challenges, Collection Chests, Revelio Pages, enemies, vendors, butterflies, Vivariums, and exploration rewards. Finish the story and every side quest first so all regions, spells, locks, and quest-only locations are available.
Clear map counters one region at a time, then compare the Collections menu category by category. If Conjurations are short, check 12 Vivarium chests, 15 butterfly trails, vendors, and challenge rewards before searching ordinary map chests. If Traits are short, inspect bandit camps and unclaimed combat challenges.
Merlin’s Beard!
All 95 Merlin Trials are required, even though the gear-slot challenge ends earlier. Buy Mallowsweet seeds and grow a reserve rather than repeatedly purchasing individual leaves. Complete trials as you pass them during story and collectible travel, then use the regional counters for the final sweep.
The puzzles repeat a small set of solutions. Keep Flipendo, Confringo, Lumos, Depulso, and Wingardium Leviosa available, and use Revelio to highlight nearby puzzle pieces.
Finishing Touches
The difficulty comes from tracking rather than combat. Start a written checklist as soon as Ancient Magic unlocks. Mark the human and wolf forms of Poacher Animagus separately, and remember the regular Mongrel because it is easy to overlook.
If the trophy is still missing after the story, revisit repeatable camps and dens in checklist order. Begin with troll variants, both spider families, Mongrel, Inferius, and the Animagus forms because those are the most common omissions.
A Forte for Achievement and Savvy Spender
Experience comes from Field Guide challenges rather than endlessly defeating ordinary enemies. Complete quests, pages, exploration objectives, combat challenges, and Room of Requirement goals until level 40. Then spend all 36 talent points, save, and reload if the tracker takes a moment to update.
You cannot purchase every talent because the trees contain more options than available points, but Savvy Spender only requires using all earned points. No specific talent or Dark Arts spell is mandatory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many trophies are in Hogwarts Legacy?
Hogwarts Legacy has 46 trophies: 28 Bronze, 15 Silver, 2 Gold, and 1 Platinum.
How long does it take to Platinum Hogwarts Legacy?
The Platinum takes about 60-80 hours. Most of that time goes into collectibles, challenges, level 40, and the three additional house routes.
Is the Hogwarts Legacy Platinum hard?
No. It is about 3/10 because difficulty does not matter and there are no demanding bosses or online trophies. The main challenge is completing the long open-world checklist.
Do you need to play as all four houses?
Yes. You must reach the Map Chamber as Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw. One route belongs to the full playthrough and the other three end after Jackdaw's Rest.
Do you need every collectible in Hogwarts Legacy?
You need all 603 base Collection entries and every collectible tied directly to a trophy. Only 180 of 236 Field Guide Pages are needed for challenge rewards, but all 150 named Revelio Pages are required.
Can you get the Hogwarts Legacy Platinum in one playthrough?
Almost. One character can complete every trophy except the three house trophies tied to the other houses. Those require three partial new-character runs of roughly two hours each.
Are the Unforgivable Curses required for the Platinum?
No. Crucio, Imperio, and Avada Kedavra are optional. They do not count toward The Spell Master, Savvy Spender, or any other trophy.
What is the hardest trophy in Hogwarts Legacy?
Collector’s Edition is the hardest in terms of time and tracking because it requires nearly every collection category, challenge reward, and exploration system on one save.
Hogwarts Legacy is mechanically easy, but the final collection sweep still demands careful tracking. A Hogwarts Legacy Platinum Trophy service is available for players who prefer to skip the remaining collectible and house-replay grind.
